“Tension” is the first release produced by Holzmund-resident Ampheep. This project is built upon sounds originating from a recording session back in 2013, together with Jaime McGill improvising on her bass clarinet. The wooden instrument connected to sound effects, Jaime created percussive impulses and melodic elements. Ampheep provided an immersive environment of artificial drones, vibrating with a seductive acoustic feel. The tone of the whole session was inspired by the warm autumn light in the studio right by the river Spree.

The two ambient tracks share a rich background of constantly moving textures, as well as simple harmonic and rhythmic elements sneeking into the main focus of the listener. “Session One” comes with a surprising second half, drifting into an almost ritualistic pattern. The epic “Session Two” works a more elaborate theme, carefully groping for several evolving variations.

The release can be downloaded for free/ donation from our Bandcamp-page (Buy-Link), or from the Internet Archive (soon), and you are welcome to use it under a Creative Commons license (Attribution-ShareAlike).

[Holz001] Ampheep - Tension 1&2 (feat. Jaime McGill)

We are happy to present the second release of our netlabel: "Bong//NN#0" is the debut of Holzmund - resident Beb.Welten. Its production was strictly based on hardware only, no DAW involved here. The two tracks are available as digital downloads, or as regular CD with printed paper slipcase.

The first track, "Bong“ actually came into existence around a decade ago, in the tough and crowded city of Rotterdam. It transports the escapist longing for space and horizon, translated into a calm and steady musical structure. Years later this first draft was unpacked in Berlin and developed into its final shape, minimalistic with extended timing and shifting rhythmic accents.

Based on a straight percussive rhythm, and a subtle background hum, „Bong“ soon gets contrasted with eighth note drumming patterns and delay variations. The arrangement resonates with an almost neurotic tension, confusing the listeners expectations, and slowly finding its way back to the basic tranquillity.

The second track, "NN#0“ is shorter and somewhat richer in sound: A simple bass line moves somewhere far away in the back, serving as rhythmic foundation. The whole piece is characterized by dubbed, delayed and overdubbed leads, evolving in careful variations. Kept in a friendly and warm tone, with a rustling, cracking and grinding feel: Ambient soundscape by Beb.Welten is paramount.

All music can be downloaded for free/ donation, or bought as CD on our Bandcamp-page, and you are welcome to use it under a Creative Commons license (Attribution-ShareAlike).
