Presenting ... The people who walked in darkness (waag_aa002_4) by Stephen Briggs

“The people who walked in darkness (waag_aa002_4)” is the fourth piece by Stephen Briggs that makes up this second “Ambient Advent” collection and with it comes a fifth track, a bonus track, that was simply too good not to include.

Both “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light” and “Light and life to all he brings” are designed for contemplation and meditation during what has become a very busy period.

Regardless how you celebrate this period, I hope these pieces will give you a sense of peace. Please create a playlist with all five tracks and take some time out to consider how you can bring light to the dark corners of this world.

A 320kbps version of this release will be available on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’. Any monies raised from this track will be donated to charity … more details to follow.

Presenting ... Let your heart take courage (waag_aa002_3) by Stephen Briggs

“Let your heart take courage (waag_aa002_3)” is the third of four pieces by Stephen Briggs that are intended for the season of Advent.

Courage is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, and the like without fear; It is a quality we need desperately today when we consider all that is happening in our beautiful world. The terrorists and the warmongers want us to fear and every Star Wars fan knows that fear is the path to the dark side:

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

We need the courage to live without fear … and for us to have courage, we need hope. The time of Advent is all about hope: the hope of a new day.

The four soundscapes that will make up this second “Ambient Advent” collection are designed for contemplation and meditation during what has become a very busy period.

Regardless how you celebrate this period, I hope this piece will give you a sense of peace.

A 320kbps version of this release will be available over on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’. Any monies raised from this track will be donated to charity … more details to follow.

Presenting ... Ambient Advent 2015: "We Wait For The Light (waag_aa002_12)" by Stephen Briggs

“We wait for the light (waag_aa002_2)” is the second of four pieces by Stephen Briggs that are intended for the season of Advent.

Darker than the previous soundscape, “We wait for the light” is all about anticipation … of waiting and watching … of wondering about the future.

The four soundscapes that will make up this second “Ambient Advent” collection are designed for contemplation and meditation during what has become a very busy period.

Regardless how you celebrate this period, I hope this piece will give you a sense of peace.

Presenting ... Interplanetary Blues (waag_rel079) by Cousin Silas & Kevin Lyons

The collaboration of Cousin Silas and Kevin Lyons is an inspired one … fuelled by a shared love of pulp sci-fi and leftfield music. It is a partnership that I cannot get enough of.

“Interplanetary Blues (waag_rel079)” is a remarkable release: expressive, engaging and wonderfully atmospheric; it is my kind of experimental ambient electronic music. Yes … at times there are beats but they add to the overall whole of the album.

This album has become the soundtrack to my life and has accompanied me on a number of journeys both into and out of Glasgow. It just fits.

The artwork, kindly provided by Andreas Schwietzke, also fits. He his the silent party in this partnership, inspiring the chaps with his otherworldly artwork. Schwietzke is our Roger Dean and we are all grateful for that.

I am delighted to support the partnership of Cousin Silas and Kevin Lyons, and proud to release their latest album on weareallghosts. I hope you will enjoy what they have prepared as much as I do.

A 320kbps version of this release will be available over on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’. If you decide to download this album here for free, and you can with our best wishes, then all we ask is that you please tell people about it.

Presenting ... Ambient Advent 2015: The Stars In The Bright Sky (waag_aa002_1​)” by Stephen Briggs

“The Stars In The Bright Sky (waag_aa002_1​)” is the first of four pieces by Stephen Briggs that are intended for the season of Advent.

Advent, for me, is about mystery and there is nothing more mysterious than the stars in the night sky. Briggs’ first piece conveys, through a moving looped and layered ambient guitar instrumental, this sense of mystery before settling on a tune that will be very familiar to some.

The four soundscapes that will make up this second “Ambient Advent” collection are designed for contemplation and meditation during what has become a very busy period.

Regardless how you celebrate this period, I hope this piece will give you a sense of peace.

Presenting ... Modified Dronescapes And Other Assorted Misdemeanours (waag_rel078) by Cousin Silas

As I type this on Black Friday I am sitting in my house, at a small IKEA desk, listening to a Czech radio show who have featured the music of weareallghosts. It is raining outside, which is no surprise - it is November in the West of Scotland after all, and I am still nursing a concussion I received last week when I fell in the shower and hit my head on the toilet bowl.

Taking this time out has really helped me to prioritise my life: I love my family and my friends, I love my job and desperately miss it, and I love music, especially the kind of atmospheric music I promote on my podcast and release through my netlabel.

These are my priorities.

You must share in my love of atmospheric music if you are reading this. And you must share in my love of the music of one of my dearest friends too.

Cousin Silas is an inspiration, his creativity knows no bounds. When I proposed the idea of him doing a longform ambient piece he was rather reticent: he didn’t see the artistry in this style of music. I’m glad I was able to encourage him to pursue what became his Dronescape series, they have become a very popular part of weareallghosts’ musical offering. Knowing I am not alone in appreciating his particular take on longform drones is comforting.

Silas’ creativity is a restless energy, paradoxically the more he gives away the more he has to give. I find this fascinating and was very encouraging when Silas began to release on his Soundcloud reworkings of his Dronescapes - cutting them down and adding his trademark ambient guitar to make them more accessible, more palatable to folks who may not be able to appreciate a single sub-80 minute piece.

I am delighted to bring a collection of these edited Dronescapes to you. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.

A 320kbps version of this release will be available over on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’. If you decide to download this album here for free, and you can with our best wishes, then all we ask is that you please tell people about it.

Presenting ... Sunburst (waag_rel077) by Brother Saturn

Drew Miller aka Brother Saturn is a busy guy, he creates music under a number of monikers including Brother Saturn and Chromadrift. I have enjoyed watching his growth as a musician and am proud of the Brother Saturn releases I’ve put out on weareallghosts.

“Sunburst” is his latest work as Brother Saturn and it is, by my reckoning, his most accomplished to date. There is a dreamy, analogue otherworldliness about his compositions here: it is experimental ambient music that feeds the head and provides a decidedly quirky escape from the day-to-day, music that remains accessible and doesn’t get too out-there or overwrought.

I hope you enjoy this release as much as I do. I look forward to more from someone who is on the up.

A 320kbps version of this release will be available over on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’.

Presenting ... Internal Furniture (waag_rel076) by Cousin Silas | Tim Jones | Kevin Lyons

Weird fiction deserves weird music.

When I read H.P.Lovecraft, I must do so with weird music in my ears. Over the years, my go-to for the soundtrack has been Emmalee Crane. That is until now.

“Internal Furniture (waag_rel076)” is a deliciously weird collaboration between Cousin Silas, Tim Jones and Kevin Lyons; that was conceived during a long weekend together in Yorkshire.

When the cat is away, the mice will play and boy did these mice play. Fuelled by horror movies, old TV shows and pulp sci-fi novels, the lads came together in a meeting of minds to create something deeply engaging and really rather creepy.

“Internal Furniture (waag_rel076)” is the ideal soundtrack for Lovecraft’s work, a body of music that best consumed in the flickering of candlelight, late at night via a good pair of headphones … or not, if you are of a nervous disposition.

I hope you enjoy this release as much as I do. I look forward to more from this eloquent partnership.

Presenting ... dronescape 029 (waag_drs029) by Cousin Silas

It has been a while since we had a dronescape from Cousin Silas, two months in fact, and in that time I have come to really appreciate his longform work. I know I have said this before but it needs said: they give me space, they give me time out to think and to concentrate. I guess when the one thing you crave is for some down time that when you get it, you cherish it.

This dronescape, Cousin Silas’ twenty-ninth is nearly 80 minutes in length. It is a real journey in sound, one I found to be deeply immersive and relaxing. Put simply, this is a gift. I needed (and continue to need) this in my life and I am grateful to the man himself for his ongoing ingenuity.

As always a 320kbps version of this release will be available over on Archive for free with a lossless version available here on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’. If you decide to download this dronescape for free, and you can with our best wishes, then all we ask is that you please tell people about it.

Presenting ... Geographics 2 (waag_rel075) by Cousin Silas

I have a considerable amount of love for Cousin Silas and his music. He is consistently wonderful, as an inspiration and as a friend, and I am proud to present his latest work: “Geographics 2 (waag_rel075)” … the long overdue follow up to “Geographics” on the brilliant Shaun Blezard’s now sadly dormant Earth Monkey Productions.

It was Geographics that got me into Cousin Silas’ music. That and his Ballard Landscapes, which were all on EMP. And it was EMP that got me into Silas by promoting his work. Blezard’s netlabel introduced me to the concept of netlabel and was a key inspiration for me to start weareallghosts.

It seems like we’ve come full circle with waag releasing Cousin Silas’ follow up all these years later.

And what a release it is: mellow, ambient guitar soundscapes. Nothing rushed or overwrought, just simple ambience … the kind that settles the mind.

Here’s to you, Cousin Silas … and to you, Shaun Blezard! Cheers to you both.

A 320kbps version of this release is available over on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’.

Presenting ... Noises from the Edge of the Universe (waag_rel074) by Kevin Lyons

I am a big fan of longform ambient soundscapes … I am also a big fan of Kevin Lyons’ music, so you can imagine my delight when he submitted a longform piece for my consideration.

You’d think I would be sick of them after 28 dronescapes but nothing could be further from the truth … I love them! and I love the fact that Lyons was inspired by our favourite cousin to give longform a try. This creative cross-pollination makes me very happy indeed.

Clocking in at just under 70 minutes, “Noises from the edge of the universe” is everything I love about ambient music: imaginative, engaging, immersive, and ultimately satisfying. It is a piece that envelopes you and lets you forget yourself. God only knows how much I have needed this!

I really hope you enjoy Kevin Lyons’ first foray into longform as much as I have.

A 320kbps version of this release is available over on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’.

Presenting ... "Oscillation I (waag_CDr002)" by Symatic Star & String Theories

I am proud to announce weareallghosts' second physical release - "Oscillation I" by Symatic Star & String Theories.

From the liner notes:

Collaboration of the kind shown here from Symatic Star and his collective, String Theories, on their first album - "Oscillation I" - is a truly beautiful thing indeed. 

Working with waag alumni Stephen Briggs and Cousin Silas, as well as Chris Archibald, Steve Bobs, Disturbed Earth, Dan Minoza, and Darage Bang; under the collective name of String Theories … Simon Walsh aka Symatic Star has created something exquisite: music that is both deeply engaging and expressive ... music that is memorable, not for individual contributions but for the whole togetherness of the pieces presented. Elements of post-rock and "world" sounds combine with expressive improvisation forming atmospheres, the whole interwoven by Walsh's masterful ambience. 

String theories is a musical collective where each member contributes to the overall sound using only stringed instruments such as guitar (all), fretless bass and bass VI (Symatic Star) and even the mandolin (Darage Bang); crafting this sound with a range of pedals and software, as appropriate. 

This is not a sum-of-the-parts endeavour but a series of genuine collaborations where the seams do not show, where continuity and flow, as values, are both expertly and consistently expressed. 

Oscillation I was directed by Simon Walsh with the members of String Theories each contributing to one track. Oscillation II will see the role of director pass to another member with Symatic Star only playing on one track and the responsibility for aural cohesion passed to one of his collaborators. 

My kudos to Simon & to the String Theories collective for what has become the second physical product that weareallghosts has put out, a release I am proud to back. 

This, the second proper physical release from weareallghosts, features artwork by Sheleah Nahshon in a beautiful digipack created by Brin Coleman (aka Bing Satellites) for scramsons.co.uk.

The CD is currently on pre-order over on our Bandcamp page. If you buy it now you will get 2 tracks immediately (streaming via the free Bandcamp app and as a high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more) and will receive the complete album the moment it's released on 21st August, 2015;

CDs are priced at £8 + postage and packing with the download (without CD) priced at £6 ... weareallghosts has 75 CDs for sale via our Bandcamp page with the remaining 25 with Simon for local sale in Australia and to pass to the artists who contributed to the making of the album.

CDs will start shipping on or around 22 August 2015.

Presenting ... Dronescape 028 (waag_drs028) by Cousin Silas

Sometimes life just doesn’t go to plan: People you hold in high regard let you down, risks you take don’t pay off and end up costing you dear, and that great idea that you had turns out to be anything but; you know what I mean.

When life gets like that I try to retreat, refocus, and restart; and I greatly appreciate music that helps me do that.

The twenty-eighth dronescape from Cousin Silas is one such piece of music and, to be honest, it couldn’t have come at a better time. Its rich, pastoral theme and deeply intoxicating waves of melody have me enthralled. This is music for recuperation and relaxation, music that helps with the reinterpretation of our plans.

Take some time out today … 73 minutes to be exact … and regroup.

A 320kbps version of this release will be available on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’. If you decide to download this dronescape for free, and you can with our best wishes, then all we ask is that you please tell people about it.

Presenting ... Cousin Silas and Friends | iv

Before you are 45 tracks from Cousin Silas and his friends. This is the fourth such compilation and it is, by far, the largest.

Rather than single any one track out for praise, I will say this: how can you measure such creativity? Can you even attempt to do so using minutes or megabytes alone as your evidence? It is impossible.

What Cousin Silas has done here by not only creating the initial music but by seeking out and bringing together his friends so they can aid him in creating their respective pieces is nothing short of remarkable.

In fact, it is inconceivable, as Vizzini would say.

But here’s the thing … this is the kind of creativity that lives, breathes and makes things happen on the edges of culture. I am proud of all I have achieved with my netlabel, weareallghosts. I am proud to give a home to the creativity that oozes out of this recording.

On the 14th July, 2015; we will celebrate with friends and fans across the world the first Netlabel Day. Unfortunately I will be sunning myself just north of Venice in Italy and will not be able to contribute on the day. So consider Silas & Friends vol. iv to be my early gift.

Please do all you can now and on the 14th July to support netlabels, your ongoing support is vital to ensure this movement can flourish.

A 320kbps version of this release is available over on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’. If you decide to download this album here for free, and you can with our best wishes, then all we ask is that you please tell people about it.

Presenting ... "Dronescape 027" by Cousin Silas AND "Faith" by Colin Blake

Today is a great day if you love your ambient longform and mysterious. We have two releases for you: the twenty-seventh Dronescape from Cousin Silas and "Faith" from Colin Blake.





First off ... we have Dronescape 027 from Cousin Silas ...

Today is a significant day for me, it is my Wedding Anniversary. I am married to Olwyn and have been for the last 18 years. We have seen so much together. I guess it is true what’s said: time does fly when you are having fun. 

Time is wonderful concept, isn’t it? it flies when we enjoy ourselves and drags when we don’t. Days, weeks, months, years; they all move so quickly and just like any chocolate bar, we don’t get as much now as we used to. 

That’s why I love Cousin Silas’ dronescapes so very much. They give me time. They let me escape the world for an hour or more, aid my concentration and guide me towards the flow.  

Dronescape 027 is the next instalment in our ongoing series, a shorter piece at 60 minutes and yet no less effective. It is an emotive journey, one that is unique to each and every sojourner. 

I really hope you enjoy this soundscape as much as I have.

https://archive.org/details/waag_drs027

We then have Faith by Colin Blake ...

A while back Colin Blake had an idea: to create 30 minute slices of sci-fi ambient, slices that could easily fit on the side of a C60 cassette tape. Since the release of “Cones” I was sold on the idea and I have looked for more. 

"Faith (waag_rel072)" is the first in a three-part series that follows Colin’s original C60 idea. Faith is presented as two “sides”: part 1 and part 2, both run near to 30 minutes each and feature some delightfully mysterious ambient music. Over the next few months we will have “Hope” and “Charity” to complete the trilogy. 

I really hope you enjoy Faith as much as I have.

https://archive.org/details/waag_rel072



A 320kbps version of both releases is available over on Archive (archive.org/details/we-are-all-ghosts) for free with lossless versions available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’.

If you decide to download either release for free, and you can with our best wishes, then all we ask is that you please tell people about them.

Oh and if you decide to chip in for either release on Bandcamp then please leave a wee review in your collection so your friends can hear about the album from you.

Thanks for all your support.

Presenting ... "Ancient Ocean (waag_rel071)" by Scott Lawlor and The Gateless Gate

"Ancient Ocean (waag_rel071)" is a collaboration between versatile ambient musician Scott Lawlor and neo-Krautrock/kosmische act The Gateless Gate (or one half of it, Allister Thompson). Scott’s drones for this piece strongly suggested the ebb and flow of the ocean. However, making yet another oceanic ambient album wasn’t satisfying, so Allister came up with the concept of a primordial ocean, millions of years before the dawn of man. This opened up the door to all sorts of progressive rock influences creeping in, like Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream.

The first two tracks dive deep into the darkness of this ocean, with choral sounds and organs, as well as guitar mimicking the cries of undersea monsters, playing over Scott’s layered drones and subtle chord and tonal changes, before building up into a space-rock guitar freakout (or two). Allister dedicates his playing on these two tracks to the legendary Dave Brock of Hawkwind, the king of space-rock guitar.

“Lemurian Shores” envisions the mysterious coastal environments of a lost ancient civilization, while “The Deep Ones Call” is a tribute to the maritime mythos of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, being based particularly on imagery from the novella The Shadow Over Innsmouth.

The artists really enjoyed this collaboration and hope that it will be the first of many.

A 320kbps version of this release is available over on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’. If you decide to download this album here for free, and you can with our best wishes, then all we ask is that you please tell people about it.

Presenting ... “Transcendental Mechanics (waag_rel070)” by Brother Saturn

—
Transcendental / adjective / “a transcendental experience, event, object, or idea is extremely special and unusual and cannot be understood in ordinary ways.”
—
Mechanics / noun / “the study of the effect of physical forces on objects and their movement.”
—

“Transcendental Mechanics (waag_rel070)” by Brother Saturn is a remarkable EP, one that takes forward the sound he established whilst wandering the galaxy. It features four tracks that vary in length from just over 4 minutes through to 28 minutes, four distinct tracks that explore their own individual space. This is one piece of music that must be experienced, words alone do not do it justice. It is, as the title suggests, transcendental.

A 320kbps version of this release is available over on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’. If you decide to download this album here for free, and you can with our best wishes, then all we ask is that you please tell people about it.

Two releases from Cousin Silas: "Dronescape 026 (waag_drs026)" and "Through a Cobweb Strange (waag_rel069)"

First up ... we have Dronescape 026:

Earlier today I watched a programme that explored sensory deprivation using a flotation tank. The idea of nothingness was an idea both compelling and frightening to the host: sixty minutes of nothing is a rather intimidating prospect … just you and your thoughts. 

I wonder if that’s what some people think about longform drones … that a post-sixty minute ambient soundscape is, in some way, a scary proposition. I don’t know. What I do know, however, is that I like to be alone with my thoughts and Cousin Silas’ dronescapes are a great enabler for me to get some “down time”. 

Dronescape 026 … yes, the twenty-sixth instalment in Cousin Silas’ longform series … is worthy addition to his post-sixty minute canon. In fact, it is a fine addition to his body of work.  

I really hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

https://archive.org/details/waag_drs026



---





We then have "the Disco album" ...

“Through a Cobweb Strange (waag_rel069)” from Cousin Silas … affectionately referred to as “the disco album” when discussing it with Dave prior to release … is full of beats. In fact, “Through a Cobweb Strange (waag_rel069)” features fifteen downtempo tracks that combine Silas’ particular style of ambient guitar with varying degrees of percussion.

I love the variety of Cousin Silas’ music and gravitate towards different elements depending on my mood. He can and does turn his hand to some exceptional longform drones; dark, atmospheric soundscapes; and lighter, expressive ambient electronica; I have a particular fondness for his tracks with a percussive element and find his version of downtempo electronic music very engaging. I really hope you do too.

https://archive.org/details/waag_rel069



As always ... 320kbps versions of these releases are available over on Archive for free with a lossless version available on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ which does include ‘free’. If you decide to download this album here for free, and you can with our best wishes, then all we ask is that you please tell people about it.

Enjoy.
