Taken from the upcoming album 'Wave Particles', released through Fluid Audio...

'Wave Particles' is a project that holds special significance for me. It delves into my ongoing fascination with the intricate interplay between nature, consciousness, and technology. Throughout the year, I've had numerous opportunities to explore these themes. I've become particularly intrigued by the role that resonance plays in connecting these elements, fostering a profound sense of interconnectivity within our surroundings.

As we find ourselves at a unique juncture where nature, consciousness, and technology converge. Through this music, I've aimed to capture the threads that bind these elements together - Alex Smalley

Liz Helman and Darren McClure formed Longswarm in the summer of 2023, after randomly being brought together on another project. Residing in different parts of the globe, England and Japan respectively, their collaborations involve file exchanging and developing a shared soundpool of ideas that gradually build into finished pieces. Sunlight Was Peeled Away is the second album by the duo and consists of processed field recordings, ambient drones and smudged textures. 

Artists Biographies 

Liz Helman is a London based multi-disciplinary artist, working in time-based media. Her work, both visual and sonic, is a response to place and environment. By walking the streets, and experiencing different levels of sounds, she begins her process with field recordings, making immersive and mesmerising drone based compositions that explore layers of sound and texture. She very much likes working organically, following the thread of the sound to its ultimate destination, which she likes to think of as sonic alchemy. 

She has also released solo and collaborative work on a number of labels including Flaming Pines, Shimmering Moods, Midira Records and Kohlenstoff. 


Darren McClure is from Northern Ireland, now living in Matsumoto, Japan. His audio work focuses on texture, space and atmosphere. Sound sources are both analogue and digital, hardware and software, incorporating found sounds and field recordings to lend an organic, tactile quality to the material. His main intent is to create music to zone out to and zone into, a balance of widescreen drones and more minimal, abstract ambience. 

He has released solo and collaborative work on a number of labels, including Dragons Eye, Glistening Examples, Shimmering Moods and n5MD. His music has also been used in conjunction with video artwork and documentary shorts.

Longswarm - Highway To The Orange Sky

https://slowtonecollages.bandcamp.com/album/this-cruel-life-is-a-shy-little-breath-set-in-the-timeless-landscape-drawn-by-solar-winds

“If our view is limited to mortal life, some things become unbearable because they seem so unfair and so permanent.”(Boyd K. Packer)  

Cruel Life, part I 
Cruel Life, part II 
Cruel Life, part III 

This album is about how much Life can be Cruel and Merciless and sometimes times it’s simply a matter of approach and points of view, although some events cruelly upset our daily living. We've got to take care of our hearts needs, first.   

It was written and composed in a reasonable “long” period of time for my standards and I could say it’s more complex than previous albums on Slow Tone Collages (check “Nachtlicht” and “Beauty and Misery”), but it’s warm, intimate, soothing and it sounds more experimental than the previous albums in many ways.  

I've tried to master this new album of mine, giving as warmth and colour as possible, in order to enhance each part's nature and sound.

This Cruel Life is a Shy Little Breath set in the Timeless Landscape drawn by Solar Winds

will we meet again? - instrumental

Ding-ding, like pieces of ice, metallophone sounds bounce off stones in the frost and, striking, change their shape, become thick and viscous, barely transparent, flowing downward. This is how time slows down, disappearing under the veil of tape, where naive childhood melodies decelerate and stretch. Whether from overwhelming nostalgia or from the realization that none of this ever existed.

syndryang is a project by Vladimir Sychev, whose childhood was spent in the far north in Novy Urengoy. According to the beliefs of the Nenets who lived in what is now the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, a person consisted of a body and two souls: breath ("ind'") and shadow ("syndryang"). Breath was the common soul of all living things, from humans to plants. The shadow, however, was half-independent: it accompanied a person, protected from other shadows and underground beings, brought dreams. The loss of shadow led to illness and madness.

self-titled '24 is an attempt to capture what slips away: the feeling of home in a place you want to leave, and longing for a time that perhaps never came. Cassette recordings and melancholic melodies, digitized and filtered through the prism of modern technology, create a double exposure effect of time. Here lives a blurred past, where genuine and imagined memories interweave into one sonic picture.

------------------------------------------------

Дзынь-дзынь, словно кусочки льда, звуки металлофона отскакивают от камней на морозе и, ударяясь, меняют свою форму, становятся густыми и тягучими, еле прозрачными, стекают вниз. Так замедляется время, исчезая под пеленой плёнки, где наивные детские мелодии замедляются и растягиваются. То ли от накатывающей ностальгии, то ли от осознания, что всего этого никогда не было.

syndryang — проект Владимира Сычёва, чьё детство прошло на крайнем севере в Новом Уренгое. Согласно представлениям ненцев, живших на территории современного Ямало-Ненецкого автономного округа, человек состоял из тела и двух душ: дыхания («инд'») и тени («синдрянг»). Дыхание — общая душа всего живого, от людей до растений. Тень же была наполовину самостоятельной: она сопровождала человека, защищала от чужих теней и подземных существ, приносила сны. Потеря тени вела к болезням и безумию.

self-titled '24 — попытка ухватить то, что ускользает: ощущение дома в месте, которое хочется покинуть, и тоску по времени, которое, возможно, никогда не наступало. Кассетные записи и меланхоличные мелодии, оцифрованные и пропущенные через призму современных технологий, создают эффект двойной экспозиции времени. Здесь живёт размытое прошлое, где подлинные и выдуманные воспоминания сплетаются в одну звуковую картину.
