Mi Or And The Pedestals: EOS
C30 audio cassette, edition of 150
Aerated synth atmospheres and crystalline shapes; white light angelic perception

EOS is a skillful blend of voice and synthesizer, sculpted by Brooklyn-based Mi Or And The Pedestals (Ceci Moss).  Distant atmospheres are spawned from lush soundscapes and chaotic noise in an excellent fusion of contemporary synth styles.

Nathan Mclaughlin: echolocation #3
C40 audio cassette, edition of 100
MS-20 & room-length tape loops; flowing ambient subsonic immersion

Nathan Mclaughlin (currently residing in Sauk Centre, Minnesota) reveals a new chapter in his recent series, following up a previous release on Digitalis. Echolocation #3 is ambient music, rich in color and mood.  Layering vintage synths on room-length tape loops, Mclaughlin crafts music for meditation.

Panabrite: wizard chimes
C60 audio cassette, edition of 150
Submerged journey toward a glowing pearl; Juno-60 driven fantasy soundtrack

Seattle-based Panabrite is the brainchild of synth musician and record collector Norm Chambers.  Wizard Chimes carefully layers drifting arpeggiated melodies, forming the soundtrack to an epic journey through fantasy landscapes.
