DJ RESPONSES

A truly inspiring release. Sonanaut's newest album, "Sinking Upwards" is without question one of the best albums I have heard all year.
I have said many times before that not too many artists can really tap into that euphoric nerve center where you say.."Yeah thats it!"
But "Sinking Upwards" does just that. The mix of lush ambient echoing rhythms added with edginess is supreme.
This Cd is full of deep sensual grooves that probe and activate all the emotional centers of the listener's brain from start to finish. Each track seems to lure you on deeper into the musical journey which is often hypnotic yet the fact that Sonanaut mixes it up with funky grooves- bringing the tempo up just a little - never gives the listener a chance to get bored.
Simply put.. this is a bad-azz release.
What fantastic note to end the year on!!
Dub Ninja - SUBSONIC TEMPLE

I just listened to the album on your website. This is some of the freshest stuff I’ve heard in a long time.
Cameron - AMBIENT.US RADIO

Wow, just listened to some tracks at CDbaby and it sounds really good! I'd love to add you in to my playlist.
Eli - DEEP HOUSE NYC

It's a wonderful disc. You have a really nice chilled vibe to your work that I totally enjoyed
Rik - AMBIENT PING RADIO

Your music is brilliant on many levels. I have always loved the moodier side of music and I found your ambient material to suit my tastes
Jeremy - NOCTURNE

Just listened to your new album, lovely stuff! There are a few tracks (Reasons, From Now On, to name 2) that I could play list over the coming months on Moving Through Space.
Atombob - MOVING THROUGH SPACE

I've been listening to your tracks this week on my walks at lunchtime. A number of the tracks really strike me as great additions to a downtempo playlist, my favorites being: Judith's Way, Carbon, Within This City, The Twins and (edging into ambient) From Now On ... but really, they're all quite impressive. It will be a delight to feature them on the BeatConscious stream.
MadameFLY - MADAME FLY'S NIGHTLIFE




REVIEWS

Sonanaut's talent is in his mixology of sound - certainly there is a thread of similarity that weaves through all the cuts on the record, however within that established space he bounces in every direction and every launch is delivered with convincing meaning in this exceptional instrumental collection.

Wonderful down-tempo aural landscapes

I moved to New York from Europe at the start of 2005. I’m a recording engineer and media music writer, but for a long time I’ve had it on my heart to make a commercial album. Coming to the US and starting over, I had more time to think, I suppose as now I had a lot less in the way of obligations and commitments. Walking around New York I became aware of all the things I think and feel every day. especially in a large modern city with so many different people and particularly in a city like New York with people from surely every part of the world. As I walked and looked at all around me I became aware of some of my feelings, and I tried to be as honest as possible about them to myself, which I don’t always find easy. Some of these surprised me, some shocked me, some I knew well and some I couldn’t even really put a name to. Anger, doubt, joy, longing, prejudice, fear, insecurity, sadness, awe, empathy, feeling overwhelmed, desire, superiority, inferiority. I felt rich, I felt poor; I felt tall, I felt short; I felt unwanted, I felt at home.

As I experienced these feelings and others that are harder to identify, I felt that there’s no way that I can express them all verbally. Even if I had a friend or partner that would listen to me for hours every evening, there probably just wouldn’t be the time to express to them all that I’d felt in that one day or even to be able to express most of it in a way that someone else can understand. And this is what most gets to me. This area of emotion and feeling that doesn’t seems to have a way of being expressed. I turned to what I know, music, and I decided to assemble an album which in some way helps me articulate and explore some of these feelings.

For me its a ‘lights off’ album. It’s really a soundtrack album, but the film is the listeners film, and the music will mean many different things to different people. I love that side of music (especially music without lyrics), that it can be ambiguous. I don’t always need music to tell me how to feel. Sometimes I just like to make my own mind up and figure it out for myself. And sometimes the same piece of music can mean different things at different times. The thing I do know though, is that it’s difficult for me not to have some sort of emotional response when I listen to music, whatever that music is. That’s the nature of it, and perhaps why we love music much. Some of the tracks on the album have strong identities for me which I could put into words and with others I feel strong emotions but I’m really not quite sure what those emotions are. The music of 'Sinking Upwards’ is mostly ‘open’. If you have any thoughts whilst listening and you’d like to share them, it would be great if you’d post them on the site.

On the CD the tracks crossfade into each other so it's one listening experience without breaks.

The compilation track has excerpts of 5 tracks from the album. Every couple of weeks we'll put up another compilation with 5 different tracks.

If you want to 'add' a track to your profile that's not on the MySpace player let me know and I'll send you the link.

Simon

Children wiping tears in their mother’s arms
They don’t know...
While children laugh in tears in their mother’s cars
They don’t know...

Different places in the world
With different ways of come and go

See those faces, they don’t see it
There’s no point in living with no feeling
Where’s their tribe now?
Where’s their God?
Their emotions are just freeze, they are so cold...



From the theme "See those faces" by Bitewing

Different countries, different beliefs, different opportunities, different colours and though we're all connected in the same beautiful energy that envolves the universe...

We're all the same... and we're all special...
Have a beautiful week...
