Arconic

16.12.24 Debut release on Endless Geometry: Kites

Listen and like on: Spotify or Bandcamp.

Kites Arconic’s first release with new ambient label Endless Geometry, is inspired by a visit to Galloway in Scotland. The track blends field recordings of Red Kites during feeding time with gentle sequenced synth patterns and soft decaying bass.

Every day at 2pm, Red Kites gather at the Bellymack Hill Farm Feeding Centre in Laurieston, circling overhead and calling out as they’re fed. Drift gently into the clouds to glide alongside these remarkable birds. Here’s a little video from the experience:

6.12.24: Boil the Kettle (look inside)

Listen on Spotify or support on Bandcamp.

As the winter starts to kick in, why not sit back a little and put the kettle on? Mellow synth lines, simmering pads, and warming bass accompany a soothing, hydrophone-recorded soundscape.
