Blimey, these chaps have a veritable arsenal of instruments and sound sources on here ranging from Field Recordings, electronics, acoustic guitars, cello, snare, harmonium, piano, vocals, bass and electric guitar, zither and so on. What they have created feels both earthy and organic but simultaneously otherworldly. The overall feel is pretty melancholic and emotional. I particularly like the field recordings and stranger sounds which act as an anchor, almost placing the listener within a specific space making the emotional experience more real. Lovely stuff as usual from Hibernate.

Matteo Uggeri and Andrea Ferraris met after having shared a series of collaborations with noise-ambient icons like Maurizio Bianchi/MB and Andrea Marutti/Amon. "Autumn is coming, we´re all in slow motion", is the result of their mutual interest in searching for the most balanced blend of experimental music and melody. The work has been recorded and assembled trying to recreate a sort of "ordinary-life" environment and to give this aural-diary the shape of a soundtrack. During this process, an incredible array of field-recordings and instruments were used with the main premise of creating an experimental yet melancholic record. This collaborative effort brought together the magic touch of Japanese musician Mujika Easel (Eisi, Mono, Taylor Deupree), that here is featured on piano and vocals, with Andrea Serrapiglio (Carla Bozulich´s Evangelista, Barbara De Dominicis...) who, beside playing cello, took care of the mastering. The field-recordings were taken from all around Italy and central Europe, while the rest of the music was recorded in Milan, Alessandria and Tokyo.
