about

David Cordero is an artist based in San Fernando, Cádiz, on the southern coast of Spain. His work has appeared on many of the Ambient scene’s favourite labels including Home Normal, Dronarivm, Archives, Polar Seas, and Past Inside The Present, among others. He also released ‘Restless Nature’ on Whitelabrecs back in 2024. Having made music since his teens, David began releasing solo material in 2016 after years spent performing as part of a Post Rock band. His music draws inspiration from Ambient pioneers such as Brian Eno and Steve Roach, as well as the Japanese school of minimalism led by the likes of Satoshi Ashikawa and Hiroshi Yoshimura. Nature and everyday life play a central role in his compositions, which are crafted through long hours of experimentation in his home studio. A curator of Ambient and experimental music events in Spain, David remains deeply engaged in fostering the scene while continuing to explore new sonic ideas.

Anthéne is the project of Toronto-based musician Brad Deschamps, who has been releasing music since 2015. Known for his hushed, melodic guitar-based soundscapes, Brad has released on respected imprints such as Home Normal, Oscarson, and Past Inside The Present, as well as through his own label, Polar Seas Recordings. His influences span from the spacious, slow-moving worlds of Stars of the Lid to the delicate intimacy of Julie Byrne, with a constant leaning toward minimalism and melody. In addition to his solo work, Brad is an active collaborator, creating music as Rosales (with Ian Hawgood) and Citrine (with Phoebe Dubar), among other projects.

Their second full-length collaboration is called ‘Let One Bird Sing’ and follows 2023’s ‘Lost Under The Sea’ on the Home Normal label. The two artists began by patiently exchanging small musical sketches, allowing each to build upon and reshape the ideas in their own way. Layers of guitar, modular tones and textures were gradually woven together into a seamless whole. It was an unhurried process where space and subtlety were as important as melody. Both artists have a deep respect for detail and restraint, and this shared affinity is evident throughout this album.
Brad was inspired to choose the album’s title based on a line in a poem by Faiz Ahmad Faiz, which speaks to a hope for freedom. This is something Brad connected not only to humanity but also to the natural world. The pieces on ‘Let One Bird Sing’ carry a sense of openness and quiet reverence for nature, reflected in their unforced, drifting structures and gentle interplay of tones. The artist’s intention was to create a space for calm and reflection, inviting either attentive listening or moments of stillness and detachment.
