Global Warming on Mars 2130
Global Warming on Mars 2130 is the first in a series new Science Fiction / Theory single by Ocean in a Bottle asking the
simple question if mankind had to leave Earth after almost destroying our world
through global warming, would we make the same mistake for example if we moved
to Mars in slight echoey pianos over melting pole caps. The answer I suspect is
closer to reality than we may admit to ourselves.
Various artists - shorty music V Poiskah
DoDo & friends - May I be excused? (part V)
An experimental record label (from Russia I think) which is
releasing series of short albums with various acts releasing tracks under 1
minute and a half each. My track submitted ‘The South Pole from Space’ which
was a slightly different approach for what I usually do using field samples
mixed with space sounds that I have been known for. A number of other tracks
was recorded at the same time which may well appear in the future as a separate
single.
Two orbits of Pluto
One of the earlier singles recorded as Ocean in a Bottle in
Space but has remained unreleased until now for various reasons as the release
time wasn’t right. Two Orbits of Pluto is a journey of two long drones taking the listener on a sound journey of how it would feel to be going round
the planet in two long drone like orbits.
Building Bridges from Mars to the
Asteroid Belt
An old single actually recorded quite some time ago indeed before
Ocean in a Bottle and found in a archive just after I went into lockdown a side step from it’s usual rays
Of ambience
/ drones into a tapestry of loops / delays with vocals and sounds to create a
bridge like effect with layers and layers climbing over the top of each other
until it feels like an orchestra of effects leaving you feeling like you are
travelling over a bridge.
Various artists - Dulect Business News Two
Two new Ocean in a Bottle tracks have appeared on a
new various artists album from Slightly Off Kilter Records ‘Space Dust’ and
‘Asleep in Space’ available for free download / stream. Both of these tracks
were tracks that I have been working on for quite some time with all kinds of
layers within them which are somewhat different than sometimes the stripped
down space sounds Ocean in a Bottle have become known for.
25 June 2018, Heaton Park
Released as part of Silber Media’s ‘April Fields’
project. 25 June 2018 Heaton Park is a piece recorded in Heaton Park (near
Manchester) on 25 June 2018 live and then
remixed from the original sources to create a layer of noise over the top which
was then placed onto.
Global Warming on Mars 2129
A sequel or is it a prequel to Ocean in a
Bottle's previous single 'Global Warming on Mars 2130' Global Warming on Mars
2130 asked the simple question if mankind had to leave Earth after almost
destroying our world through global warming, would we make the same mistake?
Global Warming on Mars 2129 pulls the curtain back with additional layers and
elements to leave you wondering what did happen with wind, samples of people
and that ghostly piano / ambience building up a gentle but unsettle picture of
what did or could easily happen. A third piece is planned called ‘Global
Warming on Mars 2128’ (which I have started work on) and maybe a fourth for
later in the year.
Ambient Online Themed Compilation 09
– Space
I’ve been a member for a bit now of Ambient Online and usually every
two months or so, they do compilation on various themes. As soon as they
announced the 9th one would be on Space I knew straight away I would
have to send something across and both of my tracks ‘In-between the earth and
the moon’ and ‘In-between the moon and mars’ which I had just completed by
chance seemed a perfect match. This is a free download and has over 70 tracks
(not all mine of course) on it which is well worth your time listening to.
Bus outside
playground at the end of a rainstorm.
Also released for Silber Media’s ‘April Fields’ I also did this sound
journey piece recorded on a bus heading to the centre of Manchester a little
while back before lockdown and was stuck in traffic in the middle of a
rainstorm next to a School. The story kinda told itself here.
From Saturn
to Uranus
On 13 May 2020, Cambert Electrique will release the
new album by Ocean in a Bottle called from Saturn to Uranus.
Comprised of two epic, ambient tracks (which has
had comparisons of Tangerine Dream meets Zoviet France in their most dissonant)
this new album is more than a study of two planets but the space and silence
that runs in-between them.
From Saturn to Uranus looks at the journey
in-between both planets in layers of dark, drone ambience building up new
emotions the more you pay attention to it. The album will be available as a free
download on 13 May 2020.
Coming up..
Ocean in a Bottle all been well has two albums coming up for release on
Off Records later in the year maybe Autumn, and I am in discussions with
another label over another release. I have agreed to do another Single for Silber
Media for a forthcoming project in September, maybe two.
Beside Saturn to Uranus, I’ve just finished two Eps both on the theme
of Self Isolation, one containing two long 20 minute plus, the other been 7 or
8 much shorter compact songs all very much in a Harold Budd kind of territory
and I don’t doubt I’ll be working on other stuff in May.
I’ve been listening to a few old projects done between 2002 to 2004, and
the work done there I think I will be re-releasing a few of these over the
coming months, some of which like B.A.N. or Seven Ages deserve a reissue.
