Linear Bells - Le Cavalier Bleu

Linear Bells - Le Cavalier Bleu 


Genre: Ambient
Format: mp3 | 320 kbps
Country: France
Size: 98 Mb
Label: Hidden Vibes Netlabel

 
Tracklist: 
01. Dogs and Guns
02. A Treasure
03. There Is a Mountain

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. Teboul starting to produce sounds in the mid 90′s under the moniker of Embark. He created one of the first french net-labels named Acrylik, which was involved in electronica production and both digital and vinyl distribution. 

LE CAVALIER BLEU is inspired by Kandinski painting organization “Der Blaue Reiter”.
As the Der Blaue Reiter Almanac essays and theorizing with composer Arnold Schoenberg indicate, Kandinsky also expressed the communion between artist and viewer as being available to both the senses and the mind . Hearing tones and chords as he painted, Kandinsky theorized that (for example), yellow is the colour of middle C on a brassy trumpet; black is the colour of closure, and the end of things; and that combinations of colours produce vibrational frequencies, akin to chords played on a piano. Kandinsky also developed a theory of geometric figures and their relationships—claiming, for example, that the circle is the most peaceful shape and represents the human soul.

This release is a blurry vision of a tale where you could meet this dark rider overlapping his blue horse, enjoying great mountain landscapes and mysterious forests, colors and darkness.

This was achieve using, guitars, keyboards, bells, field recordings, bass.
It was recorded and mastered between april and august 2012.

Martin Lukanov & Mytrip - Two

Martin Lukanov & Mytrip - Two


Genre: Piano/Drone/Mod. Classical
Format: mp3 | 320 kbps
Country: Bulgaria
Size: 53 Mb

Tracklist:
01. ml-s mt-e
02. mt-l ml-r 
03. ml p mt 1 
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.

Short Hair Ideals - Immersion

Short Hair Ideals - Immersion

Format: mp3 | 320 kbps
Country: Ukraine
Size: 82 Mb

Tracklist:
01. Tides
02. Red
03. Winterbird
04. Intervals
05. Space
06. Immersion
07. Ending

Description: meet the long-awaited full-length of Ukrainian post-rock solo-project Short Hair ideals! Long months of diligent work on developing the sound gave the notable result, as the progress in developing the compositions and adding depth to sound textures can be easily heard. A true immersion into the tides of sound, would be good for both post-rock and ambient lovers, as the music here is based only on electronic sounds, yet keeping the post-rock structures. Recommended, if you like bands like Hammock, Arms and Sleepers, The Best Pessimist.

So I'm An Islander - The Old Theatre and Its Forgotten Songs

So I'm An Islander - The Old Theatre and Its Forgotten Songs


Genre: Ambient/Instrumental/Modern Classical
Format: mp3 | 192 kbps
Country: Denmark
Size: 23 Mb

Tracklist:
01. When The Young Fox Goes Hunting
02. The Memories of...
03.Mist and Sunday Rain
04. The Journey of a Leaf
05. A Lark On A Rose
06. The Ballet Dancer And Her Last Performance
07. Symphony Of Raindrops
08. Just For A Cold, Short Minute 

Description: So I'an Islander is a solo-project of Søren Nissen Jørgensen from Denmark. Founded back in May of 2011, the project has been quite productive, yet very underrated. The discography of So I'm An Islander consists of several digital EPs and albums, and The Old Theatre and Its Forgotten Songs has been the most listened among them (according to the last.fm website). The tracklist of an album may vary, if you see it on the different websites, but it doesn't change the fact, that you meet very calm and peaceful pieces of instrumental piano music with occasional involvement of strings and other instruments here. The atmosphere in So I’m An Islander’s music can be defined as old, mysterious and warm and definitely very evocative. Highly recommended. You may also find other albums of this project and some additional information, using links below:
