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.

Rhode & Brown - Good Things Come To Those That Fade (Slam City Jams)

WHAT YOUR EARS SAY & THE COVER LOOKS LIKE

WHAT WE SAY

​With their house music activities not making much sense in a living room environment due to a Covid lockdown, Rhode & Brown decided to think outside of the dancefloor box to great rhythmic ambient and slowtronic effect for Slam City Jams.
Tune in, turn on and chill out.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY

On the "Good Things Come To Those Who Fade" Mini-LP, we take a left turn with seven oddball ambient and downtempo tracks made for kicking back in the cold months ahead. 

We produced these tunes over the period of a few weeks in December 2020, between finishing songs for our debut album. At the time, we were both at home in lockdown and creatively stuck producing music for the dancefloor. So we rather unconsciously started writing music without expectations or a specific formula, which was very liberating. We started looking for unusual parts and tiny sounds on records from our vinyl collection, which we then time-stretched, pitched, deconstructed and looped endlessly. With these strange loops (they could be instruments, percussive elements or just noises) as a foundation, we started jamming with synthesizer melodies and effects using our Prophet 6, the Korg M1, and a few plug-ins, as well as random vocal material from YouTube. Aside from regaining that musical freedom and working with a naive beginner's mind, it was an incredibly soothing process for the soul during the tough time in lockdown. We hope the music has the same effect on you. 

In addition to the digital release, the album will also be available as a limited edition cassette that comes with a premium „Good Night“ tea for endless relaxation.
