about

Weâ€™ve always been careful not to call Balmat an ambient label, because we like having the freedom to move, to drift, to morph. But with our 11th release, we turn our earsâ€”proudly, blissfullyâ€”to a strain of ambient at its most timeless. The appropriately titled Dreams & Whispers comes from Warsawâ€™s Bartosz KruczyÅ„ski, who has recorded under a number of guises, Earth Trax, as well as his own name. Over the years, heâ€™s touched upon deep house, breakbeats, acid, techno, electro, IDM, and more; often, the throughline running through a given album is simply the refusal to remain in any one place for longâ€”well, that, and his unusually nuanced ear for harmony and texture.

Those qualities come to the fore on Dreams & Whispers, which might be the most focused encapsulation of KruczyÅ„skiâ€™s atmospheric sensibilities to date. Across 14 stripped-down tracks for shimmer and pulse, KruczyÅ„ski evokes overlapping styles in ambientâ€”warm vibraphones, taut arps, massing strings, lonesome delay chains â€”but always with his own twist. Fitting the albumâ€™s title, the album is loosely divided into two distinct moods: The A-side, â€œDreams,â€ is charged with subtle movement, rhythms spreading out like rings around skipped stones, while the B-side, â€œWhispers,â€ plunges into a zone of shadows and hush. The two complementary moods flow into one another like the faces of a Moebius strip, yielding an album thatâ€™s intuitively shaped and rich in emotion.

Music for Six Rooms
by Hoavi

supported by 31 fans who also own â€œDreams & Whispersâ€

An album i liked so much, i bought it twice. Beautiful synth scapes that pull the listener into deep realms of undulating sonic shimmers and canyon shadows of dub techno. There are nods in the direction of Von Oswald's Channel but the approach is completely signature to Hoavi and it arrives with confidence. I could listen to 'Cosworth' on repeat for an hour and never tire. Neglectsound
