NEW RELEASE: B'ak'tun 13 on the S4G "Doomsday and Brimstone" compilation

Har and Altus - Shadow District FRONT COVER

Just in time for The End of The World, my brand new track "B'ak'tun 13", has been released as part of the new S4G compilation release Doomsday and Brimstone benefitting Stillstream.com and Electro-Music.com. Available for just $1 USD (or more, if you'd like), you get all 59 dark ambient tracks including B'ak'tun 13.

A bit of a slight departure from my usual ambient guitar works, B'ak'tun 13 also makes heavy use of percussion and processed vocals as well. Enjoy!

NEW RELEASE: Shadow District by Har and Altus

So Now It Can Be Told: for a while now you might've heard me making oblique references to a "Secret Project X" - I'm thrilled, proud and incredibly excited to announce the release of "Shadow District" on the Earth Mantra netlabel, a collaborative album by the outstanding Canadian ambient artist Altus and myself that has been over a year in the making.

Those of you familiar with the ambient music world are I'm sure already very well-versed in Altus' incredible works and style, and I'm truly honored to have worked together with him to create this dark, brooding world we call the "Shadow District". My deepest thanks as well to Darrell Burgan of Earth Mantra for distributing this release!

"Shadow District" is a Creative Commons release, and available for free download at the following link. We hope you enjoy!

"...an album that we think is destined to be a classic of the genre, surely one of the top ambient releases of 2012. And nothing less than music for the ages."
-- Darrell Burgan, curator of the Earth Mantra Netlabel.

NEW RELEASE: Into the Maelström, Vol. 1: The Tower By Night. LIVE: November 6, 2011

Har - Into the Maelström, Vol. 1: The Tower By Night. LIVE: November 6, 2011 FRONT COVER

My new album length (66 minute) downloadable digital single Into the Maelström, Vol. 1: The Tower By Night. LIVE: November 6, 2011 is now available from CDBaby.com!

"Vol. 1: The Tower By Night" was recorded and broadcast live to listeners world-wide on Sunday, November 6th, 2011 from my studio "Ice Station Zebra" during the special "Week After Halloween" edition of my weekly online dark-ambient radio show "Nightscaping" on Stillstream.com.
It was performed and recorded entirely on my 8-string guitar in real-time with no overdubbing, with no synths, MIDI pickups, etc used. Processed field recordings captured whilst climbing inside the Assateague Lighthouse at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island, Virginia were also triggered at various key points to add chilling ambient sound-fields containing haunted distant voices and footsteps during the performance - sometimes providing a feeling of massive, ancient unearthly mechanics, within a cavernous vertical landscape.

The combined results are a sixty-six minute sonic journey through a dark, mysterious and foreboding Autumnal landscape that can be alternately darkly soothing and terrifyingly haunted.

You can purchase and download the new 66 minute single for only $2.99 USD from CDBaby.com at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/har, directly through my Purchase page, or through my new HAR-LIVE.COM website where you can also find a new promo video for the piece, the release notes and more.
