The Song Itself Is Pretty Good, But What Makes This An Excellent Piece Is The Package. Housed In A Mini-Box You Get The 3" In Plastic Slip Cover With Tiny Gem Pebbles. AWESOME

Dotflac For almost 18 minutes, Cay passes through several moods.

From calm to powerful, from lulling soundscapes to noisy atmospheres, from uncertain and worrying parts to optimistic and bright sides, Tobias Hellkvist takes us on an emotional rollercoaster.

Cay sounds like a cycle : everything begins with a storm and hard times through the saturated guitars, but we reach our goal with beautiful colors and pictures in our heads thanks to bright drones and soft choirs, before the final relief.

Nice.

about

Cold shadows that have hidden in the ocean at night, now slowly crawl on the scorching sand. Light grainy noises drown in the wash. Fishes, flowers, birds, people gilded with heat are melting in the sun, drift in the hot air towards each other, free and intangible, like music.

"From the very beginning, 'Cay' was just a project which got stuck, gathering dust in a folder hidden somewhere on my laptop for a long time. After returning to work on it from time to time, actually for about 3 years, I still wasn't entirely pleased and had trouble deciding on which direction I wanted it to go. But after experimenting with some new gear that I bought for my studio, the pieces started to fall into place and the track was gradually coming together."

- Tobias Hellkvist

It didn't quite get its final form until recently, as Tobias finally decided to finish it in April of 2014. 'Cay' is now, almost 18 minutes long, a track that spans from the high and low, the aggressive and calm, being intense and soothing at the same time - an excellent addition to his arsenal of ambient drones.

Pro-printed 3''CDr in cardboard handmade box includes original inserts (images + separated shadows on the transparent film) and natural small stones of different colours.

Tobias Hellkvist (b. 1984) is a Swedish composer and artist, working mainly in the field of ambient, drone and electroacoustic music. Blending the electronic with the organic, dense shimmering drones with intense 'wall of sound'-textures, Hellkvists' cinematic atmospheres has been referred to as dynamic, varied and "packed full of life".

Bokeh
by Wil Bolton

supported by 29 fans who also own “Cay”

In Bokeh, Wil Bolton patiently crafted six tracks, where processed field recordings and reverberated synthesizers melodies are carefully balanced. Chimes, bar-like talks, distant traffic or whispers from the wind frame the story of this release in a very small location. We are only one step away from saying that the artist takes us in his privacy with Bokeh ; and I'll go for it. Very personal and sensitive, this album takes place behind the closed doors of Bolton's near environment. Lovely. Dotflac
