ELMET BRAE Compilation Release

November 20, 2023

Elmet Brae Compilation cover art by Rostiger

November 20th was the release of Elmet Brae, a community compilation of soundscapes/ambient/noise/drone from Merveilles Town members and friends. It includes an ambient piece I recorded while traveling in the national forests of the northwestern US, titled Artemisia Grove.

The online community of Merveilles Town has been a calm, creative haven for me on the internet, and a place of mutual inspiration and encouragement, since I joined the mastodon server in 2022. It has been lovely to listen to everyone's musical contributions to this compilation and appreciate the town's unique personality and atmosphere.

Shout outs to Orllewin for organizing the project, Bad Diode for mastering, Rostiger for the visual artwork, and to all the sonic artists and musicians who contributed.
