Whitelabrecs

We have a new interview up on Ambient Visions with Harry Towell the owner of the Whitelabrecs netlabel out of the #UK which focuses on ambient, atmospheric, experimental music. @whitelabrecs.bsky.social www.ambientvisions.com/whitelabrecs... You don't want to miss this one.

Do you remember my album with Martijn Pieck called A STORM IS ANY DISTURBED STATE OF ENVIRONMENT that was released digitally on @whitelabrecs.bsky.social some time ago?
Shimmering Moods Records now did a small run of CDs. They are handmade and numbered. If you want one just drop me line!

Thanks so much for sharing and for your kind words @listeninghabit.bsky.social - really appreciate it :)
