Single - "Song of Pigeons"

artist - Atlatl

Born of a love for organic sound, experimental decay, and an obsession with Americana, ATLATL is the solo music persona of Jacqui Adams. Minimally instrumented and dirty as a backwoods porch, ATLATL's gentle, raw vocals are evocative of such iconic voices as Billie Holiday and Blind Willy Johnson. Featured here, ATLATL's Song of Pigeons was recorded on adderall in a hoveled den of bay windows and instruments in a single pigeon-cooing Chicago summer night.

Single - "L'Été Meurtrier (Late Night Summer Drive)"

artist - Cri Du Chat

"We thought this is what it would sound like if we got lost driving on
an isolated road during one hot and sticky summer night, with "L'Été
Meurtrier" on our minds as we had just seen it at the movies (we had
travelled back in time to 1983 to witness it on a big screen, even
though it's just as good on tv). Recorded by five people in Montreal,
Quebec."

Single - "Like A Falling Star"

artist - The White Lodge

The White Lodge is the duo of Steven and Emiliana. The White Lodge's spacey folk uses bubbling ambient, gently mutating psychedelic textures to create lush instrumental soundscapes. The White Lodge is located on a small farm along the central Appalachian corridor.

Single - "Camellia"

artist - Manual

He has worked with Japanese group Clammbon, Robin Guthrie (ex-Cocteau Twins), American band Icebreaker International and more. He is currently working on projects with Auburn Lull and Ulrich Schnauss.

I composed this piece in April/May earlier this year. I worked on it for nine days. The challenge was to find the right combination of sounds and to move different textures in and out of each other in a way that would make sense to this piece as a whole. It owes its depth to minimalist composers such as Steve Reich or Terry Riley, although it's a much more simple construction. I finished working on it in the beginning of May, when the surrounding nature reached its full early summer blossom, and I feel this piece more than any other piece I have done reflects nature in bloom. I wanted to have lots of different sounds working together in this composition to create a lush nature-scenery in sound. It's a reflection of the great unbounded joy, wonder and excitement of early summer days.
