Cosmic Lullabies is the sixth album from the Finnish ambient producer Doc and the Russian pianist Lena Selyanina, cosmic and meditative in its style and spirit.

The opening track Bell Meditation is a pure meditation song based on huge bell sounds that resonate and vibrate for extended periods of time. Gradually rising ethereal echoes from sacred eastern choral tradition mix with the bells to form a calm and majestic cosmic setting, perfect for deep relaxation and meditation.

The starting point for Neptune was Lena’s beautiful impressionistic piano improvisation moving in G# Minor, “the bluest of musical modes”, as Lena puts it. The piano then gets surrounded by a mysterious and meditative ambient soundworld. The entire 17 minute song can be interpreted as a long, symbolic probe-like dive through the blue, dreamlike gas layers of Neptune to ever deeper and darker realms, all the way down to the solid rock and metal core of the planet, and from there back to the starlight.

The final track Andromeda is an ambient voyage into the majestic sphere of our neighbour galaxy.

ElectronicaManila is a collective of active musicians and producers of Philippine descent, who were brought together by a mailing list of the same name in 2001, and have since gone on to produce shows, albums, projects and this compilation.

BASICS is a project that spawned from the idea: come up with one song using only the general MIDI set of instruments, and pool together the results for a compilation. What you have here is a collection of idiosyncratic grooves ranging from techno to ambient that capture the disctinct flavor of ElectronicaManila.

Eight MP3s at 256-320 kbps.44.1kHz stereo..
Total Running Time: 32:53.

Frieze comes from Irish musician Barry Murphy recording under his The Last Sound moniker. Active for years, he’s known from a bunch of his net-releases as well as CD’s on Front End Synthetics or Go Away Records.

The album presented here consists of tracks obviously influenced by music as various as ambient, contemporary electronics to krautrock even. Seven pieces create their own unpredictable atmosphere and seem to go in many unexpected directions - yet, the whole thing is very consistent and makes much more sense when listened as a whole rather than specific tracks.

Abstract electronics, one could say, but there’s much more to this album than such a description. Unmelodic melodies which stay in your head for hours, weird electronics, surreal synths and deconstructed rhythms put this recording in line with the most interesting stuff we’ve ever released.

No choice - you need to try it yourself. Enjoy!

Frances describes his tune like “a portrait from my past, a small number of flashback frames as a regression. I usually feel like a child, perceiving and wanting to express and be heard like him. All we were is also what we are now too.”
His track contains an elementary base, with a great synth in the middle. The final product is unforgettable.

The second track of the EP is the Kebiin remix. This version of “El nino” keeps de original essence of the track adding melodic and funky elements to it, such as a powerfull bassline, glitch percussion, colourful pads and fx’s.
The basic structure it’s very similar to Frances Lerouge’s original idea but oriented to the club dancefloor. The bass joins the percussion to keep you dancing while the pads raise and suddenly all elements stops to let you feel the original melody.

The James McConaghew´s track is diferent concept from the original. James has made a trance-minimal version with epic strings and an uplifting progression. The song starts with a soft intro that contains the original melody synth. Then become the rithm, and the melody raise again. It´s the perfect tune if you want to do a brake at the end of your set.

wow! feel free to discover Frances Lerouge musical universe..

enjoy :P

There was a time when, shyly, a word travelled the late ’70s innovative sound paths.
That word were ambient.
While following the âdaydreamâ, we can perfectly see that âevening starâ wich enlight the way for us, shadow and silence travellers.
The new Halo XVI work is this: ambient music in its purest form, a receptacle where to lay down, during the whole 5 tracks, our loads of imaginative dreams.
Gianpaolo Diacci aka Halo xvi, artist coming from far away, owns as a music passion the stringed instruments: giutars, basses or Chapman Stick, which he magically plays hopping like an elf. Especially live with the band RAN, whose is the proud bass player.
A tipical musical education, a past marked by new wave sounds, which dissapears inside Daydreaming given the extreme precision in describing a landscape wholly inhabited by electronic particles: lonely trasmitters of an ambient message oneiric programmed.
A Different Afternoonâspreads itself on harmonies softly contaminated by feeble and wonderful cosmic streams.
Lost Evenings is a sweet ritual hidden behind an enchanted vocal loop.
Night Moves it’s a perfect balance in the electronic void, just a hint of ambient- gothic sound, wrapped in spirals full of space vibes.
Stone Gardenâ it’s the peace that reings in our most intimate zen gardens.
White Sea closes the e.p with a solemn walk in the silent intangible world by Halo xvi: our hopping electronic elf who sometimes stops to describe with sounds his day dreaming.
