The making of ‘Porcelain’ (Reprise Version) by Moby.

Hi! Here’s a video I made at home, showing how I originally wrote ‘porcelain’ and also how I re-created it with Jim James for Reprise.

‘Porcelain’ by Moby is taken from the new album ‘Reprise’ out May 28th on Deutsche Grammophon.

Mer de Revs II – Music For Insomniacs

A study in deliberately soothing textures designed to give the listener space to find stillness and collapse into rest – late night lullabies.

How To Disappear Completely presents Mer de Revs II, second installment of our experimental sleep music project. Almost eighty minutes of new music composed and recorded over twelve month period (a song per month), 2016/2017.

Recording this album we wanted to keep the same aesthetics – simple as possible, minimal amount of gear as possible. We hope you enjoy our latest release as much as we did recording it and we can’t thank you all enough for your support. As always, thanks for listening.

Two years on since his last outing on the label, ‘The Follower’, Axel Willner puts on his Field suit again to present his sixth full-length effort for Kompakt, ‘Infinite Moment’ – which sees him striding further across the deeper, richer rims of the hue cycle. In Willner’s own words, “the threshold of creating something new had to be broken”, as had been done with his past albums, including his acclaimed debut ‘From Here We Go Sublime’.
On this release in particular “stepping outside of the studio opened up fresh perspectives on the creation of new music” he confesses, and it was the opening cut, ‘Made of steel, made of stone’ – the first to be finished, that got him into the flux of things, making the “making of the rest of the album easier as I went”.

The Nightmare Artist – Zdzislaw Beksinski was a Polish horror painter that reacted to the horrors of war that he saw around him, and today we are going to take a look at his career.

Shukunegi is the name of the town at the southernmost tip of Sado City, Niigata Prefecture. It is a port town that developed as a port of kitamae-bune (cargo ships that sailed the Japan Sea during the Edo period) . This town reached its heyday from the late Edo period to the early Meiji period. In 2017, the rows of houses in Shukunegi are designated as a National Important Preservation Area for Traditional Buildings and Architecture.
