Timeless ambient from a master producer!

Quite melancholy and dark, but very well crafted for this style of ambient. I think "Elementa" is a slightly more refined than these pieces but I enjoy this release very much as well.

about
These drone-based pieces are a natural accompaniment to the regular Nunc Stans release from 2010, We Leave Without Speaking (DataObscura). They were composed in the same period and are in a related style.
The album title refers to a belief that the best ambient music is inherently both poetic and dream-like. The poetic side is imagistic, suggestive, and largely mood-based. The dream-like aspect is where these suggestive musical forms take you. It is an excercise of the free imagination and a species of daydreaming or reverie, of being carried away and immersed in another mode of being, another world ... a world set apart.
Museums, of course, also share this feature of isolating their contents from the regular happenings of daily life. To enter a museum is to leave this mundane world behind and become something of a pure spectator, given over to its art, images, curios and architectural splendor. (APK, 2010)
At 47:53 this release is more a regular full album than an EP.
Nunc Stans is the work of Anthony Paul Kerby, who also records as The Circular Ruins, Lammergeyer, and Fictions and Poetics.
Re-mastered January 2016.

An Unknown Season
by The Winterhousesupported by 19 fans who also own “Stanzas from the Museum of Dreams”
Beautiful tension and dynamics. Calming you, haunting you, atmospheric trails ascending and descending, rolling like waves found on an abandoned canvas. Fleeting moments and fragments like a ghost fading away into the distance, captured on old film reels that replay over & over in a long empty but lushly decorated room in the middle of nowhere. Gorgeous.

Right from the first sound you hear, to the last note - this album will transport you to a natural place. I cannot put into words how this album has been such a huge help. It’s like a friend now - like someone who is always there. An amazing album that everyone should own. Thanks so much, Robert.

The gorgeously minimalist “boat” blends long, sustained major chords with the sound of lapping waves.
