mono no aware (もののあわれ) is the first compilation to be released on PAN, collating unreleased ambient tracks from both new and existing PAN artists.

Featuring Jeff Witscher, Helm, TCF, Yves Tumor, M.E.S.H., Pan Daijing, HVAD, Kareem Lotfy, ADR, Mya Gomez, Sky H1, James K, Oli XL, Bill Kouligas, Flora Yin-Wong, Malibu, and AYYA, the compilation moves through more traditional notions of what is called ’ambient’, to incorporating wider variations that fall under the term.

“Mono no aware”, ‘the pathos of things’, also translates as “an empathy toward things", or "a sensitivity to ephemera”. A term for the awareness of impermanence, or the transience of things. A meditation on mortality and life's transience, ephemerality heightens the appreciation of beauty and sensitivity to their passing. In investigating the passing of time, the boundaries between memory and hallucination become blurred; between fiction and reality. The movement of time transforms into an eternal present.

The album is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, featuring photography by Molly Matalon and design by Bill Kouligas. A limited version of 100 copies will be released as a special art edition in collaboration with Mount Analog for the LA Art Book Fair 2017, before going on general release.

Inhmost - That Feeling (Preview)

Bochum Welt - "Azure"
From: April (22nd April 2017 LP / 5th May 2017 DL)
Record Store Day info: recordstoreday.co.uk

Veteran Italian hardware lover Bochum Welt returns with ‘April’, due on !K7 in transparent blue vinyl as their first ever Record Store Day release in April 2017. ‘April’ is a broad exploration of ambient and downtempo that collects and re-edits a selection of old works as well as offering up brand new music  - and sees the first release on vinyl of all tracks compiled here.

From crunchy beats overlaid with pixelated pads to blissfully organic and spring-like sound tracks via tender piano laced ambient numbers, the music on ‘April’ is never less than beautiful. It can be heavenly yet of this world, but also synthetic and computerised. Together, though, it makes for dynamic and standalone work that is utterly timeless. Expressive and personal throughout, this album is about sound research and melodic sensibility and is as technically awe inspiring as it is purely enjoyable.

‘April’ sees its release on clear blue vinyl on Record Store Day worldwide (22nd April 2017) through !K7, with a full digital release to follow on 5th May.

Bochum Welt - Azure

When label boss Nick Warren first heard Inhmost's 2015 album "Dragbacks on Dockeiler Beach" it became an instant favourite of his. So it was only natural when Nick started his The Soundgarden label for one of his first choices for a release to come from Inhmost.

Inhmost is Simon Huxtable from Aural Imbalance fame. On this release he gives us 3 wonderful chilled compositions filled with ambient bliss. Alongside the originals are 3 hand picked remixes from Anton Dhouran and Oona Dahl, who both deliver remixes of "Dream Oscillator". Dhouran delivers a more breaks-influenced remix, while Swedish-born Oona Dahl takes the track into more of a driving house capacity, with huge layers of gliding synth arpeggios. Lastly, Nitemoves remixes "That Feeling" into a swirling symphony of Electronica.

All in all, another exciting and forward thinking release from a label which continues to push it's boundaries and with many more releases in the pipeline, The Soundgarden is a label to keep a very close eye on.

Nature is like music. It is everywhere and it is animating you to dance.

I created this piece of music for the “NachtnaTour” campaign by NABU. The track contains 36 fieldrecordings (one is still a secret) of native animal species you can hear during the night; from amphibians to birds to mammals. Thank you for sending me your nature recordings.
The narrative song starts with a beautiful sunset at a lake, moving forward into the deep forest and black night until the warming sunrise is waking up the songbirds again.

You can listen the track here and download the high quality .wav file for free on the NABU website: www.NABU.de/Nachtkonzert

Two Thousand And Seventeen

London-born, LA-based Ryan Griffin began @astrangelyisolatedplace a decade ago as a manifestation of his love for collecting and sharing music. The project soon grew into a vinyl label and a community of artists sharing a reverence for a diverse and esoteric range of genres, from ambient to electronica, modern classical to techno. Artists releasing on the label currently include Merrin Karras aka @chymera, Arovane (@arovane-1), Leandro Fresco & Rafael Anton Irisarri (@irisarri), @purl, and @markusguentner.

This atmospheric selection incorporates into A Strangely Isolated Place's signature sound additional elements of the trance and house music genres on which Ryan cut his DJing teeth. An organic approach to selection and mixing ensures a richly layered collage that manages to take some startling turns while remaining effortlessly cohesive throughout.

Anti-Vaxx people have always fascinated us, why would you take the risk and put other people at risk, it just doesn’t make sense, but then many of the belief systems we've run into don't.

This is the final tape for a while, we'll be releasing the odd one in the future for our new Patreon Project and we'll have more details on that next week.

The Black Dog - Conspiracy Tapes 05

Meander scars are geological features formed by the remnants of winding or meandering water channels. They are caused by the varying velocities of current within the river channel.

Lost Tribe Sound's second installment in its 8 album subscription series, 'We Stayed The Path That Fell To Shadow' comes courtesy of friend, musician and talented music writer, Gavin Miller. While his name may not be instantly recognizable to some, Gavin has been creating music for nearly a decade as one half of the sublime electronic ambient duo, Worriedaboutsatan, and has quite a few solo releases under his belt. In addition, Gavin has been a invaluable force in bringing many overlooked musical acts to the forefront through his brilliant writings for the UK publication, Drowned in Sound. 

'Meander Scars', Gavin's new double album is very much a departure from his previous output. While the use of acoustics has always resided in the backdrop on many of his solo and group efforts, it's plain to hear that with 'Meander Scars' these natural elements have risen to the top. Lost Tribe Sound is the ideal home for a Gavin Miller this delicate and organic. 

The aerial visuals formed by meander scarring and the origins of their creation, fit both the artwork and the vibe of music incredibly well. The long-form compositions were constructed from a series of slow churning rhythmic guitar loops, warm noise, soft synths and distant choirs which build over time into colliding patterns of pastoral bliss. Patient and mindful listening is key for these innocuous sounds to begin to carve their saturated pathways through the mind. Much like a river meandering over thousands of years, slowly dragging away the sediment and scaring the surrounding land, these pieces begin to take form, eroding away the malleable earth, letting gravity take hold to travel the course of least resistance.  

Being the ever curious and meddling types here at LTS, we engaged multi-instrumentalist and label mate Aaron Martin (From the Mouth of the Sun) to utilize his gorgeous cello sounds and other odd bits in his musical arsenal to fill out moments in the songs. Graciously, Aaron joined in, adding trembling washes of strings, chimes and other indiscernible noise to Gavin's compositions. Gavin than revisited his original material, carefully layering and balancing in the new instrumentation from Aaron. 

Excited by the results, Gavin shared them with us, and it was undeniable that Aaron's arrangements had created deep new conduits for the ears to follow. Yet, it wasn't until this moment that we fully appreciated the beauty of the original works. Torn by which versions to present as the final album, we realized why not present them both.  

Each version had a seemingly different affect on our conscious. The 'Upper Course' with Aaron Martin's additions, flows very much like a young river, faster, more active and commands the listener to be more attentive. Whereas, the original source material of 'Lower Course' mimics the behavior of an older river, slow flowing, in moments coming to a crawl. It's no longer the force able to move large boulders from its path. Yet in its stripped down form, it allows the listener to more easily traverse its tame currents, becoming the perfect cyclical backdrop needed for writing, drawing, and a multitude of other tasks requiring increased mental faculties.
