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.[/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][/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][/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>\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/uM1_Ov-ont0?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/-l4F8vCH8MM?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/vOHV7ZWshkM?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/TdmV4aOSmxE?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/C5865MiACPA?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/KxAnc3dj3b0?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n<p>Antonymes music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

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’).

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][/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][/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>Antonymes music is  available for licensing (master & 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: 400px; 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: 400px; 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][/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][/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 &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

As our temporal relationships have become unmoored from natural rhythms, we experience profound disconnection and distortion, leaving us disoriented and disturbed. Mehr crafted the seven pieces over the course of more than five years, resulting in a dizzying collage of sound that both conveys and charts a path through digital consciousness.\r\n\r\n<em>Dyschronia</em> simultaneously employs and dissolves electronic markers, creating a heady and at times groundless ride. As with all Mehr’s work, the album is challenging yet incredibly satisfying, shot through with moments of quite staggering beauty, such as the haunting acoustic guitar melody in ‘Dyschronia 4’. At the album’s conclusion, the sample “Why didn’t you destroy the tapes?” speaks to our inability to escape surveillance, our very lives enmeshed in the technology we have created in our attempts at liberation.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Re-Directed</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 373px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=799048543/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/re-directed\">RE DIRECTED by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\r\nApril 2016\r\n\r\n<em>Re-Directed</em> is a confrontational soundwork of digital surrealism, underpinned by a potent and timely theme: our dependence upon digital technology and communication, and how this dependence renders us vulnerable to exploitation. The project originated as an audiovisual performance with long-time collaborator Stefanie Sixt, for which Markus Mehr recorded hours of sound from servers, hard disks and mobile phones using induction microphones, rendering the inaudible audible and bringing the background noise of digital life into focus. Mehr’s lens is trained on our uncritical reliance upon the invisible systems that infiltrate our everyday lives, silently eating away at our capacity for self-determination.\r\n\r\nPerhaps the most confrontational and abstract release in Mehr’s discography thus far, <em>Re-Directed</em> challenges the narrow confines of music, moving towards the realm of musique concrète. It demands active engagement from the listener, alongside acknowledgement of its conceptual nature. As challenging and complex as it may be, <em>Re-Directed</em> is an incredibly powerful and immersive listening experience for those willing to undertake the journey on Mehr’s terms.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>In The Palm Of Your Hand - The Remix EP</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 307px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4074111254/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-palm-of-your-hand-the-remix-ep\">In The Palm Of Your Hand - The Remix EP by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\r\nOctober 2015\r\n\r\n<em>In the Palm of Your Hand – The Remix EP</em> brings together four unique remixes of the track ‘In the Palm of Your Hand’, lifted from Mehr’s latest album, <em>Binary Rooms</em>.\r\n\r\nThe original album mix of ‘In the Palm of Your Hand’ maps out the dichotomy at the heart of <em>Binary Rooms</em>. While plaintive piano chords suggest openness and possibility, they’re perpetually hemmed in by a claustrophobic industrial throb, creating a tension that aches to be resolved. The first remix, by Hamburg duo <a title=\"incite/\" href=\"http://www.incite.hamburg/\" target=\"_blank\">incite/</a>, ramps up the tension by slicing and dicing the ambient throb into a glitchy tapestry and smothering the piano in sonic gauze. <a title=\"Conga Fever\" href=\"https://soundcloud.com/congafever\" target=\"_blank\">Conga Fever</a> dials back the ambience and juxtaposes the piano against a sun-dappled beatscape. Hidden Shoal labelmate <a title=\"Erik Nilsson\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/erik-nilsson/\" target=\"_blank\">Erik Nilsson</a> makes the piano the focus, bringing in field recordings to create the feeling of a beautiful jazz improvisation taking place on a demolition site.

This special performance includes live orchestra and choir along with visuals by Stefanie Sixt.\r\n\r\nAs Markus Mehr explains in a new interview with Hidden Shoal’s Matthew Tomich, the live performance of ‘Gymnasium/Swarms’, which opened this year’s Modular Festival in Augsburg, Germany, involved Mehr’s collaboration with conductor Michael Kamm, plus the Modular Orchestra and Chamber Choir of Augsburg University. The live video by Florian Strandl depicts the musicians masterful reinterpretation of the music’s evocative, beatless soundworld via the clever use of clocks and Michael Kamm’s conducting. From rustling paper and shuffling feet, to gorgeous sustained choral tones and vibraphone, ‘Gymnasium/Swarms Live with Orchestra’ is a unique performance of a deeply evocative piece of sound art.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>To Set The River On Fire</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 274px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1811294613/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/album/to-set-the-river-on-fire\">To Set The River On Fire by Chloe March vs. Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\r\nFebruary 2015\r\n<div></div>\r\nThe new EP release To Set The River On Fire opens a window into a new universe of possibilities: Hidden Shoal artists remixing each other’s music. In the first of what we hope will become an ongoing series, English dream-pop artist Chloë March takes on a track from the latest album by German experimentalist Markus Mehr – and vice versa. Listening to ‘Buoy (Chloë March Remix)’ feels like watching Chloë March creep tentatively into Markus Mehr’s shadowy soundworld, casting her radiant voice around the room like torchlight. While on ‘Ember (Markus Mehr Remix)’, the original’s beautifully simple arrangement for voice and piano is trapped within a hall of industrial-sized mirrors, anxiously roving around in search of escape. Each remix complements the other, masterfully re-interpreting the source material while inviting fresh listens to the original.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Binary Rooms</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 406px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3445084080/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/binary-rooms\">Binary Rooms by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\r\nOctober 2014\r\n<div></div>\r\nMehr’s work has seen a subtle shift in scale across his five studio albums. From the widescreen cosmic vistas of <em>Lava</em> to some of the more intimate moments of his 42-minute single-track opus <em>Off</em>, Mehr has now come to examine the most challenging space yet – that of our everyday lives and the spatial narratives that surround us. Mehr’s music has always possessed a keen sense of and negotiation with scale, and on <em>Binary Rooms</em> he challenges notions of personal space, juxtaposing the human against the industrial, the gentle and intimate against the jolting and harsh. Mehr acts as a fragment hunter, meshing machine-like tones with the discarded elements of humanity; narrative with anti-narrative. On <em>Binary Rooms</em> he manages to create a spatial remix – a striking re-design of aural reality filled with a living, digital biology. Experimental filmmaker and Markus Mehr collaborator <a href=\"https://vimeo.com/sixtsense/videos\">Stefanie Sixt</a> has created a stunning new video work for the track \'Gymnasium/Swarms\' which can be viewed in full at <a href=\"https://vimeo.com/105644655\" rel=\"lightbox-video-0\">Vimeo.</a>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Off</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 170px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=398032740/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/off\">Off by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\r\nJanuary 2013\r\n<div></div>\r\n<em>Off</em>  by German experimental ambient artist Markus Mehr, is the third and final part of a trilogy that includes the critically acclaimed releases <em>In</em> and <em>On</em>. <em>Off</em>  is not only the culmination of Markus Mehr’s trilogy, but it may also be the culmination of his career’s work thus far. 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.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>On</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<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>\r\nJuly 2012\r\n<div></div>\r\nThe 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>. <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. <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’.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>In</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<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>\r\nJanuary 2012\r\n<div></div>\r\nMarkus 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. 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. And finally, <em>Off</em>, 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’.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Lava</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 439px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=634202850/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/lava\">Lava by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\r\nAugust 2010\r\n<div></div>\r\n<em>Lava</em> holds true to its title – it is a dense surge of glue-think sound, making new paths as it pushes through the landscape. 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. 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. <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.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nBased 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.\r\n\r\nNow 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.\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<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[catlist name=markus-mehr-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Slow Dancing Society Reviews\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/reviews/markus-mehr-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/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=\"10433,10435,9020,9021,9022,9023,9024,9025,9019,15376\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/158045979\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/NNOsYOGPyik?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ghve0iRVjOI?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\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.

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. 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.

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.[/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. 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.

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.[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\n<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. 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.

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.[/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.

While plaintive piano chords suggest openness and possibility, they’re perpetually hemmed in by a claustrophobic industrial throb, creating a tension that aches to be resolved. The first remix, by Hamburg duo <a title=\"incite/\" href=\"http://www.incite.hamburg/\" target=\"_blank\">incite/</a>, ramps up the tension by slicing and dicing the ambient throb into a glitchy tapestry and smothering the piano in sonic gauze. <a title=\"Conga Fever\" href=\"https://soundcloud.com/congafever\" target=\"_blank\">Conga Fever</a> dials back the ambience and juxtaposes the piano against a sun-dappled beatscape. Hidden Shoal labelmate <a title=\"Erik Nilsson\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/erik-nilsson/\" target=\"_blank\">Erik Nilsson</a> makes the piano the focus, bringing in field recordings to create the feeling of a beautiful jazz improvisation taking place on a demolition site.

This special performance includes live orchestra and choir along with visuals by Stefanie Sixt.\n\nAs Markus Mehr explains in a new interview with Hidden Shoal’s Matthew Tomich, the live performance of ‘Gymnasium/Swarms’, which opened this year’s Modular Festival in Augsburg, Germany, involved Mehr’s collaboration with conductor Michael Kamm, plus the Modular Orchestra and Chamber Choir of Augsburg University. The live video by Florian Strandl depicts the musicians masterful reinterpretation of the music’s evocative, beatless soundworld via the clever use of clocks and Michael Kamm’s conducting. From rustling paper and shuffling feet, to gorgeous sustained choral tones and vibraphone, ‘Gymnasium/Swarms Live with Orchestra’ is a unique performance of a deeply evocative piece of sound art.\n<div></div>\n<div></div>\n<h4>To Set The River On Fire</h4>\n<div></div>\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 274px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1811294613/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://hiddenshoal.bandcamp.com/album/to-set-the-river-on-fire\">To Set The River On Fire by Chloe March vs. Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\nFebruary 2015\n<div></div>\nThe new EP release To Set The River On Fire opens a window into a new universe of possibilities: Hidden Shoal artists remixing each other’s music. In the first of what we hope will become an ongoing series, English dream-pop artist Chloë March takes on a track from the latest album by German experimentalist Markus Mehr – and vice versa. Listening to ‘Buoy (Chloë March Remix)’ feels like watching Chloë March creep tentatively into Markus Mehr’s shadowy soundworld, casting her radiant voice around the room like torchlight. While on ‘Ember (Markus Mehr Remix)’, the original’s beautifully simple arrangement for voice and piano is trapped within a hall of industrial-sized mirrors, anxiously roving around in search of escape. Each remix complements the other, masterfully re-interpreting the source material while inviting fresh listens to the original.\n<div></div>\n<div></div>\n<h4>Binary Rooms</h4>\n<div></div>\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 406px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3445084080/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/binary-rooms\">Binary Rooms by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\nOctober 2014\n<div></div>\nMehr’s work has seen a subtle shift in scale across his five studio albums. From the widescreen cosmic vistas of <em>Lava</em> to some of the more intimate moments of his 42-minute single-track opus <em>Off</em>, Mehr has now come to examine the most challenging space yet – that of our everyday lives and the spatial narratives that surround us. Mehr’s music has always possessed a keen sense of and negotiation with scale, and on <em>Binary Rooms</em> he challenges notions of personal space, juxtaposing the human against the industrial, the gentle and intimate against the jolting and harsh. Mehr acts as a fragment hunter, meshing machine-like tones with the discarded elements of humanity; narrative with anti-narrative. On <em>Binary Rooms</em> he manages to create a spatial remix – a striking re-design of aural reality filled with a living, digital biology. Experimental filmmaker and Markus Mehr collaborator <a href=\"https://vimeo.com/sixtsense/videos\">Stefanie Sixt</a> has created a stunning new video work for the track \'Gymnasium/Swarms\' which can be viewed in full at <a href=\"https://vimeo.com/105644655\" rel=\"lightbox-video-0\">Vimeo.</a>\n<div></div>\n<div></div>\n<h4>Off</h4>\n<div></div>\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 170px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=398032740/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/off\">Off by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\nJanuary 2013\n<div></div>\n<em>Off</em>  by German experimental ambient artist Markus Mehr, is the third and final part of a trilogy that includes the critically acclaimed releases <em>In</em> and <em>On</em>. <em>Off</em>  is not only the culmination of Markus Mehr’s trilogy, but it may also be the culmination of his career’s work thus far. 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.\n<div></div>\n<div></div>\n<h4>On</h4>\n<div></div>\n<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>\nJuly 2012\n<div></div>\nThe 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>. <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. <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’.\n<div></div>\n<div></div>\n<h4>In</h4>\n<div></div>\n<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>\nJanuary 2012\n<div></div>\nMarkus 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. 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. And finally, <em>Off</em>, 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’.\n<div></div>\n<div></div>\n<h4>Lava</h4>\n<div></div>\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 439px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=634202850/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/lava\">Lava by Markus Mehr</a></iframe>\nAugust 2010\n<div></div>\n<em>Lava</em> holds true to its title – it is a dense surge of glue-think sound, making new paths as it pushes through the landscape. 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. 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. <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.\n\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\n<h3>Biography</h3>\nBased in Augsburg, south Germany, Markus Mehr’s musical journey began with the guitar.

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.\n\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.\n\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\n\n&nbsp;\n<h3>News</h3>\n[catlist name=markus-mehr content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\n[catlist name=markus-mehr-reviews content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Slow Dancing Society Reviews\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/category/reviews/markus-mehr-reviews/\"><strong>More Reviews</strong></a></p>\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Press Releases\"]\n<h3>Press Releases</h3>\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Live_In_Bari.pdf\"><em>Live in Bari</em> Album Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Off.pdf\"><em>Off</em> Album Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Duck_Became_Swan.pdf\">‘Duck Became Swan’ Single Release and Music Video</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-Flaming_Youth.pdf\">‘Flaming Youth’ Single Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr-In.pdf\"><em>In</em> Album Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Cousteau.pdf\">‘Cousteau’ Single Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Lava_Digital_Release.pdf\"><em>Lava</em> Album Digital Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Hubble_Single.pdf\">‘Hubble’ Single Release</a>\n\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Markus_Mehr_Signing.pdf\">Markus Mehr Signs to Hidden Shoal</a>\n\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\n&nbsp;\n\n[gallery ids=\"10433,10435,9020,9021,9022,9023,9024,9025,9019\"]\n\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\n<iframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/158045979\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/NNOsYOGPyik?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ghve0iRVjOI?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/dGRCY37hMm4?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/PcfMLHZZomw?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/1jIYi486n0c?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\n\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\nMarkus Mehr\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

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.[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<br />\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\n<p>Based in Augsburg, south Germany, Markus Mehr’s musical journey began with the guitar.

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.

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>\r\n<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>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\n<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>\r\n<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>\r\n<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>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]\r\n<p> </p>\r\n<h3>News</h3>\r\n[catlist name=markus-mehr content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title]<br />\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]\r\n<p> </p>\r\n<h2>Reviews</h2>\r\n[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\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[gallery ids=\"9020,9021,9022,9023,9024,9025,9019\"]\r\n<p> [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/dGRCY37hMm4?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/PcfMLHZZomw?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n<p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/1jIYi486n0c?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]\r\n<h3>Licensing</h3>\r\n<p>Markus Mehr\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

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.[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<h3>Biography</h3><p>Wayne Harriss and Stu Medley of Motor Eye (formerly Holding Pattern) have record collections that are scarily similar.

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

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.[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nWayne Harriss and Stu Medley of Motor Eye (formerly Holding Pattern) have record collections that are scarily similar.

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. <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>[/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\"]\r\n<h3>Discography</h3>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>We Don\'t Look Back For Very Long (with Slow Dancing Society)</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<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>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<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.

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. 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.

Scary because Steely Dan and 10cc feature heavily. Combine this with years of playing together with Andy Gill as the Perth sub-country jazz/rock three piece Resin and you have the chemistry for some fine tunes, which belies the speed at which their debut album <em>Motor Eye</em> was made.</p><p>Motor Eye is Wayne and Stu in their semi-electronic, experimental jazz-pop guise. Andy was dragged in as session drummer and squashed down onto one track for each of the songs. Wayne wears his producer’s hat and engineer’s cap for this LP and plays all the bass (Stu’s role in Resin) while keeping an archaic Akai sampler on the go. Stu plays guitars (Wayne’s role in Resin) and keyboards. Vocal duties are shared.</p><p>Now living in separate cities and both working in the graphic media world, Wayne and Stu are trying to get their act together to record a new album.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<p> </p><h3>News</h3>[catlist name=holding-pattern content=yes pagination=no title_tag=h4 title_class=lcp_title][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Reviews\"]<h2>Reviews</h2>[catlist name=holding-pattern-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 title=\"PressRelease\" href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release_9th_May.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">“Motor Eye” Album Release</a></p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery columns=\"2\" ids=\"9046\"][/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p> No music videos, sorry!</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>Motor Eye\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

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.[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nWayne Harriss and Stu Medley of Motor Eye (formerly Holding Pattern) have record collections that are scarily similar.

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. Antonymes new album <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Licence To Interpret Dreams</span> has been met with universal acclaim since its release in April. 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.

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.[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]</p><h3>Biography</h3><p>Wayne Harriss and Stu Medley of Motor Eye (formerly Holding Pattern) have record collections that are scarily similar.

In the case of Mukaizake’s stunning new release <em>Unknown Knowns</em>, the cliché applies: this six-song, half-hour mini-album is sheer perfection. <em>Unknown Knowns</em> kicks off with the fuzzy propulsion of single ‘The Yeah Conditioner’, immediately launching the listener into Mukaizake’s compelling corner of the musical universe. This is serpentine indie-rock at its finest, weaving hook after hook around your chest until you’re suspended from the clouds, a grin plastered across your face, unable to even think about listening to anything else. ‘Rule Norse’ ups the ante with a thunderously rollicking first half that follows with gorgeous layered backing vocals and hovering guitars in the exultant, expansive second half. ‘Corporal Steam’ winds the album down a notch with its chiming circular guitar harmonics and Geoff Symons’ plaintive vocals before ‘Frisbee’ launches the listener off the edge of a cliff attached to an electric boomerang of riffs and angular melodies. Then, the stunningly wistful ‘My Friend Flicker’ and the dreamy lament of ‘Slack Bees’ bring the listener down in a pool of dazzling songmanship.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4>Mapping The Static</h4>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 472px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=573741616/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://mukaizake.bandcamp.com/album/mapping-the-static\">Mapping The Static by Mukaizake</a></iframe>\r\nJuly 2003\r\n\r\nMukaizake\'s brilliant debut album mixes elements of math-rock, indie-rock and post-rock into a sublime and mesmerisingly melodic whole. <em>Mapping the Static</em> presented a sound that was somehow innately representative of the best music of their home town of Perth, yet also traversed far beyond it. The scope of Mukaizake\'s songwriting and sense of melody on their debut was, and still is, something to behold.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nMukaizake formed in 1999 when four friends banded together to create a new voice in the Perth music scene. The band comprises Dan Erickson (Bluetile Lounge), Simon Struthers (Umpire, Adam Said Galore), Geoff Symons (Umpire, ex-Adam Said Galore, O!), and Michael Lake (Umpire, ex-Adam Said Galore). The band have supported artists such as Mercury Rev, Death Cab For Cutie, Will Oldham, Dave Pajo (Papa M, Slint), Something For Kate, The Sleepy Jackson and Big Heavy Stuff, to name a few. Simon Struthers has produced albums for artists such as Felicity Groom, Bob Evans, Apricot Rail and The Kill Devil Hills.\r\n\r\nAfter a lengthy absence from the Australian music scene, Mukaizake are set to release <em>Unknown Knowns</em>, the stunning follow up to their highly acclaimed 2003 album <em>Mapping the Static</em>. The band combines intricate, dynamic guitar structures, borrowing heavily from math-inspired indie rock, with highly accessible song structures and strong melodic vocals. Their songs feature organic, reactive playing, with a depth and subtlety that is revealed on repeat listens.\r\n\r\nThe recording for <em>Unknown Knowns</em> began back in 2004, when the band set aside a long weekend to lay down basic tracks. Soon after this initial recording, members of the band relocated to different cities across Australia, putting the band on temporary hiatus. The songs have since evolved, with the band utilising Forensic Audio, Simon’s recording studio, to record and re-work the songs over time, with the final mixes finally finished mid-2009.\r\n\r\nThe extended production and recording process gave the band time to fully realise the awesome potential of the songs. As a result, the six track mini-album is an inspired marriage of melody and composition, all held together by extraordinary musicianship.\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=mukaizake-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=mukaizake-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-Mukaizake_Unknown_Knowns_US.pdf\"><em>Unknown Knowns</em> US and Worldwide Digital Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Mukaizake_Single.pdf\">‘The Yeah Conditioner’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Mukaizake_Signing.pdf\">Mukaizake Sign to Hidden Shoal Recordings</a>\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]\r\n<h3>Artist Photos</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"2\" ids=\"9061,9062\"]\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]\r\n<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/9gV6yyJIUiI?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\nMukaizake\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

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.[/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 track sits as a wonderful companion piece to the album, as recognised melodies unfurl, cloaked in new guises.

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.[/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&nbsp;\r\n\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>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-Antonymes_meets_Slow_Dancing_Society.pdf\">EP </a> <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> <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\"]\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/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.

The album sees My Majestic Star merge weightless daydream pop with droning shoegaze and even a smattering of slowcore. <em> Haven\'t Got It In Me</em>\" expands upon the immersive and dynamic soundscapes of previous My Majestic Star releases with its lush and subtle songcraft, and for the first time features the stunning vocals of the bands cellist, Miriam Braun, alongside Chris Masons distinctively dreamy tones.

Including the stunning single ‘and having a reason why’, which features Chris Mason’s gorgeous reverb-soaked vocals for the first time on a My Majestic Star release, <em>Too Late, The Day</em> is deliberately non-literal – it doesn’t so much tell a story, but rather provides a bed within which to tell your own. It is the soundtrack to a waking fiction, a soft-focus reverie. While so many albums in this area deliberately evoke wide-open vistas and apocalyptic atmospheres, <em>Too Late, The Day</em> is more of an exercise in intimacy and engagement.\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Fining</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 307px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1487833995/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://mymajesticstar.bandcamp.com/album/fining\">Fining by My Majestic Star</a></iframe>\r\n\r\nFebruary 2007\r\n<div></div>\r\nOn this wonderful follow up EP to <em>Ideas are the Answer</em>, My Majestic Star have produced a work that is at once luscious and lonely.

A patchwork of light and shade where shades of ambience flow into moments of shoegazing post rock. No manifesto, no thesis, no all-encompassing mantra. A beautiful layered weaving of guitars and samplers.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]\r\n<h3>Biography</h3>\r\nMy Majestic Star began as a solo recording project for Perth artist Chris Mason (<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/chris-mason/\">Chris Mason Implosion</a>, <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/glassacre/\">Glassacre</a>). The motivation was to experiment with guitars, samplers and keyboards to create music that evolved naturally of its own volition. With a background in, and love for, shoegaze and post-rock, the result was a melding of fuzzed-out ambience and shimmering, haunting melodies, which culminated in the release of the first My Majestic Star album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=14\"><em>Ideas Are the Answer</em></a>. Recorded entirely by Mason, the album is a collection of tracks meant to evoke the listener’s own interpretations, resulting in music of a non-narrative nature that nevertheless seeks to tell a story or, more accurately, allow the listener to create their own. The follow-up EP <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=32\"><em>Fining</em></a> continued this ethic but also introduced pop elements into the mix.\r\n\r\nWith the recent release of the new album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=79\"><em>Too Late, The Day</em></a>, My Majestic Star has taken the next step and evolved into a live act. With the addition of friends who also happen to be ridiculously talented musicians – Miriam Braun (Tragic Delicate), Stuart Medley (Benji, Fur Versions, <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/holding-pattern/\">Motor Eye</a>) and Jamie Hamilton (PB, M-16’s) – My Majestic Star live is more raw, urgent and self-evolving than the recorded material. The purpose is to not simply play the songs as they have been recorded but to adapt them to a live environment – to allow them to take on a life of their own and develop with each performance.\r\n\r\nMy Majestic Star exists for a listener to create their own path in the music, to take what they hear and relate it to themselves, to create their own stories and come to their own conclusions.

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. <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>[/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\"]\r\n<h3>Discography</h3>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>We Don\'t Look Back For Very Long (with Slow Dancing Society)</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<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>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<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.

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.[/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. 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.

Including the stunning single ‘and having a reason why’, which features Chris Mason’s gorgeous reverb-soaked vocals for the first time on a My Majestic Star release, <em>Too Late, The Day</em> is deliberately non-literal – it doesn’t so much tell a story, but rather provides a bed within which to tell your own. It is the soundtrack to a waking fiction, a soft-focus reverie.

The motivation was to experiment with guitars, samplers and keyboards to create music that evolved naturally of its own volition. With a background in, and love for, shoegaze and post-rock, the result was a melding of fuzzed-out ambience and shimmering, haunting melodies, which culminated in the release of the first My Majestic Star album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=14\"><em>Ideas Are the Answer</em></a>. Recorded entirely by Mason, the album is a collection of tracks meant to evoke the listener’s own interpretations, resulting in music of a non-narrative nature that nevertheless seeks to tell a story or, more accurately, allow the listener to create their own. The follow-up EP <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=32\"><em>Fining</em></a> continued this ethic but also introduced pop elements into the mix.</p><p>With the recent release of the new album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=79\"><em>Too Late, The Day</em></a>, My Majestic Star has taken the next step and evolved into a live act. With the addition of friends who also happen to be ridiculously talented musicians – Miriam Braun (Tragic Delicate), Stuart Medley (Benji, Fur Versions, <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/holding-pattern/\">Motor Eye</a>) and Jamie Hamilton (PB, M-16’s) – My Majestic Star live is more raw, urgent and self-evolving than the recorded material. The purpose is to not simply play the songs as they have been recorded but to adapt them to a live environment – to allow them to take on a life of their own and develop with each performance.</p><p>My Majestic Star exists for a listener to create their own path in the music, to take what they hear and relate it to themselves, to create their own stories and come to their own conclusions. It may be wrong; it doesn’t matter. Listen and decide for yourself.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<h3>News</h3>[catlist name=my-majestic-star-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=my-majestic-star-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-My_Majestic_Star-I%20Havent_Got_It_In_Me.pdf\">My Majestic Star <em>I Haven’t Got It In Me</em> Album Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-My_Majestic_Star-Crampling.pdf\">My Majestic Star ‘Crampling’ Single Release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-My_Majetsic_Star_Too_Late_The_Day_Album.pdf\">My Majestic Star <em>Too Late, The Day</em> Album release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-My_Majestic_Star_Single_Release.pdf\">My Majestic Star ‘and having a reason why’ single release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-My_Majestic_Star_EP_Release.pdf\">My Majestic Star Fining EP release</a></p><p><a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release_2_May.pdf\">Label launch, Wayne Harriss “Aerospace” release and My Majestic Star “Ideas Are The Answer” release</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p>[gallery ids=\"9069,9070,9071\"]<p><br /> [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/kz3lzvLfI-g?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p><p><iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/BzkpUdLRUMQ?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>My Majestic Star\'s music is  available for licensing (master & sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.

Across almost 30 minutes, Antonymes marries SDS’s glistening atmospheres to his own trademark ambient neo-classical minimalism, creating a completely mesmerising hybrid.</p>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>Lost In Waves of Light</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 600px; height: 200px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3184595053/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://antonymes.bandcamp.com/album/lost-in-waves-of-light\">Lost In Waves Of Light by Antonymes</a></iframe></p>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<p>Created from elements lifted off Antonyme’s critically acclaimed album <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Licence To Interpret Dreams</span>, ‘Lost In Waves Of Light’ is a deftly crafted sonic and melodic patchwork. 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. Antonymes new album <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Licence To Interpret Dreams</span> has been met with universal acclaim since its release in April. 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.</p>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h4>The Licence To Interpret Dreams</h4>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 600px; height: 550px;\" src=\"http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1679006704/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http://antonymes.bandcamp.com/album/the-licence-to-interpret-dreams\">The Licence To Interpret Dreams by Antonymes</a></iframe></p>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Licence To Interpret Dreams</span> is the Hidden Shoal debut release by neo-classical/minimal ambient artist Antonymes. 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.[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Bio\"]<h3>Biography</h3><p>My Majestic Star began as a solo recording project for Perth artist Chris Mason (<a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/chris-mason/\">Chris Mason Implosion</a>, <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/glassacre/\">Glassacre</a>). The motivation was to experiment with guitars, samplers and keyboards to create music that evolved naturally of its own volition. With a background in, and love for, shoegaze and post-rock, the result was a melding of fuzzed-out ambience and shimmering, haunting melodies, which culminated in the release of the first My Majestic Star album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=14\"><em>Ideas Are the Answer</em></a>. Recorded entirely by Mason, the album is a collection of tracks meant to evoke the listener’s own interpretations, resulting in music of a non-narrative nature that nevertheless seeks to tell a story or, more accurately, allow the listener to create their own. The follow-up EP <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=32\"><em>Fining</em></a> continued this ethic but also introduced pop elements into the mix.</p><p>With the recent release of the new album <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=79\"><em>Too Late, The Day</em></a>, My Majestic Star has taken the next step and evolved into a live act. With the addition of friends who also happen to be ridiculously talented musicians – Miriam Braun (Tragic Delicate), Stuart Medley (Benji, Fur Versions, <a href=\"http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/holding-pattern/\">Motor Eye</a>) and Jamie Hamilton (PB, M-16’s) – My Majestic Star live is more raw, urgent and self-evolving than the recorded material. The purpose is to not simply play the songs as they have been recorded but to adapt them to a live environment – to allow them to take on a life of their own and develop with each performance.</p><p>My Majestic Star exists for a listener to create their own path in the music, to take what they hear and relate it to themselves, to create their own stories and come to their own conclusions. It may be wrong; it doesn’t matter. Listen and decide for yourself.</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"News\"]<h3>News</h3>[catlist name=my-majestic-star-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=my-majestic-star-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>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-My_Majestic_Star-I%20Havent_Got_It_In_Me.pdf\">My Majestic Star <em>I Haven’t Got It In Me</em> Album Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-My_Majestic_Star-Crampling.pdf\">My Majestic Star ‘Crampling’ Single Release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-My_Majetsic_Star_Too_Late_The_Day_Album.pdf\">My Majestic Star <em>Too Late, The Day</em> Album release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-My_Majestic_Star_Single_Release.pdf\">My Majestic Star ‘and having a reason why’ single release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release-My_Majestic_Star_EP_Release.pdf\">My Majestic Star Fining EP release</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"../../publicity/press-releases/HSR_Press_Release_2_May.pdf\">Label launch, Wayne Harriss “Aerospace” release and My Majestic Star “Ideas Are The Answer” release</a>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Gallery\"]<h3>Artist Photos</h3><p> </p><p>[gallery ids=\"9069,9070,9071\"]</p>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Video\"]<h3>Music Videos</h3>\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/kz3lzvLfI-g?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\r\n\r\n<iframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/BzkpUdLRUMQ?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=\"Licensing\"]<h3>Licensing</h3><p>My Majestic Star\'s music is  available for licensing (master &amp; sync cleared) through Hidden Shoal.
