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.

Oberlin - Stundenglas (Self Release)

What Your Ears Say & The Cover Looks Like


What We Say

Looking out of the window at another grey & dispiritingly rainy day; contemplating my vitamin D reserves & potential ark living; the tape faded melancholy & neoclassical teasing ambient sounds of Oberlin soundtracking the trickling of time are the perfect, if somewhat accentuating, accompanying score.

What The Release Notes Say

The hourglas (Stundenglas) visualizes the slow trickling of time. It is like a daydream (Tagtraum), which evokes passed moments fleetingly. Memories of children´s games (Kinderspiele) appear in an old room full of dusty books (Bücherstaub). Blue hydrangeas (Blaue Hortensien) standing in a vase on the window sill, next to them there lies a letter to Gertrud (An Gertrud), which is written on a paper of nearly the same colour as the flowers. In the furnace wet splinters (Feuchte Späne) are drying to enlighten the next fire. Adieu


An album of memories, recorded with a piano, a guitar and a modular eurorack synth in November/December 2017 in Oberlin´s home-studio in Koblenz, Germany.

Music and artwork by Alexander Holtz
