My Mind Goes Down

Ether, in the literary sense, can be defined as 'the clear sky; the upper regions of air beyond the clouds.', or more informally as 'air regarded as a medium for radio'. Music, as well as the inspiration for it, are ephemeral in nature. In making this album, I often thought about the manner in which the sounds and patterns that form a piece of music are brought in to existence from nothingness. They drift into the listener's space, evolve over time, and drift off like clouds on the wind.

Tradewinds

In this enthralling collaboration, German ambient artist Logic Moon and Swedish composer and cellist Henrik Meierkord announce the release of their latest EP, "Ewiger Wald". This new offering is an exquisite exploration of ambient soundscapes, seamlessly fused with the rich tones of violin and cello. 

"Ewiger Wald" is an auditory journey through a spectrum of emotions, from the profound depths to the luminously friendly, encapsulating a wide range of modern ambient music. The EP is a testament to the artistic synergy between Logic Moon and Meierkord, who have meticulously blended their unique sounds to create something truly ethereal. 

Written and produced by Henrik Meierkord (cello, violin) and Tobias Lorsbach (electronics).

Sternenjubel

Tilwin (meaning 'colouring' in Maltese, Robert's native tongue) started being written during the summer of 2023 and was concluded on the last day of that year. The album reflects some major life events Robert encountered throughout that same year. Tilwin is an attempt at embracing a period of lows and highs, an effort of encapsulating these experiences within recordings. Each event described here is coloured in Robert's mind by a 'hue', that was then reflected in each track forming the album. Tilwin depicts events as varied as a tragic incident endured by a loved one and their period of convalescence, as can be heard on the song 'Long Wait', to the birth of a new family member on the Christmas day, as can be heard on the song 'Post Christmas'. Hence the album name: Tilwin.

04 As They Fall

Wide soundscapes, nostalgic pads, heavy chords, rich textures and fragile plucked melodies, pull us to the deepest and darkest before bringing us back to the light. That’s the transformation path that Dive want to take us across all tracks. Dive, the album title, as a metaphor about leaving the surface and falling into the deepest emotions, face the unknown and therefor be forced to grow.

After his self-tittled and self-released debut album in 2019, a mixture of ambient, electronic and post rock, on this new album João Pedro Nogueira wanted to take on a new direction and focused only on ambient and electronic.

For the most of the sounds vintage analog synths were used.
