RODA - A Sea Of Mirror Carpets

RODA is the new collaborative project from two experimental musicians Ross Scott-Buccleuch and Daniel Vujanic. Their album "A Sea Of Mirror Carpets" got picked up by Moonside Tapes and it totally bewitched me. Droning soundscapes interact and intersect with ambient motifs and field recordings, creating an impression you're listening to a nature documentary soundtrack. This is easily my fav releases from Moonside since their Background Character tape. Get it!

Dust Magnetic - Dust Magnetic

Dust Magnetic is like the 100th alias of Canadian producer and experimentalist Scott Johnson aka Thoughts On Air. A central figure during the tape revival of the late 2000s, on this self-titled album for Moonside Tapes, Scott plays with tape loops and electroacoustic techniques creating an album filled with warped ambient that's scattered with hard-to-pin found sounds, all circling around the mini-universe of dusty noise.

V.A. - Microtonal Music

Seven artists from the Moonside roster were asked to make a microtonal piece, the sole criterion being that the harmonic content not be confined to 12-tone equal temperament. How they approached this was up to them, whether free-form or adhering to a specific tuning system.

Background Character - For Three

Zen tones and minimal ambient drones fill the new tape "For Three" from the Canadian experimental producer Nathan Ivanco aka Background Character. Presented by Moonside Tapes, the album has a meditative quality that will slowly lure you into an ocean of calmness the moment you press play. Very relaxing and rewarding.
