The Slow Music Movement Blog

​Mostly we put our daily recommendations here for the blog readers among you, although occasionally we go longform.
Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but you're better off just hitting play. Not very "slow" I know but there's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find the recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Lee Hannah - Mirror Reflections (Healthy Tapes)

What Your EArs Say & The Cover LOoks Like


What We Say

I can't think of a more suitable day job for an ambient music producer to have than as a librarian, in fact now I think about it I'm surprised there aren't more. So say a hushed hello to Lee Hannah and his good natured, bucolic, New Age Ambient transmission via Healthy Tapes which is hitting the easy listening Sunday sweet spot. But please show some respect and Ssshhhhhh when listening.

What The Release Notes Say

Lee Hannah is a Naarm-based librarian, artist and educator. Their practice involves a hybrid of field recordings, new age synthesis and ecological composition to create works inspired by environmental artists such as Hiroshi Yoshimura and Yoshio Ojima. Mirror Reflections, their debut album, showcases the artist’s rich explorations into environmental sound design, utilising field recordings and samples to produce compositions that embrace their role as ambient tone-setting music for daily tasks, while also provide enough texture and hue for those who desire to slowly absorb them.

Tracks like Day Spa and Sunset Traffic transport the listener into the complex ecological world, not just with bird sounds, but with the intricacy of movement, wind and the physiological facets of nature, while Telese Terme and Moss Acrylic play with the environment captured in sound, at times mimicking natural moments with soft synths and washed out saxophones. The resulting work, accompanied by it’s Malevich-esque artwork, is a new age juxtaposition of organic landscapes and digital commodities with neither overpowering each other - a sharp contrast to the anthropological and technological dominance irreparably shifting societies today.

This work was made on land rightfully owned by the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
