Rinnovare feat. Benoît Pioulard - To Be in the Grey is Okay
Taken from VA/Meditations 6
Limited Edition CD available here:
shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/m…tions-6

Mastered by Andrea Porcu
Release date: 12.3.2021

 
Rinnovare is the project of BC artist Matteo Neufeld. Despite the challenges that came with 2020, he graced the year with many releases. Accompanied on strings by partner Chloe Davidson, and production engineering form Andrew Judah. The first being his modern-classical / dream pop EP titled Aperturia. The next was a double single release with label Ambientologist, from the Netherlands. Followed after that was Rinnovare's re - release of his long sought-after record Suspended Animation. This being an album that was traced around many countries, over the span of six years. It evolved into being a dense, rhythmic & reflective collection of modern-classical, post-rock and ambient hybrid. During the summer of 2020, Rinnovare began to write & record Held Under All, the upcoming record being released on Shimmering Moods Records, from Amsterdam. This is Rinnovare's most nuanced, minimalist, calming & seductive album to date. Featuring acclaimed artist collaborations such as Benoît Pioulard, Voga & Bedroom, a cohesive & sprawling display of wash, texture & beauty has been manifested here. Mixed by Slow Meadow, and mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri, Rinnovare has continuously pursued crystal clear production aesthetic, contrasted with raw & organic atmosphere all over.

SqrtSigil - Matchhead
Taken from VA/Meditations 7
Limited Edition CD available here:
shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/m…tions-7

Mastered by Andrea Porcu
Release date: 12.3.2021

SqrtSigil is the solo project of Maciek Jaciuk (30 Kilo Słonca, Ak Uki, mothertape) and is one of the founders of the Plaża Zachodnia label. 

The project was founded in 2014, since then it has evolved both musically and in terms of equipment, in the meantime abandoning sequencers to play free impro. 
Since its inception, it has released several (mostly) cassettes, including for Swedish label Purlieu Recordings. and UK's Tone Burst. 
Noisy, crackling, experimental pulses are complemented by unreal and hypnotic ambient, where fragments of field recordings often play an important role, full of quiet conversations, sighs and whispers. Everything is submerged in fuzzy sound blurs, in which one can hear unidentified micro-sounds, textures, murmurs and rustles with emerging dub bass pulsations or fragments of beat. 
He performs live sporadically, as he convinces us, he treats it as playing "in the bedroom", to soothe the nerves after a day full of noise and chaos... In his free time he builds synths and finds joy in creating short audio-visual forms.

https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/meditations-7

Mastered by Andrea Porcu
Release date: 12.3.2021

Kagami Smile is from an industrial city a few hours from Chicago and spends some of his time in the futuristic sprawl of Shenzhen, China. He takes influence from shoegaze records as well as minimal techno labels such as Chain Reaction and Modern Love. His most recent output of music focuses on minimal meditative synthwork reminiscent of early Aphex Twin and strong nods to Japanese video game soundtracks as well as the concept of liminal spaces. His music reflects a series of recurring dreams had since 2017, that of a missed moment with a stranger. His compositions are usually filled with nostalgia and romance as well as a haze of urban solitude. He has released on labels such as Dream Catalogue, Tekres, SOVN, Gin&Platonic, as well as an upcoming album on Opal Tapes and Sores (Sound+Matter) from Sweden. He will also release an album on Shimmering Moods this year.

This record is about hard sadness and of heartbreak imbued with the humble expressions of the indescribable beauty of this existence which rings true through all of it, for all time. 

Musically, I am compelled toward long-form live improvisations that go on for 20-30 minutes. I then edit and manipulate and polish, carving and sculpting over and over, long days often for months on an album until it becomes a truer version of itself that was not there at conception. Much like life! I then pick the best section for the songs that infer their own structure. Also included on this album are short-form telescopic soundprints where I use a dronier and more layered approach. 

Some very personal meditations make up tracks 5 and 7 and 9 of Homeworld. During a very hard and also heart-breaking beginning to the New Year of 2020 (even before the pandemic!) I recorded the pieces Sadness Too Deep and Ode to Scotty allowing the expressions of both the pain and the beauty which rang so true then, still and always. Supporting the song Ode to Scotty is a long field recording I captured in our apple orchard on the afternoon of March 3, 2020, a full moon with very heavy grey weather. Soon afterwards came the very bad news. Two days later the music was improvised while meditating with these creatures’ songs and was originally a seventeen minute piece. 

Yes. Nature sounds. I am 100% addicted. Waters. Melodic winged-ones. Insects. So cliché and yet it melts my soul good. I love manipulating the recordings into a designed sound sometimes. In consort with the music it just puts me in a trance: when I am playing, when I am editing and afterwards as a listener! The combination of the piano-centric sounds and the earth samples can make one think of the new age style but these are very deliberately poised away from such deliberations to keep something I cannot put my finger on; perhaps a shying away from rhythm or repetitions; rather more like water flowing, moving over rocks; not as a clock ticking or a song singing. The exception is a new color appearing as Emerald Nymphs; this Hipnotic Earth composition uses tempo and bass and drum with inferred and sparse effects, a style I will be expanding with. The older Lakeboat is included here, another strangely hypnotic track whose call for the light of day is answered in Homeworld. I can listen to this track forever, it does something to me. I hope it does to you, too. 

(I would like to make a special shout-out here to Lars Nyquist for his phenomenal photographic image “in Hope” urtida.com. Also, a big thank you to Paul for supporting this album!!)

Versions for songs from my album Fkxt77 and a Good Start

Father's Lessons (Ambient Version)

Tiny Trees [all Defenceless Mix]

testing out the more, mmm, mellow? side of the non linear circuits 'digital filter simulator' (DFS)

patch notes: a noodle from sheep caught in the morphagene, which is then multed out to clouds in parasite granular (pitched all the way down) as well as the DFS (which is also being hit with purple + white noise mixed at the second input) + polivoks vcf (bandpass out) combo. this duo is crossfaded between each other and then randomly panned in the stereo field along with a second sheep noodle caught in the modcan cv record, quanta noise  and white noise. modulation spread out across the whole mess via 3 channels of random from batumi and maths ch1 through let's splosh (which is also cross modulating batumi and maths for extra weirdness)

last thing to note i suppose, is the DFS is not receiving a clock at its clock input, but rather using the morphagene loop as its clock due to internal normalization (or so says the panel?) the DFS gets more and more sputtery here the closer the rate knob reaches 0

my take on new Abul Mogard live track, I used original track as sample base for collage and mixing it into drone sounding track.
