This record is about hard sadness and of heartbreak imbued with the humble expressions of the indescribable beauty of this existence which rings true through all of it, for all time. 

Musically, I am compelled toward long-form live improvisations that go on for 20-30 minutes. I then edit and manipulate and polish, carving and sculpting over and over, long days often for months on an album until it becomes a truer version of itself that was not there at conception. Much like life! I then pick the best section for the songs that infer their own structure. Also included on this album are short-form telescopic soundprints where I use a dronier and more layered approach. 

Some very personal meditations make up tracks 5 and 7 and 9 of Homeworld. During a very hard and also heart-breaking beginning to the New Year of 2020 (even before the pandemic!) I recorded the pieces Sadness Too Deep and Ode to Scotty allowing the expressions of both the pain and the beauty which rang so true then, still and always. Supporting the song Ode to Scotty is a long field recording I captured in our apple orchard on the afternoon of March 3, 2020, a full moon with very heavy grey weather. Soon afterwards came the very bad news. Two days later the music was improvised while meditating with these creatures’ songs and was originally a seventeen minute piece. 

Yes. Nature sounds. I am 100% addicted. Waters. Melodic winged-ones. Insects. So cliché and yet it melts my soul good. I love manipulating the recordings into a designed sound sometimes. In consort with the music it just puts me in a trance: when I am playing, when I am editing and afterwards as a listener! The combination of the piano-centric sounds and the earth samples can make one think of the new age style but these are very deliberately poised away from such deliberations to keep something I cannot put my finger on; perhaps a shying away from rhythm or repetitions; rather more like water flowing, moving over rocks; not as a clock ticking or a song singing. The exception is a new color appearing as Emerald Nymphs; this Hipnotic Earth composition uses tempo and bass and drum with inferred and sparse effects, a style I will be expanding with. The older Lakeboat is included here, another strangely hypnotic track whose call for the light of day is answered in Homeworld. I can listen to this track forever, it does something to me. I hope it does to you, too. 

(I would like to make a special shout-out here to Lars Nyquist for his phenomenal photographic image “in Hope” urtida.com. Also, a big thank you to Paul for supporting this album!!)

To quote the label when they sent over the final mix from Steve Moore, “This may be the proggiest isolatedmix yet”, so sit back and absorb yourself amongst the mind of a man who is as comfortable scaring the hell out of people in cinemas, as he is performing in front of thousands, and then casually creating some of the finest synthesizer music this side of the Millennium.

"This mix can be seen as a stroll through sonic landscapes, and soundscapes. Its mysterious yet luminous elements pave the way for a state of wakefulness, balancing the yin/yang energies present in all things, at all times. As the mix progresses, it seems that we gain more and more insight into the material depth of sound. Setting broader horizons as the day begins and the journey ends, only to begin all over again." (Victoire K.)

Private Mountain's third long-form release СТРАТУМИ (STRATUMI or STRATUMS in Cyrillic) uses the metaphor of geological strata to meditate on the different aspects of reality, their relationships and tectonic confrontations. Political, Economic, Cultural, Mental, Morphogenetic, Libidinal strata are the constituents of what the personal and social realities are. Now is the time to stop taking it for granted, to come out of the philosophical cave and learn personal and social responsibility, solidarity, communication and collaboration especially in these troubling times of capitalism pandemic accelerating beyond our ordinary powers of comprehension. 

After 'Dark political stratum', slightly noisier and experimental release (which development came out as an outtake of this material), on 'СТРАТУМИ' they return to more subtle plateaus, combining field recordings, drone and ambient sound, this time supported by the piano and synth of the drone superstars Carlo Giustini and Robert Farrugia! 
* * * 
Private Mountain is audio and visual project of Dimitar Dodovski and Toni Dimitrov releasing their debut album 'Blue Mountain' on UK label Neotantra (curated by Lee Anthony Norris). It is a project about their shared fascination with nature, art, philosophy and many discussions about the past and future of ambient music, that resulted with a beautiful introspective album, a complex blend of field recordings, drone and ambient sound that captivates fans of this genre with its emotional impact and subtle nostalgia (and that entered the bandcamp chart of ambient bestsellers and received many great reviews). The second album 'Dark Political Stratum' (published on Élan Vital Recordings) is a conceptual album that refers to the global geopolitical changes and turbulence at the beginning of the 21 century. Produced in Macedonia, a center of the global geostrategic clashes of the superpowers, it is a sound statement to these global political shifts, observed through the local prism. 

Produced by Dimitar Dodovski. Field recordings and arrangements by Toni Dimitrov. Additional synths and piano by Robert Farrugia, Carlo Giustini. Cover design: Dimitar Dodovski. Photo inlay: Toni Dimitrov.

The sound compilation includes the works of such musicians and projects as Mono Tape, Sistal, Notnotice, Abjective, SAM, Waveskania, Retablo, CH40 and the works by the author of the mix.
Simphonic Silence Inside (SSI) was founded in 2007 in the southern city Rostov-on-Don. It combines the qualities of a community that unites creative people, develops the local scene and invites foreign artists, a promo group that creates audio-visual concerts, festivals, show cases, as well as a digital label that publishes albums on streaming services from musicians from all over Russia. The social vector of SSI remains unchanged to this days. The label moved to St. Petersburg and is based in the art center “Pushkinskaya-10”, holding concerts of ambient and experimental music in the walls of the Museum of Sound / ESG-21.
