A Quiet Realm

*FULL PREVIEW*. If anyone was going to capitalise on the dark and menacing 'Black Day, Silver Sea', it was the cinematic genius of Stray Theories.

There’s always private pleasure in seeing beauty where others don’t. Sometimes it’s just a case of the personal outweighing the spectacular but in a part of the world as vast and stunning as Yorkshire, the abundance of scenery makes finding that place an infinitely easier coincidence. Ilkley or ‘Heather Spa’ is one such place for 36 aka Dennis Huddleston. A moorland area on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, it’s served as both a place of escape and inspiration.

“It’s a place I’ve visited many times at various stages of my life,” he begins, “coming from Bradford, which has had its fair share of social and economic problems over the years, Ilkley provided an escape from the city and is somewhere me and my friends spent many days and nights. It isn't the largest, nor the most beautiful countryside in England, but it has an undeniable charm that’s felt by everyone who’s visited.”

You feel that connection throughout ‘Heather Spa’. It’s one of familiarity and rejuvenation with the exhale of the strings evoking happiness and a gazing contentment. ‘Heather Spa (Burning)’ is just as poised and gentle with its slow, weaving melodies and whilst it’s more clouded and subdued, it leaves a determinedly resonant impression.

“There was a huge fire in 2006 which destroyed vast areas of the moorland,” Dennis explains. “I had visited it only a few days prior and the lush green land was replaced by charred cinders, completely decimating the landscape. It was quite a sight to behold and there was an undeniable melancholy in the air. Reseeding efforts and the tough will of nature has reversed most of the damage and Ilkley Moor is alive once again.”

The initial inspiration for the ‘Shadow Play’ album, this final instalment of ‘Heather Spa’ marks the culmination of Dennis’ personal trilogy, and helps the ‘Heather Spa EP’ feel like a very natural conclusion to a journey of transition, progression and redemption.

"It's come full-circle in a way,” Dennis muses, “Heather Spa as a concept was the catalyst for my latest album 'Shadow Play' and you can see three distinct yet fully-connected chapters on what is a single story; the inception with Heather Spa, the realisation with Shadow Play, and finally with this EP for the ASIP Places Series, an epilogue. I think they're some of the most emotional pieces of music I've worked on and I hope you enjoy taking this final journey with me, right back at the place where it started."

 Stillpoint
 At the center of us is a focal point of consciousness
 Perfectly still, yet vibrant with life 
This is our natural state
Ever at peace, yet ever expanding
 Ever at peace  In knowing that being can never cease to be
 Thus there is no death Only eternal life 
Ever expanding  In knowing that eternity is never done
 We are in continuous motion towards what lies beyond
 Across endless new horizons

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.

She left something here forever.
But amongst infinite black depths,
Theia rages on. 

Depicting the legendary impact of the planet Theia, Pop Ambient pioneer Markus Guentner returns to vinyl, with a highly anticipated full-length LP.

Eternell - Portals

A piece of music can become a portal leading us to greater awareness of the love that is the foundation of our existence.

Relaxing into the emotions evoked by the sounds is all that is required for the portal to open, leading to the indescribable essence of our being.

Simplicity and allowance are keys for inner transformation. 
There is nothing to fix in any of us. 

Our true nature is eternally peaceful and loving.
Being embraced by that.
Being that embrace.
Is what I wish for all of us.
/ Ludvig Cimbrelius

Eden

A piece of music can become a portal leading to greater awareness of the love that is the foundation of our existence. 
Simplicity and allowance are keys for inner transformation. 
Relaxing into the emotions evoked, one can discover new rooms and hidden treasures inside. 
There is nothing to fix in any of us. 
Just a discovery of what is there at our core. 
Our true nature is eternally peaceful and loving. 
Being embraced by that. 
Being that embrace. 
Is what I wish for all of us.

Ambient Sessions # 25 - Jacob Newman

We are very happy to share our 10th Unrush journey created by Swedish Ludvig Cimbrelius otherwise known as Eternell. He has a bunch of releases under various names such as Purl and Alveol on labels like Silent Season, Noisy Meditation and his own imprint Eternell. Lean back and enjoy this one hour journey through very soulfull listening material and some words dedicated to his mix...

Feeling good right now is what it is all about. 

Being aware of the love you are surrounded by in this moment. In every moment. Loved whether you are aware of it or not. Unconditionally.

Be aware of that love.

Any way you get there is fine. It's better to use music than drugs.

In the end, that is really just the beginning, you realize that you don't need anything to get you there, because it is who you are. 

You were born happy.

Every morning when you wake up, no matter what is going on in your life, there is a brief moment before you pick up all the thought patterns from yesterday, a brief moment of bliss. 

Catch it.

01 - Skyrim Atmospheres

ASIP021 - http://soundcloud.com/sage-taylor

We’ve all stared into the abyss at some point in our lives - whether it’s figuratively in pondering life’s bigger questions, or literally, teetering on the precipice, peering over into gravity’s dead space - it typically provides a fresh perspective and a vast reminder of our place in the world. They’re some of the thoughts Sage Taylor considers as he stares out across Columbia River Gorge, absorbing the stars and size before him.

“When you're from a city like I am, you're immediately struck by the vastness of the place but at the same time, the view is so picturesque it seems almost unreal,” he muses.

‘Vantage Points’ captures that quiet contemplation and doesn’t just emanate tranquillity; it breathes it, exhaling with every whip of the night breeze and distant gurgle of the water below. There’s also a sense of relief and release, the stresses of a city life melting into the expanse, eased by the serenity but energised by the scale of the thoughts and things bigger than our own comprehension.

 “This song is an amalgamation of how I feel when I'm standing on the balcony of a viewpoint along the Columbia River Highway, absorbing the huge, sparse-yet-beautiful spectacle first-hand. The feeling is twice as intense at night and when the sky is clear, it's sort of a reminder just how small I am every time I do it.”

'ASTRAL PLANE' // Calming Ambient Sleep Music

One of my favourites from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim!

Enjoy! :D

Skyrim OST - Secunda

*FULL PREVIEW*. When Uncharted Places was conceived, the one remix that came to my mind as an ideal beginning, was from the very first Places Series release by Kit. 'Girl Walking on the Beach Wearing A Skirt' was probably my favourite from Kit's release, and it's long, drawn out guitar plucks and subtle field recordings reflected a Markus Guentner remix playground. Markus obliged and as expected, delivered another out-of-this-world production.
