IMAGINARY FRIENDS

by V/A - Collected by Nova

supported by

Anthony Elia This is a collection of beautiful, peaceful, meditative music to sit in bliss with, or have in the background as your mind creates masterpieces in spiritual and physical form Favorite track: Eleven (Decades remix).

Michel Dudecek This is absolutely beautiful. Nova has weaved together a soft and sensual seventy minute poem with music that couldn't be more fitting. One of my favorite compilations from Ultimae! Favorite track: Resin.

Simeon Apostolov Back in the day when I bought this compilation on CD I wouldn't have known how many memories it would store for me during all those years. Some are blissful, some are sad, some remind you of the great challenges you overcame, some speak of love. Just like the music here. Favorite track: Resin.

Maris This collection includes many tracks created by my favourite composers. Favorite track: Times are Good (Sometimes remix).

John Ashwell Every time I hear this track it stops me in my tracks.... Favorite track: Longing for Silence.

about

Nova honours the legacy of 2005 Albedo with another outstanding narrative-driven compilation showcasing more intimate yet intriguing fresh sounds. Imaginary Friends features a melange of styles, different facets of ambient electronica infused with neo-classical moods, acoustic sensibilities, epic melodies and impressionistic textures and tempos for a vibrant and overall warm feel.

As always emphasis was put on gathering original and tailor-made compositions from a variety of well-known artists on Ultimae and interesting newcomers such as Murya from Iceland, offthesky from the US, to create a musical palette that shares Nova's own eclectic and unconventional vision. "With Imaginary Friends I've wanted to speak about solitude but not seen as alienation, disillusionment or isolationism. Loneliness somehow involves the release of human spirit and the consequent building of a new paradigm. Personal moments, like to plug in a pair of headphones and go for a walk in a park, sitting in a café watching passers by or when writing a poem. Poetry is not a simple form of art, no matter what language is. It requires some skill, a bit of logic, and lots of heart: it's about intensity, like ambient music."

The Imaginary Friends are Field Rotation (Germany), Kevin Andrew (Indiana), Rena Jones & Nalepa (Oregon and California), offthesky (Kentucky), Murya (Iceland), Cell (France), Aes Dana (France), Hol Baumann (France), Asura (France), Solar Fields (Sweden) and James Murray (England).
