The music of Purl always emerges between the ephemeral and the eternal and 'Form Is Emptiness', his first work for Archives, is the perfect example. With each sound in its right place, but turning impulsively, as if was alive and conscious. Drawing breathtaking soundscapes with immersive vibes and chilling emerging pad sounds, slowly blossoming into colorful and vibrant sonic vistas.

Purl - Under Mjuka Vatten

[ also available on the Purl compilation 'Somewhere In Between' – https://purl.bandcamp.com/album/somewhere-in-between ]

Release notes: 

Almost seven years in gestation, Verdant Compost is finally ready to enter the public consciousness on Earth Day, 2017. A mammoth undertaking larger than any previous remix projects I've attempted before, Verdant Compost collects six discs of reconstituted Verdant Acre source sound, produced by a long and talented list of craftsmen from all over the world. 

The first four discs are sequenced sets of mixes, and the final two are themselves full-length album affairs by Zwei Kreise and Orson Throb, respectively. From deep and dubbed out techno to thick, textured drones, and everywhere in between, Verdant Compost casts a wide range of colors, temperatures and atmospheres, all built using source recordings from the same damaged vinyl sides and drum machines I used to create the original six volumes of the Verdant Acre series. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the many talented musicians who took part, in order of appearance:

A humble and grateful thanks to all of the amazing producers who took part in this gigantic project - without you, we may have never known these half-familiar sound fields.

Verdant Compost

Coppice Halifax - Verdant Compost (Purl Version I)

– Elysia – 

Can you trace the origin of the gust of wind dancing across you skin? When and where did it begin? 

And the drop of water falling from the heavens, to refresh your brow and nourish the ground? 

Ceaseless currents move us. 
Here and now is our home. 
Never is it closer, never further away. 

Already here, before your every thought. 

Your existence will outlive the mountains. 
Your being will reach beyond the sky, surround the faintest star. 

Know yourself, then forget yourself. 
Dance with the wind. 
Melt in every breath.

it's about a plant, it's about the journey...

Paprat (excerpt from a journey)

Release notes: 

'This is a collection of songs and sketches from the past decade. 
Aural photographs (some more developed than others), capturing glimpses of emotional realms traveled. 

A while ago I wrote down these words to help me get out of perfectionism: "I don't want to be flawless, I just want to touch people."
I put those words on a note next to my bed. 
I should read them more often.'

released November 13, 2018

https://gallerysix.bandcamp.com/album/the-red-bridge-over-the-valley

This “Red Bridge” is located in Taisyakukyo valley (帝釈峡), northern Hiroshima, Japan. It is known as a scenic spot. I love this place and often visit because it has many colors and smells, and they make me feel calm. It has water, mountain, blue sky... What else do you need? 

This album was inspired by my experience when I visited there last Spring. I hope you can feel earthy smell, color of water, clear sky of blue of this scenery through this album.
