This compilation marks the second anniversary of this Seattle based label run by sound artist Yann Novak who alongwith Tadakito Ichinoseki, Kamran Sadeghi [aka Son Of Rose], Corey Fuller, Marc Manning [aka Heavy Lids], Tomoyoshi Date, Jamie Drouin and Son Of Rose, participate on ‘Cotton’, whose presentation shows a beautiful photography of a cloud with a limpid blue sky as a backdrop in a DVD case.

Tadahito Ichinoseki and Tomoyoshi Date open this comp. with ‘Gensho No Tabi’, a gentle piano notes alongwith a spoken-word in Japanese and some found objects recordings. On ‘Lullaby’ Yann Novak showcase a drone piece and sharp tones that expand through space. Kamran Sadeghi, Untitled (Kha Series] offers tiny digital textures-harmonics. Corey Fuller on ‘Light Along The Edge Of Water’ dig into an ambient piece with fine timbres like little bells. Marc Manning and Yann Novak work together the piece ‘Feeling Alone All Together’ in which shimmering guitar chords combine with grainy static drops. Tomoyoshi Date and Corey Fuller on ‘Midnight Sanctuary’ work with microscopic found objects and drone as a backdrop. Jamie Drouin on ‘Dresden’ and his oppressive grainy textures recall the pusillanimous work of Jason Kahn and Günter Müller. Close this compilation Son Of Rose with ‘Grand Treatments’ with an ambience and flickering and shimmering stasis.
