Hidden Shoal atmospheric/ambient compilation

Just a reminder that I've compiled a ten-track compilation of atmospheric/ambient stuff from the Hidden Shoal roster that's available for licensing via dots and loops. It begins with the haunting wash of Stray Ghost's 'Nothing, But Death Part 1' and concludes with acclaimed producer Scott Solter's 'The Palace Wedding', visiting Antonymes, My Majestic Star, Sleeping Me, Rich Bennett, Slow Dancing Society, Elisa Luu, Wes Willenbring and Jumpel along the way. Plenty of delicious atmospheres to immerse yourself in.

Hidden Shoal artist profile: Markus Mehr

Markus Mehr

Markus Mehr creates textured ambient drone music that pulls you in like a magnet to the heart. It's subtle and beautiful - but can be prone to violent blasts of distortion and passages of bone-crushing intensity. Whether humming along like a barely perceptible background atmosphere or looming large in your face like a raging tsunami, this music is wonderfully suited to visual accompaniment. His music suits cutting-edge visuals, from industrial townscapes to womblike moments of personal reflection.

Markus's debut solo album Lava was released to critical acclaim in 2010. The following video is of single 'Cousteau', which features amazing visuals by artist Stefanie Sixt:



Markus's latest release, In, comprises two massive tracks, 'Komo' and 'Ostinato', that evolve majestically over the course of 25 minutes. Here's a clip of Markus and Stefanie performing 'Komo' live:



In is part one of an ambitious yet beautifully realised triptych, which continues with On (June 2011) and is completed by Off (January 2012).
