Glåsbird is an anonymous artist, active since 2018 and with releases to date appearing exclusively on Whitelabrecs, as part of a series called A Sonic Expedition. With each edition in the collection, the artist concentrates on a different geographic location. The project emerged somewhere inside the Arctic Circle, descending to Greenland, moving onto Svalbard and then the Norwegian Fjords before most recently, on the Russian owned peninsulas Novaya Zemlya. The music of Glåsbird ranges from electro-acoustic Ambient to Modern Classical, with this artist keen on producing a range of experiments to show their full range of ideas and techniques.

We’re pleased to unveil the next destination in this series, in the form of Siberia which is a double album befitting an exploration of the largest region on earth. Glåsbird has teamed up with glaciologist and photographer Nelly Elagina who provides first-hand accounts of Siberia in the form of images and captions from her time there. In the CD packaging, a special photo booklet has been included to showcase these experiences. For the artist, their account of this latest destination is entirely imagined. The first disc sets out to explore the beauty of the landscape and its ancient history. As with previous albums, the music feels icy cold but evocative, aiming to transport you to imagine the landscape in all its splendour for yourself. The second part of the album moves into more topical territory, portraying Siberia as it is today. Shifting weather patterns and devastating climate change inspire the mood of the compositions, which lean towards melancholy, tense or dramatic reflections, rounded off with a thought provoking title.

As always, we wonder, where in the world might the Glåsbird land next?

One of ambient drone's most recognised names, anthéne graces Ambientologist with his debut vinyl release. Having brought 12"s into the world for so many wonderful artists under his own Polar Seas imprint, it's nothing but an honour to have him as the first vinyl offering of this little label.

maritime is a showcase of anthéne's patient yet intriguing soundscaping, but this time with an altogether more grounded and directional approach. After an unmistakably calming first half, the album journeys somewhat darker, more introspective, without drawing away from the vastness of its initial input.

A new, more focused sound for anthéne, maritime presents a real cognitive exploration, framed by its subject - the vastness, awe and terror of the ocean.

Taken from the forthcoming album "Pausilypon"

In “Pausilypon” the musical composition connects with the soundscape, an element that gives a deep connection with the sociocultural environment and with a specific context. The album is based on the composition of narrative music and presents possibilities to represent the world through the creation inspired by the sound of the environment, made of people, vocal sounds, significant moments of urban life, with special attention to timbres, shapes, rhythms, heights, textures and dynamics.....

Origines Vol. 01: Ambient Album for the Ocean ♫

Saisons Musique artists coming together for Marine Life Preservation

Dear Friends and Ocean Lovers,

This Earth Day, we are excited to share Origines Vol. 01: Ambient Album for the Ocean, a fundraiser with 100% of net proceeds from Bandcamp sales supporting BC Whales and their marine conservation efforts.

Curated by Kora and Saisons Musique, Origines brings together diverse artists from around the world united by a common purpose: to honour and protect our oceans. The title reflects the profound truth that all life on Earth originated from the ocean—we are all connected to the water womb that birthed life itself.

The album features stunning visual art by Ioana Todosia: "Estero" Cyanotype textile print created on Pacific Coast of Oaxaca, MX. Ioana creates sun prints by dipping cloth into the ocean, allowing nature itself to create the art—capturing the traces where tide meets shore.

From Montreal to Oaxaca, Australia to Argentina, this international soundscape celebrates our global community while serving as both an ambient journey and a call to action. Each track is designed to foster reconnection—within ourselves, with each other, and with our planet, offering moments of reflection, resilience, and renewal.

The artists behind Origines believe in the power of art to inspire change. Together, we keep hope we can make a difference in protecting the oceans and the majestic beings that call them home.

Heartfelt thanks to Mathilde for her amazing research in selecting the right foundation, Elise for her help with project coordination and Elle for the marine life footage she documented oversea.

Thanks to all the artists for coming together.

Thanks to all of you for listening, sharing and supporting this project.

With gratitude,

The Saisons Musique family!
