about

August 7th, 2020: Thaumiel Sonozaki aka Demetria Maldonado (she/her) lives in Long Beach, CA and makes gorgeous ambient music. Amber Ethereal is the third album in a four album series based on the times of day, with Amber representing the morning. It also represents the springtime, particularly in the opening section of the album, Chloe - a fresh shoot of grass. Beyond that however, the series also represents stages of self discovery: the first, Scarlet Ethereal, represented the evening as well as denial and hiding in the closet. The second, Violet Ethereal, represented the night as well as finally acknowledging and admitting to yourself who you are. Amber Ethereal represents the trepidation, yet also the excitement of what may come when you finally show your true self to the world. It has the fears represented by the aspects of the morning ("Nephelai", "Psychos" - clouds and cold, respectively) which give way to the positive feelings for that which is to come, "Elpis" (hope) and "Agape" (love). This album will be available on limited edition cassette, 10" lathe cut, and digital.

Proceeds from tapes go to the Long Beach LGBTQ Center.
