This month's mix comes from pianist Lorenz Weber (@lorenzweber). He has created a beautiful thematic mix for us titled "Silence in your body", where he takes us on a journey through ambient, piano, field recordings, and of course, silence.

Subtempo Mix 034 - Lorenz Weber

Live @ Nature Tales Studio 
Nature Tales Ambient Nights # 3 
11.12.2021

The Universe is infinite in every direction. Up to the stars and down to the atoms, layer upon layer of beauty is there to be found and admired. The Earth Viewing Experiment is a project about that path of discovery. Sounds of instruments and everyday objects alike are deconstructed and transformed, to reveal the hidden beauty within. A Train can become a singing voice, a harp can become a timeless texture. These transmutations are interwoven with field recordings from around the world and live synthesizer play into a journey without motion, an invitation to venture deeper into the self.

Tracklist:
The Sleeping Giant
A lovely Harp
Archsky
Cloudsipping
Passing
Microscope
Leaf’s Dream
Planar
The Textured Air

Nature Tales Live Set #22: The Earth Viewing Experiment - The Inward Horizon

As the night becomes late, before the sun arise, a special time is appointed by physics. It's described in religions as the time of the gods.
The time of the dreamers.
This mix is a dedication to falling deep down the rabbit hole, the tunnels of the night, the passion and vibrations that control.
Until the sun suddenly is about to glow like a galactic ember.

The set was recorded in these hours of new year 2022.
Unfortunately the recording was lost, so Ishtadi re-entered the hours.

Nature Tales Mix #22: Ishtadi - Night Control

Andrew Heath & James Osland - The Closer You Get, The More I Miss You
Taken from the forthcoming album "Once we were all here and nowhere else"

PRE ORDER:
Once we were all here and nowhere else
by Andrew Heath and James Osland

CD/Digital

https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/once-we-were-all-here-and-nowhere-else

This stunning collaboration between Andrew Heath and James Osland is overwhelmingly informed by both a dense, drifting landscape and a love of process - a slow tone collage. Here lies beauty and delicacy - an intimate tracery of piano notes and modular tones woven between field recordings, organic electronics and shimmering guitar. ‘Once we were all here and nowhere else’ hardly dares to breathe sometimes, as it leaves you suspended in the quiet, shining air. 

James and Andrew were drawn together by a mutual respect for each other's work in the ambient music field. Both are UK based artists. Andrew has released several albums and EPs on Disco Gecko, Whitelabrecs, Rusted Tone Recordings, Elm Records and Chihei Hatakeyama’s Japanese label, White Paddy Mountain. He has collaborated with among others, the legendary Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Dutch ambient guitarist, Anne Chris Bakker and electronica artist, Banco de Gaia. James Osland not only runs the boutique cassette label, Elm Records but releases as an artist in his own right having worked with such labels as Unknown Tone Records, Whitelabrecs, Flaming Pines and Rusted Tone Recordings to name a few. His work seeks to explore our relationships with sound, memory and place through a variety of different sonic processes. 

Both artists have been quietly working on material together for the last few years so expect more from this wellspring of beautiful and dreamlike work.

Jet Jaguar - Griselinea Lucida
Taken from the forthcoming album "Room tones"

PRE ORDER:
Room tones
by Jet Jaguar

CD/Digital

https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/room-tones

In sound work for films and so on, recording a "room tone" is where you record the space where the action is going to happen, but while nothing is happening. I don't have any personal experience in that world, but I feel like I'm forever interested in music where not much is happening, so 'Room Tones' made me laugh - a collection of recordings that are barely there but still serve a point? I mean, I'm not Steve Roden or anything, but the name clicked. I'm usually looking for double-meanings in an album name and it hardly needs to be said at this point that any music made in the last few years is probably in some way about being tucked away indoors. So tones made in rooms, made for rooms? Sure. 



When I was writing about my last album on Shimmering Moods, 'Recording', I compared music-making to a diary. Two and a half years later, I still really strongly feel that same sense. I don't write with a project or release in mind, usually - if anything I've been working hard on not being too bound by what I've already done - but it still all comes from me and I typically select things for coherence. That seems like something I expect from a diary. Perhaps where the metaphor falls down is that a diary is chronological, while with 'Room Tones' I'm pulling together finished bits and pieces I feel work together. It was 2007 when I made the recording that gives 'Ōokayama Cats At Night' its name, sitting on the back porch of my apartment, waiting for the washing to finish. In contrast, I made 'Tonal Drift' as soon as I recorded the korimako that showed up to make some noise in the garden at my current place. And while most of this music was completed around the same time, one track is maybe five years older than the others. 


As always, thanks to all who listened or supported me in other ways, especially Amanda, Adrien, Tim, Shanan, Jenny, Andy, Stuart, and all my family. Times being as they have been, thanks to little online communities like the Disquiet Junto, AEMC, and lines.

Something Inevitable 
by Kittylung & EMBASSY

CD/Digital

Limited to 40 CD's, handmade covers, various colors available, hand numbered:

https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/something-inevitable

"Kittylung & EMBASSY is a collaboration between Chicago-based musician, Max Reikosky (he/him), and Portland-based artist, Toby Alden (they/them). After years of creating digitally art-damaged sound collages in the noise outfit micheal cushion and producing ambient works under their respective solo monikers, Kittylung and EMBASSY, Reikosky and Alden have teamed up once again to create an album of atmospheric, electroacoustic pieces inspired by the environmental perils of the anthropocene. Stylistically situated somewhere between Cluster’s Kosmische experiments, 12k’s sleek minimalism, and the spacious psychedelia of MFS Records’ early trance recordings, Kittylung & EMBASSY manage to create sonic spaces that evoke both the eerie stillness of empty, post-pandemic dance floors and the uncanny soundscapes of a world forever transformed by climate change."

Kittylung & Embassy - Membrane Breaking

"The forest tends to leave us alone, making our experience more intense. The internal begins to be seen in inseparable connection with the external. Turning off the control and watching how fantasy draws kaleidoscopes of images that completely capture us with their being for a while and dissolve without a trace"

Line notes by Lakshmi Vyshnavee:
Mirror Lake has collective restraints of invigorating atmospheric contexture and finest ambient sound art. When the world of sequencing and atmospheric ambiences entwine, they reveal a magical journey of altered states of musical reality. Experience the space of dreamy landscapes and long ambient notes where you transcend through a serene yet deep connection to nature and the cosmic frequencies.

Welcome to the 64th Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics.

This monthly released podcast brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer.
It's the first sunday of january and the first Ambient Sessions for 2020 and that means a brand new session!

This months set is again a reprise of a set that I released back in the day in 2013. Originally it was released as Deep Electronics Podcast #25 and was mixed by monO.  It deserves a proper place in the Ambient Sessions to get listened again. Darky tunes starts his set and it builds up to clarity in sounds eventually taking it to a slide of dubtechno to the end.
