Being primarily a screenwriter and movie producer Max is also recording guitar music based on simple harmonies and melodies, yet very complex due to the use of sound effects and processing. It can be described as guitar ambient with meditative repeats, simple melodies that dissolve one into another, and also huge spaces, created by echoes and delays.

Description: Dear friends! As some of you might have heard, there's a sort of a revolution currently going on here in Ukraine. Movement that began with the peaceful students’ protests who were supporting Eurointegration in Ukraine (and were brutally dispersed on 30th of November 2013) turned into the national resistance called the Euromaidan. Since that time in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities people are going out to the streets willing to change the situation in Ukraine, moving towards the Eurointegration, fighting corruption, getting rid of arbitrariness of the authorities and dysfunctional judicial system, trying to stop limiting the liberty of speech. However, the authorities responded to the citizens on 16th of January with new laws according which everyone who has taken part in the protests goes in prison. So new 2014 started with new blood and violence. Our country is on the verge of a civil war.

This compilation by Ukrainian label and promo agency AZH, featuring tracks by Blueneck, Her Name is Calla, Arms and Sleepers, Lights Dim, Sleeping Bear, Endless Melancholy and lots of other great artists is an action of solidarity with those, who are fighting for the justice and right to live in the civilized country. This is another way of fighting, indirect, using music as mediator to reach people all around the world, who are still not realizing importance of everything that is happening in Ukraine. Thousands of people need a support, we need a voice.

The money earned on this compilation will be sent to the organizations, which are helping victims of the protests and independent medias who keep doing their job despite intimidation.

A Veil of Water - Reminder

Size: 135 Mb
Label: Hidden Vibes

Tracklist:

01. Estrela 

02. Nostalgia 

03. Echoes

10. The Rose Quartz 

11. Fall 

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.

02. Refracción

04. La Otra Verdad

05. Desfase

06. El Mascarero

07. La Voz Quebrada

Description: La Voz Quebrada is the second album by Claro de Luna, the post / progressive rock project by Jose Acuña, released after more than two years since the debut album, Lo Que Ha Sido Y Lo Que Será. It is a conceptual album, inspired by the gaps and voids in the communication process that we experiment every day. Although it’s an instrumental album, the vocals in some songs serves as an extra instrument, along with invited musicians, playing cello, sax and flute.

-

The gaps and voids in the communication process affect our daily lives, either talking with friends and strangers, or via the role of mass communication such as the press. We are surrounded by errors in language, used to express what we really want to say. The slightest misinterpretations can deform and mutate the message, beyond it’s original meaning.

When the words we say can’t be expressed as truth, and the message can’t be delivered to where or whom it is intended, the fragile chain in communication breaks, and our interpretation refracts the original message and its primary intention.

The interpretation, the intention, the approach, the context… are some of the factors present in the communication process that could transform an original message into something completely different, leading to missinformation, ill-founded opinions, personal conflicts and many other social and individual problems.

Like A Villain​ & The Early - Split

Like A Villain​ & The Early - Split

Genre: Avant-Garde

Format: mp3 | CBR320kbps

Country: USA

Size: 88 Mb

Tracklist:

01. Like A Villain - Mystics Vs. Skesis Conjunction of the Three Suns Revival

02. Like A Villain- I Love You Pikachu  

03. Like A Villain - For Reasons Still Unknown 

04. The Early - Nome 

05. The Early - John Brown  

Description: You might have already heard of Like a Villain, if you like musical explorations through last.fm. This is a project of Holland Andrews from Portland, Oregon, creating "ethereal melodies of melancholy and strangeness". Her music is an experimental mix of instrumental melodies and singing, sometimes hypnotic, sometimes very emotional, and at the same time quite innovative. Call it avant-garde or post-whatever, or just enjoy the tracks. Having previously released two albums, Like a Villain now decided to collaborate with another project from Portland, The Early, for a split album, released by Friends For Life Records. The Early is a full-band of two guitarists and a drummer producing experimental semi-improvisational (or even fully improvisational) instrumental madness. I would call it post-rock, and hopefully this doesn't create the clichéd image of this genre in your head. Anyways, both parts of the split are united by the main idea of experiments in music, and surprisingly this is a very good, enjoyable record, that makes you want to re-listen it over again.
