You have such a rich menu of music here it will take me some time to listen to all your tracks carefully.

There is an element of the 19th centuary's obsesion with the sublime about this music...pondering the incomprehenisble...Feeling very small, but not lost

Extraordinary, just put my headphones back on after waking up and found myself back in dream...

Dear Village Green: I would be grateful if you would follow me. Not for my music, but as I would like to add constructive comments to the large folio of acoustic sketches you have created.... If you chose not to do this I understand....I am a hobyist....Visual arts graduate....Music has kept me busy since the lockdown.... I am teacher and understand how to behave responsibly in a public forum...... I will happily delete any comments that I make that you do not consider relevant....It would be nice to message you to show my appeciation for the body of work you have created. I have not listened to classical music in years....I negatively didn't believe that they're was anything worth listening to since Postmodernism smotherd creativity...Anyway, thank you for you time....

This has elements of the Baroque...Only just noticed....I was staring at it so closely I couldn't see....out of focus...

In a seemingly ceaseless acreage near his childhood home in the Rockies of Colorado, Kael Smith (Mombi, Khale) takes a deep breath and listens critically to the forest. It is not the same sound he remembers as a youth, when he’d disappear for hours deep into these woods. No, the sound he hears today is unfamiliar and vapid. Muted, really.

Since Smith’s departure to the city of Denver; the Mountain Pine Beetle has moved into these woodlands and decimated the trees; devouring their insides and leaving empty husks in its wake. It is among these thinned out swaths a word keeps repeating back to him, over and over, incessantly…Deforestation. 

Painstakingly written, recorded and mixed at his home studio in Denver, 'Deforestation' (Out November 13th on Lost Tribe Sound) sprawls across nine sonorous and meticulously wrought tracks containing elements of minimal electronic, ambient and folk. Large cavernous beats, micro-ambient deconstruction and nylon guitar all swirl into a coherent palate left for Smith’s poignant, intimate words. 

Mastered specifically for vinyl by Taylor Deupree (12k), and with the additional step taken to create lacquers and metal stampers by Roger Siebel at SAE Mastering, 'Deforestation' sees a gatefold 180-gram release from Lost Tribe Sound that, like the material, takes no shortcuts. Both the album’s acetate and test pressing were scrutinized for anomalies on world-class vinyl setups at Arizona’s esteemed high-end audio dealer and vacuum tube specialists, Arizona Hi-Fi. Concluding the deluxe package and connecting intimately with the material within are stark, disintegrating images courtesy of renowned minimalist photographer Christy Romanick (Rivulets, Chihei Hatakeyam).

Mute Forest - From God, To Kane, To Seth

The first publication of piano pieces by Erased Tapes composer and musician Peter Broderick features 20 works and an exclusive album of recordings plus unique notes from the composer.

In this, his first volume of sheet music, Peter Broderick collects 20 works for solo piano alongside exclusive new recordings. Taken from his piano-led records such as Docile, Float, How They Are, Partners and Grunewald, some are original solo works while others have been stripped back and arranged for solo piano for the first time. The collection also includes the composer’s performance and repertoire notes.

“Ever since I started releasing records of piano music back in 2007, it seems that every few months I get an email from a stranger, asking me if I have sheet music for my piano songs. Sometimes people even write to me assuming that the sheet music already exists, asking in regards to a particular song, “Where can I find the sheet music?” My response to all these requests has been always been the same . . . “Unfortunately the music is only written in my head and in my fingers, but I do hope that maybe one day I’ll be able to write some of it out and publish a book of sheet music.” And finally, ten years later, that day is here! I am very proud to announce that Piano Works Vol. 1, my first book of piano sheet music, will be available in mid-June. Thanks to my dear friends at Erased Tapes and Music Sales for helping this come to fruition.”  – Peter Broderick

The new single 'From There' from German composer and producer Josin – out today on Swedish independent label Dumont Dumont (RY X, Charlie Cunningham, Sean Christopher) 

Born in Cologne to a Korean mother and German father, both of whom are opera singers, JOSIN grows up in a household with music at its centre. Nevertheless, she decides to follow a childhood dream and studies medicine in Nice.
"I did my first year of medical school, but there was something missing. I think I never really saw what was there all along - music. Maybe because it was so normal to grow up in an artistic environment. 
At some point the inner voice became inevitable and I knew that I had to follow this path.“ She drops out of college, moves to Hamburg and develops her musical identity as a self-taught artist and producer.

JOSIN’s music sees a dynamic blend of electronic jolts, vibrating sounds and poetic vocals. Somewhere between heart and mind the profoundness of her songs seems to resonate. The warm melancholy of her production repeatedly merge into the electronic world. Her music is complex and honest at the same time - haunting and fragile. There’s ultimately something quite arresting about JOSIN, and her music marks an exciting start for a compelling new artist.

JOSIN has toured with RY X, BOY, Roosevelt and Sóley and played at festivals such as Der Maifeld Derby, Puls Open Air, Burning Eagle, Artlake and c/o Pop Festival, where she won audiences and critics over.

"From There“ is about the fear of losing control, if we follow our hearts. I pictured someone running down sunlit hills on a perfect day, running away from a peaceful place where he or she belongs but denies. This place up on that hill stands for the good things. Things that are true in their nature but maybe nothing you´ve planned - as human biology can be strange sometimes, you first listen to the head and rather try to intrigue the heart to make everything fit into your life. In the end your lies fall apart and you finally have to state that you ́ve been the one to be clueless all along. 

With "From There“ being one of the earlier JOSIN songs, its production didn´t change much. The guitar picking, the simplicity of the first part and the impelling orchestral ending still felt right, so that she just recorded new vocals and added some synth elements.

From the album Occasus available April 13, 2018 on Western Vinyl

Pennsylvania native Keith Kenniff’s output as Goldmund has established him as one of the preeminent composers of minimal piano-based ambient music alongside peers like Hauschka, Dustin O’Halloran, and even Ryuichi Sakamoto, who himself once described Kenniff’s work as “so, so, so beautiful.”  Hyperbolic as it may sound, Goldmund’s newest collection Occasus may be his most exquisite yet. Where his previous recordings trod faithfully and sincerely on paths of dimly lit, polaroid-esque nostalgia, Occasus deepens the undeniable aesthetic that was hard-won over eight previous Goldmund albums, while expanding the palette to include desultory clouds of synthesizer and a tastefully distressed analog sheen.

The word Occasus means downfall, end, or the rising and falling of heavenly bodies. The title is apt in more ways than one: while the emotional tone of the album denotes bittersweet feelings of conclusiveness, it also perfectly soundtracks the quiet moments when we look up to the sky, and humbly relearn the smallness of our lives as cosmic objects churn slowly overhead with bewitching indifference. Occasus feels deeply personal, private, and hushed yet simultaneously grand, colossal, and profound. Remarkably Kenniff is able to capture micro and macro with equal fidelity.

Goldmund - "Circle"

French pianist / composer Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch returns with the stunning 'Époques', her sophomore album for FatCat's pioneering 130701 imprint. Witnessing an increased assurance and dynamism in both Emilie's playing and composing, 'Époques' marks a big step forward for the London-based artist. A bold and adventurous album that alternates between passages of emotive, sinuous solo piano; stirring compositions for viola and cello and some beautifully sprawling electronics, it has been masterfully pieced together to further reveal a unique and intelligent sense of artistry, and a composer who really does deserve your full attention. 

'Époques' is a deep, forceful, at times difficult, listen - a true shifting through the various registers of emotion, from dark to light. Whilst fans of artists like Max Richter, Dustin O'Halloran and Jóhann's Jóhannsson ought to surely find much to love in this album, and parallels may be found to a progressive new breed of female peers like Claire M Singer, Lucy Railton and labelmate Resina, it is a record that genuinely sees its maker finding her own space, fully formed and conclusively set aside from peers and influences. No mere background listen, 'Époques' is a proper journey of an album – a  record to immerse yourself into; that stands up to and rewards repeat listening, revealing itself more and more over time.

Inspired in equal parts by John Luther Adams, Spiritualized, Etta James and Gavin Bryars, 'Colourfield - Prelude', signals Dan Michaelson's first release as an instrumental artist. Though better known for his solo albums of dark, Americana tinged reflection, Dan is no stranger to instrumental music, having spent the past few years creating scores for film (Blowin' Up, 2018) and television (Detectorists Series 1, 2 & 3, 2016-2018), whilst gradually building confidence with orchestra.
“Whilst working on the orchestral palette of those albums, I fell in love with the likes of John Adams, Steve Reich, Anna Thorvaldsdottir and Caroline Shaw". 'Colourfield - Prelude' sees Dan work closely with violist and conductor of the London Contemporary Orchestra Robert Ames and violinist Galya Bisengalieva.
