No greater hero than the least plant that grows, by Christopher Hipgrave

No greater hero than the least plant that grows

by Christopher Hipgrave

supported by

The Lifted Index The textural complexity of this album boggles my mind. To do so much with so little, Christopher Hipgrave must be a wizard.

Ews Nsj i am in the windless full-moon night, staring at the brittle ice twinkling in the light. it clings and silently chimes and drifts down like dust within the boughs of the birches. it sleeps in flashes and shines within the soft white blankets of the pine. i raise my breath and smother the moon with thick fog and walk back to the hiss of the fire

about

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.

Sensitiv
by Mind over MIDI

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
