Provenance video: https://youtu.be/ceSChWU-10I

Our 20th release comes from @ashwellwoodland out of Vancouver which is the ambient project from Laine Butler. 460215 is a touching album mourning the passing of his father. Experiencing the loss gradually led to creating a musical outlet for the difficult days. Modular synthesizer was the main instrument used in the recordings, for its sheer possibility for boundless, simultaneous expressions. Ashwell Woodland’s creation of generative melodies triggered experimentation and sculpting of sonic palettes over the course of time. This was time spent grieving but also channeling the grief into a healing album through endless hours of movements in the modular’s capabilities.

“My father was the one who introduced me to the guitar. Playing on his tattered Yamaha acoustic guitar he probably purchased in the mid-70's in Northern Canada. I imagine that it provided him with much warmth and companionship in the isolated and barren town in which he resided. He taught me that music can be a tool for personal growth and to better one's mental health. Later on in his life, he returned to music to work through his suffering. This record is dedicated to my father. I hope you hear the humanity within the music and are able to transcend it. May you obtain a glimpse of the intangible.” -Ashwell Woodland

Our 21st release comes from multi-disciplinary artist, @ruby_singh. The album was built and shaped using field recordings captured on the beautiful west coast of Turtle Island. Ruby also used plantwave technology to convert electrical data from plants and fungi into midi, Uno, Arutria & Micrologue synths, and analogue delay pedals. It's a 5 part audio/visual series aligned with the solar cycle. It began on last year's winter solstice, and will continue forward until this year's winter solstice.

"This suite was created to be a source of reflection, respice and rejuvenation. Reflecting on our relationships and connection with ourselves, each other and the more than human world. Rejuvenating a sense of wonder for the natural world and how we might be able to move into right relations with the lands, waters and sky that nurture us." -Ruby Singh

Polyphonic Garden: Suite 1 out now: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/rubysingh/polyphonic-garden-suite-1

This offering of light and sound is to mark when we experience earlier sunrises, later sunsets, softer winds and sprouting plants. We hope this allows space for you to explore your relationship to the sky and all sky beings. From the outstretched budding branches to the feathered relations and all of our sky kin.  As the light grows stronger, may we draw on that fortitude to feel into and create courageous spaces in our lives to press forward towards justice. This piece contains a dawn chorus field recording from the shared ancestral and present day territories of the Klahoose, Tla’amin, and Homalco Nations. This is part 2 of a 5 part solar cycle series marking our journey around the sun. All love to you dear ones.

Album forthcoming on the 2021 Summer solstice.

Sensing Airwaves vol. 9 (feat Desire Process)

Video: https://youtu.be/w3MDeLBO4bg
Bandcamp: https://sensingwaves.bandcamp.com/album/meteor
All other streaming: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/shamik/meteor

Our 22nd release comes from label founder, @shamik. Meteor expresses the heavy feelings created by unexpected events that spiral into a deeper sadness. The song’s first recordings were created in 2018. To trigger different workflow ideas, and after feeling overwhelmed with too many electronics, Shamik simplified his production and turned to one synth. He pressed record and put down layer after layer. He then sampled and resampled the audio to make soundscapes out of the synth melodies. Returning to this project while experiencing long covid, Shamik finally finished Meteor, nearly 3 years later.

Shamik - Meteor (SW022)

Bandcamp: https://sensingwaves.bandcamp.com/album/no-lords
All other streaming: https://ffm.to/heroshe-nolords

Our fifth release comes from http://soundcloud.com/heroshe out of Vancouver, BC. It is a deep melodic piece with synths, drones, and subtle drum hits. The song exudes how he was feeling after moving into a new home. Following a few live takes in an empty room with simply a Minitaur and a couple keyboards, a musical atmosphere of the night turning into day was created. 

“The concept was to use the least amount of drums as possible. The name 'No Lords' comes from the lead synth that’s playing throughout the song. It reminds me of a horn, something that announces or accompanies a Lord/ king type figure. The tone is fairly moody, so I like to think of it as the passing of a Lord. To us we gain a sense of freedom, sorrow, or happiness from something that was once binding us...but now no longer is.” -Heroshe
