Overtones is a long form musique concrète piece exploring the boundaries of sound manipulation using only the resonances, tones, and textures of a 200 year old handbell.
Michael Baum returns to ECHØVEIL with Be Still For Certainty, another absolutely gorgeous descent into the slow, suspended nowhere of minimal ambient drone. A music dwelling at the thin border between worlds. Long tones breathe, hover, erode. Vast layers of sound remain almost impossibly still while, somewhere inside them, strange little keyboard apparitions begin to flicker — schizoïd constellations, crooked interstellar lights, fragments of some obsolete celestial machinery briefly awakening in the fog. There is something deeply peaceful here, but never entirely reassuring. The music floats in that peculiar region where serenity becomes alien, where repetition slowly alters the architecture of perception and where a single sustained frequency can suddenly feel larger than the room, larger than the night, perhaps larger than whatever world we accidentally woke up inside. Ghosts of Eliane Radigue, Steve Roach, Roland Kayn, Abul Mogard and Kyle Bobby Dunn may occasionally drift through these immense spaces, but Baum follows his own quiet trajectory toward something increasingly distant, abstract and beautifully unplaceable. -Sir Kuliktavikt
A lost track by yours truly.... from 2024.... or maybe 1876.... or maybe, it's never been recorded (or a combination of the above) -Sir Kuliktavikt
this release is called "scale" and it was made while thinking about how small problems become when you just look up to the sky and realize how big the world we live in is and how much time there is. a minute can feel a lot longer too if you want it to. i used every single second of a minute to think about this and i started feeling and thinking differently. i use a lot of new sounds and styles in this one, there will be 4 tracks, and some are gonna be the usual stuff that i do and some are gonna go in different directions. be experimental or just another style. 1. scale 2. obstacle 3. calm 4. reassuring reward credits released June 17, 2026
