Originally released on Audio. Visuals. Atmosphere. https://audiovisualsatmosphere.com October 5th, 2018 (AVA62, C57, Edition of 55). 

From the original press release: 

A manifold of hypnagogic frames balancing wind, wave and star. Symmetric pearl timbres touch the seams of the three-dimensional world. 

Volcanic sound transcending its temporal limits, only to be found at the rim of the pyramid. As the wheel turns the balance is attached to the crescentic stone and snow-covered ridges. Sustained pitches acknowledge the spectral phenomena carved in chroma rooms. The mesa of the moon drains diffused energy as pastoral currents break the ocean’s vector.

Colour Fields

A Solarised Vortex

Ultimae label founder Vincent Villuis aka AES Dana returns to one of his favourite emotional fields with (a) Period. and explores these times of forlornness and oblivion in a Cinematic Ambient 10 chapter story. 

As a creative observer, the French artist instantiates our endeavour to establish stillness, he steers the tale with a wide palette of sensitive chords, melting distant rumbles into bittersweet melodies and diaphanous pads thus leading the listener to a state of introspection and intimate isolationism. 

AES Dana's 9th album "(a) period. " stands as an elegy for unimaginable loss, and, as the composer says, "any resemblance with your personal experience is no coincidence".

Porya Hatami - Land  -  River

Porya Hatami’s music explores a vibrant soundscape of hypnotic loops, delicately percussive chimes and manipulated field recordings to evoke the sensual, blissful minutiae of the natural world and of the life that both inhabits and interprets it. Fundamentally delicate and yet insistently, breathtakingly complete, Hatami’s keen ear for microscopic levels of sonic detail allows the album as a whole to sketch a wide-screen vision of nature at work. 

Thematically profound and tonally complex, the music charts a course through a fragile natural world, constructing an exquisitely intricate tone poem from the manifold sounds of the earth and its transitory inhabitants. 


Porya Hatami - Land Remixed  -  Snow (Pleq Remix)

I composed this album "nostalghia" after being inspired by several transparency films my grandmother had left me. The films were taken in 1967 during her travels in Britain, France, Italy, Denmark, Germany, the Soviet Union, USA and so on. She had rarely told me about her travels, (I am not sure why), except for a few funny stories. Nostalghia is the process of my efforts through composition in approaching a memory embraced in those film. The image of this album was designed by my partner Natsuko Yanagimoto (a vocalist of "Rimacona", she is also a photo-based artist). She designs with an unique method; scanning the films, printing them on cloths or papers, sewing them and re-scanning.

Pascal Savy is a French musician who lives and works in London. He creates organic ambient and drone music as a way to reflect on erosion, transition and decay. He utilizes tones, textures, micro-melodies and noise to explore atmospheres rather than narratives. His work often combines acoustic and electronic sources generated from field-recordings, pick-ups, tape loops, feedback, synthesisers or home made electronics which he transforms into dense and layered motifs. His works has been released on Hibernate, Feedback Loop Label & Twisted Tree Lines.

"Adrift is conceived as a sound exploration of a sea area in close proximity of the fictional island of Eilean. The land itself haunts the music as a spectral presence exerting a pull on the narrative and is occasionally seen through a thick veil of mist and fog. The eight tracks on the album works as a series of discrete but related mythical seascapes, each evoking in their own way the elusiveness and foreboding nature of this space."

Night Foundation - Infinite State

Glåsbird returns following the debut EP ‘Drift Stations’ which was a digital only release on Whitelabrecs just prior to Christmas last year. The eagerly awaited full-length debut album is something that this currently anonymous artist has carefully shaped over a lengthy period of time and it is entitled Grønland. Those looking to the themes of the North Pole and travel through the treacherous Arctic Circle which were contained within Drift Stations, will see a pattern of travel or rather, migration developing. Next stop – Greenland, the world’s largest island as well as one of the most uninhabited landmasses on the planet, which is thanks to stark temperatures and the permanent ice sheet which occupies most of this land.

Glåsbird imagined that they were assigned the task of scoring the soundtrack to a film about Greenland and spent a great deal of time researching the subject. Hours of documentaries, drone helicopter footage, NASA and satellite images, Instagram traveller accounts, 360° photos, web articles and maps were surveyed, to the point where this artist felt sufficiently immersed in this sub-zero but beautiful land. One such traveller/photographer who has physically witnessed the splendour of Greenland is Lennart Pagel, who kindly provided the cover image; the shot not only captures the essence of this country with its iced mountains, freezing lake and primary-coloured cabin but also there is a bold starkness which lends itself to this soundtrack.

Two releases in and whilst we’re no clearer as to who is behind this project, it is clear that Glåsbird is becoming synonymous with storytelling and specifically travel or migration, if you prefer.
The music itself adopts a Modern Classical approach with icy piano shards shimmering alongside glacial violin and cello drones as well as the occasional hint of grounding electric guitar. We’re told that the artist even recorded some sections of sounds to cassette before placing the tape in the freezer to give an added chill factor.
