New #review: "#LorenzoMontanà composed and played all parts of every piece himself, as he has done before on some of his #ProjektRecords releases. Velan is a Sanskrit descriptive for the god of illumination and knowledge, of revelation and transformation, which we have here in abundance." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #AmbientMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/lorenzo-montana-velan-3.html
New #review today: "Regardless of the instrument #ErikWøllo leads with—piano, keyboard sequences, effected guitar, or other mysterious sounds — one can hear how the stillness and solitude of winter has informed his emotional approach to compositions and arrangements, never to dazzle the listener with chops or a wow factor, but to convey a feeling or spark an idea that blossoms across the duration of the piece." #ExposeOnline #ProjektRecords #ElectronicMusic #AmbientMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/erik-wollo-snow-tides-3.html
New #review today: "Composer #SeanWilliams (a.k.a. #TheAdelaidean) is also a writer and a poet, and he drew on the foundation of the haiku, something that is short enough to read in a single breath, hence the nine breaths. Each of the nine pieces has a haiku related to it that contains the piece’s title." #ExposeOnline #ProjektRecords #AmbientMusic #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-adelaidean-nine-breaths-3.html
New #review today: "Sentient: Endowed with feeling and unstructured consciousness. That’s a good start for describing this latest release by #SteveRoach — a little bit of a lot of things: sequenced electronics, sweeping melodic beauty, panoramic brilliance, dreamy ambience, and curious sonic scintillations and sparkle." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #ProjektRecords #AmbientMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/steve-roach-sentient-being-3.html
New #review today: "Positively uplifting, melodic, and beautiful; this time out Italian sonic sculptor #MarcoBilli (AKA #Jarguna) has enlisted the help of Swedish cellist / violist #HenrikMeierkord and French flutist / vocalist #OdileBruckert for this majestic exercise in the creation of wondrous musical soundworlds that are at once inspirational and filled with emotion." #ExposeOnline #ProjektRecords #AmbientMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/jarguna-odile-bruckert-henrik-meierkord-furrows-of-memory-3.html

My #DeanGuitars #banjo #guitar arrived! It's got that Gran Sport / SG shape that #Gibson decided decades later they didn't like Armadillo using.

I haven't played it for long but, acousticly those plain strings (post removing tape) sound really cool; #ethereal. I was originally planning tuning it BEAD--what's those higher strings? 😆 Now, I'm rethinking actually tuning it 1 string higher instead of lower.

Eventually I do want to replace the drum head with a real skin. Keep it au natural & traditional, ya know?

There's a Southern #Gothic playlist floating around. Between that & the bands on #ProjektRecords. That's my inspiration. Let's see where things go!

New #review today: "These are a couple of releases that #DirkSerries released on other labels (meaning other than #ProjektRecords the label that has released most of the titles we have reviewed), though they are no less worthy, covering a wide range of styles; no songs, no singing, no jazz or rock in evidence, these are both extended sound sculptures of the highest order." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #AmbientMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/dirk-serries-zonal-disturbances-ii-3.html

25 Years On — Aarktica’s Debut “No Solace in Sleep” Drifts Like a Glacial and Cathartic Dream

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://post-punk.com/25-years-on-aarkticas-debut-no-solace-in-sleep-drifts-like-a-glacial-and-cathartic-dream/

New #review today: "As before, on the album’s ten tracks #PaulinaFae sings and plays all the instrumentation (piano, organ, synthesizers, acoustic guitar, atmospherics) though this time out the soulful whispered voices and dreamy atmospheres are certainly more introspective, perhaps aligning better with #dreampop or #darkwave..." #ExposeOnline #ProjektRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/paulina-fae-ghostbirds-3.html
