Brian Evans' work reaches out and brings you within. Like a warm wind, you become suspended in its density. In its depth, we feel sweeping signs of hope, drifting without restraint.
We're proud to release such a beautiful album. Sloum makes us wonder and stare at our surroundings ; he seems to be able to give extra minutes to our days.
Kirill Platonkin's first release for Webbed Hand is a trio of shimmery drone-ambient blended with field recordings.
About the Album:
"The idea of creating this album is based on a conclusion, that a Human Being with his consciousness, is a very complicated psychic system, representing a Transfigurator. The point is, that everyday we get a lot of information: positive or negative impressions, news, observations, reflections and so on. Units of information are numerous, and in certain moments, all these units are processed by our minds, and turned into some item of creation - a picture, a song, a sculpture, what not. And it is truly difficult to predict, which way our consciousness will transform them. As for this album, it is a transfiguration of the complex of walks, talks, books, dreams and anticipation of summer."
About the Artist:
"I was born in 1986 in the Russian Far Eastern town Blagoveshchensk, and since early childhood was interested in enigmatic music - I started with the sound of Pink Floyd. At the age of 16 I learnt to play guitar, and some years after, besides listening to the music, I began writing it myself. First, it was psychedelic rock and avant-garde, but later drone ambient became the dominant preference." --K.P.

Bas van Huizen is a sound and visual artist (video/animation) from Nijmegen the Netherlands. You may know him from his "Ontgalman"-release on test tube or from his physical releases on Etherkreet records. A label focusing on electroacoustic and improvised music, which he runs together with Ezra Jacobs.
"Wegwerpwee" contains 8 tracks. According to Bas most of the material is older than "Ontgalman", but he mixed and remastered everything for this release. And it is a wonderful piece of electroacoustic-experimental-ambient-music. "Wegwerpwee" has a rough, down-to-earth, handmade touch. Very drony, with background-noises, hisses, crackles, melody layers, all mixed and set together very carefully and subtly.
Please also have a listen to "Ontgalman" at test tube and his output on Etherkreet. And to maximise your pleasure: Make sure to listen with headphones.
Bing Satellites returns with the fourth release in as many months.
'Time' is an ambient album but it is emotive and psycheldelic, touched by Bing's love of shoegaze and experimental music. The sounds on this album come from a wide variety of sources - synths, laptop, guitar, clapped ot old keyboards and objects lying around Bing's studio in Manchester.
This is the 10th release of the RAIN netlabel. But not only because of this it's special. This recording brings almost 5 hours of unique music.
Just try to imagine this landscape: a lake covered with unsearchable mist, surrounded by a dark forest...And finally inside the lake but also somewhere around - there is the abyss.
The abyss of dark, disturbing nightmares, silent voices and undefinable shapes.
Red Sea is jmdkm's 2nd audio release and is based on electro-acoustic improvisation.
jmdkm likes to present an almost soothing notion of sound. This collection tries to capture a more beatdriven gesture. The arrangments are edgy, eerie and somewhat overwhelming perhaps. The arrangments are edgy, eerie and somewhat overwhelming perhaps. The general idea is to perform and represent true ambient.
The actual recordings came together by using: AMfrequencies, toykeyboards, winds, percussion, FX & digital editing.
The arrangsments were written between 2009-2011 (Croatia / the Netherlands).

Grant and Rachel Evans construct monuments of sound that calcify and expand as deliberately as the soil beneath them washes away – time-lapsed and reversed erosion; melodies and distortion are extracted from sparkling beds of sediment and adhered to the foundation in algorithmic patterns of fractal intensity. Slow Architecture seeks out the empty corners of the psyche and builds its towering steeples of noise therein. This set of two pro-dubbed, imprinted cassettes is limited to 100 copies. Packaged together in a clear cassette album.
