Some of the most interesting kind of musical journey for me is a successful fusion of different genres of electronic music, each enhancing and reinforcing each other.

"The best work is a fusion of love and praise. "

Hajú is an old Moravian word that loosely translates to “hush hush”.

With the lead single and title track from his upcoming album on Slowcraft, Tomáš' weaves together acoustic elements, soft synthetic manoeuvres and evocative field recordings to spellbinding effect.

Assisted by Pavel Rajmic on strings and Marie Puttnerová on vocals the Czech composer and field recordist has perfectly captured the spirit of both his homeland and the season.

With the Hollow at My Feet is the debut single from Tiny Leaves forth-coming Mynd album. The music combines field recordings with minimal instrumental sounds to create a portrait of a particular valley in Shropshire's Long Mynd.

Wistful, quietly positive, and a little bit melancholic; ambient artist Umber is set to release kaleidoscopic new album ‘Sometimes that light, that shine, seemed like a pretty nice thing’ on 17th March 2023. Focused on melodies that engage the heart as much as the mind, the album brings his electronic influences to the fore, combining shimmering soundscapes with a throbbing pulse of movement.

“I feel that my music taps into a part of who we all are”, says Alex. “I try to create music that will emotionally resonate with the listener. Ultimately the album is about finding hope in the smallest actions, something that can often be overlooked or discarded in a world that doesn’t always make a lot of sense.”

SBTMP022 - Umber - Sometimes That Light, That Shine, Seemed Like A Pretty Nice Thing [PREVIEWS]

Atalaya is a reflection of the current state of our planet, depicting the tensions within our environments and landscapes through storytelling. This song features field recordings of animals and natural elements captured from three significant locations that hold personal significance for me. These include Hackney, my neighbourhood in London, the east coast of Asturias (northern Spain) and the small town of Seyðisfjörður in Iceland.

Atalaya was originally released as part of the EarthPercent x Earth Day 2023 campaign: earthpercent.org

Excerpt from an interview in 'Listen’ (Écoute), a film by Miroslav Sebestik, 1992

When I hear what we call music
It seems to me that someone is talking
And talking about his feelings or about his ideas of relationships

But when I hear traffic, the sound of traffic, here on 6th Avenue for instance,
I don’t have the feeling that anybody is talking
I have the feeling that sound is acting

Sound is acting 
And I love the activity of sound

What it does is
It gets louder and quieter
And it gets higher and lower
And it gets longer and shorter
It does all these things
Which I’m completely satisfied with
And I don’t need sound to talk to me

It gets louder and quieter
And it gets higher and lower
And it gets longer and shorter
And I don’t need sound to talk to me

Sound is acting 
And I love the activity of sound

Sound is acting 
And I love the activity of sound

We don’t see much difference between time and space
We don’t know where one begins and the other stops

There are two things that don’t have to mean anything
One is music and the other is laughter

Don’t have to mean anything, that is
In order to give a us very deep pleasure

You know that 
Don’t we?

you know that

Hello baby
