One of the definitions of complacency is “to be completely satisfied right where you are.” And satisfied you will be, settled back in a comfortable chair, as you take in these mellow compositions which seem to shimmer like snowflakes in the air. This work evokes a slower, more peaceful approach to life.
This is an album to play when you are sitting along, reminiscing about bygone times. Subtle, restful melodies and sounds of nature guide the mind to positive, yet nostalgic reveries.
Tribe of Astronauts manifests yet again on Webbed Hand with this bevy of mutant sounds, showing eclectic styles of expression, as is to be expected of a collective of artists.
This is the third collaboration between Mystified and Saluki Regicide. This time the concept is unique: one is assigned all frequencies below 1kHz, and the other gets everything above. The upper and lower halves were not united until the final mix, and then only adjusted for compatible levels and fades.
Beyond Absence debuts on Webbed Hand with this engaging and meditative set of instrumental improvisations. A delightful eyes-closed ambient journey, expressing a peaceful approach to music. These recordings are a personal journey of two friends, seeking to find the deeper impulses and feelings in music.
Alan Florit’s project Snowman Lost His Head has recorded a collection of deep moodscapes called “Monster.” These compositions are a reverie on the human condition, as illustrated in abstract sounds.
Drone Wallah finally contributes a piece to Webbed Hand’s popular Rain series. Added to the ambient organ drones are the subtle sounds of nature which characterize the Rain series.
This short collection of contemplative ambient soundscapes crafted with electric guitar is Mike Farley’s netlabel debut. Both as a personal exercise in communion with the numinous and an expression of insight, they successfully convey a sense of the spiritual life.
Introspection is a long-form ambient melodic (organ) drone composition by Drone Wallah (C.P. McDill of Saluki Regicide, Djinnestan, etc). A nice all-purpose drone piece you can play quietly, loudly, or any way you please.
Dark ambient, drone, musique concrete, field recordings, and orchestrated noise are all descriptions which easily fit this collection of quiet yet deep mood pieces. This is the third album on Webbed Hand by Audio Gourmet.
