Magnetic Vines – Quiet Old Shipwreck
(Spotify)

“Lo-fi acoustic sounds, echoing guitar strings with piano keys and a little trombone... all in thick ambient & drone layers of mist. In the output we have the lovely song -Quiet Old Shipwreck- by the magicians and sorcerers of the business -Magnetic Vines-.”

“Акустические звуки lo-fi, эхо гитарных струн и пиано, немного тромбона, всё это в густых слоях тумана из ambient & drone и на выходе мы имеем очаровательный трек -Quiet Old Shipwreck- от магов и чародеев своего дела -Magnetic Vines-.”

Layers of piano, acoustic guitar, and subtle synthesizers paint a serene portrait of an old shipwreck-- a meditation on loss and making peace with the past.

I Am Snow Angel – life breath
(Spotify)

“The perfection of simplicity from "Life breath" directly at your speakers. So etherial and elusive Until you realize that it's over. Like water flowing slowly in a small pond carrying leaves to an unknown direction. Respect for that true artist!”

-Nagamag.com

life breath is a textural, instrumental meditation on collective loss and rebirth. It is the second track on my forthcoming EP "elegy" (due out March 12, 2021). Fun additional fact: I am a sound designer for Ableton, the Germany-based electronic software/hardware company. I design midi instrument pre-sets for their digital audio workstation, Ableton Live. One of my recent creations is a midi pre-set in the "Drone Lab" sound pack (which was released alongside Ableton Live 11) called "lifebreath." I designed this drone-y sound as I was indulging in this instrumental meditation, and I wanted to share it with Ableton users and music creators around the world.

I AM SNOW ANGEL fuses digital and organic elements, creating a sound that is at once ethereal and earthy. The music is composed, performed, produced and engineered by recording artist and multi-instrumentalist Julie Kathryn. I AM SNOW ANGEL has been featured in MusicTech Magazine, TapeOp, American Songwriter, Magnetic Mag, Refinery 29, and many more for her “fluorescent beats and emotionally charged melodies” and “dedication to craft.” She is an imaginative and prolific producer, sound designer for Ableton, and co‐founder of Female Frequency, a musical collective dedicated to empowering women in the music industry. Her newest release, Elegy (due out March 12, 2021), is a creative meditation on our collective loss and rebirth.

Zachary Bruno – Emunah
(Spotify)

“-Emunah- is pure neo-classical minimalism. With repeated and slightly varied patterns, developing an attitude that is perceived by the ear right away. -Emunah- is a way to express the author's personality and the freedom of being.”

“-Emunah- это чистый неоклассический минимализм, паттерны которой повторяются и незначительно варьируются, создавая нужный настрой и максимально легко воспринимаемой на слух. -Emunah- это способ выразить авторскую индивидуальность и свободу бытия.”

-Nagamag.com

In August 2013, Zachary released his debut album, Before the Rain, which reached #37 on the New Age charts. Kathy Parsons, of MainlyPiano.com called the collection of original solo piano pieces “amazing music and an extraordinary beginning to a very promising career in music.” After being introduced to piano lessons at age 6, music composition almost instantly caught Zachary’s interest. And it wasn’t long before he was attempting to scribble down melodies and riffs onto homemade staff-paper. While composition came naturally to Zach, it took the constant encouragement of family and friends to finally persuade him to record his first album of his original compositions. Finally, after over 4 years of practicing, composing, and putting the final touches on the pieces, Zachary released his debut album of 12 original piano solos out into the world. The album would be titled, Before the Rain (2013). It did not take long before he saw an interest for his music, and a year later, he released his second album, Dawn Light (2014), which was promptly nominated and awarded 2015 Album of the Year by Whisperings Solo Piano Radio (2016). Zachary is currently working on his third solo piano album scheduled for release in late fall of 2018.

Sun Rain – Zenith
(Spotify)

“Contemplation of infinity, which is filled around our world. Feel like a bird flying over the water surface. Hear the vibration of the nearest land. Only you, your fantasies and new single -Zenith-, are diluting silence and its magnificence.”

“Созерцание бесконечности, которыми наполнен окружающий наш мир. Почувствуйте себя птицей пролетающей над водной гладью. Услышьте вибрацию ближайших берегов. Только вы, ваши фантазии и новый сингл -Zenith-, разбавляющий воцарившуюся тишину своим великолепием.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared with us few words about this song"

"This track was created after a free form recording session with friend and cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne. I recorded Raphael improvising for a couple hours in several different keys and styles and then compiled the recordings into a sample library. I then chopped and layered sections of the of the recordings to create a rich soundscape of strings and pads that float gently underneath bubbling arpeggios."

Jaap Mol – Here To Love
(Spotify)

“Ambient and neoclassical; the perfect union of two elements. This is the love of two hearts, sunsets and sunrises. Also the whisper of the morning dawn and the singing of the cicadas during evenings. -Here To Love- gives an unforgettable feeling.”

“Эмбиент и неоклассика - это идеальный союз двух стихий. Это любовь двух сердец, закаты и рассветы, шепот утреннего прибоя и пение цикад прохладными вечерами. -Here To Love- дарит незабываемое ощущение. ”

-Nagamag.com

The fundament for this track was a rather hateful speech by one of our angry world leaders which I sampled an tried to turn into something beautiful. The result is this peaceful piano piece, which is essentially a loop, supplemented by drifitng synths, haunting cello’s and guitar. We can turn hate into beauty. Because we’re all together in this world and we’re here to love.

Woulds – Cure
(Spotify)

“-Cure- can be called a model of cinematic ambient and drone. A thick, white mist like atmosphere, a strong, complex melody within the genre. Light touch of despair and wandering alone.”

“-Cure- можно смело назвать образцом кинематографического ambient и drone. Густая, словно белые слои тумана атмосфера, сильная, комплексная мелодия в рамках жанра. Лёгкий налёт отчаяния и блуждающего одиночества.”

“Elements of folk music, with the addition of acoustic, string instruments. Unusual, but extremely memorable vocal parties lead into a trance state. -Enamel- is an amazing, hypnotic beauty.”

Sun Rain – Moonwalk
(Spotify)

“The sound of a mechanical piano can be compared to the breathing of a person, and the vibration of string as the heartbeat. -Sun Rain- made his composition -Moonwalk- with warm layers of ambience, music that sounds alive! ”

“Звук механического пиано можно сравнить с дыханием человека, а вибрацию его струн за сердцебиение. -Sun Rain- разбавил свою композицию -Moonwalk- тёплыми слоями эмбиента, тем самым сделал её практический живой.”

-Nagamag.com

This song is inspired by an astronauts trip to space. It opens with a slow rise that signifies the anticipation before take off and grows into a wall of sound catapulting the listener gently through the earths atmosphere and into the weightlessness of space.
