Ambient album Long Whale Song by musician SymphoCat was released on the Simphonic Silence Inside and Dreamscape labels. The album includes 10 songs with a total duration of more than 2 hours. 

"...Long, far, drawn-out songs of whales, all these epithets are well applicable for this release in which I wanted to reveal the sensual, submerged and vulnerable side of perception of the world. Whales for me as a prototype of inner loneliness, willpower, desire to learn and find their way in the ocean of life, to swim to the beckoning lighthouses and new shores. Of course I would like to note the social significance of the album, as these compositions drawing attention to the pollution of the oceans. Once again to remind of violation of an eco-system of a planet, invasion of a civilization and harmful influence on the natural process. It is also worth adding that the compositions are made in the style of ambient 80s, the times when the sea was plowed by the researcher Jacques-Yves Cousteau on the ship Calypso. And also created musicians Wendy Carlos and Holger Czukay, to whose creativity I also want to dedicate this album...".

Эмбиент альбом Long Whale Song от музыканта Symphocat вышел на лейбле Симфоническая Тишина Внутри и на лейбле Dreamscape. Альбом включает в себя 10 композиций общей продолжительностью более 2х часов. 

"...Длинные, дальние, протяжные песни китов, все эти эпитеты хорошо применимы для этого релиза, в котором хотел раскрыть чувственную, погруженную и ранимую сторону восприятия мира. Киты для меня выступают словно прообраз внутреннего одиночества, силы воли, стремления познавать и находить свой путь в океане жизни, плыть к манящим маякам и новым берегам. Конечно я бы хотел отметить и социальную значимость альбома, так как этими композициями хотел бы обратить внимание на загрязнение мирового океана. Еще раз напомнить о нарушениях эко-системы планеты, вторжения цивилизации и пагубного влияния на естественную природу. Так же стоит добавить, что композиции выполнены в стилистике эмбиента 80х, времен когда морские просторы бороздил исследователь Жак-Ив Кусто (Jacques-Yves Cousteau) на корабле Калипсо, творили музыканты Венди Карлос (Wendy Carlos) и Хольгер Шукай (Holger Czukay), творчеству которых так же хотел бы посвятить этот альбом..."

seven minutes of a self-generating Buchla 200e patch.  love the randomly subtle timbral shifts and articulations that arise.  listen in a large room if possible or headphones otherwise.  this patch almost seems to breathe. to see a photo and video of the patch go to http://m.matrixsynth.com/2012/08/krell-muzak-by-todd-barton-on-buchla.html

Another chapter in my ongoing series of studio ambient mixes (not recorded live, produced over at least a month). This one is extra special for me as the title alludes to the fact that 2021 means I have been working in sound design for a decade. To help celebrate, I designed this new psychedelic journey, and layered it with field recordings from my collection of SFX I have captured going all the way back to my first upload folder from summer 2011. 

The track selection plays out like an anthology of some of the most talented ambient/sound design producers, blending eras and approaches ranging from pillars such as Biosphere, Stars of the Lid, and William Basinski - alongside emerging producers like Green-House and Zeze Wakamatsu. Molding everything together is a constantly shifting foundation of found sounds. The listener begins literally floating downstream as one subtle aquatic effect dissolves into another for the opening fifteen minutes. I also included many of my favorite audio finds including air traffic controllers, vintage game shows, NASA communications, nature documentaries, and religious A.M. radio hosts to list a few.

As a special bonus and thank you: I am pledging a $5 donation for every 350 plays of this mix* to Coalition for the Homeless (based in NYC)(*for the first 10,000 plays).
UPDATE: As of 08.26 $107 has been donated to cover the first 7,500 plays
