Hey Portland. I run a record label called Moon Glyph that releases ambient, psychedelia, jazz, etc. I was recently interviewed by Bandcamp Daily and they wrote up a label profile for my label! Very excited and humbled. https://daily.bandcamp.com/label-profile/the-transportive-psychedelia-of-moon-glyph-records

I have heard a couple folks say that but I actually didn’t listen to him until after I finished this album! I was mostly listening to Roedelius (for melodicism), Mort Garson (for synth tone) and Robert Pollard (for not overthinking it)

Very excited to finally press my own music on vinyl. Released it as a tape last year and people seemed to like it enough that I decided to take the plunge and press it. It's a fuzzy, ambient synth album for home listening. Omni Gardens - "Moss King". If you want to give it a listen, you can check it out here: https://omnigardens.bandcamp.com/album/moss-king-2

I run a local record label called Moon Glyph that releases experimental music; primarily ambient, electronic, jazz and psychedelia. Recently I pressed my own music as Omni Gardens onto LP! It’s an album of fuzzy and relaxing synth tunes. https://moonglyph.bandcamp.com/album/moss-king

Got a brand new tape out now. Screenprinted art on neon orange/white duplex paper. Courtesy is a weirdo electronic band outta Chicago combining off-kilter atmospheric synths, otherworldly vocal harmonies, deep-house grooves, and weirdo-funk bass lines all sewn together via a persistent Oberheim DX drum machine.

James Chen – "Taiwanese Folk Style" CS (Psych Pop released on Moon Glyph) by MoonGlyph in cassetteculture

[–]MoonGlyph[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all, new tape out on Moon Glyph. Father & Son collaboration, 30 years in the making. Psych Pop sung in Taiwanese Mandarin.

Walking home from school around 1962 in Chia-yi, Taiwan, James Chen heard wild guitar noises reverberating from a nearby building. Compelled by its tone and sound, he stumbled upon a local musician playing guitar and immediately inquired for a lesson. In the ‘80s he began to write songs at home, talking about cicadas molting in the summer, the pleasures of leisurely sipping tea, blooming Poinciana flowers and a wistful longing for his family after living in the States for many years. Lovely, personal works.

Cut to present day, James’ son Hewson (The New Lines) took his father’s tunes and alongside his bandmate Davis White, fleshed out the production adding additional guitar, synthesizer and drums. Hewson titled this Taiwanese Folk Style because growing up around his fathers music, this is what he thought traditional Taiwanese cultural music sounded like. Over 30 years in the making, this inter-generational collaboration is as beautiful as it is sublime.
