Sunset Skyline (Forest Version)

About a month ago, I launched and announced Headphone Community – a special place where independent artists can connect with their supporters in an intimately curated space. The first and currently featured artist is James Murray, whose music I have been covering for over a decade now. We’re only halfway through the month, and so far, I have already published an exclusive track premiere [unavailable anywhere else], an interview with Murray [he’s usually very reserved about sharing his process and technique], and a shout-out to his imprint Slowcraft [including a 50% off discount code to anything in the label’s catalogue, exclusive to the members]. And, yes, I tend to believe that for only $1 a month, as a subscriber, you get immense value for your contribution, not to mention that every dollar raised will go back to the artist! So, I feel very optimistic about the entire project and (on some mornings) proud.

But there is another thing that has been happening behind the scenes. As I began to highlight this artist and spend more time with his sound throughout the month, I started to truly connect with his music on a level much deeper than ever before. Yes, I have already lauded his 2022 album, Careful Now, as one of the best of that year, but as I listened to it again and again and again, it started to open up beyond its sonic medium. It became more than just music – a conversation between a composer and a listener, and suddenly… I really heard. This active and heightened experience of listening reminded me of the very early days of discovering the beauty of music – when I used to nestle with an album for months and years at a time. In the last greatly accelerating decades of social media, algorithms, and time-sliced attention spans, I feel like I’ve been robbed of that. And now, I’m bringing it all back. 

Today’s track premiere is from Murray’s upcoming EP, Clearings, scheduled to be released via Home Normal in April. It’s an alternative mix of one of the pieces from Careful Now, showcasing the evolution of the track with an intimate glimpse into its transition and the final shape. Read more about this alternate version directly from James on Headphone Community.

Sunk Cost Fallacy

Download/Stream

Interlude Canyon

Through the cracks of silence, reflections open like petals of an eternal bloom. Shadows slip across forgotten mirrors as light bends through prisms of violet mist. Relics of time lie beneath the veil, but among the ruins, something lingers: a fragile breath that lingers, carrying the essence of eons into the present.

So Much Going On

Hallo zusammen.... Ich darf euch jetzt den zweiten Teil der Zusammenarbeit mit O Zero vorstellen. Wir haben, so glaube ich einen Weg gefunden, wo wir uns musikalisch gut ergänzen. Ein Video ist in Planung, kann aber noch dauern. Hört euch das Stück in Ruhe an und fallt dann mit euren Meinungen über uns her. Wir freuen uns darauf... Wir wünschen gute Unterhaltung und bis zum nächsten Mal.... Gruß Robert und Jürgen

Hello everyone... I am now pleased to present the second part of our collaboration with O Zero. I believe we have found a way to complement each other musically. A video is in the works, but it may take a while. Take your time to listen to the track and then let us know what you think. We look forward to hearing from you... We hope you enjoy it and see you next time... Best regards, Robert and Jürgen

Since 2021 and under various aliases, he explores a wide range of musical genres, including ambient, lounge, chill house, trance and techno. During this short period he has already gained millions of streams and support from several DJ legends along with no 1 position on the Beatport charts.

When it comes to his works released under his real name, Niclas's compositions primarily delve into the ethereal realms of ambient and cinematic music. By blending classical storytelling techniques with contemporary electronic vibes and soundscapes, Niclas wants to create a transcendent experience where listeners can immerse themselves, conjuring vivid visuals and painting their own unique narratives based on the music they hear.
