Notes from the label:
For the final installment of the Bedroom Compost series before we enter a new year, we bring you Arbee’s seductive Libre Arbitre album. Virtually bubbling over with wild sprawls of organic electronics, Libre Arbitre delivers a warm, cuddly listening experience that is perfect for Winter. Arbee’s standalone style of growing alien forms from familiar electronic pastures is once again at the forefront of these songs - at any moment, a track can twist itself from a still ambient pool of dripping notes into a clattering drunken rhythmic structure, and back again. Arbee’s work is not incidentally this way, but his is a decided compositional process that leaves in all the aural hiccups and analog atmosphere.
Arbee’s original concept for Libre Arbitre was for the album to include eight original tracks, and have them mirrored by eight remixes. So, the eight originals remain here for free, and the eight remixes are included on the CD-R version of Libre Arbitre. The remix personnel are: Fingers In The Noise, Bleupulp, Darren Harper, Stopmotion, Galerie Stratique, Jonas The Plugexpert, E1000 and Coppice Halifax.
started out as nothing. just that first sketch.

This is a really great project, I am quite honored to be a part of it. Themed compilation about hearing loss. Pay what you want ! My track is kept a bit silenced. With some daily things happening and field recordings. I’ve kept the theme always with me when composing and recording.
How to catch STILLE?
No other art can endorse the importance of good hearing better than music. It is universal and transcends geographical, social and linguistic boundaries.
How to catch STILLE? is cought from the view of various musicians. What started as a remix album of AN MOKU’s first album STILLE became a higher meaning. The literal translation of the german word “Stille” is silentness/quietness. Each several track deals with the meaning of this. Hearing loss is a very significant matter. More than ever in hectical nowadays! One in every six people worldwide is affected by hearing loss. As the population ages – and noise pollution in the world increases – more and more people will be losing their hearing. The consequences of untreated hearing loss can extend as far as complete social isolation.
Name your price to buy this album and all of the money will be donated to the following non-profit organizations: World Wide Hearing and Sonos Schweiz.
According to the World Health Organization, 642 million people in the world suffer from hearing loss. Of these, 278 million suffer from hearing loss so disabling that actions most people take for granted, like having a conversation, are impossible for them without a hearing aid. The majority live in developing countries and almost none have access to hearing aids or services. The cost of hearing care is simply unaffordable and there are too few audiologists working in poor countries to provide treatment for everyone.
50% of your donation will be used to provide hearing aids to people, mainly children with hearing loss in developing countries.
50% of your money will be used to fund innovative research on the impact of treating hearing loss.
The Swiss organization Sonos Schweiz is going to use this project album to report back to me how the music has an effect on the kids and teenagers with hear loss. More info to come soon.
The period of this project is one year. After six months I will report at this Bandcamp page and my own webpage in detail about the donation and the same after one year.
Last but not least, speaking in words of the polish sound artist and founder of Etalabel, Grzegorz Bojanek: «Ludzie bez najmniejszego problemu płacą $5 za kubek kawy, jednakże miliony ludzi nie chcą zapłacić nawet $1 za piosenkę, której nagranie kosztuje często setki dolarów, do nagrania której artyści musieli ćwiczyć często wiele godzin i którą można słuchać w kółko, bez końca i pozostaje z nami już na zawsze… SZANUJCIE ARTYSTÓW - KUPUJCIE MUZYKĘ.»
To this effect - Please support this project, even if it is just $1. Together we can achieve something!
