"Appearances" by Tomas Weiss and Anthony Paul Kerby is their second collaborative composition, building upon the solid foundations of "Distant Shadows" from Spring 2011. This new work forms an uninterrupted story of images and visions varying from bright expansive spaces to mysterious dark grounds, wind-swept caverns, and pools of pure emotional depth. "Appearances" is an immersive, expressive ambient release that is both lush and timeless, and will certainly reward enthusiasts of deep listening. Ambient music is not so much an imitation of reality as a way of conjuring alternate realities from its sonic layers, its motions, its moods, and from the listener who hears and is always alone but who temporarily lives within these shifting veils and breathing torrents of sound, and whose consciousness becomes engulfed, willingly giving itself over for a short while to the unspoken story of these musical phantoms, these metaphysical possibilities... these appearances.

"Distant Shadows" is delicate drone music and not only a deep listening experience, but also a highly relaxing one too!!! It's hard to exactly distinguish what Anthony and what Tomas brought to the table, but I don't care about this, because whatever it was, I liked it. Well done teamwork, Anthony & Tomas, and a very promising overture." (Richard Gürtler)

As with their previous two collaborations, Revelation is a masterpiece of complex and lush ambient soundscapes. Deep Grassow-like drones are expertly overlaid and entwined with a myriad details, subtle melodies, and inventive flourishes. Both majestic and yet deeply intimate, this is music that you can return to again and again.

El Hadra is founded by Tomas Weiss and it also involves several guest musicians. The first El Hadra release "Ornaments" is made in collab with Mathias Grassow ! The music is based on hypnotic as well as rhythmic elements, and it is intended for all deep states of trance and meditation.

Conscience, their first collaboration, is about as close to perfect ambient minimalism as it gets. This disc starts with a low drone that envelops listeners with its overtone qualities and subtle pitch changes. Mathias and Thomas build layers of atmospheres upon and from this drone. The atmospheres are gentle, cerebral and serene and they control the pace - slow, so slow as to approach standing still.
That is the unique characteristic of this set. The music evolves slowly and deliberately. It seems to hang forever in listeners neuropathways as it triggers serotonin and neuroprenephrin activity. On the surface, the overtones have no substance or purpose. As they enter the biosonic feedback device (read: brain), they define themselves anew and allow listeners to float at will.
For such a low-key soundscape, this CD evokes and promotes lots of activity -all of intangible and unquantifiable. While it might be impossible to dance to this music, it is just as impossible to prevent one's insides from dancing to it. The music infects the mind, the heart, the spirit and the soul with its positive energy.
With this release, Thomas leaps to the forefront of the ambient community. Association with a master qualifies as a major endorsement. Mathias, with more than 100 releases in his discography, qualifies as a master. This CD is as good an introduction as any for his music. It comes with the highest recommendation.

Thomas Weiss and Mathias Grassow creating a new sound, which works well for the traditional and contemporay listener. Deep and reflective. This is another big A ambient album, great late night atmospheric music.

Tomas Weiss and Mathis Grassow are known individually and as collaborators for their warm, beatless, often green ambient combining state-of-the-art electronics with instruments of non-Western origin. Here, they have crafted a dark ambient album in the best sense of the term, insofar as it creates and upholds a feeling of uncertainty and of being somewhere you could otherwise never visit. No chance of anything green growing here because there is no "here" here. No foothold. Instead of drifting, "Aestrata" hurtles. A rush of cold wind never relents, but riding the chinook is a deceptively-shifting kaleidoscope of monochromatic drones. There are many shades in the grey scale...

Grassow & Weiss join up for another spacious adventure, showcasing an hour of  high quality Ambient with an amazing array of subtle and intricate detail.Although the music evolves slowly and deliberately, it's probably one of  their most varied albums up to date. Ranging from dynamic and engaging dronescapes to razor-sharp produced textures, flavored with a touch of early Space Music.
Electric angels is a fusion of heart and mind. Leaving the industrial age of the 19th century and the information age of the 20th century behind, the 21st century opens the door to the age of consciousness. Electric angels is a musical representation of this passage from the old era into a new one. Limited CD in special two panel digi file.

Track 6 is a bonus track not included in the former versions of this album.
Ambient master Mathias Grassow and one of the new promising names in electronic music Thomas Weiss join up for another deep and hypnotic journey.
Quiet calling can be described as a mixture between 2 styles, ambient and psychedelic, yet it is enriched with complex cinematic-classical soundscapes.
Each track can be selected separately, although they all blend into each other seamlessly.
