We've got a very special release to kick off 2022 on the label.
A journey through the four seasons, "Movements of a Cloud" is the stunning new collaboration EP from Canadian sound sculptor Minimal Drone GRL and all round electronic powerhouse Belial Pelegrim. A pair of producers with their own unique and individual sonic footprints who together have created an aural voyage that lifts their respective sounds to new levels.
The nature sounds and floating ambient of Minimal Drone GRL are transported to a fresh world by the expert mood building and immersive atmospherics of Belial Pelegrim. Both artists are known for their ear to detail and intricate musicianship. When those skills are combined, it makes for something truly special. On this collaboration, both artists are in their element and breathe new life into familiar territory and in the process have created a cinematic, and at times orchestral, masterpiece.
Six tracks of transcendent, ambient odysseys that are underpinned by ascending synths, dramatic strings, textured field recordings and shamanic soundscapes.
"Movements of a Cloud" is musical storytelling for campfires in the mountains. Restful, organic, nocturnal, vast and mystical.
From the artists themselves...
"After collaborating together on previous releases, we thought it would be interesting to try something different for our next project. Our idea was to create a concept EP that takes the listener on a sonic journey through the changing seasons. To achieve this, we’ve blended ambient/sound-work, chamber music, field recordings, orchestral and cinematic soundscapes. To round the project off, we decided to include photos and artwork reflecting nature and the seasons."
Digital download comes with a bonus PDF booklet of high resolution artwork and other images that inspired the sounds alongside a seamless 30 minute mix of the EP.
