An ethereal musical landscape painted with emotions on a windblown gossamer landscape. The subject of today’s review is the album Revolving Maze by the two man musical project Involved.\r\n\r\nFormed in late 2012, Involved is an international effort between Joe Dorsey from Tennessee, USA, and Reivilo Enoignor from Pyongyang, Korea. Dorsey does keyboard duties for Ocean Architecture, a progressive metal outfit out of Tennessee whose debut album made a serious splash (and a hell of an impression on this reviewer) in 2012. He also plays guitar and keyboards for Until Sunrise, a prog/post rock band out of Frederick, Maryland. Enoignor plays keyboards for Battlestations, an experimental/post rock band based in Brussels, Belgium. For involved, the two gentlemen bring all their talents in keyboards and musical production to the table to create something that is truly unique.\r\n\r\nNow I feel the effect of the music here is the most important side of it. There is no story to follow, nor any mission to be fulfilled, but only an atmosphere being created. In the first minute or so, I was trying to wrap my head around what was going on, but as they ever so subtly layered the sounds upon each other, they dragged me unsuspectingly into the music. Soon I was in its embrace, akin to being in a warm bed on a very cold morning. Awake, but so lost in the warmth that the rest of the world didn’t really exist. Using a central keyboard theme to each of the eleven tracks as a base, the two musicians work their magic in myriad magical ways to give a soul to the simple beat that each piece is constructed around. Each song is like a segment of life, with a birth, a development and rise, a phase of maturity and strength, and a slow fading into the ether. Through the multitude of keyboard and electronic instruments, some traditional instruments, and some added atmospheric vocals, Dorsey and Enoignor skillfully layer together eleven unique landscapes to get lost in.\r\n\r\nThe range of music isn’t limited to soft though, some of the songs build in a rather industrial fashion, not to a point of brashness or anything like that, but they have a pointed intensity to them. Patient is one such track, bringing to mind the actual process of being patient. The inner turmoil of waiting for whatever event to happen, the rambling thoughts and wandering emotions that go along with the wait, the whole vibe and feel of being patient, is transcribed musically, and brilliantly so. Inner Spaces seems to jounce playfully around until settling into a groove of beauty, only to jounce out again. Tumult has a repressed quality about it, being smooth on the surface with a sensed furor underneath that never seems to come out. Each of the songs plays out like this, but I’m sure the experience will be different for each individual. Like a song with loosely written lyrics, Involved leaves it up to the listener to decide where they want the music to take them. Living up to their name, they make the listener involved, in an ever so intimate fashion.\r\n\r\nThrough solid musicianship, on both the parts of Dorsey and Enoignor, Involved has breached new ground. Their skilled playing and production paired with an immensely imaginative vision translated into fifty minutes of music that seems designed to find that beautiful put into each of us.\"\r\n\r\n- <a title=\"Lady Obscure\" href=\"http://www.ladyobscure.com/albums/involved-revolving-maze/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Lady Obscure</strong></a>','Involved \"Revolving Maze\" Reviewed at Lady Obscure','','inherit','closed','closed','','10379-revision-v1','','','2014-08-18 05:03:30','2014-08-18 05:03:30','',10379,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/10379-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10381,1,'2014-08-18 06:45:32','2014-08-18 06:45:32','The beautiful lead single from <a title=\"Involved\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/involved/\">Involved</a>\'s forthcoming debut album <em>Revolving Maze</em> is upon us!

The EP features the production and instrumental talents of Jason Lytle of Grandaddy fame, along with the inimitable production and additional instrumentation of Robert Pollard co-conspirator Todd Tobias.\r\n\r\n<em>The Wooden Heart</em> mines a wonderfully rich seam of atmospheric yet epic songcraft that Kramies has made his own. From the throbbing ambient introduction of ‘The Beginning’ through to the delicate folk of ‘The Ending’, Kramies’ new EP covers vast emotional and musical terrain during its 23-minute run-time. The title track’s windswept grandeur is married to an emotional directness that demands your attention and doesn’t let go, ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ sways and swoons with an almost unbearable poignancy, and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’ both alludes to and embodies this music’s timeless appeal.\r\n\r\nIn addition to Todd Tobias’s production (on ‘The Beginning’, ‘The Wooden Heart’, ‘Upon The Northern Isles’ and ‘The Ending’), <em>The Wooden Heart</em> EP also features the production and instrumental talents of Jason Lytle of Grandaddy fame (on ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’).

The EP fades into view with ‘Intro’, a simple cyclical pattern of guitar, piano and vocals gradually subsumed by drones and distortion. This leads into the majestic, glacial sway of the title track, guaranteed to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Then, ‘Inventors’ is the album’s dark, shadowy heart, a ballad of subtle intensity.\r\n\r\nSingle ‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ is an emotionally resonant vortex of swooning pop built around an absolutely heartbreaking chord progression on synthesizer, carried skyward as layers and layers of instruments build and build. And the closing ‘Antiquarian Days’ is a fitting fade towards a sepia horizon, burbling loops and chiming guitars accompanying Kramies’ gentle lament.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nDutch-American singer-songwriter Kramies Windt began writing songs at the age of 14 after buying his first synth, acoustic guitar and four-track cassette recorder at an estate sale in his home town of Cleveland, Ohio. Even though he was never really exposed to any music other than old Dutch Christmas records his family had lying around when he was a kid, their haunting sound would shape the direction of his future songwriting.\r\n\r\nKramies started forming and playing in bands around the age of 16, and by the age of 19, the bands he formed became based around the songs he was writing. The bands took on many forms, playing the underground music scene from Ohio to Chicago. Come the late ’90s, Kramies developed his own sound, based around old-world imagery of cobblestone streets, old trains and castles, and romantic, poetic moments. Kramies and his band went on to open for Spiritualized, Grandaddy, Yo La Tengo, Calexico, Stereolab, Dirty Three and Red House Painters.\r\n\r\nCome 2004, Kramies decided to focus on writing and recording in the studio, and began working with producer and engineer Todd Tobias (Guided By Voices, Robert Pollard) and guitarist David Paolucci. Working with Todd and David, Kramies released two albums to critical acclaim: Golden Like A New Thing (ACM, 2008) and Castle of Ghosts (ACM, 2010).\r\n\r\nIn 2010 Kramies began writing the songs for his first Hidden Shoal release, The European EP, in his coat closet in Colorado. The songs were demoed on four-track, painting a vivid sonic picture of the direction the release would take, drawing on the haunting old-world imagery he loved so much as a kid. The demos were sent to David Paolucci to start working on guitar parts in Ohio. Kramies then toured Ireland, playing really old pubs and small concert halls, which brought new ideas and layers to the songs. The European EP was recorded in June and July 2011 with Todd Tobias, with prominent, swirling guitar work from Dave Paolucci.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=kramies-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a title=\"More Kramies News\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/news/kramies-news/\">More News</a></strong></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=kramies-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Kramies Reviews\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/reviews/kramies-reviews/\"><strong>More Reviews</strong></a></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/Press_Release-Kramies-The_Folklore_Sessions_EP.pdf\">Kramies <em>The Folklore Sessions</em> EP Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_Wooden_Heart_EP.pdf\">Kramies <em>The Wooden Heart</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_Wooden_Heart%28Single%29.pdf\">Kramies ‘The Wooden Heart’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_European.pdf\">Kramies – <em>The European</em> EP Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-Coal_Miners_Executive_Club.pdf\">Kramies – ‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[gallery ids=\"9000,8999,9001\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/uM1_Ov-ont0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/-l4F8vCH8MM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/vOHV7ZWshkM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/TdmV4aOSmxE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/C5865MiACPA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/KxAnc3dj3b0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\nKramies\' music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

With just his voice and acoustic guitar, plus languid piano backing by Grant Wilson (of Ghost Hunters TV show fame), these stripped-back versions of <em>The European</em>’s ‘Antiquarian Days’, <em>The Wooden Heart</em>’s title track and ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ are given vivid new life through Kramies’ genuinely affecting performances.</p><div> </div><div> </div><h4>The Wooden Heart</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 340px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2389044161/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://kramies.bandcamp.com/album/the-wooden-heart\">The Wooden Heart by Kramies</a></iframe><br /> October 2013</p><div> </div><p><em>The Wooden Heart</em> is the luscious and expansive new EP from Colorado-based dream-pop artist Kramies. The EP features the production and instrumental talents of Jason Lytle of Grandaddy fame, along with the inimitable production and additional instrumentation of Robert Pollard co-conspirator Todd Tobias.</p><p><em>The Wooden Heart</em> mines a wonderfully rich seam of atmospheric yet epic songcraft that Kramies has made his own. From the throbbing ambient introduction of ‘The Beginning’ through to the delicate folk of ‘The Ending’, Kramies’ new EP covers vast emotional and musical terrain during its 23-minute run-time. The title track’s windswept grandeur is married to an emotional directness that demands your attention and doesn’t let go, ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ sways and swoons with an almost unbearable poignancy, and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’ both alludes to and embodies this music’s timeless appeal.</p><p>In addition to Todd Tobias’s production (on ‘The Beginning’, ‘The Wooden Heart’, ‘Upon The Northern Isles’ and ‘The Ending’), <em>The Wooden Heart</em> EP also features the production and instrumental talents of Jason Lytle of Grandaddy fame (on ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’). Rounded out by the beautiful artwork of French photographer Jérôme Sevrette, The Wooden Heart EP is a lovingly constructed work of art.</p><div> </div><div> </div><h4>The European</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 307px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2414891436/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://kramies.bandcamp.com/album/the-european\">The European by Kramies</a></iframe><br /> November 2011</p><div> </div><p>Produced by Todd Tobias (Guided By Voices, Robert Pollard, Circus Devils), <em>The European</em> sets Kramies’ gorgeous voice and acoustic guitar within a glowing tableau, epic in scope yet delicate in detail. The EP fades into view with ‘Intro’, a simple cyclical pattern of guitar, piano and vocals gradually subsumed by drones and distortion. This leads into the majestic, glacial sway of the title track, guaranteed to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Then, ‘Inventors’ is the album’s dark, shadowy heart, a ballad of subtle intensity.</p><p>Single ‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ is an emotionally resonant vortex of swooning pop built around an absolutely heartbreaking chord progression on synthesizer, carried skyward as layers and layers of instruments build and build. And the closing ‘Antiquarian Days’ is a fitting fade towards a sepia horizon, burbling loops and chiming guitars accompanying Kramies’ gentle lament.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<h3>Biography</h3><p>Dutch-American singer-songwriter Kramies Windt began writing songs at the age of 14 after buying his first synth, acoustic guitar and four-track cassette recorder at an estate sale in his home town of Cleveland, Ohio. Even though he was never really exposed to any music other than old Dutch Christmas records his family had lying around when he was a kid, their haunting sound would shape the direction of his future songwriting.</p><p>Kramies started forming and playing in bands around the age of 16, and by the age of 19, the bands he formed became based around the songs he was writing. The bands took on many forms, playing the underground music scene from Ohio to Chicago. Come the late ’90s, Kramies developed his own sound, based around old-world imagery of cobblestone streets, old trains and castles, and romantic, poetic moments. Kramies and his band went on to open for Spiritualized, Grandaddy, Yo La Tengo, Calexico, Stereolab, Dirty Three and Red House Painters.</p><p>Come 2004, Kramies decided to focus on writing and recording in the studio, and began working with producer and engineer Todd Tobias (Guided By Voices, Robert Pollard) and guitarist David Paolucci. Working with Todd and David, Kramies released two albums to critical acclaim: Golden Like A New Thing (ACM, 2008) and Castle of Ghosts (ACM, 2010).</p><p>In 2010 Kramies began writing the songs for his first Hidden Shoal release, The European EP, in his coat closet in Colorado. The songs were demoed on four-track, painting a vivid sonic picture of the direction the release would take, drawing on the haunting old-world imagery he loved so much as a kid. The demos were sent to David Paolucci to start working on guitar parts in Ohio. Kramies then toured Ireland, playing really old pubs and small concert halls, which brought new ideas and layers to the songs. The European EP was recorded in June and July 2011 with Todd Tobias, with prominent, swirling guitar work from Dave Paolucci.</p><p> </p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<h3>News</h3>[catlist name=kramies-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a title=\"More Kramies News\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/news/kramies-news/\">More News</a></strong></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Reviews</h2>[catlist name=kramies-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Kramies Reviews\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/reviews/kramies-reviews/\"><strong>More Reviews</strong></a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/Press_Release-Kramies-The_Folklore_Sessions_EP.pdf\">Kramies <em>The Folklore Sessions</em> EP Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_Wooden_Heart_EP.pdf\">Kramies <em>The Wooden Heart</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_Wooden_Heart%28Single%29.pdf\">Kramies ‘The Wooden Heart’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-The_European.pdf\">Kramies – <em>The European</em> EP Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Kramies-Coal_Miners_Executive_Club.pdf\">Kramies – ‘Coal Miners Executive Club’ Single Release</a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"9000,8999,9001\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/uM1_Ov-ont0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/-l4F8vCH8MM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/vOHV7ZWshkM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/TdmV4aOSmxE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/C5865MiACPA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/KxAnc3dj3b0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Kramies\' music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The sea may be calm, but there are currents, strange flow patterns, undercurrents, a whirlpool, little swirls, a maelstrom and such to trick you and drag you in deep. However, that said, relax, chill, you will be all safe and sound. The ambient musical patterns of Slow Dancing Society will caress you and pet you mildly and gently. And, after a while you will float safely to the surface again.\r\n\r\nDrew Sullivan\'s Slow Dancing Society (SDS) is the soundtrack to some deep sea drilling in slow motion. Imagine that as you dive into SDS\'s 1980s playpool. This is expressive ambient minimalism, where warm sounds surround you at once. You feel welcome from the second you enter Sullivan\'s world. The album is like a travel through a day in the life of Slow Dancing Society - maybe even a day submerged in <i>The Cogent Sea</i>...?), from the opening \"Come The Morning Light\", through the closing <i>Suspension</i>. Twelve tracks all together. In less than 50 minutes, but of course: it can be put on repeat. Again and again. It is highly recommended. For mind and body. For a total chill-out and relaxation, to find some spiritual meditative position just to float away on the musical waves. Sullivan\'s gentle grips and neat web of tones and sounds dance slowly around you. Comfortable guitar chords and pleasant synth figures create patterns, blankets and mazes that will surround you. Here are slow drones and slowly building walls of sound, and everything\'s oh, so slow, and at perfect speed. \"O Captain! My Captain!\", Captain Sullivan steers the submarine deeper and deeper, and we can hear, feel and sense the sound of silence from the outside. Nothing. Maybe with the exception of tiny beeps from the sonar. Echo beeps. The vessel (of the Sullivan-class?) glides through the sea, at half speed, propellers turned off, and everything feels so brilliantly splendid. It is a pleasure ride for sure. Come on. Check in. Enjoy.\r\n\r\nWe missed out SDS\'s fifth album, <i>Laterna Magica</i> (2012) here at LK. Oh, sorry, we missed out his third album, <i>Priest Lake Circa \'88</i> (2008), as well; we only span through its single, <a href=\"http://www.lunakafe.com/moon145/uswa145.php\">A Warm Glow</a>. Besides that, we have been \'on-board\' his slowly revolving records since his debut, <a href=\"http://www.lunakafe.com/moon125/uswa125.php\">The Sound of Lights When Dim</a> (2006). It will not happen again. We will follow Sullivan\'s steps and check out SDS\'s path from now and forever. For now, we\'re through <i>The Cogent Sea</i>. Mission accomplished. We are ashore again. Happy, safe, and exhausted, but, ready for another adventure beyond the sea. Slow Dancing Society\'s music has got this warm inner glow that will recharge your bodily batteries if they are running a bit low.\"\r\n\r\n- <a title=\"Luna Kafe\" href=\"http://www.lunakafe.com/moon220/uswa220.php\" target=\"_blank\">Luna Kafe</a>','Slow Dancing Society \"The Cogent Sea\" Reviewed at Luna Kafe','','publish','closed','closed','','slow-dancing-society-the-cogent-sea-reviewed-at-luna-kafe','','','2014-08-21 14:10:41','2014-08-21 14:10:41','',0,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/?p=10400',0,'post','',0),(10401,1,'2014-08-21 14:10:41','2014-08-21 14:10:41','\"Drew Sullivan\'s project has been going on for some years now, but his Slow Dancing Society is not going any slower, or staller on his sixth album, <i>The Cogent Sea</i>.

Sullivan\'s gentle grips and neat web of tones and sounds dance slowly around you. Comfortable guitar chords and pleasant synth figures create patterns, blankets and mazes that will surround you. Here are slow drones and slowly building walls of sound, and everything\'s oh, so slow, and at perfect speed. \"O Captain! My Captain!\", Captain Sullivan steers the submarine deeper and deeper, and we can hear, feel and sense the sound of silence from the outside. Nothing. Maybe with the exception of tiny beeps from the sonar. Echo beeps. The vessel (of the Sullivan-class?) glides through the sea, at half speed, propellers turned off, and everything feels so brilliantly splendid. It is a pleasure ride for sure. Come on. Check in. Enjoy.\r\n\r\nWe missed out SDS\'s fifth album, <i>Laterna Magica</i> (2012) here at LK. Oh, sorry, we missed out his third album, <i>Priest Lake Circa \'88</i> (2008), as well; we only span through its single, <a href=\"http://www.lunakafe.com/moon145/uswa145.php\">A Warm Glow</a>. Besides that, we have been \'on-board\' his slowly revolving records since his debut, <a href=\"http://www.lunakafe.com/moon125/uswa125.php\">The Sound of Lights When Dim</a> (2006). It will not happen again. We will follow Sullivan\'s steps and check out SDS\'s path from now and forever. For now, we\'re through <i>The Cogent Sea</i>. Mission accomplished. We are ashore again. Happy, safe, and exhausted, but, ready for another adventure beyond the sea. Slow Dancing Society\'s music has got this warm inner glow that will recharge your bodily batteries if they are running a bit low.\"\r\n\r\n- <a title=\"Luna Kafe\" href=\"http://www.lunakafe.com/moon220/uswa220.php\" target=\"_blank\">Luna Kafe</a>','Slow Dancing Society \"The Cogent Sea\" Reviewed at Luna Kafe','','inherit','closed','closed','','10400-revision-v1','','','2014-08-21 14:10:41','2014-08-21 14:10:41','',10400,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/10400-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10402,1,'2014-08-21 14:16:28','2014-08-21 14:16:28','\"There’s a very pleasing psych feel to this track from GBV and Circus Devils alumnus <b>Todd Tobias</b>, in conjunction with <b>Steve Five</b> on vocals (from The Library is on Fire).\r\n\r\nWhat do I mean by psych?

The album is a cinematic feast within itself, uncompromising, redemptive and always engaging.

Todd has been Robert Pollard’s in-house record producer since 2002, beginning with Guided by Voices’ Matador release <em>Universal Truths and Cycles</em>. Todd has also produced many other indie-rock projects over the years, including the latest release from fellow Hidden Shoal Recordings artist Kramies (<em>The European</em> EP).</p><p>Todd has always been a musical experimentalist.

Following the debut album from Circus Devils in 2001, Todd began to use the band as a showpiece for his unorthodox musical adventures.

After nine albums with Circus Devils, and several dozen album productions with Robert Pollard and a variety of other artists, Todd finally birthed his first solo work for Hidden Shoal, <em>Medicine Show</em>.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<h3>News</h3>[catlist name=todd-tobias-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Todd Tobias News\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/news/todd-tobias-news/\"><strong>More News</strong></a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Reviews</h2>[catlist name=todd-tobias-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a title=\"Todd Tobias Reviews\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/reviews/todd-tobias-reviews/\">More Reviews</a></strong></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-I_Razor_Soundtrack.pdf\"> <em>I Razor</em> Soundtrack Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release_-_Circus_Devils-All_The_Good_Ones_Are_Gone.pdf\">Circus Devils – ‘All The Good Ones Are Gone’ single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Medicine_Show.pdf\">Todd Tobias – <em>Medicine Show</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Manatoc_Enters_The_City.pdf\">‘Manatoc Enters The City / The Long Fall’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Signing.pdf\">Todd Tobias Signs To Hidden Shoal</a></p><p> </p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"9266,9267,9268\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/qTYQfnb71hE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/5fuyIu4V26Y?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/AQbVKD3ACeA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/EXOYfO_ZoRM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/WIA2VpZJ8eo?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Todd Tobias\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The album is a cinematic feast within itself, uncompromising, redemptive and always engaging. It weaves lo-fi keyboards through shimmering guitar textures, scatters unsettling rhythms across ethereal synthscapes, and unveils kaleidoscopic new treasures among its 30+ tracks with each listen.\r\n\r\nTold from the perspective of a former scientist turned wandering telepathic man-child, <i>I Razor</i> is the story of one man’s quest to regain his lost humanity.  <i>I Razor</i> presents its world in hallucinatory visions, reflecting the state of mind of its main character.  The story is told with minimal dialog and an open plot structure, relying instead on visuals and music to carry it’s narratives.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Night Above Ground</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 439px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3025667975/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://toddtobiasmusic.bandcamp.com/album/night-above-ground-ep\">NIGHT ABOVE GROUND ep by Todd Tobias</a></iframe>\r\nNovember 2012\r\n<div></div>\r\nIn contrast to <em>Medicine Show</em>\'s serpentine construction and intense atmosphere, <em>Night Above Ground</em> is more airy, accessible and playful, bursting into vivid life with the crowd chatter and tumbling noisescapes of ‘Invocation’.

Todd has been Robert Pollard’s in-house record producer since 2002, beginning with Guided by Voices’ Matador release <em>Universal Truths and Cycles</em>. Todd has also produced many other indie-rock projects over the years, including the latest release from fellow Hidden Shoal Recordings artist Kramies (<em>The European</em> EP).\r\n\r\nTodd has always been a musical experimentalist. While playing in bands as a drummer or bassist, he continued work on his own with a cassette 4 track, creating soundscapes and his own brand of exotic rock. One of Todd’s basement tapes eventually caught the ear of Robert Pollard, who then asked Todd and brother Tim to form Circus Devils. Following the debut album from Circus Devils in 2001, Todd began to use the band as a showpiece for his unorthodox musical adventures.

The album is a cinematic feast within itself, uncompromising, redemptive and always engaging. It weaves lo-fi keyboards through shimmering guitar textures, scatters unsettling rhythms across ethereal synthscapes, and unveils kaleidoscopic new treasures among its 30+ tracks with each listen.\r\n\r\nTold from the perspective of a former scientist turned wandering telepathic man-child, <i>I Razor</i> is the story of one man’s quest to regain his lost humanity.  <i>I Razor</i> presents its world in hallucinatory visions, reflecting the state of mind of its main character.  The story is told with minimal dialog and an open plot structure, relying instead on visuals and music to carry it’s narratives.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Night Above Ground</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 439px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3025667975/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://toddtobiasmusic.bandcamp.com/album/night-above-ground-ep\">NIGHT ABOVE GROUND ep by Todd Tobias</a></iframe>\r\nNovember 2012\r\n<div></div>\r\nIn contrast to <em>Medicine Show</em>\'s serpentine construction and intense atmosphere, <em>Night Above Ground</em> is more airy, accessible and playful, bursting into vivid life with the crowd chatter and tumbling noisescapes of ‘Invocation’.

Todd has been Robert Pollard’s in-house record producer since 2002, beginning with Guided by Voices’ Matador release <em>Universal Truths and Cycles</em>. Todd has also produced many other indie-rock projects over the years, including the latest release from fellow Hidden Shoal Recordings artist Kramies (<em>The European</em> EP).\r\n\r\nTodd has always been a musical experimentalist. While playing in bands as a drummer or bassist, he continued work on his own with a cassette 4 track, creating soundscapes and his own brand of exotic rock. One of Todd’s basement tapes eventually caught the ear of Robert Pollard, who then asked Todd and brother Tim to form Circus Devils. Following the debut album from Circus Devils in 2001, Todd began to use the band as a showpiece for his unorthodox musical adventures. After nine albums with Circus Devils, and several dozen album productions with Robert Pollard and a variety of other artists, Todd finally birthed his first solo work for Hidden Shoal, <em>Medicine Show</em>.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=todd-tobias-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Todd Tobias News\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/news/todd-tobias-news/\"><strong>More News</strong></a></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=todd-tobias-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a title=\"Todd Tobias Reviews\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/reviews/todd-tobias-reviews/\">More Reviews</a></strong></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-I_Razor_Soundtrack.pdf\"> <em>I Razor</em> Soundtrack Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release_-_Circus_Devils-All_The_Good_Ones_Are_Gone.pdf\">Circus Devils – ‘All The Good Ones Are Gone’ single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Medicine_Show.pdf\">Todd Tobias – <em>Medicine Show</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Manatoc_Enters_The_City.pdf\">‘Manatoc Enters The City / The Long Fall’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Todd_Tobias_Signing.pdf\">Todd Tobias Signs To Hidden Shoal</a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[gallery ids=\"9266,9267,9268\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/qTYQfnb71hE?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/5fuyIu4V26Y?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/AQbVKD3ACeA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/EXOYfO_ZoRM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/WIA2VpZJ8eo?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\nTodd Tobias\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The <i>I Razor</i> soundtrack comprises challenging, playful, twisted, murky and downright beautiful pieces of music by Todd Tobias and Circus Devils, featuring vocals from Robert Pollard (Guided By Voices) as well as instrumental versions of some of the Devil’s existing songs. The album is a cinematic feast within itself, uncompromising, redemptive and always engaging. It weaves lo-fi keyboards through shimmering guitar textures, scatters unsettling rhythms across ethereal synthscapes, and unveils kaleidoscopic new treasures among its 30+ tracks with each listen. Told from the perspective of a former scientist turned wandering telepathic man-child, <i>I Razor</i> is the story of one man’s quest to regain his lost humanity.  <i>I Razor</i> presents its world in hallucinatory visions, reflecting the state of mind of its main character.  The story is told with minimal dialog and an open plot structure, relying instead on visuals and music to carry it’s narratives.</p><div> </div><div> </div><p> </p><h4>Night Above Ground</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 439px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3025667975/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://toddtobiasmusic.bandcamp.com/album/night-above-ground-ep\">NIGHT ABOVE GROUND ep by Todd Tobias</a></iframe> <br />November 2012</p><div> </div><p>In contrast to <em>Medicine Show</em>\'s serpentine construction and intense atmosphere, <em>Night Above Ground</em> is more airy, accessible and playful, bursting into vivid life with the crowd chatter and tumbling noisescapes of ‘Invocation’.

He grew up listening to bands like Black Sabbath and AC/DC, before turning his ears to darker sounds and the ethereal, experimental pop of David Sylvian. After recording and touring with several bands, he struck out on his own with home studio project Aroma.</p><p>Now working under his own name, Mehr wrote and recorded his debut album <em>Lava</em> at his home studio using guitars and synths, plus any noise-making accoutrements at hand – electric shavers, ventilators, electric tooth brushes and field recordings –all processed and distorted to create a gorgeous wall of sound, akin to the classic ’70s Kosmische music of Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream, but also the contemporary masters of textured luminosity, Fennesz and Tim Hecker. His follow up albums, <em>In</em>, <em>On</em> and <em>Off </em> pushed the sonic and structural envelope even further and created a triptych of works that stands amongst the most engaging contemporary experimental music of our days.</p><p>Mehr’s extensive live performances across Europe include collaborations with visual artist Stefanie Sixt and performances in churches, galleries and large disused gas tanks amongst the more traditional festival shows.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<p> </p><h3>News</h3>[catlist name=markus-mehr content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<br /> [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<p> </p><h2>Reviews</h2>[catlist name=markus-mehr-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<br /> [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Live_In_Bari.pdf\"><em>Live in Bari</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Off.pdf\"><em>Off</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Duck_Became_Swan.pdf\">‘Duck Became Swan’ Single Release and Music Video</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Flaming_Youth.pdf\">‘Flaming Youth’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-In.pdf\"><em>In</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Cousteau.pdf\">‘Cousteau’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Lava_Digital_Release.pdf\"><em>Lava</em> Album Digital Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Hubble_Single.pdf\">‘Hubble’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Signing.pdf\">Markus Mehr Signs to Hidden Shoal</a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"9020,9021,9022,9023,9024,9025,9019\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/dGRCY37hMm4?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/PcfMLHZZomw?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/1jIYi486n0c?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Markus Mehr\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

His follow up albums, <em>In</em>, <em>On</em> and <em>Off </em> pushed the sonic and structural envelope even further and created a triptych of works that stands amongst the most engaging contemporary experimental music of our days.\r\n\r\nMehr’s extensive live performances across Europe include collaborations with visual artist Stefanie Sixt and performances in churches, galleries and large disused gas tanks amongst the more traditional festival shows.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=markus-mehr content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=markus-mehr-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Live_In_Bari.pdf\"><em>Live in Bari</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Off.pdf\"><em>Off</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Duck_Became_Swan.pdf\">‘Duck Became Swan’ Single Release and Music Video</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Flaming_Youth.pdf\">‘Flaming Youth’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-In.pdf\"><em>In</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Cousteau.pdf\">‘Cousteau’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Lava_Digital_Release.pdf\"><em>Lava</em> Album Digital Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Hubble_Single.pdf\">‘Hubble’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Signing.pdf\">Markus Mehr Signs to Hidden Shoal</a>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[gallery ids=\"10433,10435,9020,9021,9022,9023,9024,9025,9019\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/dGRCY37hMm4?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/PcfMLHZZomw?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/1jIYi486n0c?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\nMarkus Mehr\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

After recording and touring with several bands, he struck out on his own with home studio project Aroma.</p><p>Now working under his own name, Mehr wrote and recorded his debut album <em>Lava</em> at his home studio using guitars and synths, plus any noise-making accoutrements at hand – electric shavers, ventilators, electric tooth brushes and field recordings –all processed and distorted to create a gorgeous wall of sound, akin to the classic ’70s Kosmische music of Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream, but also the contemporary masters of textured luminosity, Fennesz and Tim Hecker. His follow up albums, <em>In</em>, <em>On</em> and <em>Off </em> pushed the sonic and structural envelope even further and created a triptych of works that stands amongst the most engaging contemporary experimental music of our days.</p><p>Mehr’s extensive live performances across Europe include collaborations with visual artist Stefanie Sixt and performances in churches, galleries and large disused gas tanks amongst the more traditional festival shows.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<p> </p><h3>News</h3>[catlist name=markus-mehr content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<br /> [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<p> </p><h2>Reviews</h2>[catlist name=markus-mehr-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<br /> [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Live_In_Bari.pdf\"><em>Live in Bari</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Off.pdf\"><em>Off</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Duck_Became_Swan.pdf\">‘Duck Became Swan’ Single Release and Music Video</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Flaming_Youth.pdf\">‘Flaming Youth’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-In.pdf\"><em>In</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Cousteau.pdf\">‘Cousteau’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Lava_Digital_Release.pdf\"><em>Lava</em> Album Digital Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Hubble_Single.pdf\">‘Hubble’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Signing.pdf\">Markus Mehr Signs to Hidden Shoal</a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"10433,10435,9020,9021,9022,9023,9024,9025,9019\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/dGRCY37hMm4?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/PcfMLHZZomw?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/1jIYi486n0c?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Markus Mehr\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The single-track album begins in silence, as a thrumming loop gradually emerges. From there, a beautiful piano refrain is introduced, noise ebbs and flows, threatening to engulf the piece, while field recordings and swooningly transportive synth patterns drift into focus. During its 42-minute runtime, the piece immerses the listener in a dizzyingly beautiful soundworld that’s ever-shifting. Certain passages allude to other sequences and samples in the preceding albums, linking the three albums into a kaleidoscopic mobius strip.</p><div> </div><div> </div><h4>On</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 406px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2332510059/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/on\">On by Markus Mehr</a></iframe><br /> July 2012</p><div> </div><p>The new album <em>On</em> by German experimental ambient artist Markus Mehr, forms the second part of a triptych that also includes recent release <em>In</em> and the forthcoming <em>Off</em>.</p><p><em>On</em> is a continuation of the experimental direction of Markus Mehr’s previous releases, with eight diverse tracks employing samples, field recordings and slathers of Mehr’s trademark distorted drones. This approach is apparent right from opener ‘Gonna Make You Mine’, as scything slashes of sound leap from the speakers. Single ‘Flaming Youth’ counterbalances fragments of static against a gorgeous sleepy-eyed loop of mangled lounge-jazz. A track as expansive and moving as ‘Duck Became Swan’ is followed by brief rhythmic piece ‘Olympia’. This tightrope walk between dizzying samples and exacting digital manipulation is walked with aplomb throughout <em>On</em>’s adventurous and thrilling 45-minute runtime.</p><p><em>On</em> is preceded by <em>In</em>, the first part of the triptych, which comprises two monumental tracks, ‘Komo’ and ‘Ostinato’, each of which clocks in at around 25 minutes, circling around and building upon hypnotic instrumental motifs. The final part of the triptych, Off, released on 24 January 2013, includes the most epic piece yet, ‘Transit’, which clocks in at 49 minutes and will be performed live in collaboration with video artist Stefanie Sixt, who created the video to Mehr’s single ‘Cousteau’.</p><div> </div><div> </div><h4>In</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 210px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4000928914/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/in\">In by Markus Mehr</a></iframe><br /> January 2012</p><div> </div><p>Markus Mehr follows up his stunning debut album <em>Lava</em> with three new releases released over a 12 month period. In is the first part of the triptych, comprising two monumental tracks, ‘Komo’ and ‘Ostinato’, each of which clocks in at around 25 minutes, circling around and building upon hypnotic instrumental motifs. ‘Komo’ gradually emerges from silence, its distant, filtered throb reluctantly revealing its source material – a heartbreaking string part whose emotional impact intensifies as the loop clarifies. ‘Ostinato’ is an altogether darker, gnarlier experience, its string loops chewed into distorted knots which are highlighted by treated guitars and crafted electronics.</p><p>The second part, <em>On</em>, released on 21 June 2012, takes a more experimental direction, with eight diverse tracks employing samples, field recordings and slathers of Mehr’s trademark distorted drones.

But, after any destructive force there is new growth. Green shoots of melody arc out of the surface and populate the terrain as new possibilities emerge. A new master of heartbreaking ambient drone has arrived. These tracks evoke time spent transfixed, gazing through a giant looking glass, waiting wide-eyed as new discoveries are revealed in the album’s textured contours.</p><p>On epic opener ‘Agenda’, layers of gorgeous synth gradually accumulate into a gloriously massive chord. On single ‘Hubble’, a bedrock of fuzzed drone is decorated with glistening counter-melodies, tracing shards of light across the coal-black skies. ‘Softwar’ builds and then falls away, only to return with a spine-tingling theme that crumbles under its own majesty.</p><p><em>Lava</em>’s ability to both suspend the listener in its abstracted liquid vapours and at the same time imprint its affecting narrative is a special thing. It is one of those albums whose emotional impact stays with you long after you feel its last touch.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<h3>Biography</h3><p>Based in Augsburg, south Germany, Markus Mehr’s musical journey began with the guitar. He grew up listening to bands like Black Sabbath and AC/DC, before turning his ears to darker sounds and the ethereal, experimental pop of David Sylvian. After recording and touring with several bands, he struck out on his own with home studio project Aroma.</p><p>Now working under his own name, Mehr wrote and recorded his debut album <em>Lava</em> at his home studio using guitars and synths, plus any noise-making accoutrements at hand – electric shavers, ventilators, electric tooth brushes and field recordings –all processed and distorted to create a gorgeous wall of sound, akin to the classic ’70s Kosmische music of Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream, but also the contemporary masters of textured luminosity, Fennesz and Tim Hecker. His follow up albums, <em>In</em>, <em>On</em> and <em>Off </em> pushed the sonic and structural envelope even further and created a triptych of works that stands amongst the most engaging contemporary experimental music of our days.</p><p>Mehr’s extensive live performances across Europe include collaborations with visual artist Stefanie Sixt and performances in churches, galleries and large disused gas tanks amongst the more traditional festival shows.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<p> </p><h3>News</h3>[catlist name=markus-mehr content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<br /> [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<p> </p><h2>Reviews</h2>[catlist name=markus-mehr-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<br /> [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Live_In_Bari.pdf\"><em>Live in Bari</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Off.pdf\"><em>Off</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Duck_Became_Swan.pdf\">‘Duck Became Swan’ Single Release and Music Video</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Flaming_Youth.pdf\">‘Flaming Youth’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-In.pdf\"><em>In</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Cousteau.pdf\">‘Cousteau’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Lava_Digital_Release.pdf\"><em>Lava</em> Album Digital Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Hubble_Single.pdf\">‘Hubble’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Signing.pdf\">Markus Mehr Signs to Hidden Shoal</a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"10433,10435,9020,9021,9022,9023,9024,9025,9019\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/dGRCY37hMm4?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/PcfMLHZZomw?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/1jIYi486n0c?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Markus Mehr\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

Grothe’s musical explorations began by writing and recordings guitar-based songs at home, and over time his approach has become more experimental in nature. His current productions often evolve from live improvisation sessions, incorporating sound-manipulation software such as max/msp to develop a richly layered yet spacious sound. Grothe is also a member of the improvisational trio Unland, featuring ambient artist Jonas Meyer and clarinetist Shabnam Pavaresh.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<h3>News</h3>[catlist name=kryshe-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Reviews</h2>[catlist name=kryshe-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<p>No reviews yet, sorry!</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3><p>No press releases yet, sorry!</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery link=\"file\" ids=\"10297,10301,10300\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/DcbLFCvLlWY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe><br /> Kryshe Liveset at Mimis Osnabrück.

I launched the first track on my computer, and as I often do, I started doing something else at the same time, reading an email, go on Facebook, make me a coffee, I messed up our brief first meeting. For \"The Wooden Heart\" is one of those discs that deserve a real, physical and mental presence, attention, heart, a meeting with his whole being. This is not the soundtrack of banal routine activities or the soundtrack of a single emotion: it is a return to self.\r\n\r\nThese six songs are magical, they have the real power to slow time that has continued to accelerate for decades. Against the backdrop of pop / folk and dreamy airy, air and padded, songs written and arranged beautifully with which Kramies invites us to let go, to regain the carefree spirit of childhood, the imperturbable romance of our youth. He urges us not to close the door of our dreams. A disc to listen, to feel, which is assessed as a strong deep meditation and intimate and dreamlike. A gift, a gift.\r\n\r\nA trip or a dream?\r\n\r\nI still do not know, but it is no longer important.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>The Beginning</strong>\r\nIn the beginning was the end, the end. A pulse that beats at idle. Slower, it would be nothing left alive in this lay there under that big tent body. Breathing is steady but low, eyes closed, eyelashes barely moved by air currents that sweep the waning night, the lights are out for a long time under the dome canvas deserted. On the floor the scattered remains of an ancient feast, forgotten, and some notes floating in the air, wandering somewhere there is someone who puts his wrinkled fingers on a piano abandoned, out there, in humidity of this distant corner of land at the edge of the dense and dark wood, dimly lit by a quarter of a veiled and hazy moon, and the notes that slip into the shadows at the edge of this inert body , flirting with ears that lay on the dirt floor man, and decide interfere in it. It is the beginning, not the end, breath resuscitation, life coated the heart on.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sea Otter Cottage</strong>\r\nComa, he wakes up and finally falls asleep. A dream begins or the life that comes back, it\'s kind of the same thing right?

The graceful but decided notes describe his body still numb by prolonged rest, as ants conscientious, they guide his steps to the entrance of the tent, outside the world, which pierces a ray of light, and low distance, the pace is slow, sleepy, the call from outside, from the sea, the sky, the call of the forest, the heart does the rest, the air is cool outside, he rubs his eyes, stretches his muscles are still asleep, but he realizes there after a seemingly endless path, lined with torches and weeds, light rain falls, the trail follows the forest, he took it towards the horizon , probably towards the ocean, he sees this massive and light at a time, on a rope suspended in the air, wooden tall ship, waiting, he sees the old piano, a little out of tune on deck, he saw the notes that escape at the foot of infinite mat. But there is no one on the bridge, nobody sitting at that piano, no one on this path, then he starts to think of it, he guesses, he shapes it, it appears, sylph down from heaven, accompanied by fireflies , as he had imagined, and here he smiled again, this wooden puppet he slurred, awkward, but proud and confident, full of sap, she takes his hand and leads him to the ship ready to sail\r\n\r\n<strong>Upon The Northern Isles</strong>\r\nBarely on board, they feel the slight shaking, shivering in the womb as a fear repressed but joyous, peaceful excitement the win, the rope dropped the test, the moorings remained ashore, the ship file, pen timber , ropes and canvas around him, the elements are fixed, time stopped, they argue, life is moving, they smile, are no longer a puppet numb wood or fallen god of the sky but free and believing children, amazed, light, they come and go over the bridge, dancing in the rain sometimes falls, then ask to watch the worlds that are printed in slow motion on the charcoal sky, they fly over fields beaten wind caressing the dawn, plains bathed bursts morning a still timid star, millennia and labyrinthine deltas, multicolored sea, deserted islands, sunken islands, like many wonders imagined countries awakenings. They slide, love, live.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Wooden Heart</strong>\r\nThe sun finally dared to take his place in the sky, travel is no longer a dream, the dream is not a dream, nor quite a journey, it is a time acceleration, soft and warm, flows , currents combine to bring effortless to meet pre landscapes, they come and go over the bridge and then arise to observe the worlds that are printed in slow motion on the sky became pastel, they fly over traversed by unruly children laughing and campaigns, quiet towns, bathed in autumnal leaves lakes, rivers cleared, roads fallow schoolyards swirling, lovers entwined, pollinated flowers, woods inhabited, haunted forests , talkative and caring trees. They slide, love, live up there somewhere in the roots of heaven.\r\n\r\n<strong>All Were Broken Clocks</strong>\r\nWhile the celestial vessel continued on, they are there, lying on the deck flooded with a gentle summer rain, sometimes eyes open, staring into the empty blue, sometimes half closed, time is again put in slow motion, as if he understood that he had to hang the last part of the journey, as if he knew they did not want to wake up or go home, or sleeping, or to leave. As if time had decided to make them even a gift, give them those few intense and fleeting moment of eternity frozen. While they relish these stolen life, night, city, other moments, but the melancholy wins despite everything, despite the efforts of the time, in spite of themselves. If a bird approached sufficiently from the cracked bridge, if he passed over their faces when their eyes are half-closed, then maybe he would see a tear born in the orbit of the eye again amazed by this trip dream. A tear of joy sad. A tear of sadness joyful. It\'s all about nuance. And meaning.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Ending</strong>\r\nThe beginning, the end of the beginning, in the beginning there was no ether, nor was there was you, your laughter-behaved, your hair made my shyness, beauty, future, now there to us, our hands folded, and he, his ineffable confidence, his love of life, our hope, a future. The ship begins its descent through the clouds, we meet a host of birds, unidentified flying objects, some lights, dust ephemeral, I will soon wake up, fall asleep or I do not know which of dream or journey began, whatever, life or night can resume their course, I can doze off or get up and leave or stay, the music came into my view it is unlikely that it comes out one day, it is embedded in my blood, it flows through my veins. My heart beat resumed.\"\r\n\r\n- <a title=\"Pop Culture &amp; Co.\" href=\"http://culturepopculture.com/2014/08/31/slow-emotion/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Pop Culture and Co.</strong></a>','Kramies \"The Wooden Heart\" Reviewed at Pop Culture and Co.','','inherit','closed','closed','','10479-revision-v1','','','2014-09-03 03:59:32','2014-09-03 03:59:32','',10479,'http://www.hiddenshoal.com/10479-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(10485,1,'2014-09-03 03:59:54','2014-09-03 03:59:54','Nearly a year on from its original release the magic of Kramies <em>The Wooden Heart</em> EP is still resonating with fans and press alike.

Here is a little taster to get you going,\r\n\r\n<em>\"... \"The Wooden Heart\" is one of those discs that deserve a real, physical and mental presence, attention, heart, a meeting with his whole being. This is not the soundtrack of banal routine activities or the soundtrack of a single emotion: it is a return to self. These six songs are magical, they have the real power to slow time that has continued to accelerate for decades. Against the backdrop of pop / folk and dreamy airy, air and padded, songs written and arranged beautifully with which Kramies invites us to let go, to regain the carefree spirit of childhood, the imperturbable romance of our youth. He urges us not to close the door of our dreams. A disc to listen, to feel, which is assessed as a strong deep meditation and intimate and dreamlike.

At the same time definite and a ghostly impression, Antonymes floats free of fixed points while anxiously staying in sight of genres, movements, scenes, connections, contexts and innovations that have piled up and broken down around it.</p><p><strong><a title=\"Facebook\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Antonymes/108567235841143?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8763\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Facebook.png\" alt=\"Facebook\" width=\"26\" height=\"20\" /></a>  <a title=\"Twitter\" href=\"https://twitter.com/Antonymes\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8766\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Twitter.png\" alt=\"Twitter\" width=\"26\" height=\"20\" /></a>  <a title=\"SoundCloud\" href=\"https://soundcloud.com/antonymes\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8764\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/SoundCloud.png\" alt=\"SoundCloud\" width=\"26\" height=\"20\" /></a>  <a title=\"Website\" href=\"http://www.antonymes.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8767\" src=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Website.png\" alt=\"Website\" width=\"26\" height=\"20\" /></a> </strong></p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=\"Divider\" color=\"#ffffff\" show_divider=\"off\" /][et_pb_tabs admin_label=\"Artist Tabs\"][et_pb_tab title=\"Discography\"]<h3>Discography</h3><div> </div><div> </div><h4>We Don\'t Look Back For Very Long (with Slow Dancing Society)</h4><div> </div><p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 600px; height: 274px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4290771882/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=none/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://antonymes.bandcamp.com/album/we-dont-look-back-for-very-long\">We Don\'t Look Back For Very Long by Antonymes meets Slow Dancing Society</a></iframe><br /> October 2011</p><div> </div><p><em>We Don’t Look Back For Very Long </em>sees Antonymes reworking a track from each of fellow Hidden Shoal artist Slow Dancing Society’s four albums, casting radiant new light on the stunning originals.

The track sits as a wonderful companion piece to the album, as recognised melodies unfurl, cloaked in new guises. As a work unto itself it once again places Antonymes at the height of his game, producing some of the most emotionally and sonically engaging work being released today.

It is an album of resonant beauty, as expansive as the wilds of North Wales from which it came, yet as delicate and intimate as a loved one’s breath upon your skin. Each song deploys a modest array of instruments and textures, giving them ample space to breathe and glow. The album’s scope is immediately apparent on breathtaking opener ‘The Slow Beginnings of a ‘A Fragile Acceptance’, where faint piano notes are overwhelmed by an aching surge of cellos, and the timeless, lingering chord progression of ‘The Siren, Hopelessly Lost’. Single ‘Endlessly’ weaves traces of nature with unearthly, oscillating tones before giving way to a strident piano theme. On ‘Doubt’, Jan Van Den Broek delivers the words of Paul Morley, cradled against a bed of melancholic piano, violin and cello, leaving an indelible emotional mark. ‘A Light From The Heavens’ almost feels like a natural conclusion to the album, with its sense of reflective yearning, but it is followed by the devastating metaphysical breakdown of ‘On Arrival at the Strange Museum’, a cavernous piece that calls out like some giant magnetic spirit.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<h3>Biography</h3><p>Antonymes is designer, photographer, conceptualist and musician Ian M. Hazeldine, making music from the wilds of North Wales, a very strange, fantastic, ultimately unreal place of mountains, streams, woods, villages and obscure wilderness. To quote North Welsh poet R. S. Thomas, “to live in Wales is to be conscious at dusk of the spilled blood that went into the making of the wild sky, dyeing the wild rivers in all their courses.” His music begins at the piano, where notes, space and intention combine over time, until a shape appears. This shape is taken into the computer, where it is twisted, gently, and given more detail, until it is fully formed. Composition takes form through patience, probing, occasional accidents, spontaneity and a form of focused daydreaming.</p><p>Debut mini-album <em>Beauty Becomes The Enemy of the Future</em> was released initially on David Newlyn’s Cathedral Transmissions label in December 2009, and as a self-published book in spring 2010. A second 2010 release, <em>31: Before The Light Fails</em>, was released as a digital download and as a special box, an edition of one, containing music and photography, representing Antonymes’ fear and suspicion of the herd mentality. The piece consisted of two tracks to be played simultaneously in separate rooms. Various pieces by Antonymes have appeared on compilations produced by labels Soundcolours, Dezordr, Cathedral Transmissions and Audio Gourmet. The album <em>The Licence To Interpet Dreams</em> was released by Hidden Shoal to widespread critical acclaim in early 2011.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<h3>News</h3>[catlist name=antonymes-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Reviews</h2>[catlist name=antonymes-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<h3>Press Releases</h3><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">Antonymes meets Slow Dancing Society – <em>We Don’t Look Back For Very Long</em> </a> <a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">EP </a></p><p><em><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Lost_In_Waves_Of_Light.pdf\">Lost In Waves Of Light</a></em></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\"><em>The Licence To Interpret Dreams</em> Album</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\">‘Endlessly’ Single</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_Signing.pdf\">Antonymes Signing</a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p><p>[gallery ids=\"8222,8221,8220,8219,10495\"]</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/U7tLhh8a1lo?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/4senhm9eiTY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Antonymes\' music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

The result is a gorgeously seductive instrumental, in which restraint and space are as alluring as the sounds blooming across the stereo field.

Each song deploys a modest array of instruments and textures, giving them ample space to breathe and glow.

Single ‘Endlessly’ weaves traces of nature with unearthly, oscillating tones before giving way to a strident piano theme. On ‘Doubt’, Jan Van Den Broek delivers the words of Paul Morley, cradled against a bed of melancholic piano, violin and cello, leaving an indelible emotional mark. ‘A Light From The Heavens’ almost feels like a natural conclusion to the album, with its sense of reflective yearning, but it is followed by the devastating metaphysical breakdown of ‘On Arrival at the Strange Museum’, a cavernous piece that calls out like some giant magnetic spirit.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nAntonymes is designer, photographer, conceptualist and musician Ian M. Hazeldine, making music from the wilds of North Wales, a very strange, fantastic, ultimately unreal place of mountains, streams, woods, villages and obscure wilderness. To quote North Welsh poet R. S. Thomas, “to live in Wales is to be conscious at dusk of the spilled blood that went into the making of the wild sky, dyeing the wild rivers in all their courses.” His music begins at the piano, where notes, space and intention combine over time, until a shape appears. This shape is taken into the computer, where it is twisted, gently, and given more detail, until it is fully formed. Composition takes form through patience, probing, occasional accidents, spontaneity and a form of focused daydreaming.\r\n\r\nDebut mini-album <em>Beauty Becomes The Enemy of the Future</em> was released initially on David Newlyn’s Cathedral Transmissions label in December 2009, and as a self-published book in spring 2010. A second 2010 release, <em>31: Before The Light Fails</em>, was released as a digital download and as a special box, an edition of one, containing music and photography, representing Antonymes’ fear and suspicion of the herd mentality. The piece consisted of two tracks to be played simultaneously in separate rooms. Various pieces by Antonymes have appeared on compilations produced by labels Soundcolours, Dezordr, Cathedral Transmissions and Audio Gourmet. The album <em>The Licence To Interpet Dreams</em> was released by Hidden Shoal to widespread critical acclaim in early 2011.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=antonymes-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=antonymes-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">Antonymes meets Slow Dancing Society – <em>We Don’t Look Back For Very Long</em> </a> <a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">EP </a>\r\n\r\n<em><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Lost_In_Waves_Of_Light.pdf\">Lost In Waves Of Light</a></em>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\"><em>The Licence To Interpret Dreams</em> Album</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\">‘Endlessly’ Single</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_Signing.pdf\">Antonymes Signing</a>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[gallery ids=\"8222,8221,8220,8219,10501\"]\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/U7tLhh8a1lo?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/4senhm9eiTY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\nAntonymes\' music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

Composition takes form through patience, probing, occasional accidents, spontaneity and a form of focused daydreaming.</p>\r\n<p>Debut mini-album <em>Beauty Becomes The Enemy of the Future</em> was released initially on David Newlyn’s Cathedral Transmissions label in December 2009, and as a self-published book in spring 2010. A second 2010 release, <em>31: Before The Light Fails</em>, was released as a digital download and as a special box, an edition of one, containing music and photography, representing Antonymes’ fear and suspicion of the herd mentality. The piece consisted of two tracks to be played simultaneously in separate rooms. Various pieces by Antonymes have appeared on compilations produced by labels Soundcolours, Dezordr, Cathedral Transmissions and Audio Gourmet. The album <em>The Licence To Interpet Dreams</em> was released by Hidden Shoal to widespread critical acclaim in early 2011.</p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<br />\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=antonymes-news content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<br />\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=antonymes-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">Antonymes meets Slow Dancing Society – <em>We Don’t Look Back For Very Long</em> </a> <a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">EP </a></p>\r\n<p><em><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Lost_In_Waves_Of_Light.pdf\">Lost In Waves Of Light</a></em></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\"><em>The Licence To Interpret Dreams</em> Album</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes-Endlessly.pdf\">‘Endlessly’ Single</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_Signing.pdf\">Antonymes Signing</a></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[gallery ids=\"8222,8221,8220,8219,10501\"]\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/U7tLhh8a1lo?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/4senhm9eiTY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n<p>Antonymes\' music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.
