st. atom hrt605 / wind in willows ‎


"another young musician from Karelia named Anton Filatov aka Wind In Willows offers us two lengthy tracks of simple guitar melodies and different acoustic instruments, all drenched in reverb and delay. Wind in Willows' ambient folk music sounds misty and sunny at the same time. on the other side of the tape St. Atom HRT605 from Greece continues with a slightly darker atmosphere based around deep synthesizer drones, occasional percussion sounds and samples. the two sides of this tape are sort of like day and night, but it's not that they are different, more like they're the two sides of the same cycle. orange tapes with stickers in carton boxes with an artwork for each side. all paintings by Helder Coelho Dias. Limited to 50 copies." jozik

tape packaging: sasha kretova / paintings: helder coelho dias

las cintas de jozik garantizan siempre un viaje cálido y reconfortante. todas sin excepción tienen ese componente orgánico y delicado que reconoces al instante y que está presente ya desde las preciosas portadas hechas a mano por sasha kretova. todo cuadra en este split de wind in willows y st. atom hrt605 que tan bien se complementa. es música celestial, la que nos recuerda a buchikamasi, la que flota en el tiempo y el espacio hasta que se posa en nuestras almohadas formando un ovillo de algodón dulce del que nunca te quieres separar. las que, en definitiva, hacen los días más agradables. otra de tantas cintas que se quedan suspendidas en el limbo sin el reconocimiento que se merecen. 

'sea of rain' de wind in willows recorre paisajes que, no por conocidos, dejan de sorprender y enamorar, un ambient indescriptiblemente bonito donde las melodías cristalinas vienen arrulladas entre brumas espumosas y arreglos en miniatura, viento, drones, samples, percusiones como de bambú. lo que hace st. atom hrt605 en 'night patrol hunting dreams' me deja sin aire, diez minutos fugaces como el halo de un cometa en el que un sintetizador kosmische nos lleva en volandas por el espacio sideral,  como en los momentos más tranquilos y sedosos de köhn y que tan bien le sentarían al catálogo de ginjoha tapes. pero al final, todo se resume en el título y la música de 'may clouds fly away' de wind in willows, a medio camino entre la evocación y la canción más bonita del mundo. sencillamente perfecta.

bedroom bear | wind in willows


"Russia’s Bedroom Bear and Wind in Willows team up for a mysterious split displaying two unique, individual visions. Bedroom Bear gets things going with a folky, lo-fi slow burner, tape hiss like washes of waves on the beach. Wind in Willows follows suit with a miniature symphony of sparkling synths and skittering beats." hooker vision

wind in willows

"Wind in Willows is a solo project of Anton Filatov, from Republic of Karelia losted in swamps and forest in Russia, just near by the Finnish border. Childish synths, cutting your ear walls of guitar drones, and peacefull psychedely sometimes turning into new age. Overall Aura is an intimate work, free jams with friends, synth loops, and simple ambient passages"

dolphin synts, free jams...may clouds fly away!

wind in willows

"Republic of Karelia's very own Anton Filatov is presenting his debut release. This young man lives on the outskirts of Petrozavodsk, basically right in the forest. When he's not busy studying physics and astronomy he composes mellow soundscapes with synths and guitars. He utilizes quite a variety of other sources, too: birdsongs, tape loops, delay wobble. Filled with gentle chords and easy sinewaves this tape is a perfect soundtrack for relaxation. Come here and rest. Spray-painted cassettes, textured blue vellum J-cards. Edition of 50.
