DR-79 : ENRICO CONIGLIO - Alpine Variations

"The strenuous conquest of the top, the splendor of a landscape that slowly reveals in its dazzling beauty. In his new work, the Venetian based composer, guitarist and field recorder Enrico Coniglio leads us once again among his loved ones mountains: an epic landscape in which enchantment and fear are deeply intertwined. He chooses to do so offering us the sound as a sensory canvas of an imaginary enterprise with deliberately indefinite contours.

"Alpine variations" is a further step in the sound research carried out by the author in a long and complex path built over time inspired by environmental and atmospheric sounds.

A bewitching narrative emerges from the intersection of bright harmonic textures and dense ambient vapors crossed by restless shadows. The individual parts of this narration represent the stages of an ascent that is at the same time physical and spiritual. It is a nostalgic plot that in the partial roughness of its resonances returns the sense of precariousness of a bumpy path, poised between quiet contemplation and impending danger. 

The cinematic approach constantly reveals the genesis of an album originally built on a series of recordings dedicated to the creation of a film sound commentary that finally become an autonomous itinerary. Finally, all that remains is to close your eyes and prepare to face the journey".

ENRICO CONIGLIO - First Ascent

Formed by the Cult of the Inverse, this project is a side project from the mind of the creator and producer Anti Inverse.
They want you to drift, the divine washes over all. One is no greater than the one that came before, all things are one.

Purpose (Forever) - A Better Place Can Exist

http://www.astrangelyisolatedplace.com/asipv004-markus-guentner-theia

There was chaos and violence, a collision of dark matter and heat. 
In the maelstrom, a legacy was created and a new moon born. 
She left something here forever.
But amongst infinite black depths,
Theia rages on. 

Markus Guentner's new album, Theia, arrives November 9th on double transparent vinyl housed in a matte-laminated gatefold sleeve.

Map 165 is a collaboration between Martin A Smith and Tim Hooper exploring disorganised sound, atonality, beauty and evocation. Following on from 2014’s The Fatigue of Sunlight and Wine (Voxxov) and their collection of live recordings A Foreign Country, we are pleased to announce the release of their latest album Of Adam Sleeping in the Lap of God. 

An ambient work in four movements inspired by the north portico of Chartres cathedral Of Adam Sleeping in the Lap of God melts stone into music using a series of field recordings, synths and guitars. 

Of Heaven and earth: 
The formless becomes formed. A swirling coalescence of themes and sounds. Through repetition a pattern appears. Order is created. Across a slow shimmering, four notes call out bridging the void. 

The deepest midnight blue 
The sound from the lowest point of the lake 
The silence of the space above the Earth 
The beat of the heart 

Of the firmament: 
A blissful disorientation. Shimmering, confusing, a wrapping inwards of time and rhythm with multiple refraction of the same themes overlaid but still apparent. 

It is the clangour of bells reflected off stone walls in an old town 
It is the beat of wings over a lake 
It is the confusion of walking in to a dark interior out of the brilliant sunshine 
It is the clamour of foreign languages in the market place 

Of the Sun and the Moon: 
Reflective and contemplative, with a receding sadness. Watching the last sun of Summer set knowing that Winter will be coming. 

Wind between the fingers of trees 
Dust settling in corners until Spring 
Hands resting upon the table 
Valleys filled with fine rain 

Of Eden: 
Neither afraid of night or morning. Each day welcomed; each day passing as easily as water in a river. The security of knowing what you like and trusting your judgement. Equal with all, afraid of none. Night comes blissfully again. 

The comfort of time passing 
The first moment of sleep 
Closing the door once home 
A friend’s voice

Map165 / Of Adam sleeping in the lap of God (Snippets)

This album is dedicated to Brian Young, known to many of us as Losing Today, who died earlier this year. Brian was a brilliant photographer whose work was used for many album covers. He was a real fan who supported our music, a friend to many in the scene and a lovely guy. He is already missed.

All proceeds from this album will go directly to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Special thanks to Porya Hatami for his time and the great mastering job.

Niskogradba - Who Knows, Who Knew (Taken from Lies, Deception and Sin - Out Now)

For this Exclusive Track Premiere, I'm actually inversing on my roles: instead of being the announcer, I am the featured artist, along with Uwe Zahn, for our collaborative album, title "Aeon" released on Eilean Rec. today.

During our private conversation through music, Uwe and I explored the most mysterious of mediums, dimensions and philosophies - that of "time". Time is what allows sound to exist, by carrying the pressure levels through its mythic axis. Timelessness is unbeknown to man, and concepts like "forever" and "eternity" are captured in a Latin word of "aeon". The German word "unendlich" describes the notion of infinity on which philosophers have puzzled over "ages". And as "finality" is easier to grasp, since all things come onto an end, we're left with "endlich" of ourselves and of our music.

Uwe and I sincerely hope that you connect with our studies and deconstructions thereof, inasmuch as you simply enjoy the beautiful music that we wanted to share, beyond all theories... beyond all thought... beyond all time...

Unendlich, Endlich

TRACK PREMIERE : Arovane & Mike Lazarev - Unendlich, Endlich

A compilation from El Muelle Records, Spain. 

Todo comenzó con una reflexión que sobrevolaba por nuestro muelle, la sensación de que estamos viviendo tiempos áridos y agrios, donde el grito sin sentido se alza sobre las voces y el ambiente es de una aspereza que asfixia. 
A la conclusión que llegábamos era la urgencia de calidez humana, de sentir el abrazo y la cercanía del otro, sean allegados o no, amigos o desconocidos. 
De esta máxima surge “Slow sketch vol. 1: Reflections of the ambient community”, nuestro granito de arena para que los tiempos fríos acaben transformados en esa calidez humana y así, añadir una banda sonora quieta a esos momentos donde la humanidad acaba siendo nuestro traje de diario. 
“Slow sketch vol. 1: Reflections of the ambient community” presenta el trabajo de cuarenta artistas y proyectos que comparten nuestra reflexión sobre el mundo que nos rodea y recogen el testigo de nuestra propuesta para ofrecernos su calidez y sensibilidad a través de las máquinas.

DR-69 : PORYA HATAMI - Kani + Remixes (incl. Darren McClure, Purl, Arovane, Tomotsugu Nakamura, Sven Laux)

Originally released in 2013 on the Inner Ocean label, Porya Hatami’s “Kani” was a four track EP showcasing his intimate take on modern ambient music. The Iranian artist has issued a large number of albums that imbue pastoral ambient with subtle field recordings and melodies. The melodic aspect of Hatami’s work took centre stage in this release, and shone bright across the four pieces.

So now, seven years later, “Kani” is being given the reissue that it deserves, and will delight those listeners new to it, and those who are rediscovering it again. Besides the original four tracks, there are an additional five remixes by artists working in a similar orbit to Hatami, and some who have collaborated directly with him in the past.

These reworks cover plenty of ground, reimagining the source material into new shapes. Some remixes extend the foggy soundscapes and conjure delicate melodic plucks. Others add mellow pulses that infer rhythm under the washes of sound, while others take these rhythmic ideas much further.
