Kagami Smile - Reflection of Light 
Taken from VA/Meditations 7
Limited Edition CD available here:

https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/meditations-7

Mastered by Andrea Porcu
Release date: 12.3.2021

Kagami Smile is from an industrial city a few hours from Chicago and spends some of his time in the futuristic sprawl of Shenzhen, China. He takes influence from shoegaze records as well as minimal techno labels such as Chain Reaction and Modern Love. His most recent output of music focuses on minimal meditative synthwork reminiscent of early Aphex Twin and strong nods to Japanese video game soundtracks as well as the concept of liminal spaces. His music reflects a series of recurring dreams had since 2017, that of a missed moment with a stranger. His compositions are usually filled with nostalgia and romance as well as a haze of urban solitude. He has released on labels such as Dream Catalogue, Tekres, SOVN, Gin&Platonic, as well as an upcoming album on Opal Tapes and Sores (Sound+Matter) from Sweden. He will also release an album on Shimmering Moods this year.

The Meditations various artists compilation continues its exploration into sounds with exclusive tracks for this compilation series.

Music for Whales, an ambient radio transmission.
Chapter 13: Adam Wiltzie & Brian Mcbride, Also know as Stars of the Lid. A musical poem made of the tittles of some of their best productions, literaly written and mixed following the same order as they appeared. Nothing else to say... Whales would not understand us.

"Supposed essay on the piano
our last moment in the song,
and by the steep hills of tears,
the slow descent has begun

Our atoms like sun drugs,
the articulated Silences,
and the evil that never arrived,
were the better angels of our nation.

Transforming  the country;
Guilt of Uncomplicated Thoughts.
A Gathering to Lead Me When You're Gone,
 into the Stringer to Light Feed Frenzy,
a fifth  Made Of Phantoms.

When I see the scissors I can't help but think of you,
i know that you dont like the future like i do
I will surround you...
Be small with me.

That finger on your temple is the barrel of my ray gun,
An Melodrames telegraphies,
chronicle of early failures…
It's this love song".

Subsolar out now 

Hailing from Kristiansund on the northwest coast of Norway, Helge Tømmervåg has been crafting electronic sounds since the early '80s. His earliest work recorded under the now-familiar Mind over MIDI moniker arrived in the early '90s. He's released scores of highly regarded and stylistically uncompromising sounds over the years, appearing on labels including Silent Seasons, Diametric, Hibernate, Whitelabrecs, ROHS! Lontano Series, Shimmering Moods Records, Slow Tones Collages and via his own Berserk Fabrik.


ABOUT THE MUSIC
Electronic music for daydreamers and nighthinkers. Inspired by the icy winds, snowy vistas and frozen landscapes in Norway.

If you can picture the very furthest, coldest, darkest part of Norway, that's where Mind over MIDI resides. If you want to get an idea of what it's like there, and can do without the frostbite, then this is the perfect solution.
