"So this is the mindset I am in right now, which, again, is very open, I would visualise it as “bright”, if it makes any sense. Also reading Walt Whitman."

Home Diaires 017: the volume settings folder

Home Diaries is an invitation to artists and musicians to create an album or EP to document their personal experience during the lockdown or social distancing conditions that are upon us, due to the coronavirus outbreak. The series reflects a range of sounds, styles and ideas, as each artist portrays their own reflections uniquely. Each release is digital only for now, as we hope to raise what we can to help keep our label ticking over at this time. The releases feature a recurring polaroid image of a small lonely house, with a coloured filter chosen by the artist for each respective release. We interview each artist and this is included as a bonus PDF with the download. You can also check out the Home Diaries series on Spotify if you prefer, which will be available to stream in due course.

Our next Home Diaries release sees the volume settings folder join our catalog. M. Beckmann is from Padua in Italy and has amassed a large discography over the last few years, much of which he has self-released, but there have also been editions out on Oscarson, Static Reasons and Organic Industries.

His Home Diaries edition begins with melancholy layers of pseudo-blues guitar which slowly disintegrates into a bed of restful Ambience. The carefully layered beauty of each and every moment of this sound is underpinned by a new-found abundance of time, in which the artist was able to truly develop his ideas. There is a summertime haziness which gives the listener a sense of wide-open sun-bleached fields and a comfort to be found in sheer existence, not to be mistaken for sadness.
