Star Atlas sold out

In less than a month, Star Atlas sold out. That is good news...except for those who didn't get a physical copy. Well, I guess it won't be long before downloads start appearing somewhere on the internet.

New Sonmi451 album released

Time Released Sound, based in San Fransisco California, has released a new Sonmi451 full length album called "A New Popular Star Atlas". According to the label's website "the album will initially only be available in a limited edition of 100 copies: each of these thermal printed cdr’s will come in a folded sleeve made from a beautifully unique, deep blue antique star chart. Each package will also include a 5″ diameter star finder wheel, and will come in the now ubiquitous square, hand worked/stamped/punched and star spattered translucent envelope..."

Louis Reith

I'd like to point your attention to artist, illustrator & designer Louis Reith. Louis lives and works in The Netherlands and has created the cover and a beautiful ink drawing for the new Ruis-album. Check out his work here or here.

Fluid Radio

Very nice review of Ruis on Fluid Radio. Check it out here. Fluid Radio also hosts some very nice mixes, mainly electronic and ambient. Definitely worth to visit !

Ruis: a new Sonmi451-release on Slaapwel Records

I got to know the lovely Belgian Slaapwel Records label in fall 2009 and was impressed by Wim Maesschalks original approach in releasing records. "Nomen est omen" as they say in latin so Wim only releases records that make him fall asleep at night. So I've asked him if I could have a go at it and he agreed. I succeeded in giving him a good night's rest with a 30-minute piece called Ruis (a dutch word for the sound, made by wind in the trees or waves on a shore), composed in november 2009. You can check out the music here.

Textura
