Alcoves, by Celer

Alcoves

by Celer

supported by

kickedabearisafan The softest ambience around. Kind of comparable to Chihei Hatakeyama's Voids series. Inspiring use of samples and reversed reverb effects! Favorite track: Glitter Patterns.

Lake Rosseau This album is beautiful and there is something slightly secretive and sinister about the last track...like when you know a life changing event is on the horizon but you have no choice but to let it play out.

shfractals I won’t be able to count how many times I have listened to this album. It is just amazingly immersive, pure meditation ∞ Favorite track: Elapsed Paradise.

YuX Phasey another pinnacle of Celer's sound. It's as if I'm the only human to ever exist...a must for any ambient lover. Favorite track: Capacious Apparitions.

onsdorff Love the water recordings on this one, there's a point where the synth pads drop out completely and you get entirely swallowed up by the sound of rushing water, creates a really powerful feeling of complete solitude. Glitter patterns is another great track. Definitely one of my favorite releases from Celer. Favorite track: Anabranch Inter-vales.

serginoZuper This sound in not subliminal but
barely perceptible. The “absolute silence” is needed
to be able to listen to IT.
When this condition has been reached then you
have the feeling that you don’t exist anymore. Favorite track: Glitter Patterns.

about

I'm spending the days cataloging books and filling the shelves of the new library. In the early afternoons, the new library employees come in and we learn about their system, and how to work it. It's a 4km walk out of the edge of town, along the hills and red dirt roads with broken palms back to our house. I'll listen to the radio, or the wind as I walk. When I get back you're on the phone with family, and our child is outside the window playing in the sand nearby. When she comes back in to join you and have a snack, I'm already wading in the water, floating on my back, and drifting further out. The clouds in the distance are reaching over the islands, their overcast arms swooping and dropping warm rain. Showers barely pass, and they blow by like shadows against the flickering, distant blue lights of the town. I can see the light from our window when I look up, treading water, and even the ocean seems grey and quiet here in the middle. Behind me is another island, led by a green mountain, grey and black with clouds hanging over. The water moves underneath, a sea snake swims by, and the surf spins.

Listened to this on the plane and transformed my flight. Others looked at me and fell silent. Babies stopped crying. Flight attendants paused in the aisle. The pilot spoke over the intercom but said nothing. Pasta rating: CAPELLINI boostopasta
