Beautiful quiet music, like sitting in the shade of a tree on on a slow, hot afternoon.

Handstitched* is thrilled to announce the next installment of the split-artist series, Ian Hawgood and Fields We Found feature alongside each other for an outing of outstanding musical composure and tranquility. 

Ian's music needs little introduction, with many releases and collaborations under his belt on numerous well-known labels - to say he's prolific is pretty close to the mark. Ian also curates the wonderful Home Normal label, here in the UK. "upward eyes" is seriene, slow-moving and hauntingly subtle, prolonged space fills the moments we frequently overlook and leaves time for reflection during a quiet time spent in an open space. We are honoured to have his debut EP "upward eyes" featuring on Handstitched*. 

Fields We Found has just released his outstanding album "Distance" on the lovely Seil Records, which has been on constant rotation here at Handstitched* over the past month - and the new EP "kindred" is equally as moving, graceful and bewitching. The equilibrium and expression within "kindred" is harmonious - and at the same time, quietly sonorous.

Fields We Found and Ian Hawgood are both welcomed to Handstitched* with many thanks and admiration for their respective musical works as part of the split-artist series, it's great to have them visiting Handstitched* for this special release.

Limited to 50 copies. Released on mini CD-r and sage green cassette with hand-made packaging, tape O-cards and unique designs for each CD package. [HS45/45T]. 

Released August 12.

i wrote ‘half dreaming’ last month when heavy rains came to southern california. 

this one-off single is a bit of a new hushed direction for me—using only tiny swells of my voice, osmose synth & field recordings. life feels extra fragile & precious lately and i hope listening (with headphones on) inspires you to take rest, and drift.

I would like to start this year with this album.

I have been making music alone for almost 20 years now. I would like to thank everyone who has ever purchased or listened to my music, my subscribers, my collaborators, everyone who has criticized as well as praised me, the equipment and electricity I have used to make music, my room, my time, my friends, my family, everything. Thank you so much.

As a token of my appreciation, I would like to release this album for free. Please enjoy it.

I have only one request. For once, for about 40 minutes listening to this album, please do nothing and think about nothing and just be in a daze. We are too busy. We need time to intentionally give our heads and hearts a rest. Once you get into that habit, you will inevitably feel yourself becoming energized again.

I wish you all a very happy new year.

401. Sleepy Sunday Podcast (Elm Records)

An ambient journey into harps, moods, chords and beyond

Arpchaeopteryx

Gentle textural soundscapes trace the quiet shift in season, evoking warmth, stillness, and the beauty of impermanence. A sonic reflection on the passage of time, memory, and the subtle charm of change.

Christoph Vogel (Ghostloop) about his album: “It’s a collection of nine ambient pieces — soundscapes shaped by personal moments and quiet shifts I experienced over the past year, many of them spent in nature.

I worked with field recordings I captured during that time, letting them carry traces of place and memory. While writing, I also began building my Eurorack modular system, slowly integrating its sounds into the tracks as they took shape.

'Almost Autumn' reflects a quiet cycle of the year — the slow transitions, inner stillness, and changing atmosphere that come with time passing”.

Christoph Vogel, known as Ghostloop (Germany), weaves immersive soundscapes shaped by the serene rhythms of nature. Drawing from the ambient textures of field recordings and grounding them with deep, fluid basslines, his compositions echo the quiet moods of Northern Germany and the Baltic Sea coast. Rooted in a deep sense of place, Ghostloop’s music invites listeners to pause, drift, and sink into gentle, emotive layers of sound.
