Admo Gentle yet engrossing ruminations from liminal space, where everything hangs still and a moment stretches out languidly towards the coming dawn. Favorite track: not sleeping.

Josh Solar Just got lost in this for a while. It’s a great album to drift away too... Favorite track: we're here.

keithworldpeace beautifully enveloping and immersive without being overwhelming or distracting. top notch tones and vibes! Favorite track: not sleeping.

about

With Toronto on another lockdown we've been trying to find new activities for our 2 year old daughter. I bought some instruments I thought she might enjoy playing with: a kalimba and a tongue drum. While she was sleeping I spent time weaving these instruments around guitar loops. I found myself adding other elements, random objects sitting in my studio with me, pens, glasses, mallets, and books to add some textures and tones to add movement to these recordings. I credit our daughter Saphiya with the album title, as she runs around outside trying to run away from her shadow. To me these pieces reflect this playfulness, and feel uplifting in a pretty somber time.

Music for guitar, kalimba, glockenspiel, tongue drum, books, pens, glass, mallets and bow.

Home Normal UK

Home Normal is an analog ambient music label.

Founded in Tokyo in 2008, Home Normal crossed over the connection from the netlabel scene to present analog ambient music in unique physical packages across our connected labels, leading the way for the micro-label movement in 2009.

Moving to the UK in 2019, our releases can still be found in independent stores across Japan.

We were heartbroken to hear of the passing of Helge (Mind over MIDI). One of the leading voices in electronic ambient music, he was a true talent and a wonderful person who will be sorely missed. Home Normal
