A lesson in impermanence...

Who would have thought that the 100th post on this page would concern a grim lesson in the finitude of all things of shape and form (and perhaps even more so, the things that are not represented as part of the tangible part of the universe).






We thank the creators for this timely reminder of the impermanence of all entities and begin to pick up the pieces from here. Some small delays will undoubtedly be the result of our dealing with a now slumbering digital archive.

Engulfed by October

Yes, it is that time of year again, when the last of the migratory birds have given up on the season and headed for their winter habitats. The rest of us up here prepare to ride out yet another dark season and here at label hq we've been quite busy as of late. The first batch of releases has begun the manufacturing process and we hope to see these out in a couple of weeks from now. There should also be time for one more wave of release as we get closer to Christmas. For now, let us just pull a blanket over our heads and await the coming of November...

Late night listening: Undara featured on latest Hypnagogue podcast

Our Portuguese friends Undara are featured on this week's Hypnagogue podcast, which has a decidedly tribal feel, in fact sitting next to a track by the wonderful mystery band Penjaga Isaf whose recent album on Loki sublabel Power & Steel has been getting a lot of spins around the gterma headquarters. Anyways, lots well known acts featured in this podcast which could be a source of inspiration for those who wish to dwell deeper into the other side of ambient. The podcast can be found on the Hypnagogue website.

Report: New Urenga EP on Stasis Recordings

Our gterma mainstay Andras Kiss has just released a new EP on the Toronto-based digital label Stasis Recordings. The four track "Echinoderm" consists of both fast-paced tracks and floating ambience. Andras has also recently been working on material for another digital release due to be out soon. You can also expect to see Urenga pop up soon again on gterma with a collection of old pearls. The Echinoderm EP is available from Stasis' Bandcamp page.

Enter September

Summer has definitely begun to fade here in Scandinavia after an unusually long and warm summer. As the dark season slowly descends upon us we start looking ahead to an autumn with deep listening experiences.

Late night listening part 3

Time again for a gterma feature on the ambient show "Seance" on Czech Radio 1. Joseph Sedloň has put together an hour of his favourite tracks from some of the more recent releases on the label. You can see the program tracklist here and also find the program available for download here.

Havdis returns to gterma

Halfway through August we can begin summer slowly drawing to its close. Havdis and gterma are happy to announce a celebration to the long twilight nights of the north. The new album Nightbreeze is currently being assembled and should be available in early autumn.

While we wait for the new album to complete, here is a chance to indulge again in last year's wintery tale The Hidden Islands.
