For Complex Silence 4, mysterybear (Dave Seidel) provides a decidedly abstract, yet sublime exploration of the Golden Ratio with two long-form tracks. Both pieces were written using blue and Csound.

To celebrate this milestone, Darrell put together a massive compilation of Earth Mantra artists.

There are far too many artists to name, so just click right on over and check them all out for yourself. For the most part, these are new tracks, not just selected re-releases!

Sylvie Walder and I contributed a new track as well. Here is a little promo I put together at Youtube.

This CS release features JMMIII as the artist.

Phillip Wilkerson and Treetrunk Records have released "Constant 23" available for immediate download:

For "Constant 23", Phillip Wilkerson offers a quasi-organic sitar-sounding drone that seems to twist and grow (complete with pops and crackles), in a kind of psychedelic time-lapse haze. This long-form drone is further enhanced by nurturing, transcendent harmonies floating in a luscious and spacious ambience.

Treetrunk Records really enjoys this version of Constant, and hopes you will, too.

"Constant" pieces are works of minimal drone that tend to use a "less is more" approach. The idea of these songs is to create the least possible ambient drone material necessary for listening.

Mystified created the first "Constant" on Webbed Hand Records (http://www.webbedhandrecords.com ). Since that time, several artists have given the theme their own spin and Treetrunk Records has a growing collection of releases on the "Constant" theme.

As coincidence would have it, JNN released Phillip Wilkerson's Penumbra just in time for the February 9, 2009 full moon. A full moon which, as the universe would have it, coincided with a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse visible in eastern Europe, Asia, Australia, the Pacific, and western North America.
