Ego Broken Celer's music has been the most mesmerizing discovery in ambient music of the last years. Continuing to explore his vast discography is a transcending journey. This album is growing more and more on me with each listen. Thanks for your music Will. Favorite track: An Evening, Elsewhere.

elmin buh this is such a beautiful and powerful remaster. thank you will for constantly transposing the universality of grief into works that never fail to move and inspire me. thank you stephan for always bringing the best out of these dense and undulating works so they sound as good on my bedside cd player as they do blasting on my studio monitors and subwoofers. love from the midwest.
xoxo, elmin Favorite track: Imagined Settlement.

morthyres There are many things I would do to forget this album completely and get to listen to it for the first time all over again, but nothing I can do is worthy of that. Favorite track: True Maps Of An Unreal Place.

about

Originally recorded and released in digital format only in 2020, It Would Be Giving Up is a set of ensemble pieces made with tape loops and analog instruments. Following a similar trajectory as that of Memory Repetitions and Future Predictions, this set pushes further beyond, continuing to utilize a wall-of-sound approach to mood construction, and reflections on complicated grief. Simultaneously, it is a further statement to intensify blurring of the lines between genres, with sound palettes defined solely by their chosen volume. Finally, it should exist as a pure manifestation of uncertainty, fate, and illusion.

Packed in a custom-designed clamshell box, of 4 discs with individual pocket sleeves, and a 20-page booklet. Remastered from the original tapes by Stephan Mathieu at Schwebung.

I can get lost in the ambience of the later stages. It feels like I'm floating, letting the noises just occur in my head. I genuinely listen to K1 on a regular basis. Absolutely recommend. seeeetfanacc

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
