ABOUT
With their roots in India and Sweden respectively, Daljit Kundi and Ludvig Cimbrelius met in the sphere of UK music culture. With Daljit growing up in Birmingham, and Ludvig having been heavily influenced by the influx of innovative electronic music from the British isles, it was in the realms of ambient jungle that the musical duo first set sail together. Their debut release ‘Timeless Travellers’ is an intergalactic voyage undertaken in the spirit of innocence and exploration that remains a hallmark of the genre, including remixes from their long time friend Simon Huxtable (Aural Imbalance) as well as the melodic genius Ulrich Schnauss. Ludvig traveled to Birmingham for the release event, performing a powerful set back-to-back with Daljit.

After some extraordinary remix work for their good friend Kirsty Hawkshaw’s Wellhead Records and several celebrated EP’s, the duo moved away from the fast paced breaks, bringing the scope of cinematic ambient into full focus. This change was also reflected in their shifting monikers, with Ludvig returning to his roots with ‘Purl’ and Daljit bringing his cinematic inner visions to life as ‘Sinius’. Their debut album ‘Oceans of Sounds’, though passed on by several record labels, was eventually released some 3 years after its completion and has subsequently become an underground classic.

Recurring struggles with record labels and with getting their music heard coincided with big life changes, ultimately leading to their next album waiting on the shelf in a near-finished state for close to 7 years. Passing along a demo to PITP eventually led to their embracing of the project, and with their loving support ‘Embryology’ is now ready to be born. In contrast to its predecessor ’Oceans of Sound’ - and as its title suggests - ‘Embryology’ is an exploration of the inner creative realms and the emotional aspects of the different stages of the creative process. As a whole, the album attempts to represent a psychic darkness that is as deeply restful as it is ripe with creative potential.

Ludvig and Daljit extend their deep gratitude to their friends at PITP for their loving support, and especially to Zach, Cynthia and James for their respective contributions in making ‘Embryology’ ready for the world.

Embryology

The Rising Tide

Undulating, steadily evolving and nuanced solo piano piece.

Solo Piano - Solitude

Searching

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.
(Emily Dickinson)

Ambient Cat Remixes, Vol. 1

A Pattern To My Scars (Brannan Lane Remix)

This track takes you to a high place, just close your eyes and dream.

Angels Unfurled

Thought came to my mind 'the sound you hear before falling asleep, or the first sound you hear when you wake up,' inspired me to perform this remarkable Beatles song. The cat on the artwork, a lovely one living in a record store. Probably listens beautiful music with his dad, lovely. 

I'm Only Sleeping - The Beatles (Acoustic/Vocals/Guitar)

This fascinating Sufi brotherhood music from northeastern Morocco, featuring sung poetry carried by two spellbinding flutes weaving eerie sonorities and trance-like rhythms, is available for Flac and MP3 download on my blog:

When activated, The Kowalski Protocol sets in motion a complete reboot of all local space. Please evacuate to a safe distance before initialising.

A droning, dark ambient piece leaning heavily in to soundscape territory.

This track is from my recently released dark ambient and drone album, Transmission, that you can pick up on Bandcamp at https://thurstonoshaunnassy.bandcamp.com/album/transmission. 

Transmission

The Kowalski Protocol

Warm late spring morning in shoreline forest. Golden oriole is back.

Golden Oriole

That moment when I realized and managed to channel my emotions into music. Third time a charm - my first mix!
