Equal Stones - "Transgression"

Equal Stones - "Transgression"



Genre: Ambient/Drone
Format: mp3 | CBR320kbps
Country: The Netherlands
Size: 98 Mb
Label: Hidden Vibes

Tracklist:
01. Set Free
02. We All Fall
03. Reject All You Have Learned
04. Death At Both Ends

Description: "Transgression" is a third release on Hidden Vibes by Amandus Schaap, an ambient producer from the Netherlands also active on the Myosotis project.

When Amandus put together the setlist to this release he had a lot of tracks already finished, laying about. He decided to go with a drone theme this time around. The tracks on Transgression are mainly built up from multilayered synths accompinied with a lot of microsounds, statics, vinyl sampling, scrapes and minimal guitar textures, alot of these slightly hidden in the high register. There are some vocal patterns holding the melody in place, but most of the experience is built upon textures.

The idea for the title of the third track, Reject All You Have Learned, comes from a quote of one of musician's favorite philisophers Emil M. Cioran. "Chaos is rejecting all you have learned, chaos is being yourself." This track is a lenghty experiment in which Amandus tries to give form to the chaos he experiences in life.


This album really shines when you take off your headphones and listen to the tracks on a well equipped stereo setup.

The vinyl version of "Transgression" comes on virgin 180 grams vinyl, and comes in a gatefold sleeve with beautiful artwork designed and produced by Tessel Dekker.

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.

"Too Little Too Late" is a second full-length album of Myosotis. It's a light ambient release where a few older tracks are combined with recent works, creating various dimensions between ideas and soundscapes.

Format: FLAC
Country: The Netherlands
Size: 149 Mb
Label: Hidden Vibes

Tracklist:
01. Leave It Alone
02. Behind the Cellar Wall

03. Drawing Circles
04. They Never Speak Of The Ones That Fly
05. Dissolute Stare
06. Nothing But Regrets

Description: Equal Stones is a solo expression by Amandus, an ambient producer from the Netherlands also active on the Myosotis project. He felt the need to express himself without any boundary of thought, which ultimately left him with a handful of unsettling tracks which were quite experimental and emotionally unstable. 

From this first release by Equal Stones you can expect a diverse palette of moods. Ranging from warmth, loss, disobedience and darker edges. 

On this record musician has layered quite a bit of guitars, two tracks are almost solely layered processed guitars, and for instance on Drawing Circles there are processed distortion guitars pounding rhythmic phrases.
