Visitors to Erinnerungen

Henrik Meierkord - 'Erinnerungen' - Moss Covered Technology Remix [AudioBulb, 2024]

The following statement is taken from Dronarivm's Bandcamp page - 

Dear friends,

It has been a long time since we last released a compilation – our previous one was back in 2020. For the 100th release of our label, we felt it was the perfect occasion to celebrate in great company! We invited many musicians who have collaborated with Dronarivm in the past to create joint tracks with an artist of their choice. The result is 23 uniquely diverse tracks that showcase the vast musical spectrum of the genre we generally call "Ambient."

We are proud to present Illuminations III, a compilation created as a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who has supported us over the years. This includes musicians, listeners, visual artists, photographers, designers, podcasters, reviewers, and everyone who has helped us grow and move forward.

Illuminations III features over two hours of outstanding music from leading ambient producers, and just like any true gift, it's completely free to download. Of course, if you wish, you can contribute any amount you find appropriate. All proceeds will go toward supporting and further developing our projects.

For those who prefer a physical format, the album is also available as a print-on-demand double CDr.

We hope you enjoy this release – a labor of love that took over six months to create. Thank you for your continued support!

Moss Covered Technology & Snufmumriko - 'Skagerrak' - From 'Illuminations III' [Dronarivm, 2024]

Released February 20, 2025

Various Artists – Healing Sound Propagandist: Retrospective [2019-2024]

Since its foundation, Indianapolis-based Healing Sound Propagandist has quietly built a catalog of nearly a hundred releases by a cadre of emerging and established artists, specializing in undiluted doses of textured drone and experimental ambient. To commemorate this prolific run, Retrospective [2019-2024] collects 76 standout tracks over five hours, from the warm tonal blankets of James Bernard (“Never Alone”), to the wispy, boreal loops of UK’s Pallette (“Für What”) and the womb-like warble of Sean Evans (“Repetition”), along with scores of other beautifully rendered works covering a broad range of atmospheres and instrumentations.

As an arm of the renowned Past Inside The Present imprint, HSP maintains a kinship with its creators and followers that only an artist-run house can provide. Label head Zach Frizzell (aka zakè) found himself in need of a dedicated home for deep cuts and longer form works by his vastly talented roster – one where the focus is squarely on the music and energy, rather than narratives, conceits, or other diversions. Across the label’s discography there is a consistency of quality, from ascendant and seasoned artists alike, that has kept supporters eagerly engaged since the very start. A deliberate choice to release exclusively on digital and cassette formats further places the focus on uninterrupted, deep listening.

Throughout Retrospective, there is a gentle and effective pacing that more than justifies its overall span, while venerating the sheer variety of approaches to curative music. UK-based Moss Covered Technology provides the overture, “Glare”, placing soft, flittering synths over gathering swells of sweetened drone, while Chicago’s wøunds delivers a frigid hum underscored by subtle, strummed guitar on “December191920”. Elsewhere, the duo of Blanket Swimming + Gallery Six evokes a sunlit garden in the sustained blush of “With Endless Eyes”, and Amsterdam’s andarctica unfurls the album-length “Pur”, a hypnotic vessel of stunning depth and dimension.

While the term “propagandist” might evoke some staunch political ideology or breed of thought control, its use by HSP is an ironic foil to the earnestness of the music, which is intended to be fully open to interpretation and suitable for all forms of engagement. According to Frizzell, “Our conviction is that healing sounds and meditative music contain transformative powers — this is an ethos we pursue with unwavering passion, putting all our cards on the table and letting the work speak for itself.”

In a culture beset by gimmicks and ghosts in the machines, simplicity and authenticity are in vanishingly short supply; a reliable sanctuary is a real gift, and for six years the curators at Healing Sound Propagandist have kept that notion at the forefront. Across its many topographies and tonalities, Retrospective is a (relatively) concise distillation for the familiar fan, and only a tantalizing toe in the water for the uninitiated, offered in the hope that it might open new entryways to profound listening experiences.

A compilation from El Muelle Records, Spain. 

Todo comenzó con una reflexión que sobrevolaba por nuestro muelle, la sensación de que estamos viviendo tiempos áridos y agrios, donde el grito sin sentido se alza sobre las voces y el ambiente es de una aspereza que asfixia. 
A la conclusión que llegábamos era la urgencia de calidez humana, de sentir el abrazo y la cercanía del otro, sean allegados o no, amigos o desconocidos. 
De esta máxima surge “Slow sketch vol. 1: Reflections of the ambient community”, nuestro granito de arena para que los tiempos fríos acaben transformados en esa calidez humana y así, añadir una banda sonora quieta a esos momentos donde la humanidad acaba siendo nuestro traje de diario. 
“Slow sketch vol. 1: Reflections of the ambient community” presenta el trabajo de cuarenta artistas y proyectos que comparten nuestra reflexión sobre el mundo que nos rodea y recogen el testigo de nuestra propuesta para ofrecernos su calidez y sensibilidad a través de las máquinas.

DR-65 : ECOVILLAGE - Arrived

Emil Holmstrom and Peter Wikstrom have been working on different music projects together since 2001, but in 2006 after a long journey around south asia they found some otherworldly inspiration to create The Ecovillage project.

Ecovillage say that the seventh album Arrived has by far been the most mentally challenging one to create, but also the work that could be the most rewarding to date on many levels.

Ecovillage feel that Arrived is the first album they have made that is a personal concept album that tell a certain story for the listener.

There was a hard time finishing up the album with lots of struggle at the end of creating it, but a mini tour in Los Angeles that was filled with tons of consolation, inspiring places and people to help finishing up the album.

Two collaborations from the album
really make a mark. Ludvig Cimbrelius aka Purl, IIuvia, Eternell etc. who also was on the mini tour in LA and Carlos Niño who they met at two occasions and kindly contributed with lots of energy and inspiration for the album. Also Gayle Ellett who is a constant collaborator and almost a third member of the band helped out on many planes.

Ecovillage have released albums on Darla Records, Quince Records, Parallax Sounds, Constellation Tatsu, Nature Bliss and Eilean records

Preorder: https://planetmu.bleepstores.com/release/166010-konx-om-pax-return-to-cascada
https://konx-om-pax.bandcamp.com/album/return-to-cascada

Tom Scholefield follows last year's optimistic album Ways of Seeing, which saw Konx-om-Pax take things directly to the dancefloor, with Return to Cascada, revisiting the album and looking at chosen tracks in different ways, finding their core feeling and levelling them up in mood and innovation.

The EP starts with the sole guest remix, a fantastic moody spiralling take on Rez from man of the moment Skee Mask. This is followed by Return to Cascada, a complete retooling of the lead track from his Refresher EP, which gently mixes a meditative vocoder against chattering synths and an off-beat chirp, suspending the listener in a static mesh. Säule Acid is given some trippy tweaks and edits, giving it the feeling of early Warp bleep music injected with sunshine and dub. I'm for Real (Ambient Mix) loses the drums and gets lost in the spongy tones of its synths, with Nightwave's voice sent through the echo chamber. Caramel (Live Version) takes the original track back to tough dancefloor basics and we finish with Teufelsberg's icy synths and bleeps feeling like Wiley's eskibeats taken to an island paradise.

Secret Pyramid is the nom de nocturne of Vancouver, BC’s resident ambient explorer Amir Abbey. Having perfected his brand of elegant elegia over the past decade heard on albums released by illustrious imprints as Students of Decay, Ba-Da-Bing!, and Nice Up International and collaborated with the likes of Loscil, Abbey makes his Geographic North debut with 'Embers,' Secret Pyramid’s most sincerely solemn and curiously calming work to date.

Embers’ six pieces find Abbey furroughing a few of his most trusted tools (including Ondes Martenot, sampler, Space Echo, two tape machines, and a computer), while taking a more compositional approach than his past works. This method opened entirely new aural possibilities and allowed Abbey to consider, manipulate, and re-consider each passing tone. The end result is an exquisitely enveloping work of contemporary ambient music that is equally inspired by and spiritually linked to influential French composer Olivier Messiaen, the progenitors of Dub, and a number of ephemeral oddities in between. 

Sonically, 'Embers' reveals some of Secret Pyramid’s most minimal and open works yet. Certain pieces (such as “Pins,” “Particles,” and “Ohms”) employ a single instrument or sound source with only a modicum of manipulation. This “less is more” approach gave each sound actual room to breathe and find a balance of beauty and dissonance, and the magical transition between the two.

Emotionally, the music was created during a particularly turbulent time in Abbey’s life, allowing him to process things musically. In his own words, “It’s a reflection of the impermanent, shifting, and fleeting aspects of our lives, both the good and the bad, that often spark something inside of us. Aspects of our daily existence, and the self (whether our emotions, surroundings, relationships,) that are constantly morphing, disappearing, reappearing, burning out, reigniting, and so forth, metaphorically like flares or embers.”

Secret Pyramid - "Flares"

I'm Finally Happy to present to you my most ambitious work. It has been a rough year for me and for everyone, and I hope this introspection about my deepest feelings will bring you some emotions.

About this release: 

This compilation has been put together in order to raise awareness and/or raise money for the UK charity, Refuge. This means 100% of proceeds from all sales will go to them (after the standard deductions from Bandcamp and PayPal). 

It was 1971 when Refuge opened the world’s first safe house, so this year marks the 50th year they’ve been helping women and children escape a life of abuse and violence; the first to make the point that violence in the home was no longer “a private matter” for society to simply turn a blind eye. 

Refuge’s reputation of helping vulnerable people comes at a time where domestic violence (globally) has increased recently by nearly 30%, according to the UN; this is due in no small part to the government lockdowns brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Victims often now find themselves under constant surveillance by their abuser where phones are regularly checked and/or confiscated, making it harder than ever to call or text for help.

The title, Music for Another Sky, is derived from the 1890 poem There is Another Sky , by Emily Dickinson. It’s a poem where Emily is addressing her brother, yet it appears to tap into the same sentiment of hope I imagine considered by many a domestic violence survivor; the hope and possibility of living another life without fear or worry. 

There is another sky, 
Ever serene and fair, 
And there is another sunshine, 
Though it be darkness there; 
Never mind faded forests, Austin, 
Never mind silent fields - 
Here is a little forest, 
Whose leaf is evergreen; 
Here is a brighter garden, 
Where not a frost has been; 
In its unfading flowers 
I hear the bright bee hum: 
Please, my brother, 
Into my garden come!
