Endless Melancholy - Wherever

Endless Melancholy - Wherever

Genre: Modern Classical
Country: Ukraine
Label: Hidden Vibes

Tracklist:
01. Wherever
02. Somewhere

Description:  This is the first single from an upcoming Endless Melancholy - "Fragile" album, which is supposed to be released until the end of 2014. "Wherever" and "Somewhere" will be an opener and a closer of an album respectively. 

PLEASE, NOTE: This is actually a fundraising activity. By purchasing this single you're helping me to fund one of my all-time dreams - having Endless Melancholy released on vinyl. The album is actually already recorded, but its release date depends on how fast I'll be able to collect the amount of money needed to make it happen. The faster I have the necessary amount, or at least a big part of it - the sooner I'll be able to order the production. 

Every donation is a small step toward the goal and is highly appreciated. 

Everyone, who donates 25$ and more will receive some pleasant benefits: 

1) His name listed in "Special thanks" section to an album, both on digital release page and on a physical package; 

2) Free digital download of a full Endless Melancholy - "Fragile" album two weeks before the actual release date; 

3) A LP sent to his address once everything is done with no additional expenses. 

Thank you all!

"Reminder" and "Epilogue" Physical Reissue

A Veil of Water - Reminder

Genre: Piano/Modern Classical/Post-Rock
Format: mp3 | CBR320kbps
Country: Norway
Size: 135 Mb
Label: Hidden Vibes

Tracklist:

01. Estrela 

02. Nostalgia 

03. Echoes

04. A Promise Of Hope 

05. Remember 

06. Aeons 

07. Stepping Stones 

08. Innocence Kept Still 

09. Retrouvailles 

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.

Description: This self-titled album is the fifth release by Danish recording artist So I'm An Islander. The island of weird, beautiful and magical atmospheres is again explored through a melting put of genres spanning from the neoclassical to the alternative/experimental. Inspired by the Southern Jutlandic culture, this album exposes the listener to a variety of small bits of histories and momements told through instrumental tracks. Three different visual artists from three different places on the planet were asked to contribute with some artwork to this album, and they had no limits nor guidance whatsoever; just the music as inspiration. The front and back cover (plus bonus artwork #1) are the works of Danish artist Liv Kira Seitzberg.

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…
