about

The desire to exist in an immersive landscape of his own creation is behind Melbourne musician Tim Bass’s album Pastures. Instead of trying to create a particular sound, in Pastures Bass has focused on carefully crafting a special place.
‘’My goal was to develop stable platforms where texture and movement could form their own
natural place. I wanted to move away from creating sound and move towards landscape,’’ he says.
Inspired by French philosopher Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopia, which describes a space of layered meanings which is simultaneously mental and physical, Bass has created an album which rewards close and sustained listening.
From the opening swell of Eris, to the subtle shifts of Smoke plume rising and the closing ambience of Onward from nowhere, Pastures urges the listener to settle into to it, to dream of new ways of being and places to inhabit.
It is an album which rather than demanding your attention, patiently waits for you to notice just how special it is.

Reviews:
"Pastures is an immersive opus..." -- Mess and Noise

"Pastures is a gorgeous gem, less cinematic than balanced and quiet..." -- Ambient Exotica

"a subtle crystalline beauty..." -- Textura

Just For A Thrill

Beautiful classical ambient that can rival Eno's best work Jeffrey Postma

Bokeh
by Wil Bolton

supported by 14 fans who also own “Pastures”

In Bokeh, Wil Bolton patiently crafted six tracks, where processed field recordings and reverberated synthesizers melodies are carefully balanced. Chimes, bar-like talks, distant traffic or whispers from the wind frame the story of this release in a very small location. We are only one step away from saying that the artist takes us in his privacy with Bokeh ; and I'll go for it. Very personal and sensitive, this album takes place behind the closed doors of Bolton's near environment. Lovely. Dotflac

Continental Drift
by Faures

supported by 13 fans who also own “Pastures”

Drones, synths and epic sound walls emerging from a distant fog. Meditative, peaceful and as if from the inside of an iceberg. Sounds that aspire to the light. An outstanding, deep and imaginative album with subtle electronics. Apart from "Day" by Christopher Hipgrave (https://homenormal.bandcamp.com/album/day), for me it's the strongest album in the catalogue of Home Normal. silence et liberté
