"A Moment in Time" is a concept that refers to a singular and fleeting experience that occurs in a specific moment. It can be a positive or negative experience, but it is always something that is unique and singular to that moment. 
It can be something as simple as the feeling of the sun on your skin or the sound of the wind through the trees and also be a more profound experience, like a life-changing event or a moment of great clarity. Ultimately, a Moment in Time is a reminder to appreciate the present moment and everything that comes with it.

7. SLOW - FAST

There are many things that we cannot accurately perceive, and the concept of "time" is probably one of them. Since ancient times, many philosophers and thinkers have explored the topic of "time," but I believe that we still do not understand time itself, let alone changes in time.

Suppose you meet a friend for the first time in 10 years. You will start with "How have you been?" or "What are you doing now?" Then you would gradually start talking about different things, trying to make up for the 10-year gap, forgetting about yourself. You left the house with plenty of time to spare, but before you knew it, it was time to go to your next destination. Such an experience is quite common. You have lost control of yourself in the midst of regular time because your consciousness has been diverted to an unexpected turn of events.

If you are listening to this track and your consciousness is directed to something other than the track, and the stronger that consciousness is, the less likely you are to notice the changes that are occurring in the track.

Our innate ability to perceive is not that strong, and the world is full of things that we cannot find unless we actively seek them out.

Orghanon "Kairos"

First Snow of The Year" is the project of Belgium-based artist Erik Sevenans, who adopted this moniker in 2017 following his relocation to Munich, Germany. Whilst grappling with a foreign language and adjusting to his new environment, Erik found himself in the midst of an exceptionally cold winter that year. During this period of adaptation, he embarked on the creation of an album, delving into the exploration of ambient textures, a departure from his usual musical terrain. The album, born out of this experimental phase, coincided with the first snowfall of the year, thus being the reason for the project's distinctive name. Originally conceived as Erik's personal soundtrack for his daily subway commute while engrossed in Murakami novels, the project took on a life of its own.
 
In 2018, Erik made a conscious decision to turn this into an annual tradition, committing to record an album each year following the first snowfall. The raw essence of his second album served as the demo version for his release with Whitelabrecs, titled "Awakening of the Pines". The record drew inspiration from Munich's surroundings, the majestic Alps, the Isar river, and the nearby forest. During the challenges posed by the Covid-19 lockdowns and beyond, Erik experienced a surge in creative productivity. He dedicated time to refining his sound, experimenting with techniques, and applying newfound knowledge to both the development of fresh material and the enhancement of his existing body of work.
 
The writing of "Awakening of the Pines" involved diverse techniques and ideas, reflecting Erik's pursuit of discovery. The initial compositions varied in style, with some leaning towards a post-rock aesthetic and others embracing a more synth-based approach. Despite this diversity, the common thread binding the tracks on this record together was the inspiration from his surrounding environment alongside the novels he was reading at the time. Each piece retains its original character, preserving the essence of its initial spark, creating a cohesive yet eclectic album.

On Therapy, his gripping third collection for Imprec, Alexandre Bazin creates concise melodic electro-acoustic environments with ripping timbres, deep staccato sequences and a dramatic immediacy. Elements of classical, minimal techno, modular-ambient and drone music permeate this aptly titled album, Therapy, from Alexandre Bazin.

Bazin himself describes this album as "new experimental electronic music." Melodic progression, pulse and timbre play key roles in his delicately crafted work. Saturation and feedback permeate the sonic atmosphere allowing new fragments to emerge creating new melodies and tonal colors.

Bazin's sound suggests the presence of electric guitars, orchestras and acoustic instruments which are also present on this album. All but the first two tracks of therapy include acoustic instruments carefully placed in the mix.
