| Ananta - Inside My Room, Watching The Rain [rain018] - Ananta
"One day I was sitting in my room, watching the rain through the window. It was late afternoon, quite dark around. The drops were hitting the glass from the outside - for me it was only a rumbling. I also heard a subtle drone but I couldn't think a way where it comes from. There should be only silence around but I still heard these drones. Was it in my head? One important thing: that rain lasted four hours...

This is the 10th release of the RAIN netlabel. But not only because of this it's special. This recording brings almost 5 hours of unique music. Just try to imagine this landscape: a lake covered with unsearchable mist, surrounded by a dark forest...And finally inside the lake but also somewhere around - there is the abyss. The abyss of dark, disturbing nightmares, silent voices and undefinable shapes...

"First, about the mind. [...] the absence of fighting or hatred or desire also means the opposites do not exist either. No joy, no communion, no love. Only where there is disillusionment and depression and sorrow does happiness arise; without the despair of loss, there is no hope."

| Kenneth Kirschner - Maundered Souls [rain022] - Kenneth Kirschner
What we have here is not just ordinary music. These sounds reach directly to meanings. The meaning here is the unspeakable tension present everywhere. The tensions of souls wandering around us. The way Kenneth Kirschner plays his music seems like this tension, after reaching it's limit, has finally broken into sound. One could hear beings from the border of silence and music. And so these are compositions about beings and tensions...

| Martin Dot - Metro [rain013] - Martin Dot
This album starts the series of five best works by Martin Dot. Chosen not chronologically, but intentionally as the first one Metro presents the idea of encapsulating time into repetitive events, like between one arrival of a train and the next one. Such repeated event is a constant. But it's also variable, as there is no possibility of such two identical events. That's what this album tries to show...

There is an Extremely Low Frequency ranging from 6 Hz to 50 Hz. It's maximum is at 7.93 Hz. This is the Earth's natural electro-magnetic resonance.

She was ill. Laying in her bed. Her beloved white roses weren't there to help. Without roses the solitude is much greater. The day was fourteenth and the month was second. She was waiting for a long time. Each minute was a long time. Without roses even seconds were called long. She did not know what to await for. Then the roses came. Enclosed within a flat surface, shattered and streamed into barely visible dots...

Diagram: about me and my music: I care for electronics as an expressing tool for many years. I like to "draw" moods in the sounds. I usually convert them to rumbles.

| The Spectral Eye - Ghosts Of The City [rain015]
The author's note: The "Spectral views" are an idea born, I think, from the sometimes sad, sometimes violent city atmosphere I love to describe and experience. With my songs I tell about the people who no-one normally sees: the forgotten, the outcast, the silenced ones: their feeling, their dreams and memories, their fears and hopes. Their eyes and souls are full of stories and feeling no-one seems to notice, or care for: they are like ghosts, lost into the darkness and light of the city...

| Martin Dot - Open Sky [rain008] - Martin Dot
Try to imagine a clear sky. Only blueness over your head. Nothing more. However there is a sun there. Blindingly noticable. You hear no sound. No sound except the music of the open sky. You sit in your window. Listening to bamboo windchimes. You listen to the wind. Clouds give you harmonies. This is timeless. You listen until you sleep. You wake up to listen more. That open sky. It is fascinating.

Just short forms. Of early ideas. Simple ways of composition. Plain technological possibilites. Recorded live in studio. At that time there was no studio yet. All of this seems unimportant. This tracks are simply enjoyable.

One session of improvised accordion music was recorded. Then this sound material was cut, shattered one could say. Then each fragment was heavily processed. And this is the result of that processing. The accordions were played by Martin Dot and R.Kujawa. Processing was done by Martin Dot except tracks 3 and 4, wchich were processed by Umisetsu. The result of all this processing is music full of tension, noise music...

About on_14: I produce music works since 2002. I use an electric guitar and a computer to create music. When I create, I pay attention to melody above all. About "Night Song": "Night Song" was produced in 2007. At the night, there are various moments. I feel various things at the night. I expressed them with a sound.

The infinity encapsulated within repetition and randomness. The sounds composed when still accidental. Infinity of possible infinities created from accidents. All this only exists once, next time there are differences. Examples of multiplications. Excerpts from infinite. This time we expand the release with a poster and a wallpaper.

No matter how deep and fatal the loss, no matter how important the thing that's stolen from us - that's snatched right out of our hands - even if we are left completely changed people with only the outer layer of skin from before, we continue to play out our lives this way, in silence. We draw ever nearer to our allotted span of time, bidding it farewell as it trails off behind...
