magoski There's no place to hide so let me confide
possibly coincide
w/ a shift
a single planetary breath of hope
-
resilience is possibility love listening
to children playing because somewhere beneath everything beneath empire beneath fear beneath the trembling water that is scared the sacred motion continues quietly & endlessly
the river flows always to the sea just as the sea always returns to the sky just as the sky always dances with wind

Ur Trommler truly spectacular, so multi-facted and so many wonderful sounds all meshing and winding around each other in a beautiful cohesive world... highly recommended, I'll be listening to this with headphones soon so I can get closer to the depth of it...
Favorite track: Harmless Light.

__________________________

Paperbark is the ambient project of Jon Mulville, who has been shaping rhythmic and textural soundscapes since 2016. His music is rooted in memory, as a way to process emotional fragments. Guided by time spent in nature and created in response to a culture that often feels lacking empathy, his work aims to create space for reflection.
He has released eight albums, primarily on Seil Records. "Light Behind Me" marks his first CD release and only his second appearance on vinyl.


“Light Behind Me” is a way of staying close. It’s a conversation across time, a path illuminated by someone no longer here but never truly gone. To my friend Anthony, this is how I keep you close."
