Nettwerk will soon expand this effort with a full compilation, available on Bandcamp and other digital platforms. All proceeds—minus a 5% admin fee—will go to LA fire relief efforts. While it’s unconventional to self-release first and later transition to a label, we believe this approach will allow us to maximize donations, leveraging the support and infrastructure of a major label team.

Love, Lightness

We're thrilled to be releasing the first in a series of vocal ambient and instrumental works intended as music for prayer, reflection, meditation and stillness. 

This first track, entitled "A Prayer for Peace" can be interpreted as a prayer for peace within your heart, in your spheres of influence, or in our world. It's inspired by the following passage from Romans 12 -

"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves... If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."

We hope this song brings peace, and is a tool for prayer and reflection on your spiritual journey.

You can find A Prayer for Peace wherever music is - https://on.echoes.blue/a-prayer-for-peace

LAV & PURL - EARTH AND BEYOND [AMONE 002] PREVIEW // Out now!

– Elysia – 

Can you trace the origin of the gust of wind dancing across you skin? When and where did it begin? 

And the drop of water falling from the heavens, to refresh your brow and nourish the ground? 

Ceaseless currents move us. 
Here and now is our home. 
Never is it closer, never further away. 

Already here, before your every thought. 

Your existence will outlive the mountains. 
Your being will reach beyond the sky, surround the faintest star. 

Know yourself, then forget yourself. 
Dance with the wind. 
Melt in every breath.

"May-mess" - Profusion of hedge-blossom in full spring (Gerard Manley Hopkins, poetic)

Music by Dalot
Artwork by Gregory Euclide

Place Language is an international non-profit compilation album project inspired by the themes found in Robert Macfarlane’s widely-acclaimed book ‘Landmarks’. In particular it focuses on the book’s extensive topographic glossaries, the “word-hoard” of depictive landscape terms gathered from 30 different languages, dialects and sub-dialects around Britain & Ireland and divided into sections by type of terrain (Flatlands, Uplands, Waterlands, Coastlands, Underlands, Northlands, Edgelands, Earthlands and Woodlands). Relying on these topograms, or “tiny place poems”, as creative prompts, Place Language seeks to both inspire a renewed interest in our surroundings and reinvigorate our appreciation for the audible textures & patterns that characterize a place in keeping with the book’s stated desire to “re-wild” our vocabulary.

The collection features the work of 28 different sound-artists, field recordists, and musicians from around the globe each of whom selected a Landmarks topogram and recorded an impression of it thus adding rich new aspects of dimensionality through the act of sonification. These selections cover all nine of the book’s glossaries along with place-words of new coinage as prompted by the blank one which Macfarlane leaves at the end of the book for readers to fill in from their own experience. The end result is a truly global and collaborative survey of place, language, and sound.

Maps and Diagrams - Being Empty

Led by heavy wobbly basslines and pulsing synth pads, Atiq & EnK‘s debut album ‘Fear of the Unknown‘ exhibits a dark yet airy approach to beat-driven electronic music, injecting each song with an unmistakable groove and flow. Striking atmospheric breakdowns facilitate transitions among the infectious beat movements, while subtle glitches and echoing snares accentuate the overall flow of each song. Sometimes brooding, sometimes wondrous, ‘Fear of the Unknown‘ manages to hold the listener’s attention throughout with a steady and cohesive tapestry of expansive beatwork, contorted melodies, and enveloping atmospheres that all seem effortless and natural to these talented new Dutch sound designers. A remarkable and impressive debut, ‘Fear of the Unknown‘ burrows deep into the subconscious and ascends into an unknown inner universe. Are you afraid of the unknown, or will you embrace it?
