about

In outer space, music does not exist. Only in a thin layer of atmosphere, wrapped around the planet earth, humans can live and breathe. With all their power and creativity, they have exploited and eradicated an unspeakable amount of fellow animal beings. As Arvo Pärt once put it: also with music, you can kill – because with music, you touch the medium of life, the air itself. In this sense, music is not condemned to express the inner life of homo sapiens.

Instead, humans are affected by music, because the material world, out of which music is born, is susceptible to suffering. Perhaps that would be the meaning of mono no aware – the compassion (aware) of beings. The question then is not: are they intelligent or not, can they speak or not – the fundamental question is: can they suffer? If the answer is yes, we are one with them. So instead of imprinting an image of ourselves in the air, music arises when the atmosphere is handled with care. If we succeed in that, maybe, we can be forgiven.

Requiem for a Dying Animal is the second album of Alexander Glück on Glacial Movements Records, after his debut in 2017, The Book of Wind.

After watching Phelios live on youtube, I see behind this artist, seriousness, work, professionalism and simplicity. I would classify this great work as FUTURE SPACE DARK AMBIENT, an album that in order to enjoy it to the fullest, you should audition with 20,000w of sound with ultra-bass speakers that will make your hair stand on end. You have fallen in love with me on this album Martin! luvft

In One Word
by Paul Jordan

In the music of Paul Jordan, digitally manipulated field recordings become striking electronic songs that feel eerie and surreal. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2020

Hypnotic ambient and drone music crests in the second track, which clocks in at a whopping 46 minutes. Mesmerizing from start to finish. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 25, 2023
