\u2018minimal ambient music using a variety of digitally manipulated sounds sourced from a variety of acoustic and electronic instruments\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\u2018Ether\u2019 can refer to different things: \u2018the clear sky; the upper regions of air beyond the clouds\u2019, \u2018air regarded as a medium for radio\u2019,<\/em> (as well as to the chemical substances such as diethyl ether, but this is not the ether Michael Cottone<\/em><\/strong> is referring to). He defines his music as \u2018ephemeral in nature\u2019: <\/em>[the music is] \u2018brought in to existence from nothingness. They drift into the listener\u2019s space, evolve over time, and drift off like clouds on the wind\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\nWhile this is a great description of the music itself, which floats and drifts like breaths of fresh air, it also feels like an understatement: this music will not \u2018drift off like clouds on the wind\u2019<\/em>. It will linger with you and you will return to it in the future. Which, after all, is not possible with clouds.<\/p>\nEther Hymns<\/em><\/strong> is physically released in an edition of 100 LPs. The first batch of CDs were quickly sold out, but there\u2019s an additional batch of 50 still available.<\/p>\n(A note about shipping: in the past, Dronarivm releases were shipped from Russia, which sometimes resulted in legal problems with the orders. Currently, orders are shipped from Amsterdam so that problem is solved now.)<\/p>\n
