i love this ❤️‍🔥 & only 30 seconds in!

Recorded & mixed on 13 Sep 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Process notes -
Bitwig - I started in Bitwig by pulling four samples from Freesound.org, including the one offered for use with this project. After this, I applied different settings of the Tuner device, very wet, different stretch modes and some limiting before exporting the 4 stems. 

I grabbed my iPad and sat in the cool night air with AudioKit’s Synth One and recorded a few slow takes on the same arpeggio. 

Ableton Live - 
- I pulled in all four of Freesound samples. I warped each one differently, grouped the HDD Sounds together & applied pitch correction in Nectar along with some CHOWTapeModel. I grouped the other two sounds together and applied Corpus on a beam setting.
- I used 6 different pieces of the Synth One recordings, with some filtering applied to some and used Caellum Audio’s Tape Cassette 2 on one of these tracks.
- I pulled three bits of a Max session from 19 Apr 2024 as some icing on this cake, using the same basic Corpus patch as the second Freesound set.
- I mixed it - just went with it

Title - I just liked how the word "orchard" contains the word "hard."

Decaying A Little More Each Day (disquiet0684)

The dark: the recent passing of friend Paul Schreiber, owner of Synthesis Technology. Along with fellow rocket scientists Eric Brombaugh and Robert Rich, he engineered the E370 Quad Morphing VCO which I use everyday. He was a true genius, a snarky story-teller, a good hearted guy. I felt honored just to know him, occasionally helping with some demos and testing on various modules.

The light: the new addition to the family, as pictured

The Light & the Dark

Levitate

A Celebration

This one follows Eno's edict "Follow Thy Error as Thy Intention" - had input a sequence of six chords into the Synthesis Technology E370 (RIP the late, great Paul Schreiber) but my gate sequence was only hitting every other chord. This became the central, identifying riff of the whole piece. The next release "Better Times" makes full use of the whole six chord sequence, developed in an entirely different direction. 

Don't usually succumb to outside political developements, but working in this environment it's hard to prevent this stuff from seeping in.

Dictator Dub

Hello. I am Aethery Fields.

There are moments when time seems to stand still.

Instants when fog settles over a landscape and contours blur. "hello." is such a moment, captured in sound, preserved like a fading Polaroid whose edges are already dissolving.
After a distant time in the shadows, sailing the cinematic seas of Dark Ambient and Soundscape with my moniker "Logic Moon", I felt the need to give my brighter side more space. **Aethery Fields** was born, not as an escape, but as a complement. A place where light penetrates through the mist, where silence is not empty but filled with fleeting impressions.

"hello." is the counterpoint to my otherwise busy self. It is a still frame in a fog-veiled landscape, blurred, hazy, yet all the more haunting for it. Sometimes they are mere silhouettes drifting through the sound, vague intimations of melodies that emerge from the mist and vanish again. Then suddenly simple lines crystallize, clear and immediate, before fading back into the haze.

Process
Every track on this album emerged spontaneously, born from the moment itself. I sat down, pressed record, and let the things flow. No overthinking, no perfectionism, only the urge to capture the here and now before it slips away. What you hear is what happened in that instant. A texture, a melody appearing out of nowhere. Minimalist in form, yet rich in emotion. This music reveals my quiet side, that self which strives for deceleration, which dwells in the now and transforms impressions into sound as naturally as breathing. Each piece is an impulse made audible, a fleeting thought given form. It is a pause between breaths, a lingering in the moment before it dissolves.

Like a Polaroid capturing the essence of a vanishing moment, the diffuse light, the blurred atmosphere, the unrepeatable accident, "hello." reflects instants that can never be fully grasped or recreated. Still lifes in stillness, which despite their calm are permeated by countless sounds and impressions. It is the beauty of the imperfect, the transient, the barely visible, the unplanned.
"hello." is an invitation to pause, to lose yourself in the fog and to discover the essential in the blurred, to feel the aliveness within the stillness.

hello.

an autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea.

by: Saitō Sanki

Saitō Sanki (1900 – 1962) was a dentist who discovered his passion for haiku poetry in his mid-thirties, when his colleagues at the hospital in Soto Kanda convinced him to write a haiku for a collection. Later, he became one of the most important exponents of wartime haiku: he was imprisoned in 1940 during the government’s World War II persecution of controversial artists, and was officially forbidden to write until the end of the war.

Comfort Zone

Lempeä Street is a gentle journey through quiet urban corners, where birdsong, children’s voices, piano, and elusive violin melodies weave together. A delicate balance of city life and serene moments, this track captures the subtle beauty of everyday whispers and fleeting memories

Lempeä

Ambient textures, granular atmospheres, and evolving soundscapes.

100% human-made music - no AI involved.

I release new tracks almost daily - fragments of tone shaped by silence, noise, and time.

Follow to drift with me.
