New Full Length from KUWAHARA

The latest release from my project KUWAHARA (w/Mike Honeycutt) will be available in December. It's been over a year since our last full length Kandyheart Afghan was released. Currently we are mastering tracks, and working on artwork (title TBA). Those familiar with the mighty K will undoubtedly embrace this release and revel in its sonic assault and unwavering bleakness. Not to say this is a one trick pony, on the contrary; this full length straddles the drone/dark ambient realms, yet utilizes influences from other post electronic genres bending them in such a way that they intermingle with senses. This will truly be an emotional audible experience to say the least. More info to come. Join the Kult.

Kuwahara - Kandyheart Afghan Now Available

Kandyheart Afghan, the third release from Kuwahara, reveals the duo's fondness for bleak atmospheres and tortured electronics. Kuwahara continues head-first into the abyss with no signs of turning back. Purposely avoiding the white walls of sound from early pioneers of noise and dark ambient that influenced them, they instead focus on texture and melancholic passages to move their audience with a wretched grace rather than brute force. Make no mistake; this album is a pummeling slab of tectonic movements and soundscapes, much like their previous installments. This however, dwells in a realm of nightmare and abandoned hope.

Dan Miñoza & M. Peck - Like Hemlock Now Available

The debut album from Dan Miñoza and M. Peck is a masterwork of isolated kinetics, turgid textures and vast dynamics drawing the listener in with stark minimalism and dark ambient atmospheres coupled with sparse sound design.
These collected works were inspired by the novelist Charles Bukowski and photographer Sally Mann, from whom both Miñoza and Peck draw much influence.
The album was recorded from August 2011 through December 2011, then later mixed and mastered by Peck at Audio Propulsion Labs in January of 2012. The result is an intimate voyage into the abyss with two of today's most diverse independent ambient musicians.

This album can be streamed and downloaded here in various formats with the option to name your price. Thank you and enjoy.

M. Peck-Bodies To The Sky

"Ethereal Live returns with its second release with ambient electronic stalwart M.Peck and a stunning live album called “Bodies To The Sky”. M.Peck, aka Michael Peck, is well known in the ambient and electronic communities as a solo artist, as one half of the duo Mahoney & Peck, his label Waiting World Records, and for a plethora of live performances around the U.S that include The Gatherings, City Skies, Star’s End, Electro-Music, and many more.
If you have ever seen Michael Peck play live, you know the powerful force of sound this musician can create in a space. Whether it is laptop, synthesizers, Theremin, or guitar, Michael Peck has an energy that cannot be ignored. Ethereal Live has had the pleasure of seeing this musician perform many times and each performance is always an impressive and unique set of twists and turns in sound that never repeat themselves. This live set is no exception.
Originally recorded live on Stillstream.com on January 30, 2010, “Bodies To The Sky” is a sweeping romp through several sub-genres of ethereal music. Listeners will find a grand mixture of light floating ambient drifts that sink into pools of darkness only to spill over into a multi-dimensional plateau of deep space sounds and then do it all over again. “Bodies To The Sky” stores it’s brilliance in its subtleties and fans of all genres of ambient music will find something quite worthy of their time.
Performed, Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by M.Peck at Audio Propulsion Labs in June of 2011. The amazing artwork for this album is by Frank Pacini. Ethereal Live is very proud to release M.Peck “Bodies To The Sky” as a free Creative Commons download for all to enjoy."
