Sound of Stillness - Moonlight Dreams

The latest release from Sound of Stillness entitled 'Moonlight Dreams' now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

“Sound of Stillness” features compositions by Anton Fauve, the London-based, in-house composer for Eden Films Ltd. 

Anton wrote the incidental music and songs for a number of the company’s short films, for example “You Can Trust Me”,“No Defence” and recently “Baby Bee’s Boot”, the animated short film which won the London Independent Film Award in September, 2023. He wrote the score to “Front Stage and Back”, a wonderful documentary-feature about a New York actor who despite appearing in over 140 TV shows and films is a complete unknown, and his song “Brand New Day”, written for a new TV series, was released by Lucy Thomas in mid-2023 and has had nearly 900,000 listens on YouTube. 

Alongside his commissioned work, Anton composes instrumental music and “Sound of Stillness” are those compositions that aim to calm stress, create well-being and peace of mind – an aid to sleep, meditation and a return to the beauty and healing of nature.

Sound of Stillness’ 4th EP, “Memories of Innocence”, has just been released and as the title suggests aims to capture the happiness and gentle nostalgia of our childhood; those magical moments where every day was an adventure and every experience was filled with wonder. It's a nostalgic journey that reminds us of the innocence and happiness that defines the early years of life, making it the perfect soundtrack for reliving cherished memories or simply embracing the joy of the present moment. 

“Moonlight Dreams” is the fifth track on the EP.

Prayash.io - Weightless

Latest track by Prayash.io entitled 'Weightless' now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

Released January 12th, 2024

In the words of Prayash himself:

"Hi! my name is Prayash. I'm a guitar nerd / fellow human currently living in California and making music in my bedroom. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my work, and I hope it takes you somewhere! I used to make music under the name 'Effulgence', but have since decided to go with my own name".

"A while back, my wife Pallavi and I were late into the night around a campfire, and I left my field recorder running to capture some of our conversations. There was a very poignant part of what she said that deeply resonated with me — and those precious few seconds of dialogue became a feeling I latched onto for months. I stripped the 10 second piece of the audio file which was littered with fire crackles, and imported it into a song I’d been stuck on for years. A song in which I was never able to decide what was the correct way to move forward, feeling totally hopeless. All the usual self-doubt we engage in, that piece of dialogue became the soul of what made this song special to me, and I re-worked it to be completely centered around the idea of this weight we carry around with us, and how to break free from it. This song is about that, and the feeling of liberating yourself from it".

'Cascade' was released on October 25th, 2022

In the words of BUOS:

"I'm a musician, born in Colombia, and residing in the United States, specifically Colorado. What I create is an attempted expression of my love for soothing melody, beautiful instrumentals, and solid rhythms, whether simple or complex. I try to pull inspiration from many genres with which I grew up, ranging from Heavy Metal, to 80's-themed, to even Salsa. My track "Delirium" is the first retro-inspired Synthwave song I've ever created, and the first to be fully produced, mixed, and mastered. It is influenced by artists like 'WICE' and 'Miami Nights 1984'. And I couldn't be prouder.

Though not everything I create in the future will be in the same vein, you can count on me to provide you with the sounds you need for a quiet night at home, or a long drive to destinations unknown. Go to Soundcloud to listen to songs I've created in the past or Bandcamp to download "Delirium" for yourself. I hope you like what I have to offer".
