wh088 The Nature of Light – A Lullaby for Madisen
Webbed Hand Records welcomes in 2008 by welcoming a new artist to the label. A Lullaby for Madisen is the first album on Webbed Hand for The Nature of Light. This set of recordings is a soothing ambient journey made up of electronic, electroacoustic, and field recorded elements, blended nicely into a continuous flow.
wh087 Mystified – Through Sleep and Beyond
After a hiatus of some time Mystified returns to Webbed Hand with a new album of musique concrete soundscapes with soothing drones and subtle exotic motifs.
wh086 Tribe of Astronauts – Rain 3
Tribe of Astronautsâ Rain 3 is a symphony in drone, recorded on a very windy day. The listener is transported in a place of wide and profound resonance.
wh083 Saluki Regicide – See Things
This is the first long-form recording by Saluki Regicide outside of the “Rain” project. Using as a foundation a long-form composition by Akashic Crow’s Nest, Saluki Regicide adds layers of characteristic embellishments: obscure samples, bizarre rhythmic loops, peculiar washes of sound, snippets of string melody, all adding up to an interesting meeting of styles.
wh082 Mystified – Rain 1
Mystified’s Rain 1 is a minimalistic and hypnotic composition intended for deep listening (or sleep listening). Panning across the stereo spectrum is a bright sound with a patter of rainy static in its wake. Strangely soothing and stimulating at the same time.
wh081 Mystified – Rain 2
Mystified’s Rain 2 is a shimmering hailstorm of mysterious percussive sounds resonating across a wide space. This is foremost an album of auditory texture which seeks to induce in the listener a reverie of vague mental associations and feelings.
wh078 Akashic Crow’s Nest – Hawk of an Uncanny Nest
Akashic Crow’s Nest’s first regular album release of 2007 continues ACN’s adventures in ambient sound generated from images. The tracks in “Hawk of an Uncanny Nest” explore different mythic ideas of the otherworld. The sound spaces themselves are sculpted to create soothing and transporting experiences for the listener.
wh077 Djinnestan – Rain 3
A third Rain-themed longform ambient composition by Djinnestan. Perhaps still in a forest, but now at the banks of a stream, with wisps of fog, chirping crickets, the moon, and other mysterious nocturnal elements. This CD-length work creates a nice acoustic mood for meditation or sleep. It is recommended that you play it at low volume, as it is meant to be listened to peripherally, not directly.
wh076 Akashic Crow’s Nest – Rain 2
The second soothing dreamscape by Akashic Crow’s Nest employs ACN’s characteristic generative textures plus additional ambient samples to sculpt a smooth and restful atmosphere to lull the brainwaves into a relaxed state. The ACN sound is distinguished by the use of an image synthesizer (pictures are translated into sounds) to produce most of the auditory elements used in its compositions. Very peculiar but often remarkably musical and uncannily magical.
