Golden Ratio Frequencies are pleased to announce our first release for 2022 with “Music for Vibraphone & Tape” by OCEAN MOON

Jon Tye may be better known as one half of balearic duo Seahawks, but with his OCEAN MOON project Tye taps into a more personal New Age sound palette.
Coloured by a long time exploration of sound and spaciousness as both founder of legendary label Lo Recordings and as one half of the 90’s electronic ambient pioneers MLO (who released the benchmark LP iO in 1994), OCEAN MOON builds on those foundations to reach into and touch upon more mystical and wondrous dimensions, reflecting the natural surroundings of his Cornwall home and studio of sun, sky, land and sea.


Following on from releases on KPM and Aural Canyon, Music for Vibraphone and Tape, is Ocean Moon at its most meditative and reflective yet.
Two long form pieces of sparse resonant environmental music, it does exactly as described on the tin. Glass Lake and Silver Forest are apt titles for these crystalline and glacial movements of psychic transportation.
Gentle Vibraphones, here delicately contributed by Pietro Pompei from Abbey Studio’s in Rome have been masterfully manipulated, processed and augmented by Tye’s expert touch in the arts of ambient synthesis and tape, creating a world of harmonic vibration rich in tone and timbre.
Transferred to tape via the legendary Eventide H3000 processor, the silvery tones within have been stretched, warped and woven into a sonic tapestry that plays with the very fabric of space and time. Soft tape hiss provides a blanket of calm to dissolve into whilst the bowed and stroked vibraphonic sounds caress and soothe – a celestial chorus of muted metal tones that recall Gil Evans orchestrations with Miles Davis drifting forever into a deep space vortex.

Mastered by LA’s Matthew David McQueen (Leaving Records) whose subtle psychoacoustic techniques add the perfect finishing touch to a deep listening experience extraordinaire, these two sides of metal meditation recall the work of Philip Corner, Daniel Schmidt and The Berkeley Gamelan, Laraaji’s new age chime recordings, Masayoshi Fujita or Les Baxter submerged in an ocean of sound to create a soft sonic cocoon that wraps the listener in gossamer fibres of light. A deep dive into a soundworld like no other.


Physical copies are manifest as ltd edition frosted quartz colour cassette with on body print, full colour double sided four panel inlay featuring original collage work by Jon Tye himself, and as always, screen printed Golden Ratio Spiral acetate.
