    Hopefully over the last couple of months, you've all been enjoying your teabreaks courtesy of the Audio Gourmet netlabel catalog. Each 15 minute EP is produced by top quality ambient and/or experimental artists from around the globe and then given away at www.audiogourmet.co.uk, ideally for 'teabreak' listening.

    A new venture for the label is in the form of a more 'lunchbreak' based excursion, I.E a full artist album.
    The release rate for this will be very slow in comparison to the free EPs, to allow you to digest the material after indulging in a rich aural feast.
    The full albums will not be given away for free because of the sheer time it takes to conceive an album idea, record, arrange and treat, not to mention the sheer length of time it takes to upload WAV files here on Bandcamp!
    Having said that, I've decided to set the price for this in-depth and full album release to a minimum of just £5. You can choose to pay more if you believe the album to be worth the extra donation, although it will not be frowned upon if you go for the minimum fee - I will just be glad that you have chosen to take a listen!

    So there you have it - the first 'lunchbreak' is out on Audio Gourmet and I hope you enjoy it. Any feedback, please send an email to Audiogourmet@gmail.com

    Kind regards,
    Harry

about
'Decompose' was originally conceived as an album project when I got thinking the about method in which I create ambient music. Typically, I would perform or 'compose' a melody on an instrument and record this take when I was happy with it. Then, the next step is to record another harmonically compatible layer with a different instrument. This will continue with up to four or so compositions and then I would begin to 'decompose' them into an abstract ambient/drone soundscape.

As I began to gather the tracks for 'Decompose' my attention turned to the track titles and that's when the concept of the album began to branch out to reference and portray the seemingly endless cycle of the world around us. When an organism ceases, it decomposes and becomes part of something else - it will rot into the soil and the disintegrating fragments will eventually take form as something else. This is not just the case with living organisms; it is also the case with everyday house hold objects, buildings and seemingly everything. The world will naturally recycle - very little disappears completely.

With the album concept in mind, throughout the recording process I would constantly refer to the album cover image, kindly provided by French artist Eric Lacombe (Monstror) for inspiration. I'd like to thank Eric for allowing me to use his work for this album and also, for the artwork on my albums 'Frozen Quarters' and 'Tales From The Labyrinth".
