Steve Brand – Trust and Remember [AOREP006]

Steve Brand“Trust and Remember” is a 24 minute ambient soundscape woven from keyboard, voice and processed guitar sounds, created at The Treehouse by Steve Brand in May of 2013, exclusively for the AlterOrbe Woomh Series. Thanks to Ran Kilrian for his interest and support and to all the artists of the AlteraOrbe label.

The track “Trust and Remember” began as a phrase that I’ve heard in my mind over and over again for years. This phrase would come up in times of apparent uncertainty, change and upheaval. I would often ask this soundless voice…trust what? Remember what? Even though I could not rationally understand the words, I felt their power and relevance in my gut. I knew without question that they constituted a powerful answer to everything I am and was experiencing.

My current understanding of this mindful directive is this… For me, trusting in this sense means knowing that even though I may not be able to see what’s ahead, even if it seems unlikely or uncertain that a way or means is going to present itself, there always has been a path in the past, so why shouldn’t there be one waiting and forming for me at this time…and the next time and the next. It also means trusting my own creativity, integrity, sovereignty and native abilities, my own sense of timing and appropriateness. More simply, trusting that I will know what to do when it’s most needed in the most appropriate way.

Trusting that “making it up as I go along” is a legitimate way of being in the world, although we are often taught otherwise. Remembering, the second half of this phrase, has also become a powerful concept for me. Not so much remembering facts or past events, although those can also be powerful tools. Remembering, in this context, is less a mental process and more in the realm of feeling. Remembering how it felt to be innocent, trusting, seated in my own power, my own passion, and what it felt like to bring these into effect I my life, without worry or fear. How did that feel? What was the result? How can I create or access that feeling for myself now? I often “get” these sorts of phrases running through my mind like a leader at the bottom of a news screen. I have learned to trust and remember them…by heart.

All music composed, performed, recorded and mixed by Steve Brand, 2013. Mastered by Steve Brand.

Tools: analogic & digital synthesizers and electric guitar.

Cover art layout by Ran Kirlian, pictures by Steve Brand.
Released June 29, 2013

Vauxia Errante – Primigenia [AOR0015]

PrimigeniaPrimigenia is the new album by Vauxia Errante, a journey far beyond his previous full lenght masterwork Cambrian Spirits. Primigenia explores a much darker and organic side of Vauxia’s music with a high pressence of drones, experimental sounds and slow evolutions in search of a deep meditative state on the listener. This new album presents 5 sonic explorations full of complex textures, drifting soundworlds and highly processed field recordings forming a dense atmosphere between alien landscapes and underground flavours. The album, recorded during 2012 and 2013, features Ran Kirlian on synths and voices on two tracks as well as on mixing and mastering. Cover art and pictures also by Ran Kirlian.

His creative process combines electronics, voices, lo-fi noises and field recordings in a highly deconstructive research. Darkness, cavernous and underground are words that comes to mind after listening to Vauxia Errante textures and sonic experiments.

Isidro Castro – Flight Paths Vol 1 [AOR0014]

Isidro CastroFlight Paths Vol 1 represents the first volume of an awesome trilogy full of space soundworlds and complex sequences in a impressive demostration of natural creativity. Fans of Tangerine Dream, Redshift and Steve Roach’s Empetus & Stormwarning styles will be highly pleased with this great album.

In words of Isidro: «Flightpath is a serie of volumes whose thought stems from the great enthusiasm and admiration that I feel for the aviation and air navigation. To all those heroes who achieved and made possible the mythological dream of Icarus. From Wright brothers and all those who participated in this great odyssey to reach the big space adventure from legendary Muroc Air Base, the former Base Edwards, whose sacrifice is come until our days… Here is my small but significant musical contribution to the exemplary feat.

For all lovers of this great dream come true…»
