239. Sleepy Sunday Podcast (Elm Records)

Sometimes it’s not enough to pick out the right chords, to write out the melody, sprinkle the notes. Sometimes it’s not enough to play the right instruments, hire the orchestra, space out the mics. Take a listen to some “fake Spotify artists” and you’ll know that it’s true. It seems that these copycats have all the ingredients, but the dish still tastes lukewarm. That is because their course is lacking the true soul of a master which they’ve poured into each piece. That’s the ingredient not listed on the recipe. Now take a listen to this gorgeous track by a composer and visual art collective from LA named Sanctuary. It seems, oh, so simple, straightforward, and plain, and yet, when you play it, it beams with emotion, dynamically charged and expanded within. It’s ripe with that ‘something’ that Jóhann possessed – and that is the best compliment I can give to any new recommendation. “Crystalline, emotional orchestral and choral elements blend with intriguing foley. Sometimes intimate, sometimes epic, Sanctuary caresses dark themes with intense visual vignettes and haunting, widescreen music, challenging the audience to join them on an inward journey.” Released on Safari Riot, the collective offers up a debut of two EPs, both volumes out tomorrow, December 3rd. This is incredibly beautiful and cinematic, and I can’t wait for you to enjoy the rest of the pieces. But for now, here’s my favorite, titled “In Absolute.”

"In my mind ‘In Absolute’ is a very visual piece. Much like a close-up shot in a film, slowly zooming out to reveal an intricate scene, ‘In Absolute’ embodies the same feeling. A simple idea ever-expanding. It would not have been possible without the brilliant string and woodwind ensembles we recorded in Iceland last summer."

In Absolute

TRACK PREMIERE : Sanctuary - In Absolute

There are only a few artists out there whose aesthetic resonates with my entire being. Jason van Wyk is one of them. And at this point, it almost seems that it doesn't matter which route he goes with his music - I will always be there, absorbing it all. Except, of course, that he manages to go down the same road that I've been on myself. These are richly textured cinematic atmospherics, with gently modulated open-air pads, moving bass, and elemental particles of rhythm and sound. Shuffling grains of lo-fi sonics ebb and flow like night-time waves. Everything appears to be perfectly held together, with just the right amount of reverb and space. And then the piano comes in. Maybe it's just a few notes, but it's enough to tell a story. And I am listening with awe. I've said this before and I'll say it again - perhaps the best compliment I can give to any musician is to say that I wish I'd make such music as them. And if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then let me imitate van Wyk's sound all day long. But all these words aside, here's a piece which I am honoured to premiere. It's called "Undoing" and it's just a glimpse into the Descendants, which I cannot wait to own on white 12". I hope that you agree.

DR-65 : ECOVILLAGE - Arrived

Emil Holmstrom and Peter Wikstrom have been working on different music projects together since 2001, but in 2006 after a long journey around south asia they found some otherworldly inspiration to create The Ecovillage project.

Ecovillage say that the seventh album Arrived has by far been the most mentally challenging one to create, but also the work that could be the most rewarding to date on many levels.

Ecovillage feel that Arrived is the first album they have made that is a personal concept album that tell a certain story for the listener.

There was a hard time finishing up the album with lots of struggle at the end of creating it, but a mini tour in Los Angeles that was filled with tons of consolation, inspiring places and people to help finishing up the album.

Two collaborations from the album
really make a mark. Ludvig Cimbrelius aka Purl, IIuvia, Eternell etc. who also was on the mini tour in LA and Carlos Niño who they met at two occasions and kindly contributed with lots of energy and inspiration for the album. Also Gayle Ellett who is a constant collaborator and almost a third member of the band helped out on many planes.

Ecovillage have released albums on Darla Records, Quince Records, Parallax Sounds, Constellation Tatsu, Nature Bliss and Eilean records

Ecovillage - New Life (feat. Ludvig Cimbrelius)

Well, it's almost the end of this dreadful year, and I've got one more mix for you before I sign off... This one is episode number 290. Can you believe it? Meanwhile, this beautiful selection from noition should get you smooth sailing into the new year. Just look at that amazing tracklist! It's been on rotation in Headphone Commute studios for a week now (vinyl crackle and all), so as you play it, you can imagine that we're sharing this experience together, a better thought than listening alone.

"My mixes regularly have a story. Therefore I have a pool of different topics. When I listen to music I (mostly) sort them into different groups. For example, I selected all music with nature sounds for the last mix I’ve made for Headphone Commute. Some topics grow faster than others. When I have a few matching records I start with the first ideas of mixing. For this current mix, I need more time than usual. It’s very important that you are in the mood for these different topics. In the last year, I wasn’t in the mood for mixing records that I interpreted as church/choir/religious music. But yeah, a few days ago I found this folder and started mixing. Suddenly it was a quick process to finish this project and it feels peaceful. Maybe it was the spirit of the pre-Christmas time. Enjoy the mix and Christmas days. Stay healthy." --noition
