BlackHole The Ocean - NEW TRACK

Dark ambient soundscapes for you pleasure

DARK AMBIENT - TITANOTHERIDAE

Wil Bolton's 'Maemi' takes its title from the Korean word for cicadas. Recorded live at Cafe OTO, London during the Home Normal label's Homenormalism festival on 3 August 2013, Wil weaves effected guitar drones, synthesizer, music box, effects pedals and environmental sounds creating a slow moving dronescape. The environmental sounds - timber mill machinery, traffic, and the buzz of cicadas - were recorded in Incheon, South Korea in August 2012, during an artist residency at the Incheon Art Platform.

Wil Bolton / Maemi (Preview)

Leigh Toro has been producing music for the past twenty years.  Back in the day he recorded under the guise of Flotel and released works on the excellent Expanding Records.  More recently he has been recording under his own name and has had albums out on Eilean Records and Handstitched.  We are excited here at Rural Colours to bring you his latest work Layers of Ash, an album of frayed granular resonances.

Layers of Ash started life as a series of short improvisations which were then woven together to create more developed pieces.  Leigh tells us that he is currently producing longer form pieces of music that explore the textural qualities of digital distortion, bit reduction and resonance. He enjoys exploring the balance between the harsh noise and more subtle delicate sounds and how that balance can evolve over a longer period than he has worked on before.

Eternell & endlesstrains - Over the Mountains

from 'Karma' [CD|LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den345
available on all formats at http://denovali.com/mansur

MANSUR is the newly initiated project by Jason Kohnen (ex-The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble) joined by Dimitry El-Demerdashi (ex-Phurpa) and introducing Martina Hórvath on vocals. The sound of MANSUR navigates between the waters of musical fantasy and reality - it morphs and blends traditional instrumentation with modern day electronica.

Horváth, El-Demerdashi and Köhnen return to their otherworldly worldbuilding with their debut album ‘Karma’ on Denovali. MANSUR leads the listener into mystical and magical unknowns, that lie far past the realms of material perception.

As astronomer Carl Saga once wrote “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known”.  Universal lessons of life, brought by teachings and teachers of ages. Unimaginary worlds in all our capacities of being created.  MANSUR is the transformational vessel guiding you to these non-physical realms. The realms you seek are already there, its up to you to find them.
