The gaye device A total dream of an album! I just float and drift around Device Manor when I play this. Anxiety levels nil and transported to a world of calmness and tranquility. So pleased to get a copy on cd! A great label with fantastic artists.

jehpassa This twilight April afternoon,
four floors above the wet earth, looking through our north window, over across-the-street brownstone slated roofs to last century towers dwarfed under endless grey-out sky.
A great maple,
trunk impossibly framed in sidewalk, swings her arms to spring gusts,
off-the-bay bluster.
She dances free;
a Brooklyn born ice breaker, effortlessly catching rain blessings offered from California lakes,
without a thought. Favorite track: Maide Voyage (I Am) Ready Now.

Fredrik Oestroem A welcome return to old-skool ambient. Gentle notes on the piano accompanied with soft synth pads and added field recordings. Comforting and embracing sounds that engenders peace of mind. The music is pleasantly fuzzy, like a soundtrack for a daydream, and the production is immaculate. Suspended In Silence is an album that will follow me for years to come. Favorite track: Cascade Of Prisms

This Side of Tomorrow Hipnotic Earth = hypnotic music. What a wonderful find in my 70th year, thank you. Favorite track: The Gentling.

about

Hipnotic Earth is an electro-acoustic ambient soundscape project birthed from a deep need for quiet, slow motion music; from a carnal urge toward silence. California, USA based artist Cosmos Rennert’s project began dramatically when in 2015 the scheduled release of his debut album ‘Essence’ was missed when his home in the hot springs of Harbin, Northern California burned down in a sudden wildfire which swept the community. His home, studio, possessions, work place and the tiny town in which he lived succumbed to the flames. He is now deeply grateful to be able to continue recording and we’re pleased to present, a record which sees a departure from Cosmos’ usual style of sleepy drones.

‘Suspended In Silence’ is the second in a series of three completed albums presenting a new, more melodic direction. Continuing with spacious, evocative and immersive drone-based tonalities, the vast majority of these pieces are one-off improvisations that were recorded during the mornings of mid-2018 in the wine country of California. Here there is a love for not remembering how a song is made. The modus operandi is quite spontaneous, be it the recording process or sound design and mixing of additional colours afterwards. Simply in
the moment with no agenda, this music strives for eternal endings and slow rotations around an axis of serenity. During the recording of these tracks birds and other creatures would sometimes meander into the apple orchard where the studio is located. They seemed to
be drawn to the music as if they wanted to be on the album and occasionally, their wish was granted!

Previously steeped in a tradition of dance music, tribal drumming and Jazz, Cosmos has a long love affair with live looping as a tool for both rhythmic and textural inspiration. What was once a style using mad-scientist dub controllers that strove to be improvisational with emphasis on listening and responding to the other musicians in the mix, has now
evolved into deeply meditative washes of relaxed balmy soundscapes for tired ears. For this newer calming sound of Hipnotic Earth, loopers are used only occasionally as a source of experimentation. The technique of modulating the feedback amount so as to sculpt the looped material as it fades and evolves over time yields surprising
results. A love for the silent spaces in music has always been important to this artist; the breathing and resting and stretching of phrases is a lesson learned from Miles Davis’ music as well as from so many great ambient artists.

Sallaw
by Porya Hatami | Aaron Martin | Roberto Attanasio

supported by 50 fans who also own “Suspended In Silence”

...Yet beyond crafting four distinct atmospheres, it's the evolution of each piece, the change in seasonal sound, that makes Sallaw such an excellent piece of story-telling. Rather than shown the imagery upfront, the listener is instead guided, and left with space to explore on their own. The ability of the trio's minimal musical writing to evoke such a coherent subject is made all the more impressive by the subtlety with which it is achieved.

A Room Now Empty
by Aaron Martin

supported by 47 fans who also own “Suspended In Silence”

This album makes me feel strong pulls of somberness and remorse, but a sense of maturity to it, as if it's but a distant scar now and am ready to move on. The choice of slow moving cellos is very welcome on this album and makes the full piece feel full. Bombchu Link
