We’ve been sent some brilliant experimental ambient/drone music from Hibernate Records.
Austistici is David Newman, a Sheffield-based composer. His album Beneath Peaks is a sonic exploration of the Peak District, using samples he took when walking around the area. The result is a beautiful portrayal of nature, with hundreds of tiny details collectively creating an expansive and complete enitity that, to those who look closely, is teeming with life.
Stream and buy the album at Bandcamp.
The second is a collaborative EP between Matthew Collings and Dag Rosenqvist (Jasper TX). Both men are experimental, with layers of drums, voices and recordings to support their guitars. The release is much darker than Austistici, as perfectly demonstrated on ‘Precipice’ below, with ominously struck piano keys heralding fierce drums and unsettling drone.
Again, the EP can be bought from Bandcamp.
