Presenting ... Modified by Inertia (waag_rmx002) by Christopher Alvarado





Back in 27 May 2014 waag release “Creation By Inertia (waag_rel052)” by Christopher Alvarado … an album I consider a remarkable recording and one I was proud to release on weareallghosts.

I am extremely grateful to Christopher Alvarado for the opportunity to release “Modified by Inertia (waag_rmx002)”, a series of remixes of tracks from the original album along with a brand new track from Alvarado entitled “An Eternity of Eyes”.

The remixes themselves demonstrate the broad church that is our ambient music scene: from Silentport’s Stirring In the Forever mix of “I Can't Take Time” with the infectious vocals of Lory Fayer to the ambience of M.Nomized’s Sankirtana mix of "Respiration" and the serenity of William Spivey’s Deep Sink mix of "Whirlpool in Reality"; we have a feast of new music. We also have wonderfully unique and creative mixes from some talented musicians - Delicate Apparatus, Ade Hodges, Symatic Star, and Mystified - to feed our ears and inspire our waking hours.

This is an album to get lost in, one that works well on it’s own but sounds fantastic when queued with “Creation By Inertia (waag_rel052)” - play the original then the remix, as the mighty Rebekkah Hilgraves did recently on her Stillstream show, and you’ll hear what I mean.

I really do hope you will get lost in "Modified By Inertia (waag_rmx002)"!

An MP3 version of this album is available for free on Archive or a lossless version available on Bandcamp for 'pay what you want' which does include £0 ... and remember, paying supporters on Bandcamp also get unlimited mobile access to the album using the free Bandcamp listening app.

If you do decide to download this album for free then all we ask in return is that you tell your friends, tweet a link or post it on Facebook, write a review and spread the word.

Presenting ... Creation By Inertia (waag_rel052) by Christopher Alvarado





Creation By Inertia (waag_rel052) by Christopher Alvarado is a remarkable recording, one I am proud to release on weareallghosts.

I am extremely grateful to Christopher Alvarado for the opportunity to release this album. It is, like all music released on waag, music I want to listen to.

Creation By Inertia (waag_rel052) features my kind of sounds - soundscapes that incorporate deliciously progressive percussion with sci-fi synths and otherworldly ambience to create trance-like states of reckless abandon. This album is full of truly immersive soundscapes, the type that sound great on a hi-fi or in a quality pair of headphones. This is music to get lost in.

It is important for me to acknowledge the work of Thomas Park in the mastering of this recording, and the lovely artwork of Sheleah Nahshon which was used expertly in the front cover layout by Simon Walsh. Thank you all for making Creation By Inertia (waag_rel052) what it is.

I really do hope you will get lost in Creation By Inertia (waag_rel052) too!

Presenting... "Translucence (waag_rrl002)" by Christopher Alvarado





"Translucence (waag_rrl002)" is only our second rereleased album on weareallghosts ... rereleased because it is simply that good.

Christopher Alvarado is a talented musician who has a vision for ambient music that I share and deeply admire ... he creates truly immersive soundscapes with synths and guitars, vocals and percussion, that have an otherworldliness about them that is simply intoxicating.

Alvarado's hypnotic headphone music is an utter treat, one that I have partaken of in recent days and one that I welcome to weareallghosts.

I hope you will enjoy this rerelease as much as I do? I look forward to hearing more from Alvarado.

An MP3 version of this album is available for free on Archive or a lossless version available on Bandcamp for 'pay what you want' which does include £0 ... and remember, paying supporters on Bandcamp also get unlimited mobile access to the album using the free Bandcamp listening app. Any profits from monies raised will go directly to the artist.

If you do decide to download this album for free then all we ask in return is that you tell your friends, tweet a link or post it on Facebook, write a review and spread the word.

Presenting ... "The Gallery of Time (waag_sng006)" by Christopher Alvarado & Stephen Briggs





I totally missed this track. It was intended for our recent end-of-year compilation and it got bogged down in my inbox.

I am so sorry to Christopher Alvarado and Stephen Briggs for my oversight ... and to make it up to them I've decided to release it as a free single.

That said, I am also releasing it because it is a superb piece of music ... a track where two distinct musicians have come together to make something new and unique ... a synergy, so to speak, and a fabulous one at that.

This is the kind of ambient music that weareallghosts was brought into being to support ... and I am proud to do so ... albeit 16 days later than I should have.

Enjoy.

Tx
