This is so comforting and peaceful, really beautiful! I love the idea of wanting "the listening to begin to feel like they belong". This definitely had that effect for me.

Thank you for your kind words. I really enjoyed writing for this project.

come in, have a seat | disquiet0515

my first disquiet submission. a chance encounter with this picture on instagram posted by dsqt made me take notice. i didn't know anything about disquiet before this. i kept staring into this picture, past all the text, and my mind started to drift. It is only a few hours later on revisiting  that i read about the project and decided to participate.

the basis of "come in, have a seat" is a field recording of trees in the wind. a few weeks back, on a walk in the neighborhood, the track came on as part of a random selection from my music library. it was comforting to listen to as i walked through a mostly concrete jungle. i checked to see what the track was, and to my surprise, i found it was something i'd recorded nearly 10 years ago for a play - the sound of trees in a gentle wind.

i wanted the listener to begin to feel like they belong.

The Assignment: Forge an unobtrusive path through musical flora.

Step 1: Take as inspiration the warning in the photo that serves as this project’s cover image.

Step 2: Think about the concept of creating an unobtrusive path through the musical equivalent of fragile vegetation.

Step 3: Record a piece of music that traces the path you imagined in Step 2.

Hello. I `m Aethery Fields.

There are moments when time seems to stand still.

Instants when fog settles over a landscape and contours blur. "hello." is such a moment, captured in sound, preserved like a fading Polaroid whose edges are already dissolving.
After a distant time in the shadows, sailing the cinematic seas of Dark Ambient and Soundscape with my moniker "Logic Moon", I felt the need to give my brighter side more space. **Aethery Fields** was born, not as an escape, but as a complement. A place where light penetrates through the mist, where silence is not empty but filled with fleeting impressions.

"hello." is the counterpoint to my otherwise busy self. It is a still frame in a fog-veiled landscape, blurred, hazy, yet all the more haunting for it. Sometimes they are mere silhouettes drifting through the sound, vague intimations of melodies that emerge from the mist and vanish again. Then suddenly simple lines crystallize, clear and immediate, before fading back into the haze.

Process
Every track on this album emerged spontaneously, born from the moment itself. I sat down, pressed record, and let the things flow. No overthinking, no perfectionism, only the urge to capture the here and now before it slips away. What you hear is what happened in that instant. A texture, a melody appearing out of nowhere. Minimalist in form, yet rich in emotion. This music reveals my quiet side, that self which strives for deceleration, which dwells in the now and transforms impressions into sound as naturally as breathing. Each piece is an impulse made audible, a fleeting thought given form. It is a pause between breaths, a lingering in the moment before it dissolves.

Like a Polaroid capturing the essence of a vanishing moment, the diffuse light, the blurred atmosphere, the unrepeatable accident, "hello." reflects instants that can never be fully grasped or recreated. Still lifes in stillness, which despite their calm are permeated by countless sounds and impressions. It is the beauty of the imperfect, the transient, the barely visible, the unplanned.
"hello." is an invitation to pause, to lose yourself in the fog and to discover the essential in the blurred, to feel the aliveness within the stillness.
