AMOR MUNDI I. -> VI.

Sometimes I find great music, and sometimes music simply finds me. In this case, it was a dear friend, Luke Howard, who pointed me to a piece by Marty Hicks which completely captivated me, and now, here we are, premiering a track to a worldwide audience. I have a lot to say about this piece, but, after getting in touch with Marty to bring you “From Afar, Unhindered” he’s had a lot to say himself. So instead of my usual words, you will find the words from the composer here: hcdi.gs/MartyHicks

TRACK PREMIERE : Marty Hicks - From Afar, Unhindered

Exclusive track taken from the upcoming album 'Mirall' released through Sonic Pieces...

Following the intimate but epic Vora from 2013, Rauelsson is back and in grand form with the utterly captivating Mirall, his second full-length album for Sonic Pieces. The new record continues the lush landscapes of earlier times while moving his sound into a feast of organic beats and textural dynamism. 

Among the novel elements there's a great sense of joy and upbeat moments scattered throughout the album, mirroring its melancholic base. This combination feels very natural and merges perfectly with the overall majestic sound. Raúl also blends an impressive array of instruments and genres while still reflecting his personal and somewhat secretive presence. The producer lives on the Spanish coast in a rather detached way from any online presence, focusing on family life and the real sense of humanity. This feeling vibrates through the sound of Mirall making for a very emotional venture. 

Expect to hear organs, synths, tape-loops, clarinet, strings, piano and percussion, just to name a few key sounds present on this record, all compiled and produced with a passionate taste for acoustic experimentation. This sense of sonic open-mindedness was skillfully amplified by Nils Frahm's studio work, who mixed and mastered Mirall. The album finishes off with a surprising unaccompanied lullaby, interpreted by Heather Woods Broderick. Rauelsson delivers another timeless album we already can't wait to re-visit again and again.

Release Date:
May 25, 2018 (Worldwide)

Arrows

Rauelsson - Arrows

‘Suspended In Silence’ is the second in a series of three completed albums presenting a new, more melodic direction for Hipnotic Earth. Continuing with spacious, evocative and immersive drone-based tonalities, the vast majority of these pieces are one-off improvisations that were recorded during the mornings of mid-2018 in the wine country of California. Here there is a love for not remembering how a song is made. The modus operandi is quite spontaneous, be it the recording process or sound design and mixing of additional colors afterwards. Simply in the moment with no agenda, this music strives for eternal endings and slow rotations around an axis of serenity. During the recording of these tracks birds and other creatures would sometimes meander into the apple orchard where the studio is located. They seemed to be drawn to the music as if they wanted to be on the album and occasionally, their wish was granted!

@Vargkvint Contemplative Classical Guest Mix:

This playlist features songs that inspire me in my music and that I’ve in many cases have had the pleasure to enjoy live. I think all of them has a roughness and honesty about them, that’s really suitable to the weather and mindset of Stockholm right now, where winter is long gone but spring never seems to arrive.  I see this mix as a journey that starts in a dreamlike state with the nostalgically haunting ”Come wander with me”, that then moves through delicate piano songs, some melancholic acoustic guitar pieces and evolving into more electronic soundscapes. The mix also features a premiere of Aisling Brouwer’s rework of Jakob Lindagen’s ”In the Machinery”. 
I’m imagining this mix working wonderfully while sitting in a remote cabin in the woods listening to this as the night slowly falls. 

Vargkvint is the musical project of Swedish multi-artist Sofia Nystrand. Her first full-length album ”Hav” is scheduled for release on April 5th through Piano And Coffee Records. She has on several occasions toured internationally, and will perform at Q3Ambientfest in Potsdam, Germany on April 14th.
