Hypnos Recordings is an independent record label specializing in music that could be described as ambient, experimental or minimal. Located in Portland, Oregon, USA, Hypnos was founded in 1996 and has grown into one of the world's foremost outlets for sounds of this type.
Anton Corbijn on Brian Eno : “Brian was recording in Amsterdam earlier this year. We had a meal one night and I promised to visit him in the studio next day and take a photo. I couldn’t believe where I found him. It was like the film Delicatessen -- some derelict basement, in an abandoned part of the harbour, in a soon-to-be-demolished house. The most basic 'studio' I had ever been in. And he was all by himself!
“He was as happy as Larry - had a few instruments lying around and was singing over the sounds he had just created, then proudly played me some results. And it was so typical of Brian wherever he is, he just makes it work for himself. That is the thing I learned from him over the years, that often in life you are confronted by a fair amount of possibilities and the best thing you can do is just go for one with a pretty quick decision and then make that particular choice work for you. It takes you to interesting places with surprising results and I try to practise it daily.”
I think that this last thought is one of the most useful that I've ever seen in making music..
Hope that all is well with you - Best wishes as always - Les
VETVEI, V07, CD, Ltd.484, November.09 Made in Russia, Yaroslavl
Vetvei label presented its first CD release, a collaboration of two congenial projects dedicated to the Symbols of Creative Roration. A retrospective journey by the bird through smells of melting herb songs and contemplations of the mysteries of Life. They are flowed away by Water, from the Ice to the boundless lakes dancing in mosses. Following to the Forge of Earth, walking the dense forests, winds and marshes, meeting the Heart Guardians. All the cycles of nature follow each other, Fire goes to Water and Earth goes to Heaven. Cosmos swaddle the birds flying toward dawn. All invocations in the name of Life. Many praising voices of people and animals merged into a rhythm that glorify the Natural Order, eternal and endless. Field recorgings, woodwinds, strings, percussions and drums, voices, tape noises and electronics was used in this work.They're all merged into a single timeless canvas. Spirit of every living thing awakening runs through it. An atmosphere of Ritual crossed with cosmic primordial Drone Ambient. One of the important parts of this release is design - 7"EP 6-panel cardboard envelope covered with the signs of Vetvei. Standing in awe of Majesty and experience of true Beauty. Tradition, vibrations for a New Cycle.

Final part of two-piece opus from L.A.D.O is out now on Vetvei! CD-R contains best fragments of artists night performance, as heard by guests of annual forest open-air festival Systo Togethering 2007. Album starts with sounds of body moving into forest – human breathes, moves and hears approaching drone and rustles. Lazy sun sets and inner space of sleep rise. L.A.D.O blindfolds the listener and leads him..her into the deep caverns and shallow waters. Listener follows the pulse of branches and joins procession of glowworms and fireflies to find his..her inner space. Speaking of style – second part of series is still a trademark psychedelic drone ambient canvas embroided with analog and digital soaring sounds, sometimes turning into undanceable experimental trance with radio signals and shamanic songs. Evgeniy Savenko uses loops, vinyl records, musique concrete and voice to create his well-known frost-tinged drones. In general the record done in Biosonar style – structured, colorful, complex and more bright than many well-known and average releases on drone scene. The cover in gold and gray waxed paper cover with herbal Vetvei-style artwork and 3 photos from the shores of Cold Spring.
This wonderful cd brings you gentle, floating, euphoric drones from Italy. Dimenticanza can be best translated as "Overview" And this is exactly what the drones do. My personal favorite of this cd is "Transparent Lids". This is a must to have for the fans of euphoric floating drones!! first run of 50 copies. Cds come in handpressed paper with pieces of flowers.

reviews:
Billboard Magazine - "SDB666SM is by far the newest album ever from Boston's So_So_Gutter, ushering in a new era of newness"
Rolling Stone - "When I first heard that So_So_Gutter was back in the studio with Dre, I couldn't believe my nuts. On first listen I could barely hear myself cry!"
Cat Fancy - "Go see this timeless family classic with a date, it is definitely this generation's "Jurassic Park", with a suprising new twist, think Batm....., Oh, its an album?, Shit, really? I just thought...., Fuck!!!! Really?, This is a goddamn cat magazine?!!"
Gestalt Part.2 is the new album by Andrea Scevola. Dark, meditative, simple...Listening by the dark or watching the horizon metropolitan burning of electric lights.
