about

A tingling air of excitement and wonder envelopes us amidst this season of magic. Seasonal Diary III: Curious Enchantment brings together eight artists to capture the sounds of summer, where long days brim with possibility. Every turn from dawn to dusk presents the allure of a new adventure; resplendent awe awaits.

Starting our day, “hey where did you go?” finds Loris. S. Sarid mixing incoherent words with honeysuckle kisses that ooze the sweet, golden warmth of sunrise. Moving into the early hours of the day with Sam Prekop’s “Nearly,” one can imagine fairies gently shaking the world awake. Sounds are built with delicate lustre, where sparkling synth trickles down like glassy beads of dew on grass. We’re soon taken on a mystical voyage to an island filled with shape-shifting birds and colorful trees. Grykë Pyje tinkers with surrealist soundscapes on “Covert Sounds from Secret Mounds,” and otherworldly realms are brought to vivid life.

A warm afternoon rain soon emerges, and “Imber” is ushered in with a sweeping array of ricochets and silver-casted echoes. Yves De Mey incorporates recordings of rain hitting metal, while the sun splashes through in high tones. This bouncing movement leads us to “Glas,” where Vic Bang playfully captures a lively palette of sounds and melodies that sing and whizz through the air with joyful energy.

That energy builds into a particular type of tension. Written during a heatwave, Rutger Zuydervelt’s “Never Return (Kaleiding Outtake)” captures that paradox of tiredness and restlessness one feels in extreme heat. Soothing pads offer moments of pensive observance, while metallic percussive brushes clash and rattle. The fluster of movement washes away with Nicolas Snyder’s entrancing “Moon Bath Ritual.” Made on the night of a full moon, the gentle sway of water and drone-like, mumbled chants conjure the magic of cyclical ritual. This ritual leads us to the denouement of a summer’s day with the midnight lullaby, “The Juncos' Nest.” Patricia Wolf offers a sweet ode to these dark-eyed birds who live outside her home, capturing a dark-edged, bittersweet solace between sparse, supernatural synth spells.

Across all eight tracks, discovery, observation, and imagination take sonic form. The compilation is a coalescence of vivid imagery—memories recollected and imagined—that invite the listener to explore with fascination this scintillating time of year.
