Original album description:
Pause the world for a moment and let yourself sink into some sound.
The nine tracks on 'Under a Chilly Sun' are ambient soundscapes created with an ever-growing Eurorack synthesizer system, tongue drum and electric guitar fed through a looper, delay and reverb. Released on Shimmering Moods Records in Amsterdam November 10th, 2023.
The album artwork is an oil painting by Philip Holmes, my brother, called 'View over Öresund'. 'Under a Chilly Sun' takes its inspiration from this seascape painting which evokes the grey and sun-starved landscape of autumn in Scandinavia. In the distance through the haze and mist you can see the iconic building 'Turning Torso', the city of Malmö's tallest building twisting towards the sky.
I'm a musician based in southern Sweden. Formerly exclusively a blues and rock guitarist, I dove into the world of ambient music and synthesizers about a year before the pandemic and never looked back. I now record and release my music through labels on Bandcamp and perform live locally in Malmö.
Thank you for listening,
JRH
