New Release: Forest Management 'Slices'

12/22/2018

FOREST MANAGEMENT - SLICES
'Slices' is a collection of recordings made on a Sony TC-200 reel-to-reel tape machine in October 2018. After losing two Macbooks in a row this year John Daniel [Forest Management] decided to reconnect with the reel-to-reel, an instrument that was an integral part of his beginnings of Forest Management. He ultimately realized how much he had missed the imperfections, the rawness, and the warmth. Slices is the result of this realization. The physical version of this release was a cassette that He only made seven copies of. Pieces of autumn leaves taped to white j-cards, with gold tapes.

Released December 22, 2018
Recorded on a Sony TC200 reel-to-reel and mixed on laptop, October 2018.

New Release: Hilyard 'Mercy Within'

12/21/2018

HILYARD - MERCY WITHIN
This album was created in a solar powered forest cabin during the desolate winter months. Comfort for dark nights, cold isolation and fuel for gazing pensively into the fire. Another chapter in Hilyard's ongoing musical journey to find some peace of mind in this world. Layers of his own grief and regret slowly peel away with this music to reveal the mercy and self forgiveness that lies within.

Released December 21, 2018 on Stereoscenic Records [SCENE-26]
Written and Produced by Bryan Hilyard
Vocals - Angela Klimek (Poemme) - "From Omens"
Mastered by Andrew J Klimek
