Chromosphere "Spectral Omissions"
Chromosphere is the solo project of Kris Helstrom, an alumnus of Digital Poodle and Kinder Atom. Chromosphere’s third full-length album, Spectral Omissions mostly discards beats, in favour of highly textured washes of sound. The restrained compositions feature layers of drones sans any rhythm, save perhaps a pulse to assure the listener that the music is indeed alive.

Heiki "Sauna Porch Recordings Co"
Sauna Porch Recordings Co. is the latest release by Toronto electronic music scene veteran Heiki. It’s a collection of new music entirely composed and recorded on the porch of the rustic sauna cabin his father designed and built in Georgian Bay over 35 years ago.Heiki made these recordings by creating a live, chilled soundtrack first, then sitting back and absorbing the Georgian Bay lake view and natural surroundings for inspiration. Occasionally he would set up a microphone, record, and then process the natural sounds of the surroundings – the wind, the birds, the rustling of leaves in the wind, people swimming, or motorboats and canoes passing by. Most of the initial music was quickly recorded as loops in the morning then slowly built up over the course of a day. Songs were then revisited, treated, layered and re-built over the course of a few weeks (or years, in some cases). Washes of sound were created by processing the field recordings then layering them with synthesizer tones and sequences, creating a fusion of natural and synthesized resonances. Last updated 11/07/12

"Climate Adaptive Capacity" by naw
"Climate Adaptive Capacity" is on sale for only $12.00CAN plus $3 shipping anywhere in the world!

naw "Climate Adaptive Capacity"
climate adaptive capacity is another foray into the psyche of naw’s abstract interpretations of the world we live in. As in the past naw draws on his continued inspiration of the sound ecology of cities, places and spaces he encounters on a daily basis. For this album naw explores the recent hot topic of climate change and the associated changes, more importantly the adaptations surrounding these climate changes. Exploring both the planets and human adaptations from simple observations of ground frost changes to more complex lifestyle changes being made in order to continue living on earth to the more morbid thought of an earth that we can no longer inhabit.
