Once again, TRS offers a beautiful recording with extraordinary packaging! This sounds very much like a walk in a garden, exploring all the plants and the interaction of their arrangements. At around 27:00 I'm spinning on my feet with arms outstretched, half-blinded by the glare of the midday sun shining through the tops of tall trees all around me. Wonderful!

Coming in mid September is an absolutely lovely, pastorally infused, first album from Enofa (Ross Baker), entitled, “Arboretum”. Ross had released a collaborative album with us a few years back under the name, Middlemarch. His partner on that “Wolf Hall” release, Dimitris Avramidis, also contributes to this new effort.
This time around, nature, and the inspiration derived from walking among the trees in the park and Arboretum near his home, plays a large part in the overall tone of this one long beautiful track. Like the Arboreta, which are regularly crafted to contain a range of contrasting shapes and colours, that gives them a very unique look and atmosphere, this wondrous soundscape of sorts, incorporating field recordings, moody guitars and synth, and electronic treatments perfectly reflects the calming and mysterious feel of the long and languid glorious English days of the moment. Wind chimes…the crackle of leaves underfoot….the light, swirling wind in the treetops…the sun breaking through the clouds…put this album on and you will find yourself strolling there as well!
TRS078 will come in two very limited, physical versions. The first, deluxe handmade version comes in an edition of just 50 copies. Each of these comes in the form of a collaged, stamped and hand worked vintage art deco, tri-fold photo folder, w/original photograph. Within and without each are collaged, vintage arboreal prints, a dried leaf, and other arboreal ephemera. Each folder is extensively hand artified, and comes hung with a tag made from an antique tobacco card. Each comes with an attached, stamped black envelope containing a factory pressed CD.
There is also a hand made standard version of Arboretum in an edition of 50 copies. These come in hand stamped and altered, black digipaks with factory pressed discs. Each with a dried leaf, and an obi strip made from vintage arboreal ephemera.

Hello everyone!
Time Released Sound, founded in 2011, is a lovingly hand made, limited edition
release music label that is as much an art project as it is a musical outlet. Focusing on modern classical, ambient electronic and electroacoustic sounds, we produce visuals and packaging that are as uniquely beautiful as the music itself.
Time Sensitive Materials is our new sister label....more
A labour of love...is what comes to mind each time I listen to this entire album. Although it’s a double album, it surprises me with each spin that it feels to me as if it’s a single album, it’s thát amazingly good... ambient at its finest, created with passion and feel, absolute must-have....

A total dream of an album! I just float and drift around Device Manor when I play this. Anxiety levels nil and transported to a world of calmness and tranquility. So pleased to get a copy on cd! A great label with fantastic artists. The gaye device
When seeking truly quiet, peaceful music, most of what I hear I leave, not sensing internal depth below the sound. This is different. In a moment when subtle stimulation (a bit paradoxically) is sought as a means to deeper tranquility, this excels beautifully. For others who might have connected with Stray Ghost or Silver Mount Zion or Taphephobia, yet whose minds can dwell in greater and healthier lucid calm, this is remarkable. L
Drift away on the soothing ambient music of Maps and Diagrams, with compositions that land on the tuneful side of drone. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 4, 2024
Serene ambient music that evokes guided meditation through the use of phase-shifting melodies, droning bass, and gauzy synth textures. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 8, 2024
A featherlight love letter to Japanese agrarian life that draws parallels between ambient, field recording, and Brazilian guitar music. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 13, 2023
