Format: CD-R Label & Cat.Number: Mystery Sea MS55 Release Year: 2009 Note: lim. / numb. 100 copies with full-colour inkjet print cover Price (incl. 19% VAT): €12.00 More Info "UK sibylline sound artist Seasons (pre-din) is a self-effacing miracle... when I heard for the first time his debut ("Above the tides fold"), an indescribable thrill took hold of me... the elementality degree of his music, and the density of its distilled emotions seemed just unreal... a total experience, and a most precious encounter for sure... Thoroughly passionate about his creations, terribly human, Seasons (pre-din) exists in the permanent instant of "giving"... Most of his lovely & ultra ltd elaborate hand-made releases came out via his own imprint THY-REC ("Above the tides fold", "Har Habayit Be Yadeinu", "The Canopy Falls", "By the banks go through"...)...meticulously assembling the quintessence of crepuscular forest-tinted field recordings with dissolved instrumental passages (dulcimer, singing bowl...), he reaches for a mesmeric & unique potent brew, a constant flowing dronescape opening a multitude of new channels... What started as a discreet audio-journey for initiates has slowly turned into a small hype, mainly due to high interest shown by the Boomkat mail-order, and the Type label, which both praised copiously Seasons (pre-din)'s galvanic works, and also via some stimulating performances... Recent developments saw his sound getting sparser and more vivid, as it is now centred on piano and guitar infused orchestral loops with environmental sounds still percolating, but more subsidiary... a festival of sensitivity... For MS, Seasons (pre-din) remained faithful to his first emotions, outlining a flow of profuse & petrifying droning ramifications... Closed eyes Pale glowing firmament Your voice babbling through the stream Scattered leaves, cold humus, receding stones Your smile perched on the shadow of tangled trees A wind of rupture... Without a word, walking wild and astray Looking into your astral veins, a river within you... "Your Eyes the Stars and Your Hands the Sea" cries out an intimate loss, an aborted love transformed into an harrowing moment of exhilaration... an improbable symbolist landscape oozing mysteries of unspeakable beauty nestling in the ruts of silence, the folds of a lucid dream..."
