in a landscape – Doriene Marselje

You can listen preview of this album on this page, buy it on our shop or go to our Bandcamp page. You can also visit Doriene Marselje website. in a landscape “French “impressionism” has left us with a rather limited vision of the harp, as if its most characteristic feature were that it could only be played by half-naked girls with long, blond hair, who confine themselves to drawing seductive glissandi from it. But the harp has another harder, louder and aggressive side to it. Sequenza II aims to bring out some of these characteristics, and to make them appear simultaneously: at certain moments it must sound like a forest with the wind blowing through it.” -...

Sonner-résonner – Gilles Fresnais

You can listen preview of this new piece on this page, or buy it on our shop or go to our Bandcamp album page. Sonner - résonner Sonner-résonner was composed using different materials—a metal plate and a crystal glass, both filled with varying levels of water—that were struck, rubbed, and allowed to resonate. A microphone was placed up against the plate and the glass, and the sounds it captured opened up a whole palette of colours that could be brought to life with digital processing. This piece was inspired by the potential similarity of the sounds from two very different materials, as well as the melodic variation created by changing the water levels in each container. Gilles...

black mind – Thu Bird

You can listen preview of this album on this page, on Bandcamp or buy it on our shop. black mind The album inspiration was fictionalized as the depiction of the dark thoughts lost in the mind on the sound. Throughout the pieces, the disturbing silence of the emotions that you want to escape is broken. A way of speaking about a ghost wandering in a crowded city. For a ghost, the crowded city is only empty streets. Not seen, not heard, not felt. The sounds it hears begin to inspire it. The moment it begins to speak, language turns into sounds, not words. In this album, we listen to what the ghost wants to...

These sounds truly reveal the incredible diversity of the inhabitants of the deep.
