resonant recordings, who specialize mainly in ambient and electronic music, are calling it a day. this is sad news for those who are big fans of this particular genre because resonant are one of the leading lights of the ambient world. with artists such as port-royal, library tapes, stafraenn hakon, yellow6, and more, resonant fulfilled a very large niche in a genre that tends to fall through the cracks of the more mainstream publications such as pitchfork and popmatters. this year has seen the label at its most productive with excellent releases, one of which by port-royal was one of my favorites, and it turns out that before they call it a day, resonant will release a port-royal remix album featuring the likes of manual and ulrich schnauss, as well as the debut album by our sleepless forest, which i’ve been waiting a long time to finally hear. follow the link to their myspace account and you’ll be treated to some great ambient textures that churn and morph before your very ears.
