idyll

marine eyes - roses all alone

Pensieri sparsi

On a dreamy mood - L'eco di un sogno

Creating his pieces primarily from field recordings and guitar loops, the Montreal native Francis Tremblay utilizes the banalities of everyday life and his city’s landscape as inspiration for his music.

Giraffe Tapes - Grandbruit [Monthly Show] [22.05.2021]

Agape out NOW! Available on green/white vinyl and digital download from: azurevistarecords.bandcamp.com

Info: 

"On Agape, pioneers of slow-evolving minimal drone, zakè (a.k.a. Zach Frizzel) and City of Dawn (a.k.a. Damien Duque) transform unadorned inputs into beautiful complexity. The drone duo, based in Texas and Indiana respectively, is known for their carefully crafted textures, avoiding sudden shifts or abrasive sororities. Their focus offer up the steady ebb and flow of sound, cultivating a profound sense of meditative stasis and explorations of high-fidelity sound. 

These six extended pieces are organic and minimalist in nature, but has an ethereal, mirage-like quality to them. Somber, yet incredibly uplifting. Agape is the kind of ambient record that refuses to be reduced to mere background music – the harmonic foundation and the details of the soundscapes are too compelling for that. Frizzell and Duque manage to expand rather simple sonic ingredients into weightless ambient perfection."

Zakè & City Of Dawn - "Once Forgotten"

No Moon's long standing partnership with Craigie Knowes takes its next logical step as Fred Shepherd reveals his debut album Spins, Parities & Multipolarities. The 6-track ambient outing highlights the melodic and melancholic aspects of No Moon's previous works, but this time is distilled into a peaceful and coherent audio experience as opposed to the artist's more widely recognised club-focused sensibilities.

One for the listeners, headphones on and breathe.

Spins, Parities & Multipolarities

PREMIERE: No Moon - Simpler Times [Craigie Knowes]

Glass structures have been slowly spinning in the wind, suspended in time, floating mid-air. Each revolution results in evolution – a pattern changes ever so slightly, creating another layer in an intricate geometrical shape. 
Environmental greenery reflects in mirror panels for all but a split second giving you a gulp of piquant, fresh taste of now. Repetition and visual sensation turn into sound and music written in Primal Code.

@primalcodemusic – Davide Perrone and Gabriele Giuggioli jumped straight into the deep techno scene with their appearance on @hypnus.
By lacing their unique fusion of modern electronic music with field recordings, dreams of ancient mysteries vibrate in the air. In the last period, influenced by the UK style, their sound evolved, concretizing in the new pivotal record on @kalaharioystercult. To them, music is the primordial code that unlocks the doors inside, leading us into the realms of imagination.

First track off the new Billow Observatory album, "III: Chroma/Contour", on CD/LP/digital on February 8th! Preorder from: https://azurevistarecords.bandcamp.com/merch

Info:

"III: Chroma/Contour is the third album from Billow Observatory, the collaborative project of Danish producer Jonas Munk (Manual, Ulrich Schnauss collaborator and more) and Michigan native Jason Kolb (Auburn Lull). The album's nine tracks eschew the pulse and rhythm that defined the duo's previous effort (II: Plains/Patterns) in favor of sparse melodic possibilities and a more abstract palette of sounds. Chroma/Contour suggests looking both 20 years forward and twenty years back, while forgetting the present altogether. 

Much of the album plays out as a study in minimalism: the texture and colour of each sound is being explored in miniscule detail, with enough space in the soundfield to allow each sonic constituent to breathe fully. There's a conceptual dimension to several tracks on the album, with guitars, analog synths and voices being mangled by samplers, computer software and a broken dictaphone into pure abstraction. But simultaneously there's a melodic undercurrent, revealing a deeply emotional aspect of the music. Tracks such as Color In The Six, Iris and Soft Logic convey a melancholic sense of awe, a profoundly calming glimpse of the sublime."

As with the best ambient music, the power of these nine pieces lies in their open-endedness and suggestive potential. Rather than imposing on the listener and presenting a flawless, fullyformed aural landscape, the music creates an evocative space for the listener to explore and expand in.

Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea: "Liberamente" out on Azure Vista Records on October 16! Available on CD/LP/download. Preorder from azurevistarecords.bandcamp.com

Info:

"Second album from American trio Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea, consisting of zakè, Marc Ertel and Damien Duque. Together they're creating soft-textured and slowly unfolding sonic landscapes, somewhere between guitar-oriented drone music and modern classical. Liberamente is the kind of album that demands attention and patience from the listener, yet it's ultimately a very rewarding one. 

Stylistically Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea sums up several decades of American soundscape and drone music, taking threads from Windy & Carl, Auburn Lull, and Stars of the Lid then weaves them into a contemporary, and sonically adventurous whole. On the surface it suggests simplicity, but dig deeper and the seven pieces on Liberamente reveals a rare compositional dexterity. This is minimalism at its finest."

MELOS is a reminiscence of the archaic roots of sound art - produced with analog modular systems. 
The individual recordings with a length of up to eleven minutes are shortened excerpts from potentially unlimited variations of sound and silence, driven by a generative modular concept.
