In "The Floating Garden," I've ventured into a realm where generative synths and the spirit of ambient music converge to create a magical, calming oasis. This single is a reflection of my journey, infused with a tiny touch of neoclassical elegance amidst the vast expanse of classic ambient landscapes. I aimed to cultivate an environment that invites listeners to float away into a serene, ethereal garden of their own making. I hope it brings you the same solace and wonder it brought me during its creation.

Butterfly Dreams

The title is inspired by Zhuangzi’s story The Butterfly Dream.

I interpret it as a reminder that what we perceive as reality is no different from a dream.

If that’s the case, then all we need to do is live each day with ease and peace of mind. In truth, there’s nothing to worry about—our own egos are what create those concerns. Let’s let go of those illusions, relax, and live lightly.

サブスクライバーの皆様へ。

Butterfly Dreams

タイトルは荘子の説話、「胡蝶の夢」から引用しました。

ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%83%A1%E8%9D%B6%E3%81%AE%E5%A4%A2

私たちが見ていると思っている現実も、夢と変わりはないという意味だと私は解釈しています。

もしそうであるなら、ただ毎日安心して気楽に生きればよいのです。本当は何一つ思い煩うことはないはずなのに、私たちの自我がそれをつくりだしているだけなのです。その幻影を振り払い、リラックスして軽く生きていきましょう。

Sven's compositions often transport listeners to inspiring, ethereal realms. Cellos and pianos paint soft, contemplative landscapes, tinged with underlying angst and longing, showcasing Sven's talent for translating life stories into relatable and evocative music.

With 'The Undefined Feeling of Discomfort', Sven presents an album this time brimming with anxiety, fear, and anticipation. Struggle permeates the music, enhanced by distorted vocals, acoustic guitars and drone pads. Sven once again evokes deep emotions, guiding the listener through a powerful sonic journey.

The album opens with a floating, introspective tone. The atmosphere is dark, and an anxious feeling gradually emerges. As the first city lights appear from afar, a tumultuous force sweeps everything away, like an undertow shattering waves on a coastline. Moving on, choir-like vocals bring in a biblical aspect, adding darker, soul-wrenching depth. It feels like a scream from the abyss, leaving an empty shell resonating with its vastness. Soft guitar notes offer hope, but the passage ends with intense anxiety, and feelings of rapid flashes before one's eyes throwing us off balance.

Further along, a rise from uncertainty hints at a resolution. It starts with a sense of battle and resistance illustrated with hopeful strings and a heartbeat-like backbeat. A force emerges from the dark sonic cloud pierced by a tenacious sun. The second half brings resolution and lightness, offering hope and comforting certainty amidst the alarming tension of this transitional phase. The album leaves us feeling chaos after the storm, atoms crushing into one another. With a calmer end, as if the initial rumble had passed, a scar remains. The memory lingers, but things move forward.

Finnish electronic producer Planet Boelex and Norwegian-American solo artist Rumirr share their collaborative single, "Light As A Feather" - a serene exploration of memory, mystery, and the magic hidden in childhood rituals. The track fuses Planet Boelex's signature ambient downtempo electronica with Rumirr's haunting vocals and poetic lyricism.

(dispersed signal) versions fragment the original material through granular time-warping, scattering its rhythmic core into drifting pulses and textured echoes. Like a fading transmission from deep space, these pieces unravel slowly, leaving behind only traces of their origin.

Place Language is an international non-profit compilation album project inspired by the themes found in Robert Macfarlane’s widely-acclaimed book ‘Landmarks’. In particular it focuses on the book’s extensive topographic glossaries, the “word-hoard” of depictive landscape terms gathered from 30 different languages, dialects and sub-dialects around Britain & Ireland and divided into sections by type of terrain (Flatlands, Uplands, Waterlands, Coastlands, Underlands, Northlands, Edgelands, Earthlands and Woodlands). Relying on these topograms, or “tiny place poems”, as creative prompts, Place Language seeks to both inspire a renewed interest in our surroundings and reinvigorate our appreciation for the audible textures & patterns that characterize a place in keeping with the book’s stated desire to “re-wild” our vocabulary.

The collection features the work of 28 different sound-artists, field recordists, and musicians from around the globe each of whom selected a Landmarks topogram and recorded an impression of it thus adding rich new aspects of dimensionality through the act of sonification. These selections cover all nine of the book’s glossaries along with place-words of new coinage as prompted by the blank one which Macfarlane leaves at the end of the book for readers to fill in from their own experience. The end result is a truly global and collaborative survey of place, language, and sound.
