"Inspired by the thick haze of the Ohio summer, Emerald Awakening explores the sonic realms embodied in the incandescent vapor hanging over the Cuyahoga Valley. As the awakening of spring permeates into every corner of the atmosphere, warm pads begin to take shape and form, backed by the gentle rhythm of the valley coming alive once more. Organic melodies layer the cloudy sky, through sun and storm, with a culmination of the gentle transition to autumn."

This album includes two remixes from Coppice Halifax and Shea McGilvray.

Light Sleeper - Side Of The Road Flashback

Release date (vinyl & digital format): 4th of November 2016

Inigo Kennedy’s relationship with Token spans the label’s existence. He set the mood for what was to come from the very first release: A refined, yet courageous excursion, instantly recognisable as fitting with his own sonic identity, cultivated over many years of experience. This sound has become definitive in the context of Token’s output ever since. After his previous contribution earlier this year, a record thematically obsessed with a line of obscure interstellar clouds, he’s back with another double A-side for our next release.
 
Surrender begins with a textured awakening. The intermixture of slow swells and attentively-dashed accents in a range of timbres guides us blindly towards a shocking, strident interruption when the percussion is suddenly introduced with full and resolute force. As the track continues Kennedy makes sense of the unexpected jolt on our behalf, and the two opposing inclinations become one. 
 
Castles In The Air retains a similar theme, with the kind of self-awareness that only a producer of Kennedy’s level of maturity can employ. Gloomy, lingering chords begin and then pause, forcing us to wait expectantly, with more than a moment lingering in reverb. When the full arrangement appears, it kicks at least twice as hard as the introduction could ever have prepared us for.

TOKEN67 - Inigo Kennedy - Surrender / Castles In The Air

PREMIERE > http://inverted-audio.com/premiere-yancitygurl-in-your-strange-worlds

@yancitygurl 'In Your Strange Worlds' speeds up the highway in a rage-fuelled race of cursed ghost ships and zombie crews. Oscillating from a hi-NRG Detroit electro kind of vibe to haunting string flights in a dash, it reveals as efficient as a full on emotional burner as it is of a proper propulsive floor weapon.

Slow Reveal is taken from "Paths", the new album by Darren Harper.

Limited edition cassettes and CD's in hand made packages available here: 

https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/paths

“A micro-world of textured electronics and voltage; a simple wind chime singing in a breeze” 
Created with a modular synthesizer and effect pedals, Paths is an account of missteps and error, a process of understanding; an unfolding. A discovery of oneʼs voice...a reflection of nature. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

darren harper's latest work is a joyous collage for all seasons; a delicate record that soothes and refreshes the spirit. 

kaleidoscopic chimes and playful bells tumble against each other. twinkling notes drift down in little flurries, then melt away as sunlit chords push aside the clouds. 

low, thrumming bokeh echoes bring distant mountaintops intimately close, then curve down into hushed forest floors, winds whispering through leaves overhead. tiny layers of loops and quiet delays, jumbled melodies, sparse crackling branches, and somber swells invite contemplation of these fragile spaces. 

each moment is cherished, each song reveals new life: ephemeral, yet enduring. the ice breaks, slowly gliding away as the river shakes off its long slumber. 

never obscuring, always revealing; these intertwining paths abound with the hopeful promise that spring is coming.

A small excerpt from a recent Expanded Cinema project by Dani Kirby ( Keyboards/Voice) and Mat ward (Bass), presented Live at MONA FOMA festival 2021 in Hobart, Tasmania. 
Project Synopsis/Media release....

The Smiling Madame Beudet
Germain Dulac, 1923

Kirby/Ward present the the latest chapter in their ongoing investigation both the history of sound in the era of silent cinema and the pioneering role female artists played (most often overlooked) in the avant garde. They have written and will perform a new score for voice, piano and bass to accompany Germain Dulac’s ground breaking 1923 film The Smiling Madame Beudet.
The Smiling Madame Beudet is credited as the first Feminist movie. The protagonist Madame Beudet is trapped in a suffocating marriage with her only escape being music and the fantasy that she lives in a different world. Her husband is domineering, boorish and frequently pretends to shoot himself (sometimes in front of guests) to taunt and belittle her. Far from portraying Madame Beudet as a victim it casts her as a heroine who, rather than submitting to a life of cruelty, seeks to assert her desires and free herself from the bonds of domestic misogyny.
Dulac uses groundbreaking cinematic artistry to embellish and add detail to both the narrative and the investigation of sexism and gendered roles through techniques such as super-imposition, ultra contrasting of focus, slow-motion, repetition of shots, abstraction and extreme camera angles. These techniques powerfully enforce the Dulac’s desire to show both the oppressiveness of the situation and the absolute need for an imagining of a better life.
The compositional approach focuses on highlighting the sub-text and philosophical underpinnings of the film with emphasis on the meta-narrative behind the protoganist’s story - which is a timeless critique of marriage, gender and sexism. Cinematically this is expressed through Dulac’s focus on Madame Beduet’s internal world as she moves between the disparity of escapism and reality. It is her complex voice and thoughts, as a metaphor for the broader issues of the film that Kirby/Ward bring to life through a dynamic score that incorporates multiple genres ranging from ultra minimalist melody all the way to deafening sub-bass drone.
