We’re happy to announce the welcoming of Heather Woods Broderick to our roster with her new album Domes. The album will be released on May 13th 2022 on vinyl, tape and digital. After having released solo albums on Western Vinyl and Preservation, Domes presents the first entirely instrumental work of the California based multi-instrumentalist.

Domes is a collection of meditative pieces based around the cello. While not being her primary instrument, the cello holds a very special place for the artist. Throughout the past 2 years, Heather often felt the need to find moments of respite in response to the chaotic and turbulent times we all faced in that period. Her days started or ended with the cello. A single melody initiated a process in which new elements were gradually added to the initial loop until the sounds filled her up. This process and the instrumental nature of these pieces opened the path for self-reflection and enabled her to express emotions outside the world of words or lyrics:
 
“The cyclical nature of the loop combined with the sound feeling like it’s surrounding me feels serene and safe. My hope is that listeners experience this as well.” - Heather Woods Broderick
 
Domes is a documentation of that period and offers 7 pieces which to the artist feels like dense masses – strong grounding sounds that can hold weight or be used to disperse weight - in an emotional sense. The album title, Domes, reflects this idea as domes are made out of triangles – the strongest shapes in the physical world. Coincidentally, there are 7 different triangles. As such, the pieces on Domes each reflect a different triangle, a different strongest shape which offers the listener a solid basis to find rest and calmness.

A Love Letter to Water is the instrumental debut EP by Colombian-born, Los Angeles based therapist and musician Alicia Ramírez, aka Inkarose.

Four sonic poems are dedicated to the Spirit of Water – its circular, shape-shifting motion spans from River and Ocean to Clouds and Rain, and then returns to River. This record explores the curative properties of Water; a precious inhale and exhale, the mantra and pranayama of the Forest. Woven with love, these tracks feature special field recordings from various natural environments, including the Tayrona Jungle in Santa Marta, the rainforest in Kauai, and surrounding soundscapes of Los Angeles and Bogotá.

This voyage of sound is graced by the loving touch and musical contributions of dear friends and loved ones, including Carlos Niño (percussion), Rumi Inoue (Alto and Soprano Flutes), Matt Little (Keys), Yeuda Ben-Atar (Flute Synth), and Ian Roller (Alto Sax).

A Love Letter to Water is a love letter to the Self.

Inkarose - Cloud Waltz (with Yeuda Ben-Atar [Flute Synth] and Carlos Niño [Percussion])

Melodies in the Garden

Sachi Kobayashi - Nurture

'Radio Silence' is an Ambient drone Act known for their ethereal soundscapes and atmospheric melodies. Their studio compositions are characterized by the use of drones, delays, and reverb to create a dreamlike sound that is both soothing and mesmerizing.

Their Neo-Classical Sound, has been a perfect accompaniment to TV & Film, with the name being inspired by the idea of shutting off the noise of the world and focusing on one's own thoughts and emotions.

Frond slows down time with his music. You could describe it as cinematic, as ambient or as modern composition, but like many contemporary artists working in these areas it’s music for deep listening - music to make space for. Memories and nostalgia are just as much source material as visions of the future. Using an ensemble of live instruments, field recordings and custom synths Frond effortlessly drifts from the abstract to the heartfelt and back again. 

For fans of Nils Frahm, Fennez, Grouper, Tim Hecker, Julianna Barwick, Simon Scott and Harold Budd.
