I'm wondering about the instruments at the beginning

seems like a sad, slow, medieval ballad.... 😍😍

Beautiful music, makes me imagine wondering what it'd be like with drums behind it...

Stars Of The Lid - A Meaningful Moment Through a Meaning(less) Process(Felix Kismet Remix)

For all the reasons that you should already know, and if not, then for the ones that will become apparent shortly, these words are extremely difficult for me to write. So, let’s get the challenging part out of the way now. Marcus Fjellström was a remarkable Swedish composer who has been an influence and a dear friend. I’ve met him on several occasions and was immediately embraced by his radiating bright energy, which seemed to be at odds with the dim music he composed. His audiovisual works left a permanent impression on my heart and mind, the most notable of which was his private performance for the Miasmah family in Berlin, on which he released Schattenspiele (2010) and Skelektikon (2017). He even made a gorgeous mix for me, which I listen to only when I miss him the most. So when, in September of 2017, Erik Skodvin brought me the terrible news of his untimely death (at an incredibly young age of only 37!), I was absolutely devastated. It’s been nearly impossible to listen to his music ever since. That, and of course, watching the AMC series called The Terror, for which Marcus composed the soundtrack at the end of his life. That is until today. On September 20th, Miasmah will release a posthumous double album of this final work, befittingly titled The Last Sunset Of The Year, collecting music originally composed for the above-mentioned show, with many pieces being available for the very first time. I’m absolutely honoured to be selected to premiere a track, with the official announcement coming out tomorrow.

CONTENT: ‘A Winged Victory For The Sullen’ is the first installment of the new collaboration between Stars Of The Lid founder Adam Wiltzie and L.A. composer Dustin O’Halloran. The duo agreed to leave the comfort zone of their home studios and develop the recordings with the help of large acoustic spaces, hunting down a selection of 9ft grand pianos that had the ability to deliver extreme sonic low end. Other traditional instrumentation was used including string quartet, French horn, and bassoon, but always juxtaposed is the sound of drifting guitar washed melodies. The recordings began with one late night session in the famed Grunewald Church in Berlin on a 1950s imperial Bösendorfer piano and strings were added in the historic East Berlin DDR radio studios along the River Spree. One last session on a handmade Fazioli piano in a private studio on the Northern cusp of Italy, before the final mixes took place in a 17th century villa near Ferrara with the assistance of Francesco Donadello. All songs were then processed completely analogue straight to magnetic tape. Their secret to harvesting new melodic structures from the thin air of existence was for the duo to push themselves to dangerous territory, realising that clear thinking at the wrong moment could stifle the compositions. The final result is seven landscapes of harmonic ingemination. In ‘Requiem For The Static King Part One’ – created in memory of the untimely passing of Mark Linkous – they have taken the age-old idea of a string quartet and then shot it out of a cannon to reveal exquisite new levels of sonic bliss. Of the 13 minute track ‘Symphony Pathétique’, Wiltzie says ‘after almost 20 years of struggling to create interesting ambient drone music, I feel like I have finally figured out what I am doing’. Notable guest musicians include Icelandic cellist Hildur Gudnadottir, as well as Erased Tapes label comrade Peter Broderick on violin. A Winged Victory For The Sullen is not a side project – it is the future of the late night record you have always dreamed of.

CONTEXT: On May 24th 2007, in Bologna, Italy, Adam was on tour and playing with the late Mark Linkous & his beloved Sparklehorse, on what would be their final European tour. That night Adam invited friend and colleague Francesco Donadello to see the concert, and Francesco's guest this evening was composer Dustin O'Halloran (Sofia Coppola’s ‘Marie Antoinette’ O.S.T.). Through a strange twist of backstage conversations surrounding passport cache conundrums, and love of Italian gastronomy, a curious friendship began that now has brought forth an offspring of truly curative compositions for the world to savour.

As announced by Pitchfork and Drowned In Sound the self-titled debut album of A Winged Victory For The Sullen will be released worldwide on September 9, 2011 via Erased Tapes Records (except for North America where it will be out on Kranky).

Masayoshi Fujita, the Berlin-based Japanese vibraphone player, also known under his alias el fog came to the attention of label founder Robert Raths a few years ago. Not only because the vibraphone is an intriguing instrument, but also the way Masayoshi treats his instrument and draws ethereal and layered sounds, is what truly attracted him to Masayoshi’s work.

Having released more ambient-based/electronic recordings of the vibraphone under el fog, Masa became more interested in the sound of the vibraphone itself. He started to compose acoustic pieces and released the first solo album under his real name, titled ‘Stories’, in early 2013. ‘Apologues’ sees Masayoshi for the first time use an array of instruments besides his lead instrument – such as the violin, cello, flute, clarinet, French horn, accordion, piano and snare drum played by friends, but arranged by Masa himself.

In addition to the mallets, Masayoshi often plays the vibraphone with a violin or cello bow, like on ‘Tears of Unicorn’ and ‘Knight and Spirit of Lake’. He would also place bead strings on the vibraphone bars to create an ambient shimmer that can be heard on songs like ‘Moonlight’ and ‘Swallow Flies High in the May Sky’. The latter was composed to let the clarinet express its characteristics and tell its story, whilst the vibraphone takes a supporting role. “The clarinet sounds very warm and soft and very ‘spring’ to me”, says Masa.

“With this album the main idea was to evoke images, atmospheres, sceneries and stories in the listener, the images that have accumulated in myself. At the same time it was an exploration of the unexplored beauty of the vibraphone, and also a pursuit of the charm of the instrumentation and the music itself. Erased Tapes releases a lot of great stuff and naturally became my favourite label of late. And I thought it would fit well to my music.” – Masayoshi Fujita

LOSCIL - Endless Falls

Ben Lukas Boysen shares a second single, the atmospheric yet hyper-dynamic Clarion, taken from his much anticipated new album Mirage out May 1. Opening with subtle piano and the delicate strings of cellist Anne Müller, it suddenly morphs into a colossal ensemble piece with heavy drums and electronics. 

· pre-order Mirage: https://idol.lnk.to/ben-lukas-boysen-mirage

"This song started as a simple piano line and while listening to it on loop over and over again some of the elements started to form one after the other, and depending on each other. I was working on a different song at the same time that had the drum section as a central instrument, and felt it was not going anywhere... In one of the sessions with Robert Raths (creative producer and founder of Erased Tapes) he suggested fusing the two songs together, which resulted in this faun-like version of Clarion after a few adjustments were made. It captured the foreshadowing character of the one piece, with the drive and rush-like feeling of the other piece, and therefore creating a very interesting tension" — Ben Lukas Boysen

The third album recorded under his own name, Mirage is Ben Lukas Boysen's most progressive and shape-shifting album to date. It follows 2013’s Gravity and the acclaimed 2016 full length Spells, a record as much admired by his peers as it was loved by fans that not only yielded remixes from Max Cooper and Tim Hecker, but also opened Jon Hopkins’ Late Night Tales compilation. Since then, Ben has been in demand for writing scores including his collaboration with cellist and composer Sebastian Plano, on the soundtrack for David OReilly’s landmark innovative video game Everything — the first video game ever to qualify for an Academy Award.

"With Spells and Gravity I was trying to hide the machines. On Mirage, I’m trying to hide the human”
