shn shn :: everything from before lives here. (Imaginary North)
The album everything from before lives here is a 21-track full discography cassette featuring shn shn’s lush vocals, creative production, and experimental soundscapes, blending electronic textures with emotional depth.
Rudy Adrian :: Beyond the Sleepy Hills (Spotted Peccary Music)
What makes this different from the other albums by Rudy Adrian is that the amazing musical events are deliberately subtle and soft — and hopefully soothing, without becoming saccharine. The intention is to always ensure that the ingredients are unobtrusive and will allow the listener to fall asleep without encountering music that is dissonant or melodramatic.
Maps and Diagrams :: Islands (Handstitched*)
As you listen, following the slowly emerging sustained long tones, the suggestion of rattling bones, sunshine, lavender and beautiful clean beaches come to mind.
Deborah Martin & Cheryl Gallagher :: TIBET (20th Anniversary Remaster) (Spotted Peccary Music)
Deborah Martin & Cheryl Gallagher’s hope is that these musical impressions will take you, the listener, on the same imaginative and magical journey to Tibet that they experienced.
Ümlaut :: The Black Square (Self Released)
These memory-recordings expose the complex relationship between music and silence. They say that the ambient umbrella constantly expands the notions of what music might be. The Black Square could be wordless new ear poetry for the constant listener. I think that The Black Square might be a series of sound situations that flow and change as they go.
Craig Padilla & Zero Ohms :: To Sleep On Stellar Winds (Spotted Peccary Music)
To Sleep On Stellar Winds is an epic space music album with Berlin-school influences that feature unique blends of modular synthesizers and wind instruments, to carry all listeners floating along the cosmic breezes to the outer edges of the universe, and beyond.
Shahzad Ismaily, Stanford Cheung, Andrea Scala :: ENDROLL EP (Aural Shapes)
ENDROLL is an EP that weaves together a landscape of multi-instrument improvisations. The genesis of this album began with the question of whether all music needs a beginning, and instead, to hypothesize on whether music could still retain intention when drawn from a place of “finality.”
