about

This is an EP inspired by the imagery of a truly great book, "Mirror in the Mirror" (Der Spiegel im spiegel) by german author Michael Ende. It turned out to be a bit less abstract than intended and blends melodies, everyday atmospheres, found sounds and analogue ambient washes in a dreamlike weave, hopefully containing both menace and comfort.

Uplifting melancholy, organic, calm but not uneventful. This is a beauty and a good entrance to the wonderful musical world of Hainbach. Warmly recommended. Noctopolis

"Music made of light and fog" is r beny's own description. I couldn't agree more. Discreetly majestic with lots of nuanced, intriguing movements. Noctopolis

Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It
by Rolo Tomassi

This is one of the best albums from the last few years, period. Uplifting, crushing, ethereal and violent, and still one of the most cohesive, moving albums I´ve heard. Fav track: A Flood of Light. Noctopolis

Syn-Ket Studien

There is an old forgotten machine the purpose was experimental. It is rescued by a man who sets it to use with love and hope. Pulsing and tapping old circuits comes to life patiently humming, buzzing and bubbling in and out. in his hands a peculiar joy is returned from the dusty closet. Past science and sound are saved from nowhere. Rodney Greenblat

Blinkhorn’s compositions bubble up from beneath the sound of actual rainfall, soothing and peaceful, surrounding you like a warm blanket. Bandcamp New & Notable May 22, 2022
