Simon McCorry & Andrew Heath - A Is for Autumn (2022)

These gentlemen already appeared together on this blog: Simon McCorry and Andrew Heath are 2/3 of Konstruct, and they are back with some more extremely atmospheric music on their fittingly called new album, A Is for Autumn.

And yes, this is the perfect music for this season. Moody and soft, slow and gloomy. The heavy basses contrast here with delicate and super sad feedback-like noises; the static soundscapes are limitless and the pure melancholia drips out of every note. It gets even better with the sea od synths that appears from time to time, mesmerizing the audience in an instant as it is in my favourite track here, V​ä​ldighet. I can't stress enough how well this album goes with the world out there at this time of the year. If you need to enhance the nostalgic experience autumn offers, you should make this album its soundtrack.

A Is for Autumn costs 8 EUR (7 GBP).

Konstruct - Soundworks (2022)

Konstruct is a trio made of talented ambient/neoclassical artists with Simon McCorry being the best known on this blog. Apart from the British cellist, it involves also Alexander Caminada a.k.a. Phonsonic and Andrew Heath. All of them joined forces to create a unique soundscape of ambient's mystery and neoclassicism's beauty. 

This is a recorded performance they gave at the Ground Works event and the music they served there is filled with audio references to nature, the Earth and the landscape we live within. There's a handful of very tangible, very organic sound samples that are woven into a blend of ambient and neoclassical music. The latter is dominated (though it feels wrong saying that abut such a delicate entity) by piano keys and McCorry's melancholic cello music used to create sad, slow drone. This all results in a rather gloomy take on instrumental ambient that manages to be attractive and pretty at the same time.

Soundworks costs 6 EUR (5 GBP)
