Ty Lumnus - Decompression (bc049)



"Decompression" is the sound of Glasgow artist Fraser Rowan starting anew. Previously releasing spaced out downtempo experimental soundscapes under the Ly Tumnus alias, this new venture as, Ty Lumnus, sees him turn up the tempo whilst keeping that experimental and dynamic edge.

It's a four track offering that stretches across the genre divide. Dusky tonal experiments, palpitating bass, analogue outbursts and sophisticated rhythms.

Constructed expertly with spiraling electronics that mingle with sonic decay to create a cosmic passage of varied textures and frequencies for the listener. Sit back, fire up the volume and ride the sound waves.

As always you can stream or download the EP from our bandcamp or below.

Headroom 16 : Bricolage presents "0141"



Our latest installment in the Headroom series is a special tribute to Glasgow.

Last month we celebrated our 4th anniversary as a label by releasing our '0141' compilation. It's made up entirely of music from local producers.

There's ambient/drone bliss, haunting pianos and soundscapes, experimental sound collages, challenging noise material, dreamy electronica, acid tinged techno, wonky house, cinematic synthwave.

On the latest episode of our extensive Headroom sessions we've mixed together a seamless version of '0141' and to further bulk up the tracklist we've added in a few tunes plucked from some previous releases on Bricolage by Glasgow producers. Everything you hear in this session was made right here in Glasgow.

'0141' has so far raised over £100 for the NHS Golden Jubilee Hospital in Clydebank.

You can donate further by purchasing the compilation from our bandcamp.

Here's to our Dear Green Place.

'0141' Reviews and Update



It's been just over a fortnight since we released the "0141" release that showcases the sounds of the Glasgow underground. We've managed to raise in excess of £100 so far for the NHS Golden Jubilee Hospital.

The reception so far has been fantastic and we really do need to give out a big thank you to everyone who has bought, streamed and shared the album so far.

The reviews have been coming thick and fast for the album.....

Bricolage Podcast #49 : Ty Lumnus



Our September podcast sees us edge ever nearer to our landmark 50th episode and to bring us that step closer we're offering up a weird and wonderful selection from Ty Lumnus. This podcast sees the Glaswegian mix and compile his first ever podcast but, on listening in, you'd never guess. This mix gives an insight into what kinda of sounds and mood drive the producer and his own creative tendencies. If the name looks familiar then you may notice that it's an anagram of "Ly Tumnus"....

Ly Tumnus just featured on our '0141' compilation last week with his track 'X' from 2016. Ly Tumnus is an old skin, shedded and grown anew into Ty Lumnus. You can expect to hear a lot more under that name in the coming weeks with his debut EP "Decompression" releasing on the label on the 28th of  this month. Previews and snippets coming soon. Until then, delve deep into this assemblage of consummate ambient tones and first rate electronica.

As always you can listen in below or at our mixcloud.
