<=> A spacious contrasting set of auditory serenity. The two equate to two different sound mandelas with different tonal hues and textures, one darker then the other. Pause and settle in for an sound oasis of rest...Enjoy

Brian Bourassa A stark juxtaposition between dark and light, danger and safety. Steve Brand produces a 2 CD epic here as his 4th release on his own label thus far this year, and I am looking forward to all that has yet to come for the remainder of the year as well.

Richard Gürtler This Kansan soundsculptor is one of the giant forces on the drone ambient scene. Steve Brand has a genius for powerfully transcendental soundcarving, meticulously amalgamating massively emerging unfathomable dronewalls, both diaphanous and prodigious, yet always ear-piercing discharges, enigmatically embracing acoustic insignias, subterranean voices, balmy organics, all thrillingly counterpointed with splendorous glimpses of graceful stillness. A real tour de force within the genre!!!

about

Tracks:
Sanctuary (disk 1) | Place Of Honoring (inner temple) | 68:43
Sanctuary (disk 2) | Place Of Unconditional Love And Acceptance (valley) | 58:01

Sanctuary is two long form organic atmospheres of gongs, bells, voice, didgeridoo, field recordings and keyboards.

“As a whole, on Sanctuary, I hear a music that is at once grand and closely intimate. Gigantic universal swells and slow churnings deliver the spirit to the quieter moments of solitude with a sense of place and reality as insinuated by field recordings of the natural world. Disc one is engulfing and enveloping, while Disc two is inviting and introspective. The sanctuary here; in this music, is the union of the personal with the impersonal. The sanctuary becomes not a a static physical place where rituals are performed or prayers are whispered; but a state where the mind, body, spirit, and heart find contentment.” - Roy Mattson

“Sanctuary, the place of honoring, love and acceptance, resides within the inner temple of one’s self.” - Unknown

Thanks to Roy Mattson, Mark Seelig, Geoff Small, Jill, Nadja, Miette and LooLoo Brand, for the support and encouragement.
