Motion

Marie Collion I absolutely love this album!
It is perfect for a thoughtful and introspection mood.
It makes you grounded (but not down to earth) and present in the "now".
On a more practical note, it is great for focus and meditation.
Somehow, it makes me think of the Solaris soundtrack (which is one on my favourite movie soundtrack) by Cliff Martinez. Favorite track: Glacial.

about

An album written during the reflective year that was 2021. Motion is an exploration of a lot of the techniques that I picked up and ran with whilst creating my Soundscapes Radio series; a maturation of my sound.

It's a bit slow at times, but that's the point. Let it take you somewhere else.

The sound is very much inspired by three years in Japan followed by a year back home in the UK; it's a collaboration between the influence of two homes, two states of being.

Yosi Horikawa is my best friend, we just haven't met yet and he has no idea who I am. I love this guy so much and the music he makes is ridiculously good. Simon James French

Portraits Outtakes
by Maribou State

The best thing Maribou State have released. Portraits is a fantastic album in its own right but these three outtakes are dripping with sexiness. Simon James French

Post Mortem
by Splendidula

supported by 9 fans who also own “Motion”

Have only listened to the first three tracks so far. Somehow the indie/grunge/funereal/doom elements meld together well. Well worth a listen! 😁 Update - couldn't stop listening. No weak tracks. Music that won't stand still, but holds up well throughout. My favourite non-electronic release for some time. Thanks so much for the code! 😎 Rinchen Choesang

Your Track Title (ft. Your Name)
by Paul Jordan

In the music of Paul Jordan, digitally manipulated field recordings become striking electronic songs that feel eerie and surreal. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2020
