Really cool to be able to collab with Wandr, as I have really been enjoying his music. I learned a lot on this project and am so happy with how our styles blended and we pushed some experimentation with this song. And so, my baby song "Guardian Angel" became Steal Me Away. 

You can find more awesome music from Wandr here:

We left this song open for interpretation, but as usual, it means something personal to me about my faith... about leaving this world for a better one with the Lord, about being eager for God to take you home.

Thanks for listening and have a blessed day!

Paradox: Something that seems absurd, contradictory, or unreal, but is actually true. 

I believe in miracles, light in the darkness, the Savior, life after death...

I hope you enjoy this simple one <3

Paradox

When the excession came, we've lost communications with our comsat network. It was just us, here, alone.
No connection to our families off-colony, no participation in the decision-making process, no access to the knowledge. We're looking for signals.

Over several years, Guenter Schlienz has graced labels such as Constellation Tatsu, Sacred Phrases, S.I.N.K. CDs, SicSic, Preservation so we are very excited here at Rural Colours to be added to that list with his latest work Peace.

After noticing that several friends had begun to end emails marked 'Peace', Guenter Schlienz, ever full of questions, started to ponder on the meaning of the word in this context.  Around the same time he started to read Henry Miller's book 'The Collossus of Maroussi' and was intrigued by a couple of paragraphs devoted to exactly this question: what is "the meaning of peace". He came to the conclusion that there is much more to "peace" than just the absence of war.  The albums track titles are words by Henry Miller, and the work is Guenter's humble attempt to gather sounds and atmospheres around those lines.

Using modular synths combined with tape loops, analog and digital delays, vintage electronic organ and guitar, Schlienz works within a romantically inward looking framework, creating music that comes from deep within.  His compositions reflect themes of tenderness, alienation and homecoming and feature a range of guest musicians including Masako Kamikawa (piano on  'Reverberation of the Pandemonium') and Niko Lazarakopoulos (guitar on 'Faint Whispers') and even an anonymous busker from the streets of Stuttgart on 'Who Put the Demons There?'

inspired by henry miller's book "the collossus of maroussi". / "i never knew the meaning of peace until i arrived at epidaurus ".

______________________________ 

We are happy to welcome back Oklahoma native Samuel Regan for the first single "Acousma" from the upcoming "Behind Veils" LP. Samuel has been attending Mills Collage in Oakland, CA and has also been busy with new aspirations in digital synthesis and sound design while pursuing his degree in electronic music. This work represents another milestone for the artist and we are pleased to share it with all of you. 

Full length album coming summer 2020...stay tuned! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*a note from the artist: 

I'm thrilled to present my new full length album, Behind Veils. It's my ninth studio album and first release since early 2018. I share it with more pride than any past work, as a culmination of visions and ideas and a taste of what's to come. 

The music arose from a two-year trip into synthesis and digital signal processing, which seem somehow endowed with infinitude and fraught with illusions of control and choice. They can shape sounds that emerge as living and breathing entities: filling uncanny spaces as geometries viewed from impossible vantage points. The songs guide these artifacts out into the daylight to dance and unfold like gestures in their own language. Their subjects include illusion, ecology, philosophy and psychedelia; the theatrical and the paradoxical - which all seem speak to us from behind a veil. 

I hope the music finds you healthy and well. There are so many challenging days behind and ahead of us - when things get hard, sometime meaning collapses and there's no music, and that's okay. An optimism runs through some of these sounds that won't always resonate, but they'll welcome you back... Sometimes an escape into unreality can be the loveliest medicine.

Samuel Regan - Acousma

It’s fair to say that the events of the year 2020 will go down as quite a year and may form a large part of the history curriculum for the children of tomorrow. The pandemic is of course just part of the story, against a backdrop of political unrest, climate change and injustice too.

Whitelabrecs was affected with the closure of our local post office, meaning we were unable to ship our CDs. We also felt we had a duty not to hold up a queue of people and decided to stop production of our catalog. During that time, to make sure we still had a label left to return to, we launched the ambitious Home Diaries series. It ran for 3 months and in that relatively short space of time, the series reached 30 releases!

Home Diaries was an invitation to artists and musicians to create an album or EP to document their personal experience during the lockdown or social distancing conditions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The series reflects a range of sounds, styles and ideas, as each artist portrayed their own reflections uniquely, available as a digital only edition including a bonus interview and photos.
Each of the 30 digital editions in the Home Diaries series is an individual work of art, created to share the varying experiences felt by each artist. 

This compilation album pulls together a track from each record, sequenced in a way that flows as a specially curated environment, over the course of two CDs. We have two versions available as follows:

A standard edition, which is a double-disc gatefold vinyl-effect CDr album, featuring a re-interpretation of the original cover artwork, painted by Adrian Lane.

A deluxe matchbox edition, in which the double-disc gatefold vinyl-effect CDr is housed inside a gold foil-etched box, which also contains a booklet which includes a photo from each artist's home during lockdown. This version serves as a time capsule into the original series; a keepsake which is limited to just 70 copies.

If you opt for the digital version, this also includes the photo booklet as a bonus PDF item.
