Name: Kichijoji Kids by P.Holt
Duration: 22 s
Description: Walking along a Kichijoji street back in 2018, the sound of kids playing in an indoor swimming pool was emanating from a vent, 7 or so feet up a wall. It was so joyful, I recorded it for posterity.

Taken from the album "ひかりのたび（Dream of Light）" released on 15th September 2013 from Sweet Dreams Press, Tokyo.

Violent Freedom

Taken from album "Tara Jane O'Neil & Nikaido Kazumi" released on 15 May 2011 from Sweet Dreams Press, Tokyo and 24 May 2011 from K Records, Olympia.

Tara Jane O’Neil met Nikaido Kazumi in 2002 in Kyoto, Japan. Since that time they have toured Japan 5 times together, and are now releasing a self-titled album of amazing instrumentation that highlights their musical kinship and general fondness for one another. Work on this album began in the spring of 2008 where, in a small room with an oil heater, some stringed instruments, some things to bang on and their friends Geoff Soule and Norio Fukuda, they recorded four hours of improvised material in one day. In the spring of 2010 TJO returned to Japan to meet with Nikaido in Kobe at the Guggenheim house; very minimal recording equipment, a floor tom, an amp and empty rooms in a Victorian mansion were their tools this time. Songs from the previous session were revisited and structures built upon and around them. Nikaido and TJO do not speak the same language, so often the use of drawings, pantomime, and clapping were used to communicate ideas. Together the artists spent two years turning the recordings of 4 days into gorgeous intuitive guitar and voice duets that create a collection of orchestral collage songs which are truly a unique delight for the ears.

“Ever since she began putting her name on the front of her albums, Tara Jane O'Neil has perfected the art of writing songs that perfectly encapsulate both the comfort of misery and the misery of comfort.” – Pitchfork

“O‘Neil is a gifted guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist with an ear for hushed soundscapes and nocturnal sonic textures.” – Venus Zine

DHAthens Premiere: Tlazohtla - Susurros (Ni! - Remix) [Hug Records]

This is the 108th Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics. These monthly released sessions brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer. I am very excited for this months session because Karen Vogt is presenting her mix with fresh new music and  dives into atmosphere, nature, chanting and peaceful little sounds that emerge in all tracks that she selected for this occassion.

About:
Karen Vogt is an Australian artist who uses her voice primarily to create atmospheric compositions. Mostly known for her ethereal, shimmering vocals with Australian dream-pop band Heligoland, that she co-founded in 1999 (produced by Robin Guthrie). She is now based in Paris, France and composes experimental and ambient solo works based around improvisation, often manipulating her vocals to add layers of emotional depth to her works. She also has a fortnightly radio show on CAMP where she plays 2 hours of new ambient, electronic and experimental music.
Her mix for September is inspired by the shift in the weather from late Summer to early Autumn. Her intention was to create a soundtrack with which to watch the fading light and feel the temperature drop. The mix includes an exclusive unreleased track from the forthcoming Guentner | Spieth album (out on AFFIN in October) along with a selection of new releases ranging from experimental ambient to pop ambient. Some vocal ambient tracks are included with Vogt's own works, remixes of her work and her GALÁN / VOGT collaboration with Spanish composer Pepo Galán.

Ambient Sessions # 108 -  Karen Vogt

English
In the past, Kuwait was a prosperous commercial enclave that rivaled the Iraqi city of Basra as an exchange center for goods moving between India and the Middle East. It was also the center of shipbuilding in the entire Persian Gulf. It later became an independent emirate, but under the British yoke.

This small summary of its history reveals that this land, for better or worse, has enriched its culture through other international cultures. For this reason, the music with which we represent Kuwait here, in addition to its oriental flavor, also contains other aromas that try to stage and magnify something of its history.

Español
En el pasado Kuwait fue un próspero enclave comercial que rivalizó con la ciudad iraquí
de Basora como centro de intercambio para las mercancías que circulaban entre la India y Oriente Próximo. Asímismo fue el centro de la construcción naval de todo el golfo Pérsico. Más tarde pasó a formar un emirato independiente, pero bajo el yugo británico.

Este pequeño resumen de su historia rebela que esta tierra, para bien o para mal, ha enriquecido su cultura mediante otras culturas internacionales. Por ello, la música con que aquí representamos a Kuwait, además de su sabor oriental, contiene también otros aromas que tratan de escenificar y magnificar algo de su historia.

Sinf. No. 3 - Mov. VI - Kuwait

‚Scenery (feat. Ni!)’ is a polyphonic, genre-breaking piece of music. Mechanically percussive rhythm outlines, performed by prepared Pianos and analogue Synthesizers, combined with melodic phrases of woodwinds and brasses, build a hypnotic journey through the grounds of Minimal Music, Ambient, Jazz and Electronica.

From the album: SineRider - Perennial

Physical copies and digital downloads available here:

Sound In Silence proudly announces the return of SineRider, presenting his new album Perennial.

This is his third album on the label after the highly acclaimed Four Years Away in 2018 and A Familiar Light in 2021.

SineRider is the solo project of Berklee College of Music composer Devin Powers, based in Norwood, Massachusetts. For over a decade, he has been producing his sublime music, ranging from ambient and electronica to shoegaze and post-rock, having many releases on labels such as Sun Sea Sky, Archives, Dronarivm and others, or self-released. He has also recorded instrumental music of a variety of genres like indie, slowcore, lo-fi, dubstep and 8-bit, under many different aliases such as Senseed, Bleepy Bloopy, Hooting Everywhere and Reanu Keeves, while he is also one half of the projects Lakewaves and Introspecter, along with Graham Marlowe and Brian Stegmann, respectively.

Perennial, SineRider’s new full-length album, features twelve new compositions of blissful ambience and calming soundscapes. Using layers of warm synths, soothing pads, dreamy piano melodies, twinkling chimes, subtle bass lines, melancholic drones and various effects, Powers creates another beautiful ambient album, exquisitely mastered by George Mastrokostas (Absent Without Leave), that captivates the listener with its mesmerizing textures and dreamlike quality.

Perennial comes in two distinct editions.

The first one is a deluxe limited edition of 50 handmade, hand-stamped and hand-numbered collectible copies. The disc of this edition includes three exclusive bonus tracks, not included in the other edition or the digital download. It is packaged in a lovely, hand-tied, sewn fabric envelope, which includes a 4 panel insert sheet containing tracklist and information printed on a 250 gsm kraft recycled cardboard and the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper. It also comes bundled with a download code coupon and a Sound In Silence card.

attc vs Koharu - 淡海節

I'm a fan of experimental ambient, sound-art and global music/sounds, and then some. 

Between 2012 - 2015, I broadcast In the Quiet from the studios of PBS 106.7FM. My main intention was to explore ambient music from around the world in all of its forms - music that gilds, and sometimes engulfs our silences.

I believe musicians do us all a great favour through their creations, providing succour and surrender. 

Every here and there I'll post some mixes - I hope you enjoy them. ( Essentially, I'm using works created by musicians as colours on a palette - for an aural painting. That's how I see and would like my mixes to be received. )
