Ten Impressions for Piano and Strings
**Edition of 200 copies**Sean McCann on the release (January 2020): "Ten Impressions dates from the fall of 2010, when I moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles. I was contemplating starting Recital at this time, envisioning the first release to be a double-LP of my ambient, slow works. Amassing violin and piano fragments over the next months, I ended up with over four hours of recorded material. Well, then... I sat and looked at the files on my computer and lost all interest. An odd gapping per…
Impressioni Organizzate di Ansie Liquide CD
"Impressioni Organizzate di Ansie Liquide" is an immersive, languid realm, filled with elegant, poetic beauty, that bristle with unknown elements and the lingering potential of danger. Andrea Marutti and Carlo Giordani have created an album that simultaneously drowns the ear and fortifies it with breaths of fresh air. A remarkably sensitive reminder of the creative potentialities that rest at the heart of electroacoustic, concrete, and field recording based musics, doubling as a vision of their …
Impressioni Organizzate di Ansie Liquide (MiniCDr 3")
"This aquatic collaboration between these two italian artists (the ambient master and the field recordist) is the first part of a large body of work that will be fully released sooner or later..." - Jean-Marc Boucher"[...] Large chunks of field recordings are processed and, together with those who still have a more natural feeling, combined into a large, twenty-two-minute soundscape of drips, splashes and the uber-drone of what sounds like a submarine engine humming in the back. It is something …
Still
Limited 2LP, clear vinyl. Night Sea is honoured to present their first LP to the Silent Season family.

It was comprised of seven keyboard players Christine Schalle…

Tropical Syndroms
**100 copies** Tropical Syndroms is the second album by Thé Déluge, a.k.a. Vincent Caylet, also known as Cankun (Not Not Fun / Hands in the Dark). Like his debut album Forest Structures (Umor Rex, 2017), this new installment is an amalgam of sounds generated through multiple devices and analog synthesizers, loops and layers creating an incredible mix of textures, sounds that can almost be touched.In Caylet’s work, there is always a certain familiarity in the tones, there is an implicit nature pr…
The Beginning of Nothing
**100 copies** In just a few years and with a handful of releases, the Canadian producer better known as Yves Malone has earned himself a reputation. In The Beginning of Nothing he continues working with many layers of analog synths and a keen sense of drum machines to create atmospheres and textures extracted from late twentieth-century collective fears of a dystopian future. Created as a sort of score to an internal elegy, Yves Malone creates soundtracks of the daily fear, regret, and resignat…

Selected Ambient Works Volume II
Extravagantly opaque, willfully vaporous - Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II, released by the estimable British label Warp Records in 1994, rejuvenated ambient music for the Internet Age that was just dawning. In the United States, it was Richard D. James's first full length on Sire Records (home to Madonna and Depeche Mode) under the moniker Aphex Twin; Sire helped usher him in as a major force in music, electronic or otherwise.Faithful to Brian Eno's definition of ambient music, Se…

Future Predictions
**Limited edition, custom-made clamshell box, 4xCDs in pocket sleeves, and 16-page booklet** Will Long’s Celer project returns with an expansive 4CD set, a beautiful rendering of field recordings and foley sounds in gaseous suspension, recorded to high quality recycled reel-to-reel tape and providing us with some much needed mental solace right now. As opposed to the gauzy reflectiveness of last year’s 'Memory Repetitions’ for Smalltown Supersound, 'Future Predictions’ was instead intended as a…
Roche
**Limited Edition of 300** We are both pleased and proud to be releasing a new album by Mayerling, “Roche”. More than five years have gone by since we collaborated with the talented musician behind the project, Sylvain Bombled - who, like HITD itself, hails from Besançon, France - and put out his first brilliant album “Cut up”. It’s more electronic and bold than the first album... less traditional, more adventurous. The guitar has given way to synths and other analogue sequencers. As for the vo…
Beyond Even (1992 - 2006)
Although they have sewn their names into the thread of rock history with their work with King Crimson, Roxy Music and production work ranging from Keith Tippett to U2, the three albums these boys have recorded together are equally important. It’s ironic that No Pussyfooting was withheld by Eno’s record company for two years, as they feared it would destroy his career. Its blend and textures of Eno’s electronics and Fripp’s treated guitars was as important to left-field music as Eno’s solo ambien…
