Pre Polar - Dreamscan

New track entitled "Dreamscan" by Pre Polar now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Presented here is "Dreamscan", a track from the collection called Atoms.  These tracks were recorded during the cold winter months of 2022-2023.  The tracks are all made from an old borrowed pedal steel and lap guitar through a variety of effects chains, making this album full of surprises and a lot of fun.  These are accompanied by a prepared piano, fretless bass and odd percussion instruments.

The output of this effort has a dark, haunting, ambient tone throughout.  Somewhat mysterious and dreamlike, yet approachable melodies and instrumentation.

Release date: Sep 21st, 2023

Hologram Fatigue - Star Grazer

New track entitled "Star Grazer" by Hologram Fatigue now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Hologram Fatigue was born from the ethereal energies of the great conjunction of 2020. As a band that thrives in the elements, their music has been crafted in various outdoor locations, giving rise to a sound that is as expansive as the universe itself. Their style embodies a duality, at moments it's as cold and desolate as the farthest reaches of space, and at others, it's as warm and encompassing as a star's embrace.

Their sound is a profound exploration of sci-fi and experimental themes, characterized by rich synth pads and angelic arpeggios that guide the listener through vast cosmic landscapes.

"Star Grazer" was released on Oct 26th, 2023 and is taken from the album "Mass Mask" where each track evolves, offering a unique auditory experience that ranges from rhythmic, meditative ballads like "Star Grazer" and "Shiver Giver," to the driving intensity of "Dial-up Delinquent" and "Hiving Times."

In a world where the very fabric of reality seems to be unraveling, Hologram Fatigue aims to be the auditory chronicler of this era. Their music is not just an escape but a mirror reflecting the phenomena of our collective 'Hologram Fatigue.' The band's profound connection to the cosmos is evident in every note, beckoning listeners to embark on a journey measured not in miles but in light-years.

Invitation to Experience

You are invited to immerse yourself in the unique sound of Hologram Fatigue. As we navigate these tumultuous times, their music offers a haven - a space to ponder, reflect, and feel. Join us in this auditory odyssey as we explore the vastness of space and the depths of our inner worlds.

Hologram Fatigue's music is available on all major streaming platforms.

"I First came to attention here when 'Belfastlive' reached out to me to do a live interview and demonstration video of me in 2021 Busking in Derry City Centre with my Handpan instrument which went Viral, becoming a hit video for Belfastlive; So they did an article about it. See below".

https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/derry-busker-who-stunned-locals-23290582

"After this I knew my music had an audience so I got hard to work writing an EP Combining Handpan, Didgeridoo, Guitar, Percussion and Chants. This was also covered by the local news".

Graziano Tassi - Early Morning, October

New track by Graziano Tassi entitled 'Early Morning, October' now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Graziano Tassi is a Paris-based composer and musician, who works with a cinematic mixture of found sounds, field recordings, verbal texts, and instrumental melodies.

Born in Milan, Graziano Tassi initially relocated to Paris where he played bass and guitar for Parisian bands such as Rovski and Nothing with Nothing.

Now reconnecting to his own original compositions, his musical aesthetic focuses attention on the mundanities of everyday life and the beauty of distressed situations.

'Early Morning, October' is taken from the album 'The end is where we started from'.

Graziano Tassi began the composition of “The end is where we started from” in October 2022 using field recordings he collected in the Mont Saint-Michel Bay and along the Brittany coastline of St. Malo. “The end is where we started from is a soundtrack to Autumn’s transition, where the vibrant activity of summer shifts in the direction of winter’s slumber. There is a shedding, a letting go that occurs, before rest, rejuvenation, and reimagining can occur.” - Graziano Tassi

The ten tracks of the album reflect an introspective and meditational atmosphere, through field recordings, found sounds, electronic and organic instruments, creating experimental oneiric soundscapes and eerie minimalistic melodies that lure us into a transitional space.

The end is where we started from song list:

1. The Door We Never Opened
2. Early Morning, October
3. Windy Rooms
4. Chrysanthemums
5. Voices From and Empty Apartment
6. On a Cliff
7. Northern Moors
8. Autumn on a Solitary Beach
9. Intervals
10. The End is Where We Started From
 
All songs composed, played, mixed, and mastered by Graziano Tassi

Keith Richie - V Feeling

Track by Keith Richie entitled 'V Feeling' now featuring on MPR Ambient.

 

 

Acclaimed ambient electronic composer, Keith Richie, proudly presents his track "V Feeling" – a homage to the late, great Vangelis – set to resonate through the soundscapes of the modern ambient music scene. Hailing from Richie's award-winning album "Ambient Highways," this track is more than just music; it’s an experience – and one that is deeply personal to Richie.

Embarking on a musical voyage through his album "Ambient Highways," Keith Richie unravels a sonorous tale of self-discovery and artistic revival. Having been prolific in his craft, Richie, in 2015, found himself at a creative impasse. With a passion that couldn't be subdued and an urgency to overcome his writer's block, he began to innovate and reinvent. The result was the birth of "Ambient Highways," an album inspired by Richie's sci-fi leanings, a journey through time, space, and the vast realms of human emotion. The track "V Feeling" stands as a testament to this transformative period. As listeners delve into its melodies, they are not just hearing a tune; they are invited to experience Richie's tribute to Vangelis, interwoven with the ethereal strands of the entire album. The song begins with a soft, gentle strum, reminiscent of yesteryears, which gradually morphs into an expansive, meditative state of healing – a feeling that Richie deeply yearned to express.

"V Feeling," while a standout piece, is a part of a larger narrative, one of introspection, innovation, and boundless imagination. As Richie pays his respects to the genius of Vangelis, he also beckons listeners to embark on a sonic journey like no other.
