Found some sweet sounds while climbing out of a fresh bout of the ole NINE-TEEN. I can at least be thankful that this is only my second run so far! It's also lucky, I suppose, that my isolation just happened to be in the very same BEDROOM studio! So forgive my weak voice but hope you find some sound...

🌐 "Writings become more cohesive, and music flows through the air. As I traverse this winding path, emotions deepen within me. I sense a dormant feeling stirring, nudging me towards oblivion. Like the trees, I am alive. Yet, each day brings me closer to death, only to be reborn again before confronting it once more."

🔰 Abtin Sadati, known by his artist name Gaetha is a sound artist based in The Netherlands, who embraces self-expressionism, with a profound fascination for improvisation and algorithmic composition. His musical expression revolves around the fusion of self-designed digital musical instruments, capable of producing undertone drones or intricate noises, within immersive sonic environments and evolving soundscapes. His artistic endeavours delve deep into existential and emotional realms, aiming to encapsulate the precision of computer-generated compositions while reflecting the nonlinear essence of his being.

🌠 "But here, ‘glacial’ does not refer to ‘cold’ or ‘dark’: the music on Let Us Compare Geographies is ‘hopeful and optimistic, finding the tones and melodies that link us as people together no matter the kilometres of separation’."

💡 Review @ ambientblog.net

Comparing geographies with Canadian small towns with Kilometre Club, and Brannan Lane's music for a refreshing powernap.

How does one beat a quick spat of summer heat? A quiet retreat? Somewheres in there we get away and find some comfort in sights and sounds. *Cover today just a quick dash shot on a cross-border drive this past week

💥 OUT NIW 💥 Kilometre Club - Let Us Compare Geographies (vital034)

⚡ After slight silence we are coming back stronger than ever with a new release. Kilometre Club's latest album is a textured and slow-moving exploration of the size and scope of the Canadian landscape. Tracks were carefully built upon guitar loops, Bass VI swells, and synth pads, creating ethereal and flowing drones that evoke the distance between spaces. Many of these tracks unfold at glacial paces, highlighting the vastness between chord changes and the ways in which these songs evolve and fill out frequencies to create lush soundscapes.

🚩Kilometre Club is the moniker of Toronto-based musician Daniel Field, who has been creating ambient music. He has released music independently with labels such as Valley View Records, Healing Sound Propagandist, Polar Seas Recordings and We Are Busy Bodies. He also runs the Toronto-based digital ambient label Imaginary North.

A felicitous confluence of two distinct sound worlds/whorls in a zone notionally adumbrated by texture-mappers.
