2012's 'Random Friday' is one of the most popular Solar Fields albums ...and here it comes back to life again, as usual with a state of the Art remastering by Robert Elster @Elster Mastering and revamped in a 6 panels digipak CD in case you missed the original compact disc edition (as well as treated for the first time for a vinyl release).
Six panels digipak CD
The quest for a complete Solar Fields reissue collection continues here at Sidereal, and this time we bring back to light the first installments in Magnus Birgersson’s unfinished tracks archive.
Origin #01, originally released in 2010, was the first compilation of Solar Fields finished unfinished pieces. A series of audio stems born in various periods of time, in this case from 2002 to 2008, then completed and refined.
Such a genesis makes the Origin series something different in the Solar Fields catalog, as the usual consistency and unity of Magnus’s studio albums is nowhere to be found here, in favor of a multi-faceted, various and fragmented approach. Every track is completely different from the other, and you never know what’s lying behind the next corner. Every note sounds 101% Solar Fields, but the spectre covered by Origin #01 was an entirely different width compared to what the Swedish producer released until that moment.

Describing his ideas behind "F(OUR) WARD", EdleyODowd notices that the combination of sound and visuals were “essential to delivering a message”- points out Edley talking about his foray into new territory.
“I wanted to create something of nightmares and bliss” explains EdleyODowd when asked to discuss the combination of visuals and sound presented on his latest solo release "F(OUR) WARD".
ODowd, a long-time veteran of various musical scenes, has collaborated and performed with many musical luminaries (Genesis P-Orridge, Deborah Harry, LeneLovich, Tony Conrad, Shilpa Ray), as well as being a member of Toilet Boys, Psychic TV, Kylesa and his brand-new death rock band Scorpion Tea.
Initially released as an ultra-limited cassette release via Flesh Prison/DeathBed Tapes, "F(OUR) WARD" is coming out in the rest of the world via 13, as an extended version featuring three bonus tracks and expanded artwork by ODowd. “I am proud to present what I consider to be the complete version of this art and music”, stresses Edley, talking about the unity of two inseparable components of his creativity. “The video clips that accompany these songs are designed to be trance-induced launchpads for the audio and vice-versa” – admits ODowd: “A world within our own, in which we can see and hear new and exciting things”. The videos accompanying the release of "F(OUR) WARD" were shot on various locations in Mexico and Colombia, ODowd’s goal was to present a visual environment one could listen to the music within.
Five years ago, back in September 2016, Stefano Gentile published a photographic book entitled IL SILENZIO DEI TUOI PASSI (The Silence of Your Steps), which collected a series of 56 pictures, both in b/w and colour, dedicated to the nights in Venice. The book was a journey through the most remote "calli" and "campi" (streets, alleys and squares, as they're called in Venice) in search of the true 'breath' of the city, far away from the hordes of tourists who 'attack' it every day during daylight hours.
On such occasion, renowned musician Gigi Masin composed a 30 minutes epic ambient track entitled VENEZIA 2016 which was the perfect soundtrack to the images included in the book. The track was published on CD and released bounded with the book itself in a limited edition of 480 copies only, and has been unavailable for years now.
In 2021 Gigi Masin returned to that great piece of music and to its timeless sounds. Finally, Silentes can now offer PLAYS VENEZIA, Masin's latest work contanining a re-edited version of that 'pearl', accompanied by two unreleased tracks composed and recorded in the same period.
Once again inspired by the city, Masin created an enduring and wonderful ambient masterpiece, a sort of return to the origins, to his home. Adding to the intrinsic quality of the originals, the tracks were beautifully mastered by Brandenburg Mastering in Amsterdam.
PLAYS VENEZIA is simply an unmissable release and one of Masin's greatest accomplishment in a long carrier that never ceases to amaze us.
Cigno is an emerging artist from Rome, delving into the depths of dark ambient, industrial, and ritualistic music. Drawing inspiration from ancient traditions, somber atmospheres, and the emotional landscape of grief and mourning, Cigno crafts a soundscape that is both haunting and captivating.
"Morte e Pianto Rituale" is Cigno's debut album, a work steeped in the themes of death and ritual mourning. The album weaves together layers of deep ambient sounds, atmospheric drones, and percussive elements to create an immersive experience. It stands as a meditation on the solemnity of death, the cycles of loss, and the catharsis found in ritual. Each track builds an evolving soundscape, incorporating elements like field recordings, drone tones, and tribal percussion. Cigno's music invokes an almost cinematic quality, resembling a sonic ritual that guides listeners through the emotional states of grief, introspection, and release.
