@hviledag

When we heard his “Chant” rework from Kumi Takahara, we knew he had to be a part of our label. So, we are very happy to have him here today ahead of future releases later this year. 

Some words from the artist about the set, “I wanted to tie together a wide collection of recent inspirations. This is all music that I think relates to my Hviledag project in one way or another. Listeners can expect a journey of reflective drones, cold electronics, woeful ecstasy and acoustic timbres”.

Ambient Sessions # 28 - Michihiro Sotomura

This release grew organically from an afternoon jam session at Johan's house in Berkeley, CA in June 2016. The basis for Loqui was recorded that day. Inspired by the energy of our first session, we went on to record and produce the rest of the EP by meeting on weekends and evenings to work around the schedule of our full-time jobs. Solis was the last track to take shape, and illustrates all of what we learn in the process of working together, as well as the close friendship that has developed between us. 

This self-titled EP is a first attempt at taking the listener on a reflective journey. We are incredibly excited to continue this adventure through new releases and live performances in 2017.

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

Waterforms is a 60 minute longform track composition that experiments the dilatation of sound (in the true sense of the word) within a scenario that can be for example near a lake or on the shores of an isolated sea, still uncontaminated, embraced by a slight modular synthesis manipulation.. 
Waterforms is a work that must be listened to with a certain attention. 
It will transport you to another dimension, without moving from your chair.

Shimmering Moods @ Red Light Radio 14.2.2019

Silent Season is proud to present Segue's third full-length LP with the label. On his new album, Jordan Sauer explores a new facet of West Canadian natural history. Four thousand years ago, Western Canada's First Nations people migrated into the fjords and rainforests carved out by the retreating glaciation of the last Ice Age. The Island is a tribute to Canada's prehistory and the spiritual journey of a people entering a forever-altered landscape to call their home.

While Segue's last album very much explored a cross section journey of British Columbia from the mountains to the sea, The Island explores the hidden coastlines and inlets that pepper a still-mysterious landscape, fragile in its uniqueness and isolation.

The album features new tricks on full display in addition to the signature, instantly recognizable sounds of Segue's music. "Mirage" goes full post-rock at the end with a gliding climax of guitar over a gorgeous pad of dubby synths. "Beacon Point" swings like a stone skipping on the glassy surface of a hidden lake in the Strathcona Region. "Desolation Sound" features an almost-acid synth line that weaves in and out like the interlocking patterns on a Salish cedar basket.

Throughout the album, each song spreads out beautifully as a reflection of the place or thing it's named after and paints a stunning portrait of BC's natural wealth. At first glance it seems like a tourist's guide, but when you listen deeper, The Island blossoms into something deeply personal and moving–a sonic imprint of places in relation to culture. One listen will put you right on a remote Island in the wilderness, surrounded by ancient trees and stories from generations long forgotten.

The album features an analogue mix down and mastering on tape through a Studer A80, ½ inch tape machine by Stefan Betke of Scape Mastering. The Island is available on limited editions 2x12" black vinyl, CD, and digital formats.

Segue ~ Mirage [SSCD23]

Flexagon is a Guernsey-based sound mangler and musical instrument collector. He is also an experienced DJ, music producer, sound engineer and composer. As a DJ he is known for playing long eclectic and psychedelic sets spanning multiple genres, equally at home playing ambient and chillout as he is with dancefloor-friendly music.
Flexagon’s own music productions are increasingly esoteric and wide-ranging. Recent musical compositions have moved well away from four to the floor material towards the ambient and downtempo realms. Along with this has come the opportunity to compose for orchestral instruments. His first piece for nine string players, piano and found sound backing recording had its premiere performance in October 2018.
The new album, 7 Nocturnes East, is due out 24.1.2020.
7 Nocturnes East will have an accompanying visual and video art exhibition featuring the work of seven artists. At The Greenhouse, Guernsey Museum, Candie Gardens, Guernsey - more info soon.
