former selves - our air
 aloonaluna - visitors
c42

there is a poem from a childhood friend that always stuck with me. at night when I see the moon, or when I look at the sun directly in its eye, I sometimes still recall it. in this particular poem, it charts the unrequited love of the sun and the moon. oh, how the sun and the moon chase each other around the earth in the cosmos, never to really meet. how different but yet similar the two are, both with their varying lights and gravitational pulls on earth. the musical projects former selves and aloonaluna play out some similar scenario, as sun and moon, piecing together their own star-crossed variants of light and gravity. here on this split we have an intersection of sun and moon; the space where they meet. perhaps its those last few moments before the sun sneaks past the horizon, eyeing that graying moon.
remember, novalis said "we dream of a journey through the universe. but is the universe then not in us? inward goes the secret path." so come on, don't hesitate, be romantic. the truest beauty awaits you.    former selves (medley) by cosmic winnetou aloonaluna (medley) by cosmic winnetou

innercity
träumata c90

beware, this one is a concept album. hans dens' style all around, his trademark disturbing lofi-foundsound-loops, but i have a feeling this one is a bit more conceptional as his many other works. in the beginning of each side of this massive tape there is no hope in sight, just darkness and confusion, but hans won't let the listener alone in a fragmented soundscape, instead he takes him by the hand and lead him to some kind of extatic light. once per side, unforgetable and life changing.
sounds that orchestrate your traumas and your dreams. the witchdoctor knows you will  need it for your next self healing listening session.

creation VI
akroamatikos c60
this record was inspired by ancient greek philosophy and reflects cosmological process, as it was described in the heraclitus work. endlessly continuing creation of the world, soundtrack to the universe, aural architectonics of one, that becomes many. hierarchically organised cosmos, from stardust to every living creature on each planet, from violet void to the singularity. 
drones huge and mysterious like the cosmos. close your eyes to be lost in its immersity. now.

lunar miasma
blackest haze c42

"...and now pay attention to what I am about to tell you - heaven itself, indeed, will recall it to your recollection. first you will come to the sirens who enchant all who come near them. if any one unwarily draws in too close and hears the singing of the sirens, his wife and children will never welcome him home again, for they sit in a green field and warble him to death with the sweetness of their song. there is a great heap of dead men's bones lying all around, with the flesh still rotting off them. therefore pass these sirens by, and stop your men's ears with wax that none of them may hear; but if you like you can listen yourself, for you may get the men to bind you as you stand upright on a cross piece half way up the mast, and they must lash the rope's ends to the mast itself, that you may have the pleasure of listening. if you beg and pray the men to unloose you, then they must bind you faster." homer, the odyssey, 12th book

kyle landstra
sage c32

these two side long tracks were recorded in may and june of 2012 respectively and created in an improvised manner using a roland juno-106, loop pedal among other effects pedals.  the title 'sage' references cleansing properties of the white sage plant and its ability to clear energy of beings or objects by means of the smudging technique.  this allows the user to go through a process of inner rejuvenation, while moving forward, allowing them to perceive the outer world with a clean slate.
cosmic sounds for herbal healing. a must have in every little indian's first aid kit.
