Handstitched* is happy to announce a new split-artist EP (hs53) is by two consistent artists and friends of Handstitched* - Darren Harper & Ümlaut, both well-known and respected within musical spheres and both have released music on an amazing array of well-respected labels over the years.

Darren Harper - "Generational Drift - A seasonal reflection in four movements" wanders through a tactile and circular movement of explorations and minimalistic patterns of generative structures, each arrangement allows itself to occupy its own space within the theme, and variations evolve with harmonious and unrestricted woven textures, subtly offering an openness and tranquillity. "Generational Drift" is a long-form piece that is a sonic tapestry of evolving beauty and internal perceptions.

Ümlaut - "The Celestial Sphere" in contrast to Darren Harpers' work is fractured, short-formed pieces adjoining each other with a disjointed tension, sometimes off-kilter but always focused with a thought-provoking structure. Ümlaut navigates his way through contrasting and conflicting elements and carries the listener through a maze of articulations and random jazz-infused electronic segments, choosing to avoiding traditional form and creating something uniquely dynamic and engaging, all wrapped-up inside a sonic cosmos.

Issued on dual-format, limited edition tape and mini double CD featuring individually hand-bound and hand-cut collage CD wallets made from vintage materials and papers, a special print edition of five x ten designs for the [tape] O-cards to house the c45 cassettes. Each CD copy is hand-numbered and packed inside glassine bags, tape copies are packed inside a clear eco bag.

Simulation Cult

Simulation Cult (Alessandro Cortini Remix)

Researching the evolution of listening, language and spine, I noticed the German word 'Haltung'  can not be translated easily into English. you need at least 3 words: posture, stance, integrity and perhaps perseverance is in it too. Durchhalten. Hang in there.

The composition is a reflection on how we can weave communities under collective dissonance on a planet under attack and exploitation. 

Can Frequencies reach spaces that are uncontrollable and differently organised to give humans strength, stable spines and perseverance to learn to live in coexistence with all other life forms that are part of us and nourish us.

The piece was commissioned by The Lake Radio as part of our Works for Radio 2024 with support from Koda's Cultural Funds and was selected by an international jury consisting of representatives from Seydisfjordur Community Radio (IS) and Retreat Radio (SE).

Dear friends,

It has been a long time since we last released a compilation – our previous one was back in 2020. For the 100th release of our label, we felt it was the perfect occasion to celebrate in great company! We invited many musicians who have collaborated with Dronarivm in the past to create joint tracks with an artist of their choice. The result is 24 uniquely diverse tracks that showcase the vast musical spectrum of the genre we generally call "Ambient."

We are proud to present Illuminations III, a compilation created as a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who has supported us over the years. This includes musicians, listeners, visual artists, photographers, designers, podcasters, reviewers, and everyone who has helped us grow and move forward.

Illuminations III features over two hours of outstanding music from leading ambient producers, and just like any true gift, it's completely free to download. Of course, if you wish, you can contribute any amount you find appropriate. All proceeds will go toward supporting and further developing our projects.

For those who prefer a physical format, the album is also available as a print-on-demand double CDr.

We hope you enjoy this release – a labor of love that took over six months to create. Thank you for your continued support!

Release date: 20th December 2024

The spirit of this album is introspection, the ability to stop everything around for a few seconds and reflect.

The absence of a common good as humanity. I believe that the proliferation of neoliberal governments and supranational corporations has brought a suffocating work logic, where productivity is god and workers are sacrificed to this deity, leading to the hyper-individualization of the person, where others are seen as outsiders to be defeated.

We are no longer part of something larger but have become an end in ourselves.

I see the widespread apathy toward the suffering of others as a consequence of the exaltation of the self over the communal. Thinking about others, being empathetic, requires time — time I cannot dedicate if all I think about is myself.

Today, the social mandate is to reach an unattainable potential, creating a constant state of frustration in individuals.

This idea of "being your own brand" turns us into just another item on the market shelf, where our social relationships lose sight of belonging, empathy, and the common good.

Institutions no longer represent us; everything is regulated by this post-modern and neoliberal logic.

To dedicate time to others, without expecting anything in return, is an act of resistance today.
