We welcome Sussex based Aatom and his beautiful organic ambient to Lamour Records. Label head Slim Vic has transformed his music into a modern classical remix. The original track was written about Haumea, a dwarf planet in the kuiper belt. It is weirdly egg shaped and covered in ice. What if the ice would melt? Could it be capable of sustaining life? A life, albeit weird, with elongated lifeforms due to reduced gravity. The planet is named after a goddess of fertility.

@Slim-Vic fits over the space echo from the stable to @Motormannen and lets the dub take a victory lap at a half broken pace. A golden opportunity for endless gallop mixes.

Farewell To Dunkeld was written by Christopher during a residency in Dunkeld in Scotland and is released on his album 1000 Years. The song's waltz beat connected with producer Slim Vic, who began arranging and remixing the song into a stripped-down version where the folk sounds are mixed with ambient and a touch of the modern classical genre.

The remix is the first time Lamour and Barrackas Records have collaborated and we can look forward to more future releases where folk and electronic sound in unison.

From Ecuador to Sweden and back.
The very prominent DJ and producer Diego Narvaez from Quito in Ecuador puts his dance floor beats to rest and steps into the beautiful world of ambient music. With his remix, Swedish Slim Vic adds a Nordic sound of forest and desolation.

“From nowhere we came
 Born of stardust and flame 
A cosmic creation, magnificent and rare
 Our origins unknown, yet everywhere

From nowhere we dream 
Of things beyond our mortal scheme 
Of distant worlds and far-off places 
Of love and hope that time holds

From nowhere we love
 With a heart that beats from above 
A boundless force that fills our soul 
And makes us feel truly whole

From nowhere we return 
To the cosmos that we yearn
 Our atoms disperse in the void 
A journey that we can’t avoid

But from nowhere we’ll rise 
Once again, to touch the skies To dance among the galaxies 
And revel in our cosmic reveries

For we are made of stars,
 A testament to the universe’s scars
 A reminder of its infinite grace
 And its never-ending embrace”

The completely acoustic song Lille now gets a new costume by Swedish producer Slim Vic. The acoustic sound is still there but is mixed with electronic layers that lead the melodies to go in and out of their roles, like a starry sky on an early spring night.

Sometimes in life things fall into a perfect circle. One such example is the project ‘HIND’ by acclaimed Swedish Grammy nominated musicians Sebastian Mullaert and Henrik Frendin, constituting the pinnacle of over 40 years of combined research and creative explorations in the space of contemporary electro-acoustic music. 

The first encounter between the two was back in 2006 at the Malmö Academy of Music. Following an illustrious career in the electronic dance music scene, Sebastian received support from tastemakers like Mixmag, FACT, Electronic Beats and Crack and nominated twice for Swedish Grammy both for his solo work and under his Minilogue project. He was voted in the “Top Live Acts In The World" by Resident Advisor, for his awe inspiring performances touching all corners of the globe form Boiler Room, through Berghain and Fabric. Mullaert became interested in returning to his roots as a classically trained musician, seeking novel ways of integrating classical and electronic music, culminating in his stunning “Natthall” LP with Zurich Philharmonic Orchestra which featured in the BBC Music Magazine “Top 10 Post Classical Albums” of 2020.

Meanwhile, Frendin was touring internationally promoting his solo album ‘Viola con Forza’ (2004), nominated for a Swedish Grammy in the category ‘Classical solo’, at that time already considered one of Scandinavia´s leading violists.
This album was a compilation of works by leading Swedish composers, all pieces dedicated to Frendin. To meet his vision of expanding and developing the sound palette of an electro-acoustical string instrument, a new amplified string instrument called Electric Viola Grande, built, and created by Richard Rolf, was constructed especially for him. This unique five-string viola set a new standard of authentic sound and design in the field of electro-acoustical instrument making. Frendin´s first appearance on stage with the new instrument was at a performance in Wiener Concerthaus as a feathured solo artist at “Lange Nacht der Neue Klänge”.
Naturally, this sparked Mullaert’s interest, so he enrolled for private lessons with the viola professor Frendin.

Fast forward to 2024 and the pair reunited for the resulting ‘HIND’ project, with the main inspiration and starting point nature, and it was an up-close experience with a baby wild deer and its protective mother while they were both meditating in the woods from which the album takes its name. “Almost getting showered by the beauty of nature – it was quite a magical moment that has never happened to me before or anyone else I know for that matter,” adds Mullaert.

Across ‘HIND’, both Mullaert and Frendin’s creative practises and different musical backgrounds are taken to a new level of technical and artistic achievement. Album opener ‘Dawn’ peacefully unfolds – the sun comes up, the darkness clears – while the sprightly ‘Stepping Stone’ and album title track ‘Hind’ elegantly use melody, rhythm, and harmony; a result of a series of long takes in which Frendin’s playing is processed, looped, and warped in real time by Mullaert, with Frendin adding real-time string layers through improvisation and Mullaert performing multilayer looping.

Elsewhere, the celestial ‘Starling Solitude’ and breezy ‘Stardance’ flow and breath freely like nature itself creating an atmospheric treat. There is a sonic dialogue between the two artists that blurs boundaries between acoustic and electronic music and that has at its core experimentation and freedom. “I woke up one morning getting this vision about the curiosity of how our different worlds of sound would match together and to create some kind of synchronicity,” adds Frendin.

The gentle ripples of ‘The Fogs’ and the deeply ethereal soundscapes of ‘Another Form of Wings’ reveal two artists with a deep connection to sound and to one another, while the introspective ‘Embrace’ has a beautifully haunting ambience that slowly emerges.

Chapter 2 of Llark’s dub adventure! Rhythm as texture, texture as rhythm… the foggy and lo-fi dub created by Llarks is messy and unruly, languorous and loping. The deliberate repetition reveals subtle changes as the song-form disintegrates and reassembles itself. 
Including the Slim Vic´s Deep Dub Marathon Remix + bonus Bandcamp tracks.

Text from the organizers youtube "The ambient microfestival AUS could not happen this year due to Covid, but it would have been such a good year. We had the fantastic location at Kultur at Ekoln, a bathing spot and a camping spot, and of course awesome music. Here is a taste from some of the artists that were going to perform.

Ambient under the stars is a astronomy and musical event, aiming to showcase ambient music and its offshoot genres to a wider audience.

The entertainment business is hurting severely from the cancelling of all cultural events like this one. Imagine being locked up in your home without a movie to watch or music to listen to, these things are not a luxury. So run, don't walk over to these artists bandcamps and soundclouds and show some support if you can! " youtu.be/LdtCm6EjTc4
