wodwowodwo I just melt when this album starts, and all my anxieties drift away. This album is a treasure.

Ryan Beautiful sounds representing life-altering changes we can feel in our heart and gut. A deep emotional state of nostalgia and profound melancholy shimmers throughout.

wc_helmets There's a calm beauty throughout this entire collection that's always punctuated by some sort of unsettling sound. Sometimes those sounds come more to the foreground, but this ambient here isn't you're clean cut, vst ambient. It's saturated with overtones and beauty. Great release.

About the release

anthéne | 'Transit'

[side A/tracks 1-4) - written and recorded by Brad Deschamps]

“The title ‘Transit’ immediately came to mind for this release as these pieces were recorded in the spring and early summer of 2019 while my wife, daughter and I were in the midst of a move. Some of the mixing and recording were actually done at my in-laws’ house - we stayed there for a week as our old house was listed for sale.

The idea of transit also came to mind in a more figurative way. I’ve felt things shift and priorities change with the arrival of my daughter over a year ago. I was on parental leave from work with a very different day-to-day life than I was used to. These 4 pieces were all recorded at a time when all of these things came together, and things really felt like they were in a constant change of flux”

James A. McDermid | 'Transition'

['Transition' (side B/tracks 5-9) - written and recorded by James A. McDermid]

"The tracks that make up ‘Transition’ were recorded between 2016 and 2019; a period where I experienced more adjustment and change in my life than ever before. Each piece of music represents a moment in the slow journey I’ve made from the person I was then, to the person I am now. These pieces were recorded in the wake of several difficult moments in my life. The main ones being the United Kingdom voting to leave the European Union; a short time after that, two members of my immediate family passed away, a few weeks apart.

Looking back, whilst the music exists because of the heartbreak and bittersweet nostalgia, it’s also deeply rooted in happiness; a lot of this - and the challenges I encountered trying to recalibrate my life - has since repaired itself.

‘Transition’ is a collection of diary entries that recalls the worst that life threw at me, to the searing joy of rejuvenation”

- James A. McDermid

A wonderful musical collection that shows the unity of the whole world and the support of Ukraine during the long war, which will undoubtedly end with the victory of Ukraine. And now the terrible numbers... Only according to official data as of today #russiaisaterroriststate killed 510 children in Ukraine, injured another 1141 children, kidnapped 19546 children. There are many more unofficial victims. And russia remains a member of the UN... desynkro303

we're all beside a wooded creek, laying on this silken mossy chord, listening as leaves tumble down in succession. the pond nearby catches each leaf and we sync our thoughts using the chain of ripples in the water. thanks a lot for this one. recommended for relaxation or when it just gets to be too much out there Ews Nsj
