This album explores the interplay between horizontal and vertical musical elements, where subtle acoustic events challenge perceived stillness. In the realm of drone music, these nuanced occurrences shape its immersive nature, injecting unpredictability into sustained tones. They blur the distinction between stasis and movement, fostering diverse listening experiences. Ultimately, these tiny acoustic events enrich the sonic landscape, challenging conventional musical narratives.
 
Creating electronic music blends sound design and composition. For this album, we've incorporated sounds from our experimental installations, emphasizing exploration over virtuosity. This process of crafting instruments and sounds enriches our music, capturing the essence of sonic exploration.

Full Moon October 2024 Mix 

Easy Mixing with tracks side by side (not layered)

Due to a recording malfunction//error (mistake🙈) the session was stopped and picked up where the error occurred to finish the intended playlist (at 3:50:00).

The Tracklist will be split into, "Chapters," to easy mark where one would be in the mix and to be able to come back to if the listener takes a break.  It also marks where in the "Story" of this mix and who the producer is behind the sound.  As this mix particularly features the artists tracks from one of their EPs or LPs, to keep the sound consistent as to not wildly jump in sound design from one track to the next.

Also, a big thank you!  to all artists involved in this mix!  With all the happenings in the world it felt right to come to ambient music and I wasn't expecting to be bombarded with lots of good ambient.  With me finding all of this music in September, my time with this music became a staple to me during this time of the year.
(I do not own any of the music here!  If you like what you hear then i recommend supporting the artists directly on Bandcamp where more of the music can be found! <3)

So i hope people will enjoy this just as much as i had on that full moon night <3

Prepare to embark on a transformative auditory experience with the release of 'Musquy (dream)', a groundbreaking composition designed to accompany moments of sleep, meditation, and deep relaxation. Crafted with intentional gentleness and an unparalleled sensitivity to the human spirit, this music serves as a gateway to release and renewal.

Emmanuel’s vision for 'Musquy' centers on the delicate balance between tranquility and inspiration. From the soft melodies to the carefully orchestrated transitions, the music creates an environment conducive to profound inner peace.

Perfectly suited for individuals seeking solace from the noise of daily life, 'Musquy' provides 'a gateway of release in which dreams may awaken in calm and delicate grace'.

The composition’s intricate layering and gentle dynamics are the result of using natural soundscapes, presented in a 24 hour installation by Emmanuel. The result is an immersive experience that gently cradles the listener’s senses and promotes holistic well-being.
