On Tokafi, Relmic Statute talks about his Morning tapes album, his search for melodies in natural sound as well his techniques of creating music.

Haruki’s “White meadow” will be played on this weeks Mixtuur show on national Belgium radio Klara. The show will be broadcast on Thursday 1st April at 22:00 hrs.

Just wanted to share this beautiful mix from Zaphod Beta hosted on Soundcloud which features a couple of tracks from the hibernate catalogue.

Late April should see a new album from Talvihorros titled “Music in four movements”. The album features four lengthy tracks mastered by Ian Hawgood and the CD comes packaged in a beautiful digipak (the future for all hibernate album releases) designed by Jordan Chatwin. It will be limited to 200 copies but there will also be a digital version available via Itunes etc. I will make a release page for it soon and will post samples. There will also be a bandcamp page at some point so you can stream the album for free.

Erik kindly shared some pictures from his recent London – Cambridge – Hebden Bridge – Manchester – London tour. All photos taken with the hipstamatic app on an iphone. Click here to see them.

Hakobune’s late spring from Isohel is featured on last weeks Sismografo show on national Spanish radio 3. You can listen to the show here.

My apologies to everyone that pre-ordered, the M. Ostermeier CD is delayed due to postal issues again. Hopefully it should be shipping this time next week. I failed to learn the lesson of pre-order from the last time.

The new Duckbay compilation “Sing” looks like it will be out soon and it’s got some great artists contributing including Simon James French, Ian Hawgood and Hakobune. Keep an eye on the Duckbay website as copies of this will sell pretty fast.
