From the album: Ludvig Cimbrelius - Love Letters From The Sky

Sound In Silence is happy to announce the return of Ludvig Cimbrelius, presenting his new album Love Letters From The Sky.

This is his third release on the label after the two highly acclaimed albums, Still Light in 2018 and Imagined Distances in 2020, under his Eternell project.

Ludvig Cimbrelius is a Swedish musician who for over a decade has been producing his wonderful music, ranging from ambient and modern classical to deep electronic and minimal dub techno, under his own name and many different aliases such as Eternell, Purl, Illuvia and others. His music has been released on many labels, including Silent Season, Dewtone Recordings, Archives, A Strangely Isolated Place, Sound In Silence, Databloem, Stereoscenic Records and many others, as well as his own labels Eternell and LILA लीला.

Love Letters From The Sky consists of eight compositions of calm piano meditations resting on distant ambience, with a total duration of about 55 minutes. For all his piano focused releases Cimbrelius tends to use his own name instead of any other alias and the same applies here. The album is the result of some love letters he received and translated to melodies during the past 4 years, creating a smooth and immersive aural experience, based on piano recordings, made both in Sweden as well as on a very old piano up in the mountains of Georgia last autumn, airy synth textures and delicate guitar swells.
Love Letters From The Sky is an atmospheric piano album of ethereal ambient, exquisitely mastered by George Mastrokostas (aka Absent Without Leave), which matches perfectly the warm light of early autumn.

This is a limited edition of 200 handmade and hand-numbered collectible copies. It is packaged in a lovely hand-stamped 127mm x 127mm 250 gsm olive green recycled cardboard envelope with the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper and an insert sheet containing tracklist and information printed on a 120 gsm off-white recycled cardboard. It also comes bundled with a download code coupon and a Sound In Silence card.

Arnalds: For Now I Am Winter, Only The Winds

Silence is the mist that hovers over the dawn,
The space between the petals that gives the flower its worth.
The canvas on which our thoughts find their space.

Offthesky - Ripples Into Empathy

“I could hear everything, together with the hum of my hotel neon. I never felt sadder in my life.” - Jack Kerouac, “On the Road” (1957)

In chapter 13 of Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road,” we find Sal in a Los Angeles hotel room with his new girlfriend, Terry, soon after they’ve decided to hitchhike back to New York with the $10 they share between them. Staring out the window in a sleepless fit, Sal observes a domestic dispute across the street: the humming neon sign of the hotel is an audible element amidst the police’s questioning, family’s sobbing, and city’s howling sirens, all of them blending together in an oddly poignant moment. 

This idea of sound adding context and emotion to human experiences is the foundation of Hotel Neon. The project formed in 2012 under far less desperate conditions than Sal’s, but it has always been anchored in the practice of recording musical responses to the current moment. The chord progression of “A Lament,” for instance, was recorded in the hours following the breaking news out of Sandy Hook on December 14, 2012. Ever since then, we have continued to create soundtracks for specific settings and situations in our lives.

“Hotel Neon 10: Reworks” is a reflection on the 10th anniversary of our debut self-titled album, which was released on July 30, 2013 in a batch of 100 cassettes. Initially a loose collection of minimal drone experiments with no intention for follow-up after the tapes ran out, Hotel Neon has morphed into the central musical identity for each of us, leading to friendships, experiences, and purpose that we could never have imagined at the time.

This is not simply a remaster or remix; HN10 has been entirely reworked from the ground up. You will notice that some of the essential elements and structures from the original songs come through, but we made a concerted effort to build on those early ideas and present a new album with our current tools, techniques, and experience.

We deeply appreciate your support, and thank you for listening.

Says

'Everything Ascending’ sees Snow Palms newly re-minted as a duo, with mainstay David Sheppard’s signature glinting electronics and crystalline glockenspiels augmented by the modular synths, tapes, piano and production skills of Matt Gooderson, alongside vigorous, rhythmic clarinets and soaring vocal flights. Over ten minutes in length, the piece oscillates seamlessly between passages of mesmeric electronic pulse, choral-enhanced minimalism and immersive, gamelan-like ambience and precedes more new music later in the year.

Snow Palms - Everything Ascending

a reissue of American pianist Dustin O'Halloran's "Piano Solos" (2004) and "Piano Solos vol.2" (2006)

Dustin O'Halloran - Opus 23

Four years after his last release as Hauschka, composer Volker Bertelmann returns to City Slang for his new effort “PHILANTHROPY”. While touching on the work of musical innovators, such as Erik Satie and John Cage, Hauschka reimagines the potential of the prepared piano for the 21st century, a technique that involves inserting objects between the instrument’s strings or onto its hammers to expand its sonic and operative possibilities.

I have been studying music in Barcelona since I was six, specializing in piano. Beginning with my dealings with the world of amateur theater, especially of the musical variety, and given my performances as a pianist in recitals, concerts, and musical theater, the need to compose and arrange music arose. Little by little my passion took shape and gained importance in my life. In 2011 I composed some songs for the soundtrack of the Gayxample web series. The internet gives me the opportunity to feel free, inspired and stimulated to compose new works which come from my intuition as I keep integrating countless music styles that are part of my artistic and musical background. 
Estudio musica desde mi infancia en Barcelona, especializandome en piano. A partir de mi contacto con el mundo del teatro amateur, especialmente musical, y con mis interpretaciones como pianista en recitales, conciertos y teatro musical, surgio la necesidad de componer y arreglar musica. Poco a poco mi pasion por la musica ha ido tomando forma e importancia. En 2011 compuse algunos temas para la banda sonora de la serie web Gayxample. Internet me ofrece la oportunidad de sentirme libre, inspirado y estimulado a componer nuevos temas que surgen de la intuicion y de la asimilacion de un sinfin de estilos musicales que forman parte de mi bagaje musical y artistico.
