PhilPDX50 I picked this up when it first came out in Sept 2022 and looking back now in Jan 2024 it is just as fresh and soothing as it was the first time I heard it. I return to it often. Ambient music at its finest. Favorite track: The Hills of Appalachia.

.foundation sublime open work Favorite track: The Hills of Appalachia.

Party Store Minimal, balanced, desolate. Evan's work takes you there. Favorite track: Far Across the Coastal Plain.

about

Evan Hirsh has been releasing music as Violet Light on soundcloud since 2016, but mainly for personal enjoyment and without any official release. over 3 years ago now I contacted Evan about making a compilation of my favorites, but it took some time to unearth the originals. Finally we're here and I think it was worth the wait.

Evan is a geologist and spent much of the last few years in the Sonoran desert. You can pick up on this from the titles and gentle field recordings, conjuring scenes of sweeping sands at dusk. The minimal, low-volume drones capture the peaceful majesty and fading light.

Please enjoy it!

we're all beside a wooded creek, laying on this silken mossy chord, listening as leaves tumble down in succession. the pond nearby catches each leaf and we sync our thoughts using the chain of ripples in the water. thanks a lot for this one. recommended for relaxation or when it just gets to be too much out there Ews Nsj
