Ilia Panayotov I've no words but I had to write something to let you know how speechless I am.

Gal Leshem The ambient direction that Phaeleh is taking is very much to my liking.
Every time I listen to it , it takes me through a journey of different memories and emotions. Favorite track: Four.

Argamae This album takes you places. If you let it. I have long been a fan of atmospheric sound scapes. Either to use it as background music while reading or working creatively, or to use it actively to conjure up certain moods to support scenes in role-playing games. Phaeleh delivers on both accounts. Superb in breadth and quality.

GnomeSlice I haven't heard any of Phaeleh's ambient work before, and while it's not the style I was looking for, this is some pretty great stuff. You just need to be in the right mood to listen to it. Favorite track: Six.

Ian Livingstone Gorgeous textures and spacious soundscapes! This album makes for a very engaging, meditative listen. Favorite track: Two.

about

Phaeleh has always been highly regarded for his emotionally resonant atmospheres. Here he delivers a highly overdue beatless longplayer honed from found sound from the last 10 years, made on portable minidisc recorders, cameras, phones and anything else with a mic. Influences from Brian Eno, Aphex Twin and Global Communication seep through the cracks on his most uncompromising work to date. Here Phaeleh wears the Somnus genome on his sleeve ' For example Eleven is definitely informed by the work of Pierre Schaeffer, Jonty Harrison and Simon Atkinson I hope you can hear that'. The album also leans on the utilitarian use of his music, on how his fanbase use his music to soundtrack specific aspects of their lives from Child birth (we have the video evidence) to life celebrations:
"After the amazing feedback to the iD slumber sessions mix, and so many years of people saying they'd revise to it, sleep to it, get therapy to it, I thought it might be a nice idea to put together a collection of some of these tracks, which up to this point, were just for personal consumption."
Somnus is a mediative work for you to use to find a gap in pace to todays info cascade.

This album livens my mix of tracks without getting too busy, it's a nice compliment. I'll also throw a shout out for the track Falling In, from Dreaming Into Being, by Bluetech. One of my all time favorite tracks. It's not in my bandcamp collection, I got on iTunes yrs ago before dumping that. So good though I had to mention. image3
