Tell Me Something Good (prod.  by Carneyval feat. Sophia)

Holocene

Pedro Pimentel returns to Cryo Chamber with his second album on the label, Self Destruction Themes. This time with help from Amund Ulvestads beautiful cello performances, Simon Heaths textural piano work and Apocryphos atmospheric distortion layers. 

This is a massive album of cold but inviting atmospheres, filtered noise, acoustic layering and sweeping textural layers. The sad theme throughout the album paints images of a world depopulated and of overgrown and dilapidated cityscapes.

Wordclock - Lack Of Language

[gterma010] : Mathias Grassow - Alchemystery

Freestyle recordings are the order of the day as Mathias treads an improvised path into the colourful and enigmatic realms of the ever present mystery that is music. Traditionalists and purists beware, these sound sculptings will challenge any drone-ambient prejudice.

Tracklist

Alchemy Suite Part I : Adrift on a Strange Wind

1.1 - Veiled Auranauts (16:48)
1.2 - Obscured by a Falling Light (42:21)

Alchemy Suite Part II : Inside the Inner

2.1 - In a Temple of Longing (43:28)
2.2 - A Ring of Standing Stones (25:30)

[gterma010] : Mathias Grassow - In A Temple Of Longing

All hail the purity and splendor of the four mighty protectors of our world. Tirelessly their eyes and ears guard the dominion of man and stave off evil intruders, demons and the grasping hand of death. Holding court on the lower slopes of Mount Sumeru, in Caturmaharajika, the mighty four each govern one of the cardinal directions, protecting the dharma and the virtuous.

Tracklist

1. His Highness Most Precious Lord Namthöse ... musical interpretation by A.P

2. His Highness Most Honourable Lord Chenmizang ... musical interpretation by Earth Vibration

3. His Highness Most Exquisite Lord Yülkhorsung ... musical interpretation by Mathias Grassow

4. His Highness Most Noble Lord Phakyepo ... musical interpretation by Indo

[gterma005] : Mathias Grassow - His Highness Most Exquisite Lord Yülkhorsung

The two bearded Swedes join forces on this collaborative album. Black Corner Den is the result of long winter studio sessions separated by the atlantic ocean but made possible by the internet. Lonely moments in the company of the night lamp, overlooking the messy pile of tape loops while the machines hummed and the piano played until the morning. 

Exploring the opium dens at the end of the 19th century this album takes you deep into the soothing dreams of dead poets. 

"The streets lay silent as the floor creeks under your bare feet. The old loft lit by a wax candle, it's light dancing over your oak desk. You grab the vial of black ink and the leather bound book as you scurry out the door into the humid night. You pass trails of fire as the lamplighter tends to the myriad lanterns adorning the bridge. A left turn leads you down a set of stone stairs where the satin clad lounge welcomes you in. 

Sweet smoke lingers in here where gentlemen gather to dream about the black sea. Your booth at the far end stands prepared. A pipe, tinderbox and purple pillow for a tired head. You have a friend tonight and it calls itself the Black Corner Den." 

Pär Boström’s dreamlike soundscapes combines with the careful melodies and elegant structures of Simon Heath. The perfect soundtrack for decadent nights or introverted reading sessions, preferably combined. 

Available in 24 bit & Vinyl 

Written, Produced, Performed: Simon Heath & Pär Boström

Dead Melodies is back with his second album on Cryo Chamber, The Foundations of Ruin. Following on from his last album, Legends of the Wood we return to the isle of mist and dig deeper into the narrative. 

"The wrought iron gate creaks open to the overgrown driveway. Up ahead, flickers of lightning make out the hazy silhouette of a large house veiled in a dense fog. Shelter! Finally, somewhere to rest your head after that terrifying ordeal in the wood. 

The house, a ruinous crumbling remnant of better days stands lonesome in the unruly grounds; like a keeper bestowed with time itself. An ornate wooden door hangs broken on its hinge, the windows cracked and vines creep wildly from every crevice like tendrils from the netherworld. Something definitely feels wrong here, but with hours till dawn and the relentless storm wailing through the surrounding trees, the will to survive the night defeats all reason to fear this shady forgotten sanctuary. 

Stepping inside the once stately ruin, the great hall teems with decay and an age of sedimentary dust covers every surface; any remnants of life that once knew this place are long gone. Doors and stairwells stem off in all directions. With a creaking silence and a deathly stillness consuming the air, you contemplate which way to go. But then, a noise… is someone there? The temperature drops and a familiar chill runs down your spine…." 

Recommended for fans of soundtrack like experiences and cinematic dark ambient.

Love Theme

Kirill Mazhai - Love Theme

Made one morning in a Sydney studio thanks to a cancelled recording session. I didn't have the equipment with me for making music in my usual way but I wanted to create something that day and not let the session go to waste. 

I thought about the process of Pointillism, that the durations between the notes are the cause of variation and motion. Lately I've realised that I'm more interested in the process than the final product. I thought about how I could recreate my usual process using what was available in the studio. 

Each instrument was recorded separately, focusing on single notes and short melodies with plenty of silence in between. Time was not measured, but felt. There is no tempo, form or compositional narrative. Instead the harmonies and melodies form through the uncontrolled combination of single notes and short phrases.

INFINITUM // Until Dawn

Federico Mosconi - Memories Not Memories, taken from the new album "Light not Light"

Format: Digital and CD
Limited Edition Cdr / 50 copies / Handmade sleeves / Hand numbered / Black and Brown Kraft paper / High quality pro duplicated CDr's / No repress 

Pre Order: https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/light-not-light

In Light not Light, as the titles suggest, each track could be, or not be, each draws a scenario where the listener is the subject, and the composer has already completed his task. 
The sound, too, comes from an instrument (classical guitar) that is no longer itself, shaped and transformed by electronics into its future projection. Sometimes you can find traces of natural sounds, as if to preserve a connection with the original idea, sometimes I inserted some field recordings, as little suggestions.

Campfire Stories 57 (Metamorphosis) by @owlfromdeepspace

~ About The Story ~

Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,
Seems nowhere to alight: the withered air
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,
And veils the farm-house at the garden's end.
The sled and traveler stopped, the courier's feet
Delayed, all friends shut out, and housemates sit
Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed
In a tumultuous privacy of storm.

The Topologies of Blue

Bill Seaman - Isolated Reflections / Dark Slippages / Falling Inward / A Collection Of Repercussions

As the harvest season is over the cold and dark autumn is already creeping upon us. In October, the Hunter's Moon sits high atop the sky, bathing the landscape in its eerie bright light. The hunters would welcome this change which gives them a better chance of catching their next prey. Meanwhile, the people sit by candle light in their cottages on the edge of the forest, awaiting their soon return. Deep inside the woods, others bide their time.
