Thick, melancholic and evocatively haunting soundscapes created entirely by guitar, the music of Sleeping Me employs a balance of delicacy, power and gentle reverb to present an affecting sound that’s resplendent in its warmth and fiery beauty. Lamenter, closely following stunning debut full-length Cradlesongs on celebrated Australian imprint Hidden Shoal Recordings, proves that Sleeping Me’s sound finds peace in even the most heartbreaking of circumstances, rarely has the devil’s instrument of choice sounded so heavenly.

It’s about time Phantom Channel issued something by Konntinent, aka London’s Antony J Harrison, as he also co-curates the label. Alas, he’s been busy recording for such esteemed labels including symbolic interaction, dynamophone, Serein and sonic pieces.

If I Could Buy A Map of Hope - Volume 2 appropriately acts as an extension to the inaugural record found on ace German boutique imprint sonic pieces. Like its predecesor ‘MOHv2’ is an exploration of organic, free range melody and process moulded textures — an argument of stasis and free form.

In the palette this time around are some glockenspiels, some vocals, some splicing, some dicing and some dancing. Across 8 compositions ‘MOHv2’ touches various musical bases including Post-Rock, Soundscapes, Drone, Broken Vocal Songwriting and even Techno.

A must have for fans of Pan•American, The For Carnation and Kid A style fragmentary.

Eyes Flutter Beneath is keen netaudio student Harry Towell. Having released music as Audio Gourmet, straddling the various degrees of Ambient, through the likes of Webbed Hand Records, Towell now turns his attention to Phantom Channel, for his self-styled new direction of Bio-drone.

Inside The Dream Laboratory is designed for low-volume consumption, when sleep isn't necessary but, instead a natural, unhurried occurrence. Humans are said to spend an average of 6 years dreaming in their lifespan. Scientists have proposed many theories as to why it exists, without ever determining a definitive answer.

It's this psyche Towell intends to tap into, coiling deeply personal field recordings of a biological nature round peaceful, unpolished ambient textures to reveal a pure human element towards a genre that often strays in the other direction.

Of course…

Wo0 is the founding member of the Belgrade Noise Society, a small group of artists doing some strange things with the medium of sound. As an avant-guitarist Wo0, who has honed his art by performing with the likes of Fennesz, has christened his style as Sky-Noise.

Utilising his guitar as a receiver of signals, Wo0 captures the frequencies from radios, computers, media players, remote controls, phones and other inventive mobile devices to create a very subtle, harmonic, deep and oscillating sound.

His attempt to amplify the air has resulted in With The Flowered Mind a quite brilliant addition to the Phantom Channel catalogue.

Stray Ghost - A House of Gold And Oak (PHCH005)

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3017/3056686242_7dfb90f692_m.jpg

Following hot on the heels of two stellar records released on Dead Pilot Recordsand Highpoint Lowlife respectively, Stray Ghost delivers the monolithic ''A House of Gold and Oak" for Phantom Channel's 5th webrelease

Ghost is one Ant Saggers, who constructs deep drone steeped in a haunted melancholia. His music often teeters on the brink of oblivion, where throbbing pulses of sound and other sonic rumblings are in danger of consuming everything they touch. Yet, as this piece proves, his slowly intensifying sound exudes a sense of hope and optimism amidst the darkness as we are unwittingly led down an increasingly plaintive orchestral path.

'A House of Gold and Oak' unfurls majestically over almost twenty minutes, touching on cornerstones including tangerine dream and godspeed you black emperor and finds Stray Ghost operating in a Symphonic-Drone stratosphere all to his own.

According to Archive.Org, Elisa Luu's Floating Sounds has been downloaded a staggering 845 times. If you add the number of downloads via Last Fm and our website the Italian composer is currently touch around an incredible 1,000 downloads.

This is an unbelievable success, considering the fact that Ms Luu has only been hosted on Archive.Org for a few weeks. Phantom Channel would like to thank all those who checked Floating Soundsout and long may it continue.

For those who haven't yet heard this wonderful 4-tracker, it's free and still readily available:

Recording as Elisa Luu, Elisabetta is the Rome based composer behind these 4 tracks which so delicately fuse flute, saxophone and guitar with computer generated effects providing a spectrum of hopeful, sensitive and subtle melodies.

It's not very often that we can stumble across music so steeped in digital production which retains human qualities such as grace and hope but Luciani…
