pulse emitter
outdoor session c60

portland based synthesizer obsessor daryl groetsch toted his gear into his backyard last august for an outdoor session. this was the first time pulse emitter recorded outside. “it was very inspirational. it’s normaliI guess for an acoustic musician to take their stuff outside but not so much for electronic musicians”. groetsch said about the jam. “i had actually played an outdoor fest right around the same time and got a taste of it then. something about seeing the sky and plants while playing is good. the music was improvised using a setup that has become my new favorite way of playing, i’ve done more (inside) recordings in this style since. playing outside is definitely different with the sun beating down on you and your instruments, and ants crawling over everything, and flying insects, but it’s all part of the experience”. mike haley, tabs out

lovely synth stuff to lose yourself into it. recommended for listening sessions with sunbeams on your skin. but its magic works without that too, promise.

flamingo creatures

nacht fressen c42

unconventional music, similary to abstract painting, can be created not merely for evident beauty or relatable meaning but rather to evoke an emotion that lays deeper, beyond whatever is visible (or audible) on the surface. [...] this release is neither shallow nor pedantic. quite the contrary, nacht fressen is a truly insane case study on noise, ambience and field recordings. appreciating it as a true work of art is a no brainer.

forget your art school classes, art is for fun. proof? this tape!

raising holy sparks
bright angel trail c40

'one by one the cities fell, the lights went out. the world was dissolving, taking its stories with it. soon it would be gone... the green fields of summer, the abandoned, time-stilled towns, the forests thick with shadow... they were like a vision, they had slipped into eternity, a zone beyond time. there and not there, a presence unseen but felt, like stars in the daytime sky.' justin cronin, the twelve

dark and mysterious music for heathen dances around the fire in your living room. immerse yourself in ancient wisdom.

former selves - our air
 aloonaluna - visitors

c42

there is a poem from a childhood friend that always stuck with me. at night when I see the moon, or when I look at the sun directly in its eye, I sometimes still recall it. in this particular poem, it charts the unrequited love of the sun and the moon. oh, how the sun and the moon chase each other around the earth in the cosmos, never to really meet. how different but yet similar the two are, both with their varying lights and gravitational pulls on earth. the musical projects former selves and aloonaluna play out some similar scenario, as sun and moon, piecing together their own star-crossed variants of light and gravity. here on this split we have an intersection of sun and moon; the space where they meet. perhaps its those last few moments before the sun sneaks past the horizon, eyeing that graying moon.

remember, novalis said "we dream of a journey through the universe. but is the universe then not in us? inward goes the secret path." so come on, don't hesitate, be romantic. the truest beauty awaits you.    former selves (medley) by cosmic winnetou aloonaluna (medley) by cosmic winnetou

innercity

träumata c90

beware, this one is a concept album. hans dens' style all around, his trademark disturbing lofi-foundsound-loops, but i have a feeling this one is a bit more conceptional as his many other works. in the beginning of each side of this massive tape there is no hope in sight, just darkness and confusion, but hans won't let the listener alone in a fragmented soundscape, instead he takes him by the hand and lead him to some kind of extatic light. once per side, unforgetable and life changing.

sounds that orchestrate your traumas and your dreams. the witchdoctor knows you will  need it for your next self healing listening session.
