What are memories? 
Released today on Audiobulb on all platforms ! And a wonderful cover by @jeffdungfelder  Thank you for all contributions 😍  
We are thrilled to announce the latest musical exploration from renowned cellist and composer Henrik Meierkord who has teamed up with peers to revisit, review and remix his track Erinnerungen. Each artist is invited to bring their own memories and explore an interplay with Henriks  original form. Henrik Meierkord’s music has been praised for its emotional depth and technical brilliance, with Erinnerungen be-ing no exception. 
Henrik Meierkord is taking a fresh approach to the composition by collaborating with other artists and reimagining it in a whole new light. The result is an innovative blend of classical and electronic ele-ments that brings new life to Erinnerungen while still staying true to its core essence

OA298: Homemade Weapons & Voidloss - Bloodlillies In The Moonlight

Homemade Weapons and Voidloss converge in a storm of mechanical chaos, crafting a dark soundscape where precision meets industrial aggression.
"Bloodlilies in the Moonlight" blooms like a cursed flower in a barren expanse—a death march etched in militant percussion, fractured rave stabs, and spectral whispers.
Homemade Weapons’ reimagining of "A Clattering of Hooves" is a shuffling, lumbering specter that shakes the earth like the thunder of an ancient cavalry.
A masterclass in layered sound design, weaving obscure atmospheres into heavyweight breakbeat artillery.

Homemade Weapons & Voidloss - Bloodlillies In The Moonlight

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!

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.

November 2007. Winter is coming closer. The track here is based on some of the source material for the 2004 album release Signal to Noise, mainly a single recording of a longer pad sound of a Yamaha SY 77 synthesizer. It has been sampled, transposed, filtered and layered a few times to get to the final result.

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!

Imbued Vagary - Captured Moments 2

Release Notes:
In categorizing ones own projects, a template of sorts begins to emerge. One of those is this series. Imbued Vagary is proud to present to you a collection of musicians as well as a collection of “captured moments”. In this case, the second in a series. Just as the name implies, these are moments of raw electronic improvisation, complete with all the “imperfections” one would expect from such an endeavor. Concepts thought up and run with on the spur of the moment. Captured moments of time in an overall fabric of synthesized space.
