New Release: DAWN TREADER by Chronotope Project
Cinematic in scope and depth, the majestic Dawn Treader is Chronotope Project's first full length release on the Spotted Peccary label. Jeffery Ericson Allen is the sole creative force behind the music, and he skillfully balances the compositions between mystical, ambient dreamscapes and organic, emotional melodic statements. The soundscapes – drawn from a variety of sources spanning ambient electronic, Western classical, and traditional world music – are textural, compelling, evocative, and meaningful. Dawn Treader is an album that is firmly

Numina + Zero Ohms: BROKEN STARS THROUGH BRILLIANT CLOUDS
Broken Stars Through Brilliant Clouds finds veteran ambient electronic sound explorers Numina (Jesse Sola) and Zero Ohms (Richard Roberts) joining forces for the first time to embark upon a vast new deep sonic voyage through a solid hour of time-shifting, free floating, pure ambient space music. Billowing textures, serene and occasionally foreboding passages, and abstract washes of full spectrum sound set the stage for a mesmerizing voyage through the awe-inspiring wonder, beautiful isolation, and staggering immensity of infinite interstellar vistas.
Howard Givens & Craig Padilla: Life Flows Water
Life Flows Water is a new collaboration between Spotted Peccary Music’s founder and creative guru Howard Givens (Brain Laughter) and veteran electronic virtuoso Craig Padilla. It is a meditation in form, opening and closing with tones from a Tibetan bowl, and flowing, evolving continuously through seven impressions of deeply nuanced ambient electronic artistry. Performed live on a profound array of electronic instruments from classic vintage and modular synths to modern digital keyboards, this delicately choreographed work is really about inward expansiveness
Forrest Fang: Letters To the Farthest Star
Brand new from Projekt Records, Letters To The Farthest Star by Forrest Fang. Like messages from a universe without geographic borders, these pieces shift from dark, organic ambient passages to emotional, melodic interludes. In those moments, the tracks are textural, propulsive, expressive, and transparent; Fang’s sound is anchored by an Asian sensibility that reflects his fondness for stringed and percussion instruments from China, Indonesia and Turkey. Available on CD and in all the usual download formats, including 24-bit High Res

New Release: Vague Traces by Wilkerson & Russell
Time Being’s Phillip Wilkerson combines creative forces with sound sculptor Chris Russell on Vague Traces, a collaboration steeped in stillness and quietude.

Sonic storytellers Shane Morris & Mystified are back with EVOLUTION, the conclusion to their “Inspired Evolution” trilogy. The music, sometimes rhythmic, opaque and mostly amorphous, compels us to the age where early Humans have evolved.
