Ishtar - Ombre

Ishtar - Ombre

Genre: Neofolk/Ambient/Acoustic

Format: mp3 | CBR320kbps 

Country: Italy

Size: 51 Mb

Tracklist: 

01. Le vele dormienti, mi volgo alle nebbie 

02. Ho preso il cammino del fuoco e bruciavo nel cuore

03. Una voce chiamava il mio nome stanotte 

04. Da vicino, così vicino 

05. Foglie d'oro piovevano sui nuovi dei 

Description: been missing some neofolk on the blog? Today I present you a beautiful one-man project from Italy, Ishtar. Playing keyboards in Adveniat Hiems and LustNotes, Ishtar has been part of the Italian musical scene for more than a decade. This project presents instrumental tracks laying somewhere between the neofolk and neoclassical genres. Music themes are focused on memories, myths and visions, enriched with a touch of melancholy and a strongly personal interpretation. Although the style has its roots in Northern Europe and is heavily influenced by the sounds of bands such as Ulver (in Kveldssanger) and Empyrium, the Italian nature of the project dominates the style, making it unique, unusual and deeply rooted. Highly recommended.

10. Isaac's Dream of Tired Streets

Description: couldn't help posting this album, because it is so very special! Emphemetry is Richard ‘Biff’ Birkin, born in Derby in 1982. This album is a carefully arranged blend of genres, impossible to be described in one word. You can hear ambient passages, piano instrumentals, calm acoustic singer-songwriter material. The new album from Emphemetry features ambient swells of guitars, intimate folk songs, a string quartet, strange sounds, tape delay, reverse loops, pianos, and a haunted acappella quintet. 
"Variations of Ambience" could be another title to this great record. Another intriguing fact is that this album was mixed (plus additional production) by Nils Frahm at Durton Studio, Berlin. Are you still thinking?

Worrytrain - sparrow happenings (cassette rip)

Worrytrain - sparrow happenings (cassette rip)

Genre: Ambient/Acoustic/Minimalism

Format: mp3 | CBR128kbps

Country: USA

Size: 24 Mb

Tracklist:

01. having it and losing it on a sinking ship

02. looking and finding it on many shores

03. holding it and loving it as the world passes by 

04. setting it free on private property 

05. remember it in a pissy alleyway at the end of it all 

Description: all of you guys possibly have already heard about Worrytrain, one-man project that is pretty much popular among neoclassics and ambient lovers. The fact is that posted album (or EP, whatever) is way lesser listened, because it represents the very early period of Worrytrains music, where he haven't developed his sound from experimental acoustic ambient to the blend of modern classics and noise. That is definitely the reason to consider Sparrow Happenings a hidden gem. It's amazing how he creates the special relaxing mood on this record using that necessary minimalistic sound of his instruments and combining it with field recordings. Sometimes monotonously hypnotic, sometimes hopefully bright. A sound that can be found on thousands of records and at the same time cannot be found anywhere else. Recommended.

Description: Black Eagle Child is a one-man project of Michael Jantz from Milwaukee, WI. Started with experiments in drone, ambient, field recordings he changed his direction to acoustic music. Poland is a collection of tunes, played using the acoustic guitar and enriched by a variety of other instruments' sounds. Quoting the website, Poland is acoustic guitar, with touches of accordion, glockenspiel, manipulated voice, piano flute, and scant field-recordings, for a collection of more intimate pieces written and partly improvised over the course of 2009. Sounds completely relaxing and easy for listening. Totally worthy to at least give it a listen. You can find Black Eagle Child music and download it for free/listen it for free using links below:

mobdividual - Sounds One Hears Is Music

mobdividual - Sounds One Hears Is Music

Genre: Acoustic/Drone/Post-Rock

Format: mp3 | CBR320kbps

Country: USA

Size: 64 Mb

Tracklist:

01. "Life is the leaves which shape and nourish a plant,

02. but art is the flower which embodies its meaning."

03. - Charles Rennie Mackintosh

04. ...sounds one hears is music...

Description: and the very new EP from Brian Elyo also known as mobdividual is out now. Being pretty much a continuation of 'The Windows to () Music Were Open' it brings lots of fresh moments. Having kept the hypnotizing acoustic ambience, due to the use drums it sounds closer to post-rock music. Starting listening to the record you get a perfect introduction from first two tracks, which fully show the atmosphere of the whole record. The third track - Charles Rennie Mackintosh - is being a great and almost epic culmination of the record, while the last one sounds pretty different from others and paints the ending line of the EP.

…kind of like a roller coaster design where i’ve tried to dictate a certain experience but also allow for the individual to take away their own experience… to do that i have to make sure certain ideas aren’t too low or too narrow or your head wont hit the side… ‘you must be so tall to ride’ type-idea… just trying to make sure you can relax and enjoy the ride; hopefully you’ll be free enough to look around, get distracted (this isn’t school, music isn’t life, you don’t have to pay attention…); think about something else, have your own experience…
