Let Me Sleep.

Dead Melodies (UK) releases his Cryo Chamber debut with Legends of the Wood. A melancholic journey on the isle of mist. 

The hearth warms your bones as you peer out the crosshatch window. The damp morning dew forms translucent drops on the knee high grass. Whatever was out there last night seems gone but the birds are not yet singing and the animals still hiding. You pull your trekking boots on and head out the gnarled door, leaving the heat of the lonely cabin behind. 

Save the faint caw of a crow from up in the canopy, the forest lay silent; Devil's Hill looms in the distance. Through crooked trees you go as the headache hits you and flashes from last night come flooding back; Hooded figures. Blood. The sacrifice! Through clenched teeth you gaze down at the compass in your hand. The needle spinning faster and faster. Anxiously, you look back for the cabin, but it's gone. Gone! Devil's Hill dominates where it once stood, only one way to go. 

Lush field recordings, detailed soundscapes and melancholic melodies drench this album in atmosphere. For lovers of high fidelity dark ambient.

Dead Melodies - A Trial of Crows and Blood

Vinland is the third and last album in Northumbria’s trilogy inspired by the Norse discovery of Canada. 

The journey was long and hard, you lost good men sailing across the never ending sea, but now you stand on foreign land. The father of gods watches over you as his ravens circle the funeral pyre to bring his warriors home. 

The rocks here emanate a low hum, the silent wind carries the scent of honey and at nightly camp bestial cries echo between the mountains. Your men speak in hushed voices as the dark creeps close, they mutter about this being the territory of new gods. This dreamy land is getting to your people, some men wake screaming in the blackest hour from visions delivered by the dark below. But for you this expedition is one of enlightenment, the fresh rivers fill your mouth with the light of Yggdrasil, forests carry whispers from the mead halls beyond and as such have you convinced that this is the pathway between the worlds of gods and men. 

Using guitar and bass, and recording their improvised compositions live, Jim Field and Dorian Williamson create a deep textured sound world. Evoking the ancient wonder that the Norse explorers must have felt discovering Vinland, the Windswept Land.

In the past year I've gone through some heavy personal turmoil and difficulties which have quite thoroughly snuffed my inspiration in making music for myself. It seems like there's a tipping point after which emotional extremes and mental illness are no longer productive forces but instead gnaw at, and little by little destroy, everything that's important for the free flowing of creativity. 

However, I've still enjoyed performing live, perhaps more than ever. Somehow it has seemed pointless to produce and explore sound by myself, but sharing the experience live with other people has been a great refuge as well as a route of release. So here I would like to present a triptych consisting of three excerpts taken from various performances in the past year. 

My live shows are a fusion of varied improvised live instrumentation, percussion and singing, rituals, pre-orchestrated sound design, samples and field recordings. I also record and broadcast what I'm performing as I'm performing it, and manipulate the whole live to give more depth to the soundscapes. 

Solitude and headphones are recommended for a full aural experience.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude and admiration to: 
My True Love Alina The Fairy, Mahr, Everyday Dust, Tuonela, everyone at Sparkwood's Lodge, Vissarion, [ówt krì], Sipulijaska, Astroschnautzer and the whole Kokeile Kollektiv as well as all artists and labels I've collaborated with.

"Moonflowers" is an exploration of repetition and organic sounds. Fragments of delicate melody and harmony are decayed and obscured over time. Emotions frozen in the present. Flower and expand in the silhouette of the full moon.
