<\/a><\/figure>\nThe music community at large has always been one to come together in times of hardship and need. Over the dozen or so years of editing this blog, I have certainly seen that to be true of the spaces I follow. And though the empathy and generosity that represents should never be taken for granted, it should come as no surprise that we are beginning to see numerous songs and compilations being released to help support those affected by the devastating fires in Los Angeles, California. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n One of these projects may be of particular interest to anyone who follows the kinds of music covered here. For LA Vol.1<\/strong> and Vol.2<\/strong> comprise no less than 65 tracks of previously unreleased music from a long list of ambient, electronic, and modern classical artists. The team behind the project is Hollie Kennith<\/strong>, who curated the music, and Keith Kennith<\/strong> (Goldmund, Helios) who mastered most of the tracks. All proceeds from these releases, less a small administrative cost, will support <\/strong>We Are Moving the Needle<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>and Give Directly<\/strong><\/a> which are frontline organizations dedicated to relief and recovery for families affected by the fires.<\/p>\n From a listener\u2019s perspective, these albums remind me of the great compilation records that first sparked my interest in these styles of music years ago and became early lexicons of discovery. Whether you are a long-time follower of introspective and experimental instrumental music or just embarking on your own journey of discovery, these albums have a lot to offer while offering a modicum of much needed help to a devastated community. See below for more information, links, and preview selections. <\/p>\n
