Report: Shimmering Moods presents podcast by Havdis

The darkness of November is continuing to bite into our souls. Chase those shadows away by submersing yourself into this ethereal drift created by Odd for the Shimmering Moods podcast series.

Plunging into the depths of October

We are in the middle of October, darkness is all around us and the rain and moisture is seldom far away. We huddle inside our homes and cottages, hiding from the elements underthick blankets and lulled into relief through deep and mellow music hinting to the other side. We present two of these albums to you today.

[gterma038] : Seetyca - Lieder Zum Summen (out now)

Songs for Humming is a very intimate affair, an album in strong symbiosis with the elements. Here are sixteen short songs, somewhat melancholic and almost bordering on the naive. You can feel the chill of the autumn air, smell the humid earth in your hand, taste the decay of fallen leaves. We are used to s. delivering massive dronewalls and deep, hypnotic soundscapes. Here he shows up his contemplative side, with music turning your eyes to drift into the deep blue sky. The album comes in a jewel case with 16-page booklet.

[gterma039] : Jason Sloan - Deluge (out now)

If we have any StillStream fanatics here chances are you might remember this performance, which originally streamed live on the Sadayatana show back in 2011. Although then presented without title, Jason intended for this piece to capture the aftermath of our world after having suffered through a grand deluge. gterma are very happy to bring back to life again this emotional recording. Jason has also kindly composed for us a brand new epilogue which now closes the album. Comes in jewel case with 16-page booklet.

Report: Thor Heyerdahl 100th anniversary

The all-knowing Google today reminded us that 100 years have past since the birth of the esteemed Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl, the man who conquered the Pacific on his historically inspired raft the Kon-Tiki.

We do a little mini-celebration of our own by playing a related track from the Rano Raraku album, which was released on the netlabel Load & Clear back in 2010.

Havdis - A Disappearing Tide

Our Norwegian friend Havdis, here teamed up with photographer Arne Martin Slaatsve, invites us to go on a journey on a disappearing tide.

Exit Summer

Last week's incessant rains have sent a clear message; autumn is here, and yes it is going to stay. Recently we also bid the Swifts a nostalgic farewell as they gathered up their younglings and headed south for the coming winter. As the darkness slowly descends upon us, replacing the glow of the warm evening colours, it is time to crawl back into the studio to begin work on the autumn's releases. Expect to see previews beginning to appear over the coming weeks. Safe journey, fellow travellers.
