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.

Perfectly formed ear-worm melodies are stretched and bent into new improvised shapes as electric and acoustic instruments weave decorously in and out of each other’s orbits, accompanied by startling solo preludes or intersecting excerpts of experimental field recordings or found sound.

The spacious music wears its influences on its sleeve - there’s Ry Cooder in there, Ennio Morricone, too, and an echo of Geir Sundstøl’s own recent solo masterwork, ‘Brødlos’, whose recording venue of Studio Intim (Sundstøl’s home-studio in Oslo) ‘Bedehus & Hawaii' shared - but there’s no straining for effect.

Everything seems to fall quite naturally into place, sounding intimately poised and at home with itself. Whatever the musical references, and however long you might take to enumerate the...  more
