12. Vanishing Stars 

13. Ad Infinitum (bonus track)

Description: "Reminder" is the debut album by multi-instrumentalist Rune Trelvik, under the moniker A Veil Of Water. 

"Reminder" represents the culmination of a two year long journey through a tumultuous relationship. This album travels through the feelings of initial attraction, infatuation, love, hope, nostalgia, and the subsequent loss of the entire bond. 

Self-taught in piano, drums, guitar, and bass, Rune has drawn inspiration from a wide array of musical styles utilizing essences rather than direct influences by the bands and genres he appreciates. Experimental in nature, A Veil Of Water has been mostly associated with post-rock and neoclassical styles, yet remains faithful to its re-occuring melancholic theme. 

In short, A Veil Of Water tries to capture fleeting sensations, momentary glimpses, and feelings of longing, producing a musical representation of his internal world.

Country: France

Size: 82 Mb

Label: Hidden Vibes

Tracklist:

01. It Was Not Christmas But It Looked Like It 

02. Sketch For The Summer

03. 33 Roses

04. Believe Me

05. Softly Killed

06. Open Air

07. Something

Description: David Teboul goes by the moniker Linear Bells. He is a composer, multi-instrumentalist and sound artist based in Nantes, France. His music is a mix between, vintage instruments, sound manipulations and field recordings, all primarily created with acoustic and analogic instruments. 

Proudly presented by Hidden Vibes, "For Your Eyes Only" was composed and produced over a period of 4 months whereby it was practiced over improvised sessions played outside only (gardens, beaches) and recorded on a reel to reel Ampex system, followed by processing all the materials with the use of cello, piano, guitars and field recordings. 

"For Your Eyes Only" can be seen as a new step in the work of Linear Bells as unlike of his previous works David Teboul tried here to keep his songs as acoustic as it could be, trying not to over process his sounds to keep this wonderful fragility alive and that makes this album a little jewel of intimacy where hidden treasures await you.

Endless Melancholy - Five Songs

Endless Melancholy - Five Songs

Genre: Piano/Contemporary Instrumental/Modern Composition
Format: mp3 | CBR320kbps
Country: Ukraine
Size: 30 Mb

Tracklist:

01. We Have Met Before

02. A Place Called Home

03. Leave

04. Nowhere, Never

05. Nostalgia

Description: "Five Songs" is a small, semi-improvised EP, recorded in one week. Please, find some time to take a listen while having your morning cup of tea or coffee. Don't forget to think of the ones you love and where do your roots come from. Don't forget to think of a place you were born. And remember one very important thing: this is not the end.

Titles of tracks 1 and 4 are inspired by a poem of Ukrainian poet Ivan Androschuk:

Мы с Вами где-то встречались

(розмінна фраза)

А ми зустрічались. Не тут і не в цьому столітті –

В наступному кадрі, чи може, в минулому світі,

Можливо, були ми квітками в одному суцвітті,

Чи просто – сусідніми днями в спекотному літі.

А ми зустрічались. Лиш спогад у пам'яті стерся.

Можливо, були ми двома половинками серця,

Луною і криком, чи змістом одного мовчання –

Ніде і ніколи, та все- таки ми зустрічались.

Ніде і ніколи, та все-таки ми зустрічались…

Два промені зірки в холодному просторі мчали,

Два промені зірки на мить перетнулись в дзеркалах:

А ми зустрічались…

А ми зустрічались…

А ми зустрічались…

Description: Myosotis is an ambient duo from the Netherlands. Amandus and Evert have been making music together for around 3-4 years now, at first solely guitars and piano. As of last year they have started producing ambient music together because of a mutual interest for ambient, which they entitled the Myosotis project. First intentions of a duo were to create "two sides of the same coin", which would include Light as well as Dark ambiences, and to combine the two.

Intersection is a debut release of Myosotis containing eight carefully selected tracks and being a kind of summary of years, that musicians spent working and experimenting in search of their own sound.

04. mt-s ml-e 

05. mt-r ml-l 

06. ml p mt 2

Description: not quite usual piano instrumental. A collaboration of Martin Lukanov (who is both a clasically trained pianist and a sound artist working in the fields of electroacoustic music and noise) and Mytrip (you gotta know this outfit for the split album with EUS, previously posted) seem not to aim for becoming another project, composing instrumental tunes in vein of the whole bunch of modern classical composers. "Two" is a kind of album, where you have to listen between notes, if you want to find the real beauty. Minimal and subtle piano, played by Martin Lukanov on the album, is very calming and gives a very different perception of this instrument. I'd go for the term "ambient piano" here, cause in this case piano really works for creating the ambience, but not the actual tune going throughout the whole composition. It works well with all the textures and droning layers added by Mytrip, and sometimes just brings the sonic pleasure from listening this to the highest point. The leading motif in the release is the dual nature of the process of collaboration, it reaches every part of the process, from the length of the pieces, through the total duration of the work, from the construction and location of the artists in the tracks, to the visual representation of the album.
