r beny – discerned in the fugue of streams (quiet details, 2024)

Chris — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 20:13:02 +0000

The days go faster this time of year, the sudden slump into darkness and early sunsets: so far this month the city I live in has recorded almost zero hours of sunshine up until today. Autumn is definitely here, and is hurtling relentlessly to the crashing end of the calendar. In these abrupt melancholia-inducing conditions […]

Tim Hecker – An Imaginary Country (Kranky, 2009)

Chris — Sun, 01 Sep 2024 18:57:50 +0000

I haven’t been sleeping well the last couple of weeks. First I thought it was the excitement of travel, then it was the random sprinkling of hot and muggy days: now I realise it’s because of, well, you know… I close my eyes and my mind wanders, unbidden, unfocused, wanting. Eventually I slip into restless […]

Bvdub – Heartless (n5MD, 2017)

Chris — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 20:13:29 +0000

I’m finding it hard to write lately. Summer has historically been a slower period for HearFeel, and as the years go by my time seems to become thinner and less available for both writing and listening and it only compounds the infrequency of my posts. And although I’m cognisant of these shifts and flows within […]

Abul Mogard & Rafael Anton Irisarri – Impossibly Distant, Impossibly Close (Black Knoll, 2024)

Chris — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 19:39:45 +0000

I woke up this morning suddenly at about 4am, one of those disorientating rousings that I get on the odd occasion from a light sleep with vivid dreams, but it took me a good 10-15 seconds to remember where I was. Across the haze of my mind, groggily awake, trying to unwrap the dream from […]

The Lonely Bell – The Absent Years (Oscarson, 2024)

Chris — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 15:39:58 +0000

CoViD was this hole in the world that life fell into, swallowing growth, swallowing time, swallowing love. I remember saying to one of my friends that it felt like I’d lost two years of my life: who I was, who I wanted to become, things I wanted to do, all became things frozen in a […]

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma – Love Is A Stream (Type, 2010)

Chris — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 21:01:48 +0000

As I get older, and perhaps also aided by the fact that I live some distance away from my family and birth-city, and travel fairly regularly with work and otherwise, I end up thinking about “home” a lot. The notion of it, what it means conceptually. I’m a flexible and independent person, I could live […]

Sawako – bitter sweet (12k, 2008)

Chris — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 21:18:03 +0000

Last November I found myself on the last day of a work trip with some hours to kill before our evening flight home. I hadn’t had an opportunity to get into the sea that week because we’d just been too busy so we headed down to the beach first thing before we had to check […]

Kali Malone – Living Torch (Portraits GRM, 2022)

Chris — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 20:38:55 +0000

People are often quick to cite the difference between being alone, and loneliness. One is simply a situation, a status of sorts: the other is a condition, a feeling. As they always like to say, it’s perfectly possible to be surrounded by people and feel lonely, as though isolated from the rest somehow, or conversely […]

The Lonely Bell – Ghost Town Burning (2023)

Chris — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 19:26:07 +0000

I’ve talked quite often about city or urban life, the artificiality of it. There’s something distinctly disharmonious and incongruent with nature about these spaces humans have designed for the sole purpose of housing humans; probably because until relatively recently they’ve often been created with little thought as to how to make them feel like nature is […]

Olli Aarni – Loput (Laaps, 2022)

Chris — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 20:56:41 +0000

There’s this moment, in the first of Aarni’s two track Loput, “Aallokossa”, where the tidal drones and oscillating tones that form the listless atmospherics give way. For a brief, shining time there’s a feeling of dissolution, the melancholic vibrations melting away like sandcastles facing a relentless sea, all aquamarine and insistent. It paves the way for a […]
