He has given us two great releases on term and autoplate. Now he returns with a 4-track-EP on Resting Bell.Musically related to the "Du Soleil ep" on atmoworks, "rare decay" presents four careful though stunning pieces. The entire release from beginning to end is a perfect compliment to lying down and watching the clouds lilt by. Or like listlessly gazing on a silent snow fall. It is a fitting soundtrack to harbor the softer side of winter's brittle curse. It's warmth beckons beauty that stirs fire in the icy corners of a torpid tundra landscape.Take a rest and enjoy this great piece of music.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3360">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3360</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3360">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3360</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/rare+decay+/3360">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/rare+decay+/3360</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>Boolean Sequencinghttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Boolean+Sequencing/33592026-02-21 0:18:38<h5>released on editora do porto by Les Hall</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3359_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on editora do porto by Les Hall</p>Cover design by David Matos.<p>Tags:<a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/browse/release/tag/lo-fi%20funk">LO-FI FUNK</a>, <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/browse/release/tag/chuck">CHUCK</a>, </p><p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3359">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3359</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3359">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3359</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Boolean+Sequencing/3359">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Boolean+Sequencing/3359</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/editora_do_porto/1177">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/editora_do_porto/1177</a></p>no reason to be ashamedhttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/no+reason+to+be+ashamed/33582026-02-21 0:18:38<h5>released on enoughrecords by alterior</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3358_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on enoughrecords by alterior</p>alterior is an experimental idm project - with some influences of breakcore and videogame music - from New Jersey in the United States.

He has been in a self-centered experimenting mode which has possibly gone into a naive approach."Start Here" contains 9 tracks on a scale from playful to noisy and it is all about trying to find out where it aches or not, trying to feel where it hurts so good. Taking an electro-acoustic path, with nothing but a dorky drum kit, 2 cheesy toy keyboards and some stomp boxes.In a way the sounds are a bit "harsh" but the notion throughout "Start Here" has always been melancholic and somewhat poetic..."Start Here" is a collection of arrangements written in 2007/2008 by jmdkm.The actual recordings came together in collaboration with Chris Groeneveld (additional guitar, piano, feedback & FX on track 6 & 8).The recording sessions mostly took place between August 2008 in Seget Gornji, Croatia and January 2009 in Utrecht, the Netherlands.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3348">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3348</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3348">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3348</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Start+Here/3348">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Start+Here/3348</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>Commutehttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Commute/33472026-02-21 0:18:38<h5>released on restingbell by Off Land</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3347_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by Off Land</p>Let's go back to 2006.I used to hate my job, the dead-end brainless work.Even more, I used to hate my commute.An hour by subway what would take 20 minutes by car if I had owned one.Everyday I walked to the subway, switching lines in town and took a 2nd line to the end.I dreamed that one day the subway would take me past the last stop, just keep going.Or maybe I would end up somewhere else, somewhere new.Music was my salvation, my soundtrack, those two hours each day.With or without music the commute was a score I listened to countless times.On two occasions, for posterity, I recorded the commute.Now it's 2009 and my life has changed so much.I look back into the dust of times and accompany a soundtrack to those days of travel.This was my commute.The Process: Commute is an experimental concept album about commuting. The album is the length of my commute in 2006. I recorded my commute four times (2 out and 2 back), overlapping all four audio recordings into one 68 minute sound collage. This soundscape became the foundation of the composition and the subtle ambiance heard throughout Commute. Tones were designated to various sounds; watery piano for people & chimes, dulcimer drones for cars, drums for rain & subway tracks, low drones for subway cars, and synths for general ambient noise. The structure was entirely in the hands of the field recording collage. It was my conscious decision however to break Commute up into three sections. Each section represents a different leg of the commute (1 - The walk to the subway / 2 - The ride downtown / 3 - The 2nd line outbound).<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3347">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3347</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3347">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3347</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Commute/3347">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Commute/3347</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>Machinehttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Machine/33462026-02-21 0:18:38<h5>released on restingbell by Glenn Ryszko</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3346_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by Glenn Ryszko</p>Last year Glenn Ryszko released his work "4.0 subtle distorted guitar drones" on Resting Bell as well as compilation-tracks for "SOUNDOFSLOWFLOW Vol.1" from Slow Flow Records and "listen" from duckbay. Now he comes up with his second Resting Bell-release called "Machine"."Machine" is a sublime minimal drone work, inspired by abandoned industrial places. Glenn was born in a coal mining area, which was closed down even before he was born. Nevertheless he was surrounded by these old facilities and industrial monuments which inspire him to this creation.The six tracks on "Machine" mainly consist of field recording and looped environmental sounds and looped tibetan bells. Both elements are processed and arranged with effects and software. Compared to the massive distorted work on "4.0 subtle distorted guitar drones" "Machine" is more minimal, less monumental. It has a really strong hypnotising and repetitive element, minimal drones on multiple layers and it is also a very rhythmic work.Please enjoy this beautiful release.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3346">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3346</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3346">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3346</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Machine/3346">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Machine/3346</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>BIRD REQUIEMhttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/BIRD+REQUIEM/33452026-02-21 0:18:38<h5>released on restingbell by Summons of Shining Ruins</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3345_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by Summons of Shining Ruins</p>Analog Vibrations. That points into the right direction. Summons of Shining Ruins is a project of Shinobu Nemoto, who works with electric guitar, tape delay, old rhythm machines, stompboxes and 4-track-recorders. No computer or software is used to record this work. And you can hear that in every tone."BIRD REQUIEM" sounds at the first listen extremly raw. You can not define what you hear in the first moment. But everything sounds a bit haunting, hidden under a layer of dust. But the longer you listen, the more you can feel how warm everything sounds and how spirited this work is. You can point out subtle melodies, coming to you through this thick curtain build by delay over delay and tone over tone. You can hear the rhythm machine, ticking and rumbling from the past. And at some points you can imaging voices or shapes, floating by.To follow Shinobu's advice: Listen to it loud and feel the analog vibration.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3345">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3345</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3345">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3345</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/BIRD+REQUIEM/3345">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/BIRD+REQUIEM/3345</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>bewildermenthttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/bewilderment/33442026-02-21 0:18:38<h5>released on restingbell by sylvie walder & entia non</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3344_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by sylvie walder & entia non</p>Sylvie Walder and entia non (James McDougall) are well-known names in the netlabel-world and beyond. Sylvie Walder released collaboration-albums with Phillip Wilkerson, Siegmar Fricke, and "_" (as Kakitsubata). entia non has released solo-works on test tube, IOD, u-cover, Resting Bell and contributions on compilations for duckbay and Slow Flow Recs.On "bewilderment" Sylvie and James create a rich and deep organic sound-cosmos. Droning background-layers, instrumental fragments, field recordings, voices, athmospheric glitches and crackles, all assembled to a breathing, living collage. Especially the first three tracks work with this sound-model. Based on Sylvie's piano recordings, James built up an impressive ambience by processing, re-arranging and re-structuring the material. The last track "le petit lac" is more guided by Sylvie's piano playing with only very subtle accouterments and mastering by James. The artists cooperate together over the huge distance between France and Australia, but the result actually sounds like they have sit together in the same studio and knew eath other since their school days.It's a pleasure to hear how all the different elements, layers and sounds fit together and result in a work that sounds so clear, whole and beautiful.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3344">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3344</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3344">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3344</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/bewilderment/3344">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/bewilderment/3344</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>the repeating thoughts of old zinng-zannghttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/the+repeating+thoughts+of+old+zinng-zanng/33432026-02-21 0:18:38<h5>released on restingbell by gillicuddy</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3343_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by gillicuddy</p>"grumpy folk with a grin", that's how gillicuddy, in real life Andi Rohden, titles his musical output. Mainly based on folk-orientated acoustic guitar-lines with slightly broken vocals and additional background-structure from a keyboard, melodica, accordion or a second guitar-line, his work reminds me mostly of Tom Waits, acoustic dEUS, non-electrical Notwist or Modest Mouse."the repeating thoughts of old zinng-zanng" is the follow-up to his "Shmalhans is Kuechenmeister"-release on Merzbau-Label and it is a very special thing. On the release-label it consists of 5 tracks, only numbered by roman letters I to V. Starting to listen, you'll first get two outstanding folk-pop-tunes. Track "I" has a certian "The Notwist"-feeling in my ears, a very clear and catchy melody, a bit melancholic but always with a shimmering light in the back. The track fades away after two minutes, and "II" starts. More dramatic and deeper, but also leaving a footprint in your auditory canal when it stops after another two minutes. Followed by "III" which means 10 seconds silence and then......you hear "the repeating thoughts". Is it the same? Is it slightly different? Am I in the head of a songwriter? Am I part of the process? Is it a joke?<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3343">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3343</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3343">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3343</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/the+repeating+thoughts+of+old+zinng-zanng/3343">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/the+repeating+thoughts+of+old+zinng-zanng/3343</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>Midlandhttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Midland/33422026-02-21 0:18:38<h5>released on restingbell by Phillip Wilkerson</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3342_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by Phillip Wilkerson</p>Phillip Wilkerson began creating ambient music in 2005. His work ranges from warm, peaceful ambience to the more abstract and experimental forms of electronic music, combining guitar, field recordings, synthesizers and generative software. You may know him from various releases on bypass, timetheory, Earth Mantra or Clinical Archives."Midland" is a 5-track-EP with a complete duration of about 27 minutes. Part I - IV are very homogeneous. A warm and continuous background-drone, spotted with shimmering high tones, flows through these tracks. Giving you the feeling to swim or fly on a soft layer of sound. But every part has still its own special character. And Part V is the grounding part. It’s a rework of the fourth part and Phillip gives this part a more concrete, tangible feeling by adding a slight melody and some careful beats. It gets you back on the ground after floating through the first four parts.For me it’s a very relaxing and dreamy work. It just lets me visualize places and pictures very easily while listening to it. Reminds me of a warm holiday, sitting on a hill, listening to humming insects and viewing a peaceful, unknown landscape. Really beautiful and inspiring.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3342">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3342</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3342">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3342</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Midland/3342">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Midland/3342</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>twenty feet for buddhahttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/twenty+feet+for+buddha/33412026-02-21 0:18:38<h5>released on restingbell by terje paulsen</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3341_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by terje paulsen</p>terje paulsen is a sound-artist from Kristiansand, Norway, working with simple instruments and equipment, sometimes self made, sounds from found objects and fieldrecordings from his local enviroment.

Other brunk-releases are available from WM Recordings and Dog Eared Records.The "winter ep" contains 4 tracks with a complete duration of 21 minutes, recorded in February 2008. All 4 pieces are slow, contemplative and guitar-driven with additional sounds and noises. Only "Laika's view", the first track, is really drone-based with floating noises and haunting melodies. The three other pieces are full of beautiful envolving guitar-melodies, enriched with background-noises, nature-sounds, talking, walking, footsteps and feedbacks.Very calming, soothing and beauteous.

This time Steven and Ian offer a single 16-minute track entitled "Sun Chariot".It's a very dense and deep track, and compared to "Birds Of Joy And Sorrow" it's more athmospheric and more complex. There is a continous drone throught this piece, layered with percussive elements, sublime field-recordings, haunted vocals, little keyboard sketches and higher oscillating tones. It is a beautiful movement of structures.And when the piece is over, from the eeriest of nights to the filtered lens of wateriest sunrises, you wonder how it can only be so short.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3339">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3339</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3339">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3339</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Sun+Chariot/3339">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Sun+Chariot/3339</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>Time / Linehttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Time+/+Line/33382026-02-21 0:18:38<h5>released on restingbell by Saito Koji</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3338_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by Saito Koji</p>Saito Koji is a musician from Japan, who creates wonderful minimal drone-music with guitar, keyboards, field recordings and some effects. He is known for his releases on Magic Book Records, Kesh Recordings and Gears of Sand Recordings."Time / Line" contains the two pieces "Time" and "Line", with a duration of 33 minutes each. "Time" is drone in the best way. You feel like standing in a field of clouds or wrappped in a warm blanket while listening to this. Just slightly shifting tones, moving very soft and slowly. Layer over layer, and only one big, resonant drone, oscillating between your ears. "Line", the second part, is more moving, more concrete. The tone is sharper, vibrates a little bit, and the shifting from one sound to the other is faster than in "Time".Both pieces are really great minimal drone music. Peaceful and centering.

Jeremy is well-known for his project with Jason Henry, his experimedia imprint and for his graphic/photo/video work."lbrnm" contains 3 reinterpretations of a koen park-piece titled "laburnum" originally released on the highly recommended "grey night clouds" release on experimedia. The original work sounds very clean, deep and calming. It is dominated by a own heartbeat, created with a higher "gong" tone and a subtle beat, giving the piece a very specific structure.The reinterpretations by Jeremy break this structure. He slightly shifts some elements further into the background, accents other elements, fills in some easeful parts and carefully adds some very, very gentle field-recordings, glitches and sounds. You can still hear the old elements and find some links to the basic material, but new atmospheres emerge from the original sources in these three pieces. A bit more drone, dustier, rustier, and more open.The original track is a great ambient-electronic-work. And with these three re-workings by Jeremy, you can get further perspective into this wonderful material.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3337">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3337</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3337">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3337</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/lbrnm/3337">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/lbrnm/3337</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>The Brittle Ballethttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/The+Brittle+Ballet/33362026-02-21 0:18:38<h5>released on restingbell by Etienne Michelet</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3336_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by Etienne Michelet</p>"The Brittle Ballet" is the new work from Etienne Michelet, a french composer and musician in the fields of minimal, classical and experimental music, wellknown for his "Calendaires"-series (released on Four Directional Doubt, frozen elephants and Resting Bell), the "Tombs for Anatole" (released via la nouvelle degelee) and various other releases."The Brittle Ballet" contains eleven miniature pieces with a compete duration of 14 minutes.All pieces are very minimal and calm, like fragile sketches.

He experiments with a clean-cut range of digital and audio sound sources in minimal way with sense of purity and clarity of construction. In this production he frequently use arpeggiating, delaying, layering, shifting and breaking of a structure in all parameters."Mirrors" is a single, 41 minutes long composition. The whole piece is built upon a shifting motive of sharp, harpischord-like tones, varying in arpeggio, speed and pitch. If you need a comparison, Steve Reich’s work (like Drumming or Six Pianos) gives you a good impression and works with the repetitive moment in a similar way.It's a very meditative work, which can make you calm and let you breathe deep.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3333">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3333</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3333">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3333</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Mirrors/3333">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Mirrors/3333</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>George Orwell's Glass Househttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/George+Orwell's+Glass+House/33322026-02-21 0:18:38<h5>released on restingbell by Environments</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3332_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by Environments</p>Environments is a slow, continual, and site-specific side project of the members of Celer, Will Long & Danielle Baquet-Long.

The recording is very raw and rough, because of heavy wind, and very basic recording equipment: a Nikon digital camera.

It is a monolithic work. Walls of guitar- and piano-drones are shifting slightly from one ear to the other. Compared to the earlier Resting Bell-releases, it’s a pure and stripped-down composition. No field-recordings are used on these tracks, no little melodic lines are dripping into your ears as usual with his work, but instead focus on slowly evolving melodies carefully drawn out.Put your headphones on, close your eyes and sink to the ground.Cover-Image by Shawn Himmelberger, www.himmelbergerdesign.com<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3328">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3328</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3328">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3328</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/A+Life+In+Abstract+Colours/3328">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/A+Life+In+Abstract+Colours/3328</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>Pays Natalhttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Pays+Natal/33262026-02-21 0:18:39<h5>released on restingbell by Julien Skrobek</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3326_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by Julien Skrobek</p>Julien Skrobek was born in Paris. As a teacher, he naturally became interested in the process of memorization and his work revolves around the relation between music, silence and memory. The main question it asks is: If I hear a note of music, when do I need to hear the next one in order to be able to build upon its trace?"Pays Natal" works with that question over a duration of 35 minutes. It’s a meditative experience and a test for listening habits. You hear short drones, little tone-sketches and long sequences of silence. It’s a deep and fragile work which needs a lot of attention. But it regives you a clear and bright state of mind. Perhaps the best way to listen to it is with headphones and closed eyes.

And he also pratices free improvisation with the Diatribes-project and runs the Insubordinations netlabel, dedicate to improvised music.His release "Stase / Contre Stase" contains two pieces of live-recordings. "Stase", recorded during the Mapping Festival, April 2008, is a 22-minutes-piece, based on prepeared sounds from an acoustic guitar. Drones and textures are flickering around in the beginning, shifting from front to back and increase to a point, where all sound-elements seem to thicken to a massive, pending drone. "Contre Stase", recorded in an empty room in an empty house, deals with a similar concept. All sound-textures and layers concentrate on a point, but after a short periode of attraction, the elements seem to drift away, floating into open spaces.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3325">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3325</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3325">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3325</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Stase+/+Contre+Stase/3325">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Stase+/+Contre+Stase/3325</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>Southern Recordingshttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Southern+Recordings/33242026-02-21 0:18:39<h5>released on restingbell by Mensa</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3324_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by Mensa</p>Mensa is a project by Edu Comelles from Barcelona, Spain.

Mensa works again with subtle sound-structures, but this time the sound seems to be a bit warmer, and sometimes rougher, covered with a thin layer of dust. The soft delay flickers like the hot summer sun in the noon. Little sound-glitches are flying around like grasshoppers and some soundscapes are reflecting like the surface of a cold lake.As all of Edu's work, the sounds are produced to be listened outside, in public spaces or natural enviroments.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3324">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3324</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3324">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3324</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Southern+Recordings/3324">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Southern+Recordings/3324</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>El Viaje Remixedhttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/El+Viaje+Remixed/33232026-02-21 0:18:39<h5>released on restingbell by The Cherry Blues Project</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3323_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by The Cherry Blues Project</p>The Cherry Blues Project released their album "El Viaje" back in 2001, in 2007 they rework the material into two new ablums "El Viaje Revisited Vol.1 & Vol.2".

These sounds are created through the blending of various instruments (12-string guitar, piano, violin, melodica, glockenspiel, various percussive instruments) and incidental found sounds.His recent release "a glass darkly" is an absolutly beautiful, meditative and touching piece of music. Haunting melodies, guitar- and piano-miniatures, fieldrecordings, string-drones are blended together carefully to a 22-minute expedition into a deep sea, a unknown forest or a pristine clearing just before sunset. Every sound evolves slowly from a little bud to a magical blossom, which fades away to become another flower again.A constant evolution, giving you the feeling of warmth, depth and oneness.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3320">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3320</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3320">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3320</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/a+glass+darkly/3320">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/a+glass+darkly/3320</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>tierra abiertahttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/tierra+abierta/33192026-02-21 0:18:39<h5>released on restingbell by calarco/juà¡rez</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3319_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by calarco/juà¡rez</p>Two great artists from Argentinia teamed up for a massive 14-minute sound piece: Juan Jose Calarco and Adrian Juarez.

Similar to their surroundings which contrast rural farmland against decaying industrial landscapes, the duo contrast various sounds and styles in ways that can be compared to the elegant and subtle color contrasts created by painters of fine abstract-expressionist art. Utilizing field recordings, found sounds, acoustic instrumentation and electronic soundscapes, their compositions take place in the wide field of musique concrete, experimental acoustic music, and electronic sound design."glare" is a huge piece of modern contemporary music. 5 tracks, about 60 minutes duration.From the first track, you can almost grab the intense and exciting spirit, being inherent in these pieces. Dark and gloomy melodies meet abstract glitches, lost radio frequencies, mysterious field recordings and other interferences. With all these ingredients, Jeremy and Jason create warm, nostalgic, and at times frightening scenery.It smells like old basements, dusty treasure chests, old physical instruments and yellowed pictures from your grandmother's photo album.The duo's growing catalog of "sound paintings", each creating a new experience, will see release through a growing list of labels including Resting Bell, Gruenrekorder, Abgurd, Gears of Sand, and their own imprint, Experimedia.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3317">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3317</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3317">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3317</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/glare/3317">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/glare/3317</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>Calendaireshttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Calendaires/33162026-02-21 0:18:39<h5>released on restingbell by Etienne Michelet</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3316_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by Etienne Michelet</p>Etienne Michelet is a young composer and musician from France.After his self-released works "Bleu Vespéral" and "Le Piano à Coudre (The Sewing-Piano)", this is the first release of his ongoing "Calendaires"-project, which moves in the fields of minimal, ambient, experimental music and classical music.This "Calendaires"-release contains two parts, both together over 50 minutes long. Part one begins in a very dark context. Deep, growling bass sounds coming to the surface very slowly, bringing some motives and melodies with them. All these parts are layered together to a monumental and threatening wall of sound, which collapses and falls apart into a deep and dark soundscape again. Part two brings more light to the listener.

The road which leads to the Western Lands, Burroughs tells us, "is devious and unpredictable. Today's easy passage may be tomorrow's death trap. [] To reach the Western Lands is to achieve freedom from fear."Far more than an interpretation of Burroughs' text, Tiago Sousa's "The Western Lands" retraces itself the journey of an artist towards an unknown territory, aiming not at a conclusion', but a transition: Just as Burroughs intersects the present with an hallucinatory beyond', subverting our common notion of reality', Tiago Sousa's seven compositions draw upon both the noisy and the melodious, loose rhythms as well as hypnotic repetitions, parallels of equal value which never converge to one simple truth, one simple solution. It comes as no surprise, then, that "The Western Lands" also marks the introduction of a second voice to Sousa's musical spectrum the guitar, new counterpart to the piano, the former protagonist of his two earlier works ("Crepúsculo", 2006, and "Noite / Nuit", split with french artist SRX, 2007): From the frail harmonies of "The Writer" and "The Valley", to the harsh and discordant sounds of "Can any soul survive the searing fireball of an atomic blast", the sinister melancholy of "The Road to Western Lands" pieces like "Waghdas", "Ka" and "Centipede's City" always hold Sousa's work in an unsettling balance, never quite yielding to either side, unfolding a wide musical landscape we as listeners can wander in: A musical cut up', equally "devious and unpredictable", whose lost part are for us to find: "The most obvious road is almost always a fool's road."<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3315">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3315</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3315">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3315</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/The+Western+Lands/3315">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/The+Western+Lands/3315</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>The Coast By Trainhttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/The+Coast+By+Train/33142026-02-21 0:18:39<h5>released on restingbell by Regosphere</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3314_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by Regosphere</p>Regosphere is Andrew Quitter, a really productive man from Portland, Oregon. He does harsh noise music with "Suburbia Melting" since 1998, is running the DumpsterScore Home Recordings label, and between all this, he finds time for his new project Regosphere with synth miniatures, dark ambient elements, field recordings and lo-fi noises.
The three pieces on "The Coast By Train" have a duration from 8 to 15 minutes. The ride starts with "In Darkened Hills", an ambient drone piece with oscilating synthesiser tones, tiny glitches and a modulating dark soundscape in the background. "The Ghost Were Hung By Wire" is a haunted and spooky piece, very athmospheric and very fragile. The last track "Black Keys" is a 15 minute melodic journey with field recording parts, synth patterns and a beautiful melody, crawling into your ear.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3314">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3314</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3314">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3314</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/The+Coast+By+Train/3314">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/The+Coast+By+Train/3314</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>Encounter Pointhttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Encounter+Point/33132026-02-21 0:18:39<h5>released on restingbell by Off Land</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3313_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by Off Land</p>Off Land is an ambient project by Tim Dwyer. With ambient textures, little field recording snippets, spoken word phrases and classical instruments, Off Land takes place in the space between minimal, ambient and contemporary classical music.
With 8 pieces and 75 minutes duration, "Encounter Point" is a monumental ambient work. All pieces are arranged very carefully and with a great sense for intensity and tension. The single tracks seem quite minimal and pure on the surface, but when you listen carefully, you can hear layers of different sound sources. There are outdoor-field recording parts, layered with soft keyboard patterns that fade into a slight beat, combined with a shy guitar melody. Every layer is like a unique story line through the complete work.
It's a great acoustic quality when you've a huge depth of multiple sounds in the composition which don't crush you, but instead give you the possibility to explore more and more with each listening.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3313">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3313</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3313">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3313</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Encounter+Point/3313">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Encounter+Point/3313</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>Live in Dresdenhttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Live+in+Dresden/33122026-02-21 0:18:39<h5>released on restingbell by The Love Songs</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3312_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on restingbell by The Love Songs</p>The Love Songs is the amazing one man arkestra Sven Swift. Swift lives in the North of Germany, runs the CDR- and Netlabel 12rec.net and writes reviews about free music at Phlow Magazine and his own blog RUBored.org.
In June 2007, Sven performed a 25-minutes live-set at the DIY 2.0 festival in Dresden. The whole set consists of one well-structured, tension-filled piece of drone music, created with analogue synthesizers and effect-feedback only (an exception is the little nightingale-chant framing the performance). The complete recording is naturally placed atop the sound of the audience and city underneath, people chatting around, an ambulance passing the venue. It was Alexander Peterhaensel who carefully recorded all of this.
Listening to his recording will engage you with the enormous dynamics and ornamental structures of Sven's composition. It starts with the solely song of a nightingale, very soft and quiet. After a little while there are the first background-noises more harsh, combined with harmonic keyboard-patterns. These soft patterns are raising to a deep and warm drone-blanket, sometimes disturbed by sharp noises and feedback. All this ebbs away in the end, as you hear the nightingale sing again.

On his first release “katedra”, he operates with very minimal, subtle drones and little repetitive elements, shifting into each other. Originally written for a performance in cathedral space, the first two pieces (”katedra jeden”, “katedra dwa”) are very light, crystal and create a wide open, meditative soundscape. The third piece (”flora”) is a more dense production, just taking you back from the big, enormous “katedra”. All elements in this work are used very carefully and with a great sense for change at the right moment. Every tone seems to appear from a different direction, waving around, striving to heaven. All together a very deep, atmospheric and sublime creation.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3310">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3310</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3310">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3310</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/katedra/3310">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/katedra/3310</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/restingbell/712</a></p>Realm of the New Day - The Remixeshttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Realm+of+the+New+Day+-+The+Remixes/33092026-02-21 0:18:39<h5>released on enoughrecords by Mikroben Krieg</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3309_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on enoughrecords by Mikroben Krieg</p>New album from Thisco legend Sci Fi Industries. 12 tracks of electronic music remixes and colaborations of Luis Van Seixas with many different projects between 1997 and 2008.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3309">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3309</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3309">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3309</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Realm+of+the+New+Day+-+The+Remixes/3309">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Realm+of+the+New+Day+-+The+Remixes/3309</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/enoughrecords/118">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/enoughrecords/118</a></p>Doishttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Dois/33082026-02-21 0:18:39<h5>released on enoughrecords by Ikimashoo Aoi</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3308_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on enoughrecords by Ikimashoo Aoi</p>Another release by Portuguese project from Braga called Ikimashoo Aoi, this time showing his indie pop rock side with a 2 track EP.<p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3308">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3308</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3308">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3308</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Dois/3308">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Dois/3308</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/enoughrecords/118">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/enoughrecords/118</a></p>Slow Impacthttp://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Slow+Impact/33072026-02-21 0:18:39<h5>released on enoughrecords by Eletrólise</h5><img src="http://media.sonicsquirrel.net/image/release/3307_RS_75.jpg" /><br /><p>released on enoughrecords by Eletrólise</p>New dark ambient release from our portuguese friend Pedro Vieira under his solo project Eletrólise.<p>Tags:<a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/browse/release/tag/dark%20ambient">DARK AMBIENT</a>, </p><p>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0">Creative Commons | by-nc-nd</a></p><p>m3u: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3307">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/m3u/3307</a><br />zip: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3307">http://sonicsquirrel.net/get/release/zip/3307</a></p><p>Release page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Slow+Impact/3307">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/release/Slow+Impact/3307</a><br />Label page: <a href="http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/enoughrecords/118">http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/enoughrecords/118</a></p>
