about

Ambient music has always figured prominently into Brooklyn-based producer Reed Kackley’s (BAILE) production style. He first dipped his toe into that world in 2017 when he wrote a series of pieces for a movement-memoir by dancer/performer Natalie Deryn Johnson, titled Patient History. Over the past couple years he has begun to work increasingly more in film – composing for short films, documentaries and ad spots.

This selection of ambient works originated as part of a score for a yet-to-be-released documentary ‘My Friend Louie’. The film explores the life of Louie, a 19-year old trans woman living in Brazil, as she reconnects with her mother and brother at a pivotal moment in her life. It also details the friendship that develops between filmmaker Kyle Morrison, and Louie in the aftermath of their trip, as he works on regaining his sobriety, and she takes the first steps towards living fully as a woman.

“I felt a deep attachment to these pieces and wanted to release them in hopes that others would connect with them too. The cues I had written were all quite short so I decided to expand them for this EP – creating a deeper world for the music while not losing sight of the original inspiration. There is such a range of emotions in the film, from grief and regret to wistfulness and exuberance, and I attempted to capture all of that in the score.”

Moody analogue pads blend with textured pianos to provide the core of these pieces. Solitude and isolation are channeled through both the music and the visuals they have been paired with. For this release, Kackley traveled to a remote area of Canada in the middle of winter to record a live set and film the somber, barren landscape. These visuals highlight the push and pull of anguish and calm that characterize this EP and the initial source material that influenced it.

LUZoSCURA
by Sasha

supported by 4 fans who also own “Ambient Selections Vol. 1”

If you're expecting Sasha's trademark progressive house/trance on his latest release, you will be sorely disappointed. Pivoting from-and deliberately not creating the status quo of electronic music-Sasha curates a lavish landscape that delves into avant-garde and "anti-dance dance music' territories with this stunning release of lush ambient soundscapes, surrealist breakbeats, subterranean techno, and laid back downtempo cuts. This is a deep, contemplative music you can dance to, sort of. DAS VILLAIN
