Akhira Sano - Demande Un

https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/spaces-between-words

In a world where every word carries weight, UK based electronic producer Simon Vince (HERE) invites listeners into a sonorous exploration of the unnoticed silences and spaces. With his latest ambient album and second release on Shimmering Moods ; Spaces Between Words. HERE crafts eight beautifully fragile and melancholic electronica tracks that delve into the delicate nuances of love and loss. 
Each piece is a hauntingly wistful soundscape, woven from electro-acoustic ambience and drones to shimmering synths, delicate textures, and gentle pulses that evoke the bittersweet essence of separation. 

From the emotive echoing tones in “Spaces Between Words” to the nostalgic reverberations and drawn out chords of “I Find You In Whispers" this album invites you to embrace the unspoken and the unshared, allowing you to linger in the quiet spaces that define our connections.

For this mix, I selected some beautiful tracks that were released during the pandemic—(most likely) produced in Japan. While I feel a bit uneasy about drawing a simple connection between COVID-19 and ambient music, I put this together as a way of recalling the many experiments and explorations that were happening at that time.
(The mix title reflects the release period of the tracks featured.)

今回のミックスではコロナ禍にリリースされた（おそらく）日本で制作された素敵な楽曲を選んでみました。コロナとアンビエントっぽいものを安易に結びつけるのもモヤっとしますが、あの時期にいろんな試みが行われていたことを思い出しつつ作成してみました。

ABOUT LIVING ROOM SONGS:

Icelandic contemporary composer Ólafur Arnalds created and released a new song, one per day for one for one whole week during the month of October 2011. The songs were recorded and filmed live in the living room of his Reykjavik apartment and released instantly for free as streamed videos and mp3 downloads.

Thousands of fans followed this exciting project online at: livingroomsongs.olafurarnalds.com

Living Room Songs will now also be released on CD, Vinyl, Ltd. Special Edition CD &amp; DVD and as High Quality Downloads on December 5th via Erased Tapes.


Following in the spirit of Ólafur Arnalds’ critically acclaimed Found Songs (2009) now comes Living Room Songs. This time Ólafur takes the idea further and invites the audience into the comfort of his living room, where the songs were recorded live and the whole process filmed. The songs were instantly released in form of a free mp3 download and video stream- straight from Ólafur's Reykjavik apartment.

IN HIS OWN WORDS: ‘One night I was just playing my piano here in this apartment and I was writing a new song and I didn't have my phone on me which I usually use to record ideas. So I actually took out my MacBook and I didn't want to open like a proper recording program, so I just opened Photo Booth and recorded a video of myself playing the song so that I would remember the song. And I really liked the atmosphere of that video and that's when I thought I should do a series of songs in my living room...’             – Ólafur Arnalds


Born in the suburban Icelandic town of Mosfellsbær, a few kilometers outside of Reykjavík, the 24-year old composer has always enjoyed pushing boundaries with both his studio work and his live-shows. Through relentless touring and determination this young artist has steadily gained recognition worldwide since his 2007 debut Eulogy for Evolution. Ólafur Arnalds’ second full-length album ...and they have escaped the weight of darkness, continues his mission to lure an indie-generation of pop and rock fans into an emotive world of beguiling electronic chamber music and delicate classical arrangements. Ólafur is currently touring with Ryuichi Sakamoto on his Trio Tour throughout Europe.

Near Light

Ólafur Arnalds - Near Light

As part of the upcoming "chocolate box" series, we are very pleased to welcome back one of the earlier artists that Time Released Sound released, Bernard Zwijzen, aka Sonmi451. Where previously he took us via the deluxe Star Atlas release into the far reaches of the solar system, he directs us this time us towards heights more earthbound,  the mountain peaks of the Alps and Dolemites, which closer to home as they may well be, are still unreachable in reality for most of us devoted listeners. With his patented and delicate crystalline electronics, Sonmi451 again delivers the celestial goods we know so well, love so much and have come to expect!

Sonmi451 - Grossglockner

Ashlar is the collaborative project of Wil Bolton (Hibernate, Rural Colours, Time Released Sound) and Phil Edwards/PJE (Twisted Treeline, U-Cover, Crazy Language). Both based in Merseyside, UK (Wil in Liverpool's Chinatown, Phil in the Wirral), these two artists and friends began working together at the beginning of 2011.  Lazy Saturday afternoons spent in various public houses in Liverpool's Georgian Quarter were followed by evenings jamming in Wil's studio, culminating in the collection of textural ambient tracks 'Saturday Drones'.

Ashlar - Hope Street

Track 5 of 5.

ASIP015 http://soundcloud.com/yeter - Dart

Finding a sense of serenity is a challenge most of us chase, every day. Whether it’s the coffee-breath grind of the underground, the grid-lock of the daily commute or the drudgery of the 9-5, looking beyond the concrete and grey monotony, to nature, is often the transcendent salvation we seek.

Dart is one such redemption. Inspired by the river from which this collection takes its name, these five continuous movements pay personal homage to the stretch of water that Jethro Cooke considers to be the connection between the sacred places of his youth and the present-day comfort of a retreat.

“I hope that listeners will find Dart peaceful but not without vitality and dynamism,” Jethro explains. “I set out to create a gentle, intimate piece of environmental music, essentially textural composition with an organic aesthetic. I worked with field recordings affected to a varying degree; the familiar sounds of running water and birdsong accompany melodic drones and gentle rhythmic lines crafted from riverside samples. There is no synthesis in Dart.”

A gentle, morphing soundtrack, Dart’s dream-like drones weave and swathe to an ecological beat. Tracked by environmental field recordings, it’s easy to imagine the lush canopies of grass, dragonflies languidly patrolling their territory and wildlife instinctively running their biological routine.

“From the moorland at the heart of Devon to the South coast, the Dart carves a valley of abundant natural beauty where I have spent a great deal of my time over the last ten years,” Jethro reminisces. “These days the river is above all a comfort. I visit it to rest, to calm myself and clear my head. It has the almost unique effect of calming through movement rather than stillness – the constant rolling of water is like a mantra.”

It’s what helps underpin the subtle beauty of this set and Dart paints a vivid picture of the velvet green idylls we can all dream about; both the movement and the melody.

Thank You 4 Your Interest - All what U see and Hear is inspired by Nature and by You, for your interest I thank you.  
As we all are one big organic lump living life that deeply connected with all are dependent on each other and the environment around us. We navigate by mirroring people we meet and watching to learn from the natures sustainable behavior and habits. We are Bi-products of each other our Nature and our Habitat, in this life of constant change we try to find the best way to deal with the consecvenses of not always knowing what is the right path, so we creates, experiments, acts and lives as contemporary symptoms,  sending out signs and signals to our surroundings in our culture for it to recognize and use it as a navigator to understand ourself, people, animals, nature, life in general the now and the codex of the times we live in.
It is in this open window, where we are mirroring  living and observing contemporary symptoms of times, we can create, interpret, communicate, our unique set of experiences, visualize our thoughts and doubts & use it as a frame for confirmation of your own state of mind, a recognizing tool for mental health as a grounding - a start, the moment, yours own perfect Now - Whatever you find useful on your path in life to wisdom, freedom and trust, you will find your own tools on your way or you will make them yourself, it will and cannot be given to you, it's for you to discover, you can and will not learn it from someone, the source is for you to find, cause nobody can not teach or learn away we can only inspire, be the creative, communicators, toolmakers, reflectors, living mirrors, the artist.  Mirroring of the contemporary signals, signs and symptoms of man in our own homemade manmade culture of the times - so that we together can recognize, visualize and inspire a direction in the evolution that is sustaining life and diversity on this earth and to make decisions on behalf of our common source, knowledge and all life as we know it. Either we are aware of it or not, we are all ambassadors for the nature and part of all life, our instinct want us to find our self, recognize our personality in its identity, adapt its abilities,  language, tools, signs and signals express it trough any given medium at any time, always - thats nature at work, thats the artists at work for the nature, the natures ambassador translating the universal language of man, the natures nature - repeating over and over again what we all know, what we are a part of, what we live inn, off and for, what we all know that we always knew in different ways as new and different days appears and time evolves into life as we know it, and we cease this gorgeous moment and love it, finds the only window out that show it, reveals the source, so use no force, don't scream, whisper, just breath your thoughts and release your will, chill your spill pill , reject your greed, please your thirst, smoothen you bursts let patience come first and find your chi and you will see you're just perfectly how and where you are meant to be, recognizing that everything is perfectly as it's suppose to be, cause it could not be differently, in this gift called life where we are free to be who we are really, free to do whatever we want to if we only know it is truly.

 ORGANIC - according to wikipedia;
" relating to an organism, a living entity."

 AMBIENT - according to wikipedia; "ambient music is a musical genre that focuses largely on the timbral characteristics of sounds, often organized or performed to evoke an "atmospheric",[2] "visual"[3] or "unobtrusive" quality."- 

 MUSIC -  gives us the possibility to experience how music, sound-storys, organic field recordings, atmospherics, noise aso. is reflecting and expressing the state of mind of the people and culture of the habitat in our own time. Every region of the earth has it's own musical expression, identity and language, (ever changing of course), some are very active, upfront and visual, others grounded in old ritual tradition, others purely celebrating mother nature and life. The nordic AMBIENT music expression today is up front, modern, active, well known and appreciated widely around the world, for it's emotional seriousity, elemental character and fascinating, recognizable almost visual atmosphere of the natures direct impact on the soundscape, atmosphere and story told or translated.

 NATURE -  has no borders, nor has the music, neither do we. As we get into the ambient, sound-scaping, storytelling, exploring spirit and ancient ground, we get wise on our own habitat, nature, our people and ourself, trough the fine tools of art, sound & music. Sharing these reflections in musical works, experience & wisdom with our brothers & sisters, is what art is all about. The artist will always seek and explore all sides of life & nature, then translate and express it trough the tools of art, so that others who don't have the time, means or the gift to explore it, is given access to this source of knowledge, trough the artists work with the umbrella of all arts, the music. The only, yet, universal language humans have.

 INSIDE you in your home on this earth, in our world of solar systems and galaxys, lives the universe to be, your guide, partner and chi in your effort to see and to be a part of something bigger than yourself. So that together we all will, inspired by each-other, enjoy in common spirit the greatest gift of all......LIFE, as it happens, right now, here, everywhere and always!
