Deep Ambient Electronica

A new collection of work titled 'Sodium Light' from myself has just been released on Lee Norris's excellent NeoTantra label. The work was inspired by a series of night walks my daughter and I took towards the back end of 2019; pre all the states we find ourselves in at the moment. It's an impressionistic work of night-time cityscapes. Mastered by Fraser McGowan.

Tomosla - Moor Thoughts

This is a track from the beautiful new album of minimalist piano pieces from French composer, Catherine Watine.

Feb 2nd sees the release of this new album of introspective and electronically tinged piano miniatures from our favorite French composer, Catherine Watine! This is our 4th release with Catherine, and once again in her own melancholic and melodic fashion she has fit our aural aesthetic perfectly. These beautiful little pieces will have you dreaming of rainy Parisian afternoons, clockwork mechanisms and mysterious encounters of the heart.  

TRS is also responsible for the packaging and design of the Deluxe limited vinyl version of the album, this time in an edition of only 40 copies. Once again we have taken liberties with the original artwork from the standard vinyl version, once again created by the incomparable graphiste et magicienne, @vel.visual…aka Caroline Lysiak. The piano in her original artwork has been cut open by @mariachenut, hand-stitched around with twine, with the inside filled with vintage musical notes, cloth flowers and netting, and then attached to 1950’s Classical music boxes in a 3 dimensional manner. Inside the box is the original printed textual insert, a unique, engraved coversheet from a 100+ year old sheet music songbook, and in the back, nestled in folded, textured book binding paper is one of a variety of types of antique, metal music box discs. Each box then comes in an oversized poly-bag.

We will also have limited quantities of the standard vinyl version as well, at our TRS Bandcamp page, where of course it is also available in a digital form, if you must!

Last 4 copies: https://slowtonecollages.bandcamp.com/album/sortil-ge

Sortilège was a soundscape created for a group exhibition of the same name at Nutshell Studios in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire curated by Patricia Brien & Viviana Rossi-Caffell. Rather than following and fitting in with any particular artwork I tried to stay true to the title, taking a random group of objects metaphorically throwing them into the air and ‘divining’ a pattern and ‘meaning’ from how they landed. I worked very quickly collecting sounds from household objects, scrap metal and from various old field recordings including bells from Gloucester Cathedral. Programmed, performed & processed using a Digitakt sampler straight to tape. No overdubs. 

About the artwork: 

‘Diamond in the Rough’, 2023, is part of a series of works deriving its title from the legend of the Genie’s Lamp. 
Originating from pre-Islamic mythology, Genies were initially associated with shapeshifting, possession and madness. In later Western popular representation and under the influence of Orientalism, they appeared in Western literature and film as wish-granting creatures living in magic lamps or bottles. Hidden in the depths of the Cave of Wonders, the Genie’s lamp can only be found by an individual known as the Diamond in the Rough: a person gifted by exceptional qualities and talents but unaware of them, lacking refinement and social skills. 
Drawing a parallel with the condition of the unknown artist and their work in their potential of becoming tangibly valuable only when found by the right hands in the Art World, ‘Diamond in the Rough’ draws playful connections with objects of desire, wishes and chance.

"Though the river's current never fails, the water passing, moment by moment, is never the same. Where the current pools, bubbles form on the surface, bursting and disappearing as others rise to replace them, none lasting long." - Kamo no Chōmei (1155 - 1216), Hōjōki 

"Casual Now" is a suite of fragments inspired by landscapes with water—places of peace and tranquility that remind people of the way the world behaves.

Dave Bessell Chromatic Lightning Cage DiN84

Release date 15th March 2024
Limited to 250 copies Digipak CD

This new release from synthesist Dave Bessell sees him completing a quartet of albums loosely based on the Greek philosophy of the Four Elements, namely Fire, Water, Earth and Air. There’s certainly no doubting that “Chromatic Lightning Cage” with its vivid cover is referencing Fire but this personal odyssey started with the concept of Water on his inaugural solo album, “Analogue” released in 2010. This was followed by “Black Horses Of The Sun” (DiN47) - Air, and “Reality Engine” (DiN62) - Earth.

Bessell has also released three collaborations with Parallel Worlds on the DiN imprint as well as being part of the synth supergroup Node. It is interesting that whilst the Berlin School inspired sequencer riffs of the latter dominate the soundstage Bessell largely eschews this approach on his own albums. Rather on this and his other DiN solo releases he explores interesting harmonic progressions with a series of interlocking delicate arpeggios. This is most evident on the opening track “After Hours” as well as the beautiful closing piece “Elegy”. Elsewhere Bessell blurs the line between guitar and synth using his stringed instruments as controllers for his modular systems. His music has always had an element of the soundtrack to it and this is certainly highlighted in the track “Ariel” which has a mystical, unearthly quality to its soundscapes. Bessell has noted that the ghosts of Amon Tobin and Nils Frahm wander through this album at times which is certainly an intriguing thought.

Always one to push the boundaries Bessell has included a QR code in the Bandcamp download version of the album that opens up an augmented reality vista from the cover image. Lovers of Electronica, Downtempo, Ambient and Soundtracks will find much to admire in “Chromatic Lightning Cage” and this new album once again showcases the unique talent of this highly individual musician.

"Various Arias" is a slow-paced ambient album where each piece is composed of two intertwining loops recorded on tape. All the effects derive from various pedals during the recording process; only some EQ adjustments were made to tame certain resonant frequencies. A full mix was intentionally avoided to preserve the raw and emotive qualities characteristic of Lamasz’s music.

Imaginary Friends

Gently, Drown the Scene

Ultimae proudly presents Connect.Ohm [ 9980 ] a collaborative album born of the musical encounter between composers Hidetoshi Koizumi aka Hybrid Leisureland and Alexandre Scheffer aka Cell respectively based in Tokyo and Paris. 

The composers discovered each other’s work through solo albums previously released on Ultimae, and on a brief meeting in Paris in 2011 decided to blend their worlds of sounds and textures. 
The outcome is subtle and emotive. 

The nine tracks released on [ 9980 ] compose a ballad in atmospheric realms where finely chiseled rhythms and fluid melodies are sustained by discreet downtempo grooves and deep drones. 
A pure delight for vast soundscapes audiophiles.
