Noncompliance

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on Bypass by Mel

After his "Un" released on Bypass #18, Mel returns to Bypass with his new "Noncompliance". Actually I have tried to describing what my feels after i listend this album, but i think theres just only one word - Beautiful.Notes from Mel:"Noncompliance" was produced in spring, 2009. "Intro" was recorded in a studio in June, 2009. Mel and friend "Junji" performed collaboration in a studio. Friend "Junji" plays the guitar in "Intro". The guitar sound of "Junji" is very unique.All the tracks except "Intro" were produced by Mel alone. Mel produced ambient music characterized by a drone till now. However, in "Noncompliance", different approach is tried.Please confirm the result with your ear.

Klint

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on phonocake by idhren

The furrowed brows relax from work and the evening stars saunter in the oceanic vastness, seeking for the prompt satisfied hospitality, while 'sørgelig Sommerfugl' swirl around us, tiptoeing on the way to a church, on ramshackle and gradually space limited wooden ways, to touch the final gold in København, for a short moment of calm, before the politics of the wind will catch us again and we find ourselves in a play repeating chimes of life. Let ourselves bed on Moroccan roses and put Benzoin resin on the puck made of coal, slightly nudge the boat and lets drift out of the haven.

Proyecto de Prueba & Void>Null

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on enoughrecords by Void>Null

Proyecto de Prueba is an ambient project, with some elements taken from drone and concrete music. Goat and Raven had their own thoughts about antimatter while praising the dronelords in the city of Córdoba, Argentina, when in some obscure night of the year 2008 AD, they decided to release their first demo. It was untitled, but the fanbase call it "7", because of a strange stain on the upper right corner of the cover art. A split with Void>Null was released on February, 2009. In this album, we can feel how they have moved to a more traditional ambient sound, but keeping some sources from concrete music.

rare decay

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by offthesky

What an enormous output this year by Jason Corder aka offthesky. 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.

Start Here

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by [unknown]

Since 1994 jmdkm has been active in the arts, particularly in painting, photography and sound. 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.

Commute

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by Off Land

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).

Machine

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by Glenn Ryszko

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.

BIRD REQUIEM

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by Summons of Shining Ruins

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.

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by sylvie walder & entia non

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.

the repeating thoughts of old zinng-zanng

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by gillicuddy

"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?

Midland

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by Phillip Wilkerson

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.

Sun Chariot

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by Gardens From Light

You might remember Gardens From Light from their massive Resting Bell-double-feature "Birds Of Joy And Sorrow", released in October 2007. 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.

Time / Line

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by Saito Koji

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. Please enjoy.

lbrnm

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by jeremy bible

With "lbrnm" Jeremy Bible presents his first solo work on Resting Bell. 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.

Stationary Drift

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by Mem1

"Stationary Drift" by Mem1 (Mark and Laura Cetilia) is a calm and beautiful 4-track EP combining electronic sounds and cello to an organic musical symbiosis.This EP starts with "Hanging Valley", a easeful and meditative piece, with soft droning cello sounds and electronic glitches like footsteps in the snow. "Accretion" begins with a deep growling tone under a layer of light sound-textures, ending in a loud merging movement. You can hear dripping notes and oscillating high tones like glaring sunlight in "Penitentes", named after a special snow formation found at high altitudes. And in "Stationary Drift" you can hear a sonic fog, everything covered with a nebulous blanket.A perfect soundtrack for a walk in the snowy forest, listening to crunching snow under your feet and feeling the cold and clear air around your nose. Or to cool down a bit if you live in the southern hemisphere with some warm summer weather these days.

Mirrors

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by Petr Drkula

Petr Drkula (Czech Republic) released several albums on netlabels like Test Tube, AudiTong, Digitalbiotope, Abdicate Cell, Mahorka, Protoplazma. 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.

George Orwell's Glass House

2025-09-24 19:30:06

released on restingbell by Environments

Environments is a slow, continual, and site-specific side project of the members of Celer, Will Long & Danielle Baquet-Long. The sound based on 100% field-recordings, typically left completely unprocessed.This 15-minute piece was recorded in Isla Vista, California, at George Orwell's glass house. The recording is very raw and rough, because of heavy wind, and very basic recording equipment: a Nikon digital camera. Danielle and Will only did a minimal mastering, so you have a pure and pristine acoustic impression of this particular spot. The recording was made in between the house (front cover) and the ocean (back cover).Put on your headphones, and let yourself travel to the coast of California. Feel the wind on your skin, the water on your feet, and know what it felt like to be in this particular place at that particular time.
