Ruben van den Belt At first I was disappointed in hearing the yes beautiful but a little over-used sound of Durand's tape style. Then this records slowly turns in something special and this collaboration between Deupree and Durand proves to bring forth magic.

s.loya Such a gorgeous collection of subtle, reflective sonic gems, and a beautiful collaborative effort. The tracks meander peacefully but not without purpose, and light up and glow like stars on a clear night. As always with 12k releases, the artwork can set the tone so eloquently. Take some time out to familiarize yourself with this gently mood-elevating recording. Favorite track: Heid.

Emmerich Imagines a "there" that contains the threads of multiple "here"s woven together, a collective imagining from far-flung places.

Fallow Recordings A sweet spot between two wonderful musicians, creating a new facet to their beauty.

Thank you Taylor Deupree & Federico Durand for adding a little more joy to my weekend. Favorite track: Honii.

about

This Valley Of Old Mountains quietly creates the folklore of an imaginary land. From a hemisphere apart, Taylor Deupree and Federico Durand share simple sounds with complex stories. Their music balances an edge between translucency and exploration, focusing on obscurity, repetition and a shared fascination of the mountains between them.

Michael Grigoni's 'Mount Carmel' is the best thing to happen to lap / pedal steel based music in a while. Such attention to detail in every note, not a sound is wasted. Alive and energizing yet meditative and somber all at the same time. Lost Tribe Sound

When I first heard "Seiche" I was riveted; such an epic, transcendent work. And its impact endures, especially complemented by the other tactile, soulful pieces here. Call me happily broken. ajpoet
