Out now!


KABELTON released his scary new EP on UK label Earth Monkey Productions.

It's beatless, but it's not ambient!


Listen and download:

Delighted to feature your song--"new dawn" stays in constant rotation on my mp3 player.

I do play chess, although inexpertly...if you're ever on FICS, then I'm "gurdonark" there.

"New Dawn" is one of the featured tracks on this month's NSI Podcast. Thanks for putting such great sounds in the Creative Commons.

Roberto! How you doing? Mote is simply beautiful. Captivating yet bizarrely isolating. Maybe it's because of that phaser effect on the synth but I pictured myself at dusk trapped in the control box under a pylonn in a big field all by myself... the best music always provokes thoughts and images, feelings and ideas, which obviously yours never fails to do. Well done me ol' chum! Let's put out a split album! I'm starting up a real label. And I want 4th Alternative. Much love and nachos my frrrrrrriend! Winter has swallowed me! xxxxxxxx

Alex Young's "Milieu" had a nice write up on "New Dawn" on May 17.
http://milieu.alexyoung.org/

I think that of the pieces, "New Dawn" itself is my favorite.

Thanks for your kind words. It's good to see ambient artists putting ideas and sounds out into the Creative Commons ether.

Hi there:

I downloaded "New Dawn" into my mp3 player last night after reading a favorable review of it on a webzine.

It's a good listen--lots of interesting sounds and samples combined.

It's good of you to release such interesting music into the Creative Commons.

Mote is fantastic

Aug 31 2006 7:27 PM

Aww... I could listen to New Dawn and Mote all day. I particularly enjoy lying down, eyes closed, drifting off and letting those songs flow over me. Brilliant stuff!

order for him to focus on his upcoming tour and new CD to be released in
late fall 2006. His crew would like to thank you on his behalf for adding
his interest to your page.Special thanks for your patience and understanding! ;-) Captain M

Ah! Sounds nice man! What's the new house like? Can I come round? Hahaha! Can I ask you a question?? What soundcard/audio interface do you use? My soundcard now is fucked and I am thinking of investing in the new MOTU Ultralite firewire interface...
