SOUND_00 + LEFTERNA - Elementals: Collabs 2

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Winter-Light WIN 010 Release Year: 2017 Note: this album collects collaborative tracks from tiny CDR releases by these two ambient projects and gives them a new cohesion, frame and sound (all tracks were fully re-mastered) => 7 lengthy tracks of isolationistic ambience with a strong accent of using field recordings from nature, thus creating unusual moods and acoustics, not the standard dark ambient electronics... recommended ! Price (incl. 19% VAT): €13.00 More Info After a series of collaborative publications on multiple experimental labels, the duo of Toni Dimitrov (Sound_00) & Boban Ristevski (Lefterna) finds its 'Elementals: Collabs 2' conceptual release on Winter-Light. 'Elementals: Collabs 2' is an ambient/experimental release of deep drone contemplations and ambient exploration, good for deep meditative and learning sessions. 'Elementals' gathers together selected collaborative works from the artists Sound_00 + Lefterna. All tracks have previously been released separately on compilations from the labels Fall Into Void, Post Global Recordings, HNM Recordings, AOsmosis and Crna Zemlja. For this release on our Winter-Light label, the tracks have been completely remastered by Cruel Sound Works, adding a richer, more distinctive warm feel to each piece. Glass mastered CD comes in a 4-panel full colour digi pack. 7 tracks with a total running time of 77:23 mins. winter-light.bandcamp.com/album/elementals- collabs-2 "Quite some years ago, Sound_00, the musical project of Toni Dimitrov was an active force in the world of net labels and CDRs (this was before cassettes became hip again), but he disappeared for a while, for reasons I don’t know but I see his name popping up again and here he has seven pieces recorded in collaboration with Boban Ristevski, also known as Lefterna, and who, also many moons ago, wrote reviews for this rag. Apparently they have been working together for some time now, and released their work on compilations on such imprints as all Into Void, Post Global Recordings, HNM Recordings, AOsmosis and Crna Zemlja. Not that I heard any of these. This collection sees these pieces re-mastered by Cruel Sound Works, “adding a richer, more distinctive warm feel to each piece”. These are quite lengthy pieces of music, somewhere between seven and fifteen minutes, dealing with field recordings, processed and otherwise, and to which a bunch of electronics are added. There is a strong love for field recordings that contain a lot of water, rain, running taps or river streams; that sort of thing. By way of processing and adding effects and electronics it comes out as a deep wash of atmospheric drone music. I can’t say if these are now warmer than before, but they sound pretty much all right to these ears. There is the dash of reverb, set to a cavernous setting to suggest that spooky touch, which is something that you can find on all these releases, by this label, and in general with this kind of music. This is music that one should undergo and feel, rather than rationalize about. Like many of the other isolationist musicians it seems less about composing and more about letting sounds wander freely inside a bunch of sound effects but it becomes a very nice work indeed."
