Time flies. A year has passed since my last post. I've been busy making a lot of ambient music, publishing stuff on Bandcamp and SoundCloud, and generally not relying on word of mouth to get stuff out there, because the audience is there always.
Something that made me want to check up on blog reading again was the new album by James Murray on Krysalisound - "Embrace Storms". It's a gallant little swivel through the debris of hum and peace that passes one ide into the next, and another idea into the very ideology of continuum theory.
Other labels that continue to send me stuff have expanded mightily: Silent Season has more limited editions; Sound In Silence is putting out some of the most angelic ambient out there; Eilean is steadfast as is Home Normal, Rural Colours and Whitelab Recs, and Krysalisound and of course Denovali have plateaued in their strength as constabularies of electro acoustic music.
A common theme is representing nearby scenic labels in a scenic way. Much like Ambient blogs and magazine websites, artist newsletters feature more mentions of other artists than ever before - a good thing that does not dilute the message, it just makes the original message more powerful.
