SIDE A 

Subtle collages of grainy loops from archived records of the beginning of the last century with found sounds and cuts from vintage movie scenes. It uses super-compression and overload to build emotional stream during sensual immersion. 

produced by Cape Willoughby Road (Evgeny Vrublevski) - artist and musician based in Minsk, Belarus. 

SIDE B 

Contemplative experience manifested through distant and soft melodies. The consoling analog sound achieved by tape processing of cassette-loops, synthesizers and instruments singing in a huge virtual sensory landscape. 

produced by Blear Moon (Vlas) - musician and visual artist originated from Urals of Russia, now based in Czech Republic.

◤
the tracks on this album were recorded in the winter of early 2020. the mood of the album was influenced by various thoughts about the irreversibility of passing time. it´s about the remembrance of former friends you haven´t seen for quite a long time and then you hear of their passing. it´s about the fly on the window which is there and then it isn´t. thoughts floating through your brain like water through the river and where do they go? where is the green meadow you knew years before? you come back and then there is a new flat, a power station or a street to keep the traffic out of the village.

the tracks were recorded with a eurorack modular setup at Oberlin´s home in koblenz, germany, in the early winter of 2020.

Transient

bandcamp

Glacial Anatomy - Anomaly

Glacial Anatomy is dark arctic ambience influenced by the study, research, and exploration of the Arctic/Antarctic zones, polar regions, glaciers, ice sheets, and extraterrestrial regions. Designed for deep listening, this work relies heavily on field recordings, experimental microphones, modular synthesis, and found audio.

Artist location is undisclosed.

Album description:

Transient is an immersive auditory journey of the unexplored frozen landscapes that lie just beyond the buzz and bustle of city life. Right from the opening track “85° 36′ S”, the sound space is ice cold, with textures of electromagnetic static and cryptic radio transmissions sprinkled like dust throughout each composition. Dark pulsating drones and undulating currents of electric hum envelop the listener, guiding them deeper into the experience. The album finishes with the triumphant “Atmosphere Observe” - an anthemic piece with swirling analog synth drones and tenacious percussion, closing with gentle static ~ Dawn H.

Mastered by Lawrence English at Negative Space

Immersive love - Guest Mix 004 (Empath)

Music is like a universal current – myriads of meanings and images pass from the inner life of a person, turning into sound landscapes of the day. Finnish sylvan magic is continuously curls over the present moment, through ancient animistic beliefs and rituals. Despite the technogenic contemporaneity, the hearts of Finnish ancient deities speaks to us today, using modern tools for metamorphosis. After all, for nature, there are no categories of time. Nature - is eternity.

Empath - Gestures Of Transience

Empath - Väet

A treeless plain beyond the northern limits, a desert of winter worlds. 
An eternally frozen land that does not know the waters of the seas and rivers. The tundra is ruled by strong winds, the sounds of the tundra are the rustle of low grasses, the whispering leaves of dwarf willows and birches, quiet conversations of small tiny birds. 
The cautious tread of deer, jumping on the soft paws of arctic foxes, alert ears of hares in the grass, cubs playing on carpets of moss and lichens. 
People do not live in the tundra, they do not build cities, only occasionally a hunter or nomads pass by, but only as guests of the tundra. The tundra is ruled by the winds. 
- Anna Repman 

From author: 
After exhausting and anxious months, our young family settled in exile on the southwestern shores of Turkey. It took some time to mobilize and return to composing. In small steps, I returned to music and completed the project that I started last year. In it I explore methods of working with orchestral recordings arranged into long and soothing compositions.

- this is a journey into the self, after months of dark winter and cold long nights, one dives deep into the self, going through all the moods and feelings, finding hope and joy to live within. Feelings captured in music. And then, the sun starts to appear, a little longer every day, warming up the soul, making the journey less lonely.

Immersive love - Guest Mix 006 (Spherical Aberration)

“Arcana" is a haunting and introspective electronic dark ambient album that takes listeners on a deeply personal journey through the complexities of human emotions. Drawing inspiration from the Fool's journey in Tarot, the album explores the cyclical nature of life and death, and the deep connection between love and the shadow self. The music is infused with hidden messages and subtle nuances that reveal themselves with each repeated listen, allowing love to hide in its textures. With each track, the album takes listeners on a ritualistic journey, delving into the darker aspects of the human psyche and offering a path towards self-discovery and healing. As the album progresses, it builds towards an emotional climax, culminating in a powerful ode to a love that transcends even the endless cycle of death and rebirth.
The track “Hopeful” is made in collaboration with artist and dear friend ASH, who has been by my side supporting my musical and emotional journey. Thank you for that <3

Immersive love is a nostalgic tribute to the times of 2000s and the Netlabel scene. Back then independent musicians and music producers, used the internet to distribute their music without the intention of making a profit. They allowed other artists to use their music for free, which allowed them to express themselves without the constraints of the music industry. This passion for music-making spread to other musicians and listeners, leading to the formation of a network of labels and blogs that formed communities of individuals who created, shared, reviewed, and published the music of independent artists. However, the rise of social media and streaming platforms with algorithmic models led to a decrease in creative freedom and marked the end of this period.
