TODAYS DISCOVERY – BIRDS OF PASSAGE
REVIEW REBLOG – Birds of Passage & I’ve Lost ~ I Was All You Are
What a Todays Discovery – Maybe it’s the way I’m feeling this afternoon but the electroacoustic ambience of Alicia Merz aka Birds of Passage, is quite a find….and yes I agree with ACL, it is like watching a film in extreme slow motion, a beautiful film at that.

The cover of I Was All You Are says it all: blinding sunshine, dried weeds, a woman walking alone. Alicia Merz (Birds of Passage) seems to have been raised in haziness, forever existing just a bit out of focus. When she sings of “sunny garden places”, it’s easy to picture her lying in a meadow, catching the clouds between her fingertips. On I Was All You Are, she also sings of water; the elements are beginning to coalesce.
I’ve Lost is a downbeat name for a recording artist, bearing poetic associations: it’s not you I’ve lost, but the world. The art of losing isn’t hard to master. The ambient settings of I’ve Lost are slow beyond slow; there’s no way to measure them, but 4 b.p.m. seems a reasonable estimate. Listening is like watching a film in slow motion, then filming it and watching that film in…

REVIEW REBLOG – Lyndsie Aguire – Clair Obscur
This is my Todays Discovery c/o and thanks to Yeah I Know it Sucks.
Artist: Lyndsie Aguire
title: Clair Obscur
keywords: ambient, electronic, field recordings, melodic, piano
label: Time Relesed Soundhttp://timereleasedsound.com/
reviewer: Willem van O.
I was thinking of you, dear visitor of YIKIS. I thought about how much you would like to check out music that you would like. I guess it’s a matter of tastes, so we can’t please everyone; but the release done by Lyndsie Alguire is something that you are free to check out so you will be able to see if the music fits you and your delicate tastes. Checking the album notes makes me aware that Lyndsie Alguire is from Canada and that she is specialized in composing piano works and soundscapes, but this release on its own is rather different to my ears.
It first starts with Lyndsie Alguire’s ‘I was dreaming of you’ which gives way to a dreamy construction that for some reason makes…

REVIEW REBLOG – Mark Lyken | Emma Dove ~ Mirror Lands (Deluxe Edition)
When I first came across Mirror Lands via A Closer Listen, I was struck by the sounds and images. Seems I still am and the release of the Deluxe Edition gives me another reason to revisit it.
Review courtesy to A Closer Listen.
One of our favorite field recording works of last year, Mark Lyken and Emma Dove‘s Mirror Lands, is about to get the deluxe treatment from Time Released Sound. Those who missed it last time will have another shot this Sunday! To celebrate the re-release, we’ve slightly edited our initial review to reflect the new edition.
We last encountered Mark Lyken and Emma Dove with their installation-based EP and video The Terrestrial Sea. Their new work expands on that prior release and continues an investigation of the sonic and visual properties of Scotland’s Black Isle. Time Released Sound is presenting the work in two versions: a regular and a deluxe edition. Both editions include the soundtrack and a link to the film, while the deluxe edition includes additional ephemera (shown above): vintage prints, maps and pages from travel books, all honoring the location of the film.
The film is…
