VA: Psybient [2022] 3

VA: Dreamscapes 3

Three Spheres, Kodomo’s 4th full length album emerges out of the isolation of 2020, hitting an emotional space more potent than his previous work. 

Collaborators include Clarinetist and Saxophonist Chet Doxas, Puremagnetik software/sound designer Micah Frank, and guitarist Philipp Eltz.  

Working primarily out of his studio in Portland Maine, Child worked out his initial ideas on his piano while making heavy use of his modular system to create the drones, textures and nuanced beats which are dominant throughout the album.  The washed out shoe gazed synths, frenetic IDM beats, electro bass, and the production details are tinted with a fragility conveying themes of isolation, struggle, and perseverance.

Feel your way into the present moment through a variety of ways. You may prefer to bring your attention to the feeling of your breath, recognizing that it exists within a body but that it is not of this body. Observe that you may feel as though you are above your breath, seated somewhere behind your face and inside your head. Alas, you’ve uncovered your first illusion, for you are not there because you are not you. The you you are experiencing is just a pattern of energy manifesting within consciousness - and therein lies your true essence, consciousness. You are the open space that recognizes your body, your breath, your thoughts. Do not mistake yourself for the flowing stream of thought rushing through the ocean of your mind. Be gentle with yourself, for you will forget. And when you do, remind yourself that you are here in the eternal now. You are within this present moment that is unfolding.

“Unfolding” is the third release from Six Missing on Inner Ocean Records.

TJ Dumser [Six Missing] - synthesizers, guitars, effects, mix + mastering engineer
Zac Colwell - pianos, flutes, voices, additional mix engineer.
 
Recorded and mixed in separate locations over the course of nine consecutive days during the winter. 

The musicians recommend you place headphones on and listen while in a darkened and quiet room, though wherever you most prefer to listen is the best location. Closing your eyes may result in occasional inner mind journeying, this is intentional.

Inner Ocean Records is a platform and collective for emerging artists to release music and visual art. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the label was conceptualized in 2012 as a vehicle for artists to have their music heard and seen, to build a community of passionate people.  We designed the label to be what we would have loved to have as artists ourselves, redefining the rules in an ebb and flow to the changing landscape of music. We have made a conscious commitment to be transparent, adaptable and always for the people.

We are a label for artists, by artists. 

We’ve built the backbone of this label around great sound and feeling; laid back, honest and forever chill. We have released a lot of different sounds; Ambient, Lofi Hip Hop, RnB, Modern Funk, Future Soul and Indie. Since our inception, we have prioritized natural evolution and organic growth in the music – we value the process and accept change.  Expect the unexpected; we want to delightfully surprise you;)
