From Overseas & City of Dawn - Misty Memories (2022)

Kévin Séry (From Overseas) and Damien Duque (City of Dawn) are ambient artists who decided to make some music together and the first instance of their cooperation brought fantastic results. Misty Memories is an album that presents fairy-tale-like, calm soundscapes to smooth the every-day existence of each of us.

The ambient here is smooth and warm like a thick carpet. But there's also a lot of going on within this dense structure, a lot of lively micro sounds living there. It is all structured with acoustic sounds of guitar and tons of noisy backgrounds. The release breathes with calm and peace, it's a well a listener can draw those from in the form of beautiful music that is complex and simple at the same time.

Misty Memories costs 6 USD.

City of Dawn - As the Universe, So the Soul (2022)

Damien Duque creates so many things, very often cooperating with other artists, like it was the case on Wander performed with zakè, the album he appeared on this blog with two years ago. This year, the Texas-based artist released, among many other things, this beautiful album called As the Universe, So the Soul.

As the title suggests, the music here feels very spiritual. The ambient soundscapes have very meditation-inducing abilities and this is certainly not a coincidence as the artist himself states that his music "will invite you into a meditational estate that is self-exploring" and this journey "can lead toward healing". The way the mind floats and relaxes while listening to this music, is certainly the most important thing about the album. But it can also be tear-jerkingly beautiful if you can submerge yourself within those waves.

As the Universe, So the Soul costs 7 USD.

zakè & City of Dawn - Wander (2020) EN

zakè is an artist from Indianapolis, fan of ambient and the creator of Past Inside the Present label, City of Dawn on the other hand is a moniker of Damien Duque from Texas. Both met on this extremely moody split called Wander.

The album is made of three tracks. The first, title track, is the result of their collaboration that made way for this long soundscape that strikes with peace and infects with balance. No wonder the artists themselves label it as "an expression of slowing down". The second track of this album written during a freezing winter is made by zakè, the third by Duque, both in the same, slow and ambient atmosphere.

Wander costs whatever you want to pay.

zakè & City of Dawn - Wander (2020) PL

zakè to artysta z Indianapolis, wielbiciel ambientu i założyciel labelu Past Inside the Present, City of Dawn to z kolei pseudonim sceniczny Damien Duque z Teksasu. Obaj spotkali się na niezwykle nastrojowym splicie zatytułowanym Wander.

Płytka to trzy kawałki. Pierwszy, tytułowy, to ich współpraca, która zaowocowała długim soundscape'em uderzającym spokojem i zarażającym równowagą. Nic dziwnego, że cały album reklamowany jest przez artystów jako "ekspresję zwalniania". Drugi utwór tej napisanej mroźną zimą materiału to utwór zakè, trzeci Duque, oba w tych samych, powolnie ambientowych klimatach.

Wander kosztuje tyle, ile chcesz zapłacić.
