Alder & Ash Montreal, Québec
Alder & Ash is a counterpoint of two extremes. The music lies in stillness, introversion, and penitence. It lies in violence, cacophony, and angst.

Built Upon a Fearful Void
by William Ryan Fritch
supported by 75 fans who also own “Rites of Sorrow”
Incredibly atmospheric and eerie music from this multi-instrumentalist composer. Known for his award-winning documentary and narrative film soundtracks, he blends experimental, folk, and contemporary classical into a delectable melange. There are two gorgeous suites included in this release, but to give an idea of what to expect, my favourite track is A Pale Mare.

Light Caught The Edges
by From the Mouth of the Sun
supported by 75 fans who also own “Rites of Sorrow”
One of the most stunning albums I've ever heard. Beautiful and meditative. The album is aptly titled, as the music brings forth images of light filtered through fall leaves and reflecting from forest streams. If there was ever a soundtrack for contemplative "shinrin-yoku", this is it. Highest recommendation.

By reading the comments and some of the reviews it's easy to see how potent this mixture of sounds is for evoking beautiful and haunting visions...and I agree. I see ghosts wading in a pond in the middle of a foggy forest.
