Freudvoll und Leidvoll

by Sima Kim

supported by

Michael LoCicero This fine two song 3'CDr Ltd to 75 on DRONARIVM comes in a mini box with dried flowers. Sima Kim has me running around from label to label picking up his wonderful music. Favorite track: Leidvoll.

Dotflac Meaning respectively "Full of joy" and "Full of sorrow", the two tracks of this Mini seem to take their roots in the european classical era.

While Freudvoll increases gradually the volume and the superimposition of the strings layers to the limits of saturation, Leidvoll uses a loop of strings getting more and more blurry and distant in the course of the track, sinking underwater.

A clever musical analogy of rapture and euphoria in Freudvoll and of grief and fatality in Leidvoll.

Lulling. Favorite track: Leidvoll.

about

Freudvoll
Und leidvoll,
Gedankenvoll sein,
Hangen
Und bangen
in schwebender Pein,
Himmelhoch jauchzend,
zum Tode betrübt -
Glücklich allein
Ist die Seele, die liebt.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
(aus Egmont III. Akt)

Two tape loop based repitative drone tracks inspired by classical poem and music.

Pro-printed 3''CDr in cardboard handmade box includes original small 6-pages photobook and dried flowers.

Sima Kim was born in South Korea at 1989, and grew up in europe. He started studying music at 18 years-old and did a degree in musicology after being influenced by western classical and contemporary music. After visiting Germany and India in 2011, he started composing music and has had his music released on several labels - Cathedral Transmissions, Twice Removed Records, Umor Rex, Unknown Tone Records, Rural Colours and the others.

Bokeh
by Wil Bolton

supported by 28 fans who also own “Freudvoll und Leidvoll”

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

This truly beautiful album feels like a hidden gem of texture, tones and of course, patience. Upon the first listen I instantly fell in love with it and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys untethered music that flows with its own current. glumburger

My first time listening to Wil Bolton. Night Paths is a great ambient album, just like the rest of the Hidden Vibes "series". Highly recommended. ajatuslapsi
