about

Based just outside the city of Durham in the North of England, David Newlyn has been creating melancholic ambient music since 2007 and has had numerous works released on labels such as Hibernate, Cotton Goods, Time Released Sound, Tokyo Droning and Flaming Pines. His latest album, “The Past Increases, The Future Recedes” sees David’s fascination with the loss of quality in recorded sound translated into 9 pieces. Many of the recordings, while recorded clearly, have been degraded by re-recording onto cassettes or mobile devices. These recordings then paired with piano or guitar recordings present David’s vision taking us on a dreamlike ride through the landscape of North East England.

The album title is an extract from the following text:
Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the future hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting. Credited to Haruki Murakami in the book Abandoned Futures by Tong Lam.

Trace of Light
by Chronovalve

supported by 17 fans who also own “The Past Increases - The Future Recedes”

This album so perfectly captures the soothing and inspirational nature of melancholy beauty that I am quickly transported to a place east of the sun and west of the moon, filled with endless magic and wonder. I am able to find serenity so easily, I find myself asking, as Keats wrote, "Was it a vision, or a waking dream? / Fled is that music: Do I wake or sleep?" Scott

Love Retained
by Ian Hawgood

supported by 17 fans who also own “The Past Increases - The Future Recedes”

Even if he says otherwise, Ian Hawgood is super prolific and incredibly talented in not only his own releases, but in collaborations and with the heart & soul put into the labels he's run over the years. Saying all that, this is a more recent favorite release of Ian's: peaceful, deceivingly simple (yet not!) piano works that is personal, elegant and graceful in its warmth and presentation. Plus it's for a wonderful cause. Get it!! Joe Borreson
