If you are a friend of drone/ambient/experimental music, now it’s a time to grab two beautiful records simultaneously. Equal Stones (Amandus Schaap) is offering these two titles, “Hands Of A Murderer” and “Transgression” as a vinyl bundle just for €16 + shipping. Purchasing this bundle almost felt like a robbery.. Beautiful records and this bundle is still available from his Bandcamp. Recommended!

“Hands Of A Murderer” is mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri and contains guest appearances by Benoit Pioulard, Evert Kramer and Endless Melancholy. Really worth the money spent.

hey, glad you liked the music:) Basically, these two tracks are just an intro and an outro of an album respectively, this explains why they are that short. Overall, the album consists of 10 tracks (5 tracks per LP side) and the total length is nearly 43 minutes.

73%! Really going ahead...

65% funded!

Oh and yes - Endless Melancholy Facebook page for regular updates and fundraiser completion status https://www.facebook.com/emelancholy

A fundraiser campaign for vinyl edition of an upcoming Endless Melancholy - "Fragile" album has been launched. This is the first single from an album, which is supposed to be released until the end of 2014. "Wherever" and "Somewhere" will be an opener and a closer of an album respectively.

By purchasing this single you're helping me to fund the vinyl edition! The album is actually already recorded, but its release date depends on how fast I'll be able to collect the amount of money needed to make it happen. The faster I have the necessary amount, or at least a big part of it - the sooner I'll be able to order the production.

Every donation is a small step toward the goal and is highly appreciated.

Everyone, who donates 25$ and more will receive some pleasant benefits:
1) His name listed in "Special thanks" section to an album, both on digital release page and on a physical package;
2) Free digital download of a full Endless Melancholy - "Fragile" album two weeks before the actual release date;
3) A LP sent to his address once everything is done with no additional expenses.

Thank you all!
 

Check this record out! Recommended if you like Saåad, Black Swan, Barn Owl, ambient drone etc.

Equal Stones - Transgression (Hidden Vibes HV025, 2014)
Stream/Download/ LP purchase link - http://hiddenvibes.bandcamp.com/album/transgression



"Transgression" is a third release on Hidden Vibes by Amandus Schaap, an ambient producer from the Netherlands also active on the Myosotis project.

When Amandus put together the setlist to this release he had a lot of tracks already finished, laying about. He decided to go with a drone theme this time around. The tracks on Transgression are mainly built up from multilayered synths accompinied with a lot of microsounds, statics, vinyl sampling, scrapes and minimal guitar textures, alot of these slightly hidden in the high register. There are some vocal patterns holding the melody in place, but most of the experience is built upon textures.

The idea for the title of the third track, Reject All You Have Learned, comes from a quote of one of musician's favorite philisophers Emil M. Cioran. "Chaos is rejecting all you have learned, chaos is being yourself." This track is a lenghty experiment in which Amandus tries to give form to the chaos he experiences in life.


This album really shines when you take off your headphones and listen to the tracks on a well equipped stereo setup.

The vinyl version of Transgression comes on virgin 180 grams vinyl, and comes in a gatefold sleeve with beautiful artwork designed and produced by Tessel Dekker.
