about

The silence of the frozen snowy landscape is immersive. Endless caravans of snow filled cumulus clouds deposited their delicate frozen moisture upon the landscape. Mountains of snow accumulated in the Sierra Nevada mountains and reached record levels during last winter.

Nimrod Scott was inspired by receiving constant vivid personal reports during a season of record snowfall on the ancient volcano known as Mount Pluto. Over fifty feet (> 16 meters) of packed ice crystals fell on the mountain. This continuous narrative led to his creating sonic exposures to illuminate the many states of snow. These characteristics of snow are cataloged in the language of the Indigenous people of the Arctic. Fascinated by the Inuit lexicon he strove to illuminate some of their words with musical explications.

“The Snows" is Nimrod Scott’s fourth album of exploratory electronic music created within the Ambient and Space Music genres . Favoring slowly evolving timbres and textures with occasional tempo, each track presents a different facet of snow as it is experienced by the people who live in the snowy expanse. May these chill timbres prove to deliver just what you need to hear at this moment.

Many thanks to the members of BAEMG (Birmingham Alabama Electronic Musical Group) especially Jason Belcher, James Carr, Andrew Douglas, O.Z. Hall and Ken Whetstone who provide a constant example of skills, creativity, encouragement and generosity that serve as mentors. Particular thanks is extended to Robert Rich for his helpful comments.

Special thanks to Chuck Van Zyl host of "Stars End" on WXPN, Mike Hunter host of "Music With Space" on WPRB, Tony DiPoalo the host of "Sound + Vision" on WPPM and Mick Garlic from Sequences Podcast for giving encouragement and air time for my music.

Rod is always grateful and humbled by the fans who have purchased his music, sent comments and encouraged him on this journey.

A Walk in the Shadow Garden
by Rudy Adrian

supported by 9 fans who also own “The Snows”

Incredibly beautiful, soothing & wrapped in mysterious atmospherics for the mind to explore in it's own time. A perfect follow up to As Dusk Becomes Night, an amazing achievement considering the exceptional qualities of the previous album. Transcending beyond ambient music into communication directly with the abstracted language of the nervous system. It's music to help the body let go, very unique & from a genuinely special place that is sensitive, mysterious and gliding into serenity. <3 The Itzamna Collective

Orion Nebula [CYD 0080]
by Christian Wittman

supported by 9 fans who also own “The Snows”

Orion Nebula offre des horizons sonores à s'approprier, des chimères oniriques, minimales et enivrantes, les incidences et motifs sonores s'organisent tels de micros organismes en gestation, mouvants demandant qu'à trouver leurs places dans leur espace mutant. On progresse lentement sans s'apercevoir des évolutions, lente progression à la palette variée qui en font un recueil intime pour nos musiques nocturnes. Thierry Moreau - Graphic Designer
