New track from Moss Covered Technology; forthcoming on Fluid Audio...

Dartmoor! thou wert to me, in childhood's hour, 
A wild and wondrous region. Day by day 
Arose upon my youthful eye they belt 
Of hills mysterious, shadowy, clasping all 
The green and cheerful landscape sweetly spread 
Around my home; and with a stern delight 
I gazed upon thee. How often on the speech 
Of the half-savage peasant have I hung, 
To hear of rock-crowned heights on which the cloud 
For ever rests; and wilds stupendous swept 
By mightiest storms; of glen, and gorge, and cliff, 
Terrific, beetling o'er the stone-strewed vale; 
And giant masses, by the midnight flash 
Struck from the mountain's hissing brow, and hurled 
Into the foaming torrent; and of forms 
That rose amid the desert, rudely shaped 
By Superstition's hands when time was young; 
And of the dead, the warrior dead, who sleep 
Beneath the hollowed cairn!  My native fields, 
Though peerless, ceased to please.  The flowery vale, 
The breezy hill, the river and the wood, 
Island, reef, headland, and the circling sea, 
Associated by the sportful hand 
Of Nature, in a thousand views diverse, 
Or grand, or lovely, -to my roving eye 
Displayed in vain their infinite of charms; 
I thought on thy wild world, -to me a world,- 
Mysterious Dartmoor, dimly seen, and prized 
For being distant and untrod; and still 
Where'er I wander'd, -still my wayward eye 
Rested on thee!

In sunlight and in shade, 
Repose and storm, wide waste! I since have trod 
Thy hill and dale magnificent. Again 
I seek thy solitudes profound, in this 
Thy hour of deep tranquillity, when rests 
The sunbeam on thee, and thy desert seems 
To sleep in the unwonted brightness, calm, 
But stern; for though the spirit of the Spring 
Breathes on thee, to the charmer's whisper kind 
Thou listenest not, nor ever puttest on 
A robe of beauty, as the fields that bud 
And blossom hear thee. Yet I love to tread 
They central wastes when not a sound intrudes 
Upon the ear, but rush of wing or leap 
Of the hoarse waterfall. And oh, 'tis sweet 
To list the music of thy torrent-streams; 
For thou too hast thy minstrelsies fro him 
Who from their liberal mountain-urn delights 
To trace thy waters, as from source to sea 
They rush tumultuous. Yet for other fields 
Thy bounty flows eternal. From thy sides 
Devonia's rivers flow; a thousand brooks 
Roll o'er they rugged slopes; -'tis but to cheer 
Yon Austral meads unrivalled, fair as aught 
That bards have sung, or Fancy has conceived 
'Mid all her rich imaginings: whilst thou, 
The source of half their beauty, wearest still 
Through centuries, upon they blasted brow, 
The curse of barrenness.

Notgoodenough & SVSH - Soundnum22

If, 20 years ago, you told me that I'd still be writing about ambient music, I think I would have simply laughed. How much could be said, not just with words but also with these sounds? But as the years appear to speed up, I find myself immersed in it much more (even as I see so many other publications slowly disappear), discovering new layers, space and people who have another story to convey, one that I am happy to be a part of. Regular followers of this site will, without a doubt, recognise my personal connection with the present moment, often hoping to convince myself and others that we should focus on what is instead of how it was before and certainly instead of how it could be. How could it possibly be any other way? How could we not be here and now, experiencing all that's happening around us as it could only be? Are there better times ahead of us, or is it only doomsdays? And does it really matter when we get there in the end? Okay, I'll pause here for a time and focus on the music, premiering for you a piece by Austin-based ambient artist TJ Dumser, who releases music under his Six Missing moniker. This piece is titled "Guidance", and it is taken from his upcoming full-length, Here For Now. Across the twelve pieces on the album, soft pads, swirls, and swooshes are echoed in a faint, reverb-drenched ambient calm, sometimes accompanied by the quiet acoustic guitar strums, sometimes allowed to simply expand into infinite indistinct space. It's in this space where I find myself writing these words. Here for now... and hopefully for a little bit more...

Apollo welcomes the return of Sieren

Matthias Frick AKA Sieren returns to Apollo with his most personal EP to date.

The ‘Fading Memory EP’ showcases Frick’s blissed out post bass atmospherics as they delve deep into bittersweet emotions and dissolving memories.

’Move On’ opens the release, with cycling plagent pads, are counterpointed by dark bass and bumping percussion, ‘In Limbo’ introduces nervous unease through swelling side chained 2-step drums hissing ambiance and crystalline pads. ‘Break Sum 1’ provides the EP’s most heartfelt moment, yearning vocals and an uplifting melodic synth figure glisten with light for a beautiful soundscape. ‘Two Faces’ keeps the mood reflective with ‘verb drenched pads punctured by skittering, playful drum programming. ‘Dissolve’ rounds out the EP in similarly emotive territory, angelic yet melancholic and cycling female vocals.

This is richly textured and intricately programmed electronica sure to satisfy fans of Burial, dBridge, Synkro with its soulful sincerity and warmth.
