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.

never forget you're a terrifying freak - On Memory (Sapio Arts)

WHAT YOUR EARS SAY & THE COVER LOOKS LIKE

WHAT WE SAY

As the clouds start to darken the northern Portuguese skies & prepare to soak the land, this somewhat melancholic ambient EP from never forget you're a terrifying freak for Sapio Arts will sound just right as I look out the window and lose myself in solitary thoughts.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY

I recorded and produced On Memory over a few weeks in the middle of a Norwegian Winter. I wanted make music for moments of quiet isolation - those moments when we sit by ourselves and let thoughts turn to moments in the past. I think the sound brings with it a feeling of nostalgia. Music is really great at transporting us, giving us the feeling of the past. Sometime this feeling can be for some place or time that never existed. 

The artwork is taken from the Norwegian photographer Anders Beer Wilse, who lived and worked up until the 1940’s. The image of the seagull (måke) on night sky is a photographic slide that is hand coloured — a process that became obsolete with colour photography. I was drawn to the picture because of the colours and sparsness of the image. Fittingly for the EP hand colouring slides like this is style of art that has been lost to time. 

After releasing the first two singles, Faded Afternoon Heat and We Are See Through, "On Memory" has three new tracks. It's music for quiet contemplation, to put on in the background while you're sitting alone. Be transported to places of hazy nostalgia, lost memories and forgotten pasts.
