about

Dominic Van Horn is a musician and art teacher living and working in Memphis, TN. With his solo project, Dominic captures small, lo-fi fragments of ambience and weaves them together into a remarkable sonic tapestry.

There's an intimate, introspective quality to the gently bubbling synth patches and snippets of dusty drone that comprise "Light In The Valley". It's as if the fleeting thoughts and hazy memories that drift through our minds unnoticed have been made quietly audible. The ephemeral nature of these pieces only underscores their poignancy, reminding the listener that good things pass all too quickly.

"Light in the Valley is like a deep breath of color that hits every part of your body at once, and allows you to float along on a breeze, rejecting every ounce of stress that could possibly still be in your body. It’s an antidote to the fast pace – it’s a mental vacation you can take every day." -Cassette Gods

"A beautiful medium allowing thoughts to reach deeper within the current moment. ..another gem from this label." -Lost In A Sea Of Sound

A wonderful musical collection that shows the unity of the whole world and the support of Ukraine during the long war, which will undoubtedly end with the victory of Ukraine. And now the terrible numbers... Only according to official data as of today #russiaisaterroriststate killed 510 children in Ukraine, injured another 1141 children, kidnapped 19546 children. There are many more unofficial victims. And russia remains a member of the UN... desynkro303
