Evolution
This composition tells the story of our planet Earth using selected sounds from the planets changing soundscape. It takes us from the firey birth of the planet, through the storms that created the oceans, the age of the dinosaurs and the breaking up of the glaciers of the ice age, to the sounds of humans, their agriculture, industry, and technology. It reminds us of the power of nature and that we, ultimately are a part of it- imparting the message that we must listen to nature and pay attention to the changing Soundscape, because if we listen closely it is warning us that we may well be bringing about the demise of our species through our own actions. Drawing from strong environmentalist principles and the ideologies of the school of Soundscape artists such as Hildergard Westerkamp and Murry R Schafer.
The Mind Transfer
This is the soundtrack to the process of being strapped into the bodyshop's mind transference chair and having the contents of your brain sucked out and infused into that of an embryo of your design and choice, situated next to you in a bubbling jar linked to the chair by a mass of tangled wires and tubes - as seen at Glastonbury Festival 2009.
Fire Mountain (Meditation Soundscape)
A one hour meditation soundscape recorded at the beautiful Firemountain retreat in Ganeshpuri, Maharashtra, India. All sounds used were recorded there on an iPhone. It starts with the morning Agnihotra ceremony, then yoga followed by monsoon showers during chai-time and ends with the sounds of frogs, birds and rain from the natural thermal hot-spring hot tub. Being there was a really healing and wonderful experience and I created this so I can close my eyes and be back there in the serene peace and beauty. I hope you will enjoy this and if you can go and visit Firemountain for yourself!

'We cannot cure the world of the disease of othering, but we can definitely try, and so we will'.
The Delhi based label brings together 13 club-ready trax from city residing artists, with all proceeds made going to support our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
Miss Kotton's contribution to the V/A is formed by acidic layers of amen breaks, constantly mutating with intrinsic melodies and rainforest sound effects. 100 MPH throughout on this one.
A message from the label;
'While this release is focussed on helping the people of Gaza, the plague of oppression and violence is not bound by geographies and runs deep within systems of imperialist, colonial and fascistic violence. We stand against such structures of power - whether in Gaza or closer home.
While this release is sadly curative, it is also optimistically preventive. Music heals and if we can help in healing even a part of the collective suffering of humanity then we shall strive to do so at any given level. In the light of the recent developments wherein increasing number of countries have stopped funding the UNRWA and their relief efforts towards Palestinians in Gaza, we would be donating all proceeds collected via this release to the @unrwa
Our expression of healing is through music and sound. We would like to extended our thanks to all the artists for their valuable contribution towards this healing. May this release bring a little peace to the world'.
