This is a story about curiosity.
When wandering through nature, I quickly find out that I am in no control. This is essential because then I can freely indulge in its spontaneity, revelation, fruitfulness and those mystical shows which nature performing for us. I am just a sole floating observer with a open-minded devotion to dive into the pores and immerse into details and meanings.
My way was to consciously trip on the nature and let the unconscious do the work. By that I was sure that I don’t know anything and was ready to curiously absorb all the magnificent moving distractions. And that’s how the album was unfolding - I just wander and the wonders open up themselves.
The whole journey was beautifully exhausting, filled with various versatile living beings “who do not sweat and whine about their condition, nor lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins”.

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!!)

shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com

Kittylung is the solo project from Maxwell Reikosky from Seattle, WA. The majority of this album was made while he was living in Nairobi, Kenya. 

"Emotional sound palettes crafted on my Nairobi balcony, with a cheap guitar bought from the local mall. Some days there was smog and others I could hear distant singing. I would reflect on how our surroundings are ever in flux and contrast, shedding diverse signals in a landscape that is uncannily whole. How we feel in any moment is contradictory as we are pulled by the healing, pain, tranquility, and chaos that runs through everything. The result is more intuitive than articulable. These songs are projections of that process, and therefore build on the environment from which they came."

Multi-instrumentalist composer and producer Drexler curates an eclectic Contemplative Mix for us featuring stunning tracks from the likes of Roomful Of Teeth, Nicholas Britell,  Rival Consoles, John Hopkins, Vessel, Nils Frahm to BPMoore and much more.

About The Mix:
"This mix contains a collection of pieces by artists from all over the world, from my hometown Australia to Mongolia to Iceland. I wanted to acknowledge pioneers like Sigur Ros and Nils Frahm in the ambient/modern classical world that have influenced me in the past as well as emerging acts like Alistair Sung and BPMoore that inspire me today. As a composer for film/TV/advertising, I also wanted to share artists I've discovered through movies and TV such as Nicholas Britell, Colin Stetson, Roomful of Teeth. Hearing Roomful of Teeth live at St Giles Church (Barbican) in 2018 was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I even discovered the track by Vessel through the movie trailer for the Korean film, The Handmaiden. Thanks for inviting me to create this mix."

Alex Smalley aka Olan Mill returns to Shimmering Moods with his new album. 

Captured throughout 2019, Citation Index was layered together from recordings of guitar, synthesiser and voice. 
Energy has become a theme in my work. The albums titles and artwork are based around common methods of energy production. It seems our mastery of physical energy has accelerated many things, so the slow movements of this album aim to counter that in some small way.
