Mystified
As with most genres that have a prolonged existence, practitioners of the sound will begin to challenge the structures that create that genre. One of those challenges that often occur is that of the instrumentation chosen to create the work. This is the case with our featured release this month.
Bone Drones 5, by Mystified, is performed and recorded using only trombone as the sound source. Mystified, sometimes known as Thomas Park, has released several albums in this series redefining the trombone as a beautiful and quite capable dronal instrument.
Bone Drones 5 is the latest in the series of acoustic wind ambient drones by Mystified and is equally as compelling as the other four. In fact, all of these releases deserve mention in equal regards as they are all conceptually related, much like chapters in a book. With heavy digital processing, Thomas transforms the trombone tones into an expansive sound world of winds and drones that move at glacial speeds. Required Listening!
Composer, musician, programmer, provisional human being.
Dave Seidel, aka mysterybear, is a composer/performer based in southern New Hampshire who works with electronics in both live-improvised and composed idioms. Dave is a long-time guitarist and programmer which becomes evident when you hear the depth and power in his music. We are quite impressed with mysterybear's unique form of trance-inducing ambient and drone music, which is as meditative as it is relaxing.
Dave composes incredible soundscapes written with Csound that explores microtonal tunings, generative rhythms,
and improvised music without computers, keyboards (and sometimes without synths) that is often based on feedback systems. Programmers and command line composers will all want to take note of Dave's stunning compositions and sound designs.
All of mysterybear's music is available for free download under Creative Commons licenses. Watch for mysterybear's live set later this month!
A world of sounds awaits
Waiting World Records is a label establised in 2007 and owned and operated by Michael Peck. Many are familiar with the fascinating works by Michael and also his duo with Mark Mahoney, Mahoney & Peck. Originally the label served to release the works of these artists in collaborative and solo forms, but has since expanded to other artists as well.
Waiting World is quite a dynamic label. They release both physical and digital, free and paid, and ship globally. The label runs the gamut of styles and genres, though ambient is a structural staple. Michael says "WWR focues on, but is not limited to, music from the darker ambient/post-ambient genres, IDM, dark industrial, drone, and post-rock/doom music". And they do it well! Drop by Waiting World and explore this cutting-edge label!
