This needs to be in film scene worthy of its power

Teaser clip from the half hour long piece "Myrskymielellä", adapted from a 1891 poem by the Finnish national poet, Eino Leino, taken from the upcoming self-titled album by new project "All That We See or Seem". LTD LP + Digital coming end of October 2022.

"Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?" This quote from a poem by Edgar Allan Poe sums up the lamenting, primal work that is "All That We See or Seem"; a project conceived between Finland, England and Brazil. The self-titled album consists of two long-form pieces of droning mysticism hailing from the trio of Gruth (concept, production, electronics), Ellen Southern (vocals, field recordings, percussion) and Johanna Puuperä (violin, modular synthesizer, additional vocals).

Line notes by Tim Humphrey:
Krystian Shek's newest full-length album 'Suddenly', is an opus that is as futuristic as it is celestial and tribal. Sweeping melodies rise and soar while rhythms resonate heavily through meaningful and moving chords. It explores spacious atmospheres with brief field recordings and dub laden beats that support a very airy and flighty sounds of rapturous melodies and spiritual offerings. Showcasing seven pieces of futuristic themes, 'Suddenly' these exudes a deft touch with processed production where layers are too many to be counted while remnants of rhythm show themselves more after multiple listens. 
 
Krystian Shek has been releasing music for almost 30 years now and you can find a cornicopia of various styles and genres under his name which shows off his versatility. 'Suddenly', features a few of the genre's he is most known for the past decade in ambient and dub. But again, he finds inspiration in a multitude of other subgenres such as drone, soundtrack, field recording and dub techno. Released on the fantastic Italian label Rohs! Records, this album is sure to stir up an emotional response from everyone who hears it.
 
'Sunday Morning' opens up the album with and not only set's the mood but introduces you to the space within. Peaceful water ambience which quickly fades after the first chord wash. This track is drenched in dub and melodic elements which crystalize and reverberate throughout the sound spectrum. A euphoric feeling elevates as the track expands into an airy atmosphere of gentle calmness.
The title track 'Suddenly', harkens back to Krystian's trance background with a blissful buildup up and break that sounds like one part Oliver Lieb and one part Wolfgang Voigt. Mesmerizing and groundbreaking, this dub expose is sure to grab people's attention. A unique and successful union not just only of styles but of energy, direction and what is possible breaking through any dub parameters. And if that rack didn't push the boundaries enough for you, then '[Dub]ai' surely will. What starts off with dialogue in the airport with gate flight announcement recordings soon dumps you into an amazing boundless stratosphere with a wicked beat. It doesn't end there as angelic voices echo out to an amazing peak. Truely, a shimmering work by Krystian. One of those early picks for best track on the album from those who have heard the early sessions. 'Probably' builds off that momentum with another heavy and menacing dub bassline that feature some far reaching chords and soaring melody off in the distance. 'Among Them' is a cinematic opera into the future which certainly culls Vangelis-type vibes ala Blade Runner. Coming in at over 9 minutes in length, this epic piece is the backbone of the album's overall feel. A soaring piece of space music that is as moving as it is triumphant. 'Here for you' is perhaps the most moving piece on the album and it is sheer goosebump material. An amazing soundtrack for a post-apocalyptic world who regrets human kind's decisions. A tear jerking and emotional piece that wins over your heart and your ears. Lastly, 'Remained' is a gentle outro
that encapsulates the overall mood of the album. Powerful, visual, imaginative and dynamic. To just categorize this as an ambient or dub album would truly be an understatement. A sonic exploration into dub with a sci-fi storyline might be a bit more accurate description but even that short changes it.
'Suddenly' is a remarkable and life-changing listen. Available on CD and digital with cover artwork featuring an image of the exclusive for this release oil on canvas painting by Brenda Rodriguez.

Just yesterday I shared the news of a recently released album by Sinemis (that's Sine Buyuka) who is the founder of Injazero Records. And today I'm happy to follow up that announcement with a sequel release to the acclaimed Volutes (2020) by Snowdrops, which is a French-based chamber duo of Christine Ott and Mathieu Gabry. For this follow-up, they are joined by violist Anne-Irène Kempf, who also appears on this seventh and last piece on the album, which I am premiering for you today. Here, the piano, played by Ott, and the Rhodes in the hands of Gabry, create a soft fabric of acoustic harmonies that lift up the veil with strings and lush pads. It's a gentle track, which slowly evolves into an ever-expanding space where it disperses into the ether. "The piece develops a lot around repetitive but evolving motifs played by all three," says Gabry of music on "Mémoires Élementaires". "We are more and more distant from each other, but still connected. The viola played by Anne-irene takes the lead, and the Rhodes dissolves into a deep magma. The phrases slow down, and the reverberated space becomes larger." Perhaps the most cinematic out of the seven tracks on the album, the piece beautifully concludes this sonic painting which is a crossover genre, somewhere between modern classical, post-folk, and electro-acoustic music.

Shaded Explorer - Distant Connections [SSCD19]

This my version of Fovea Hex's piece "All Those Signs" released on 21 June 2017. I was particularly inspired by the original song and was very pleased to contribute to this release.

This remix is contained on the Bonus Cd only which can be found here:

The Salt Garden II

FOVEA HEX - We Dream All The Dark Away (Abul Mogard Remix)

‘And We Are Passing Through Silently’ is the sublime first survey of reworks by cult synthesist, Abul Mogard. 

Rounding up divine renderings of songs by Aïsha Devi, Penelope Trappes (The Golden Filter) and nick nicely (heralded by luminaries of the US underground Ariel Pink & John Maus), the album culminates with Brian Eno’s collaboration with Irish avant-folk band Fovea Hex. 

Also included is Abul’s brand new rework of Becoming Animal’s ‘The Sky Is Ever Falling’ which you can hear here, starring vocals from Cinder (This Mortal Coil/Cindytalk) and Massimo Pupillo on bass (Zu/Thurston Moore/Stephen O' Malley), exclusive to the 2LP, CD and digital release. Houndstooth have long been admirers of Abul Mogard’s beautifully stately, romantic melancholia for the best part of this decade. 

By most measures, Abul Mogard and his music are among electronic music’s most perplexing and revered quantities. Abul emerged in 2012 with an eponymous (and now sought after) cassette release for Steve Moore’s VCO. 

Unfurling Aïsha Devi into acres of imaginary space with ‘O.M.A.’ and transforming Penelope Trappes’ ‘Carry Me’ into a 12 minute organ meditation, Abul amplifies the emotions of each song while only making them feel more elusive in the process. It’s an approach which yields stunning results in the widescreen reframing of Cinder on ‘The Sky Is ever Falling’, and in his breathtaking, slow-mo explosion of Brian Eno’s Choral vocals for Fovea Hex, while the bruised soul and lysergic greys of his nick nicely rework, beautifully demonstrates the heart-wrenching grasp of harmonic distortion that everyone craves in Abul’s work. 

Leading on from Abul Mogard’s ‘Above All Dreams’ album in 2018 for Not Waving’s Ecstatic, and following veiled live appearances across Europe, ‘And We Are Passing Through Silently’ offers another tantalising window onto one of modern synth music’s rarest spirits.
