This is the seventh track in a collection of music called: Earth Room. Created for thoughtful reflection, these songs blend meditative music with field recordings from around the world. The concept of Earth Room was inspired by Danny Boyle's 1999 film Sunshine.

Euan Alexander Millar-McMeeken is a Scottish composer originally from Dundee and now living on the south coast of England. Euan began composing in the late 2000s, but it was in 2010 after the dissolution of his band, that his solo work as Glacis took shape. Left with just his piano, this became an outlet for creativity during a period of solitude. Over the years, his music has been released by labels such as Fluid Audio, Oscarson and Lost Tribe Sound, and he’s also built a reputation as a prolific collaborator with projects including Gallowglas, Civic Hall (alongside Craig Tattersall) and The Dead Bell (with The Green Kingdom), as well as work with artists including Satomimagae, Gavin Miller and Adrian Lane. Euan has become a familiar figure with Whitelabrecs over the years.

Polaroid Notes is the work of a German artist called Andreas, who is based in the countryside between Munich and the Alps. Initially known for his Ambient dub electronic work as Kraut Sounds, Andreas began Polaroid Notes over a decade ago as a contemporary classical side project. In recent years, this has become his primary project and perhaps the pseudonym that he’s best known as. His music has appeared on labels including Driftworks, Büro für Erdrotation, Weber & Alcantu, Licht-ung and his own Drone Works International imprint. He has released five solo albums with Whitelabrecs, as well as releases on Whitelabrecs’ predecessors Tessellate Recordings and Audio Gourmet.

Both of these artists are regulars on Whitelabrecs and to our fans and followers, these artists will need no introduction. Euan and Andreas first connected around the release of Cloud Anthems, though they’d admired each other’s work for much longer. Since then, their friendship has grown through conversations about music, life and family. In autumn 2022, they began exchanging ideas and sound fragments, a process that unfolded naturally over the next two years. Both artists’ work is rooted in the piano, but this album reaches beyond, blending modern classical composition with experimental textures, shifting from light-filled passages to shadowy tones; from deep melancholy to moments of sublime beauty.

This album which is called ‘Time Is Coming To An End’ was created without a strict concept. It was born out of a simple shared sense of curiosity and the joy of surprising each other through sound. Work began in the winter of 2022, with long pauses and returns when the time felt right. The result is an evocative, layered collection of pieces, greater than the sum of its parts.

Earlier this year, the pair offered a glimpse of their collaboration with the 5-track EP Reflections, self-released for Piano Day. Now, ‘Time Is Coming To An End’ reveals the full scope of their Scottish-Bavarian partnership in all its depth and detail, tied together with the evocative title and its striking artwork concept of Meike Pfitzner.

Mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.

Aethervault is a word born from two ancient roots:

Aether — the unseen essence once believed to fill the heavens; the breath between worlds, where forgotten gods whisper and lost souls drift.

Vault — a sealed chamber, a prison, a treasury of forbidden knowledge.

Together, they form a concept haunted by duality:

Aethervault — the sealed chamber where the unseen is kept.

It is not merely a structure, but a threshold, a containment, a sanctuary for truths too dangerous to breathe open air.

They built it deep within the forest, where the mist never lifts and sunlight dies before touching the ground. The Aethervault— that was the name whispered in the forbidden archives. No records of its construction exist, only fragments of symbols burned into parchment and warnings written in languages long forgotten.

The structure was not meant for worship, nor for study. It was containment. Within its stone heart, the architects of the Veiled Order sought to bind what they could not destroy — a consciousness vast and ancient, a fragment of something that predated human thought.

Those who served within the Gate did not call themselves scientists or priests. They were intermediaries, recording phenomena they could never understand, their writings slowly warping into prayer. When the experiments ceased, the Gate was sealed, its halls lined with sigils that bled rust and memory.

Now, centuries later, the door glows faintly again — a dim, amber pulse beneath the vines and decay. The forest breathes around it, patient and listening, as if waiting for the inevitable return of what once was bound.

The Void Remembers.

New Sincerity rejects postmodern irony, detachment, and cynicism, instead pursuing direct expression, vulnerability, and emotional resonance. This concept embodies a return to seriously and openly exploring one's emotions and the fundamental nature of things, without unnecessary, contrived meanings.

Longing for Radha

Ich erschaffe Klangwelten, Sehr dunkele Klangwelten Gedankenwelten so wie Ambient Welten. Habe mir alles selber beigebracht. Notenlesen Hab ich nie Gelernt. Lebe in meiner Gedankenwelt. Meine Klangwelt erstelle ich nur nach Gehör. Es Freud mich wenn ihr meine Klangwelt Hört.
