Winter Solstice
Winter Solstice marks the second label compilation released by Arden Records, and is a cozy lo-fi gem that commemorates the different holidays that the diverse label roster celebrates.
National Parks, Vol. 1
Provided by the National Park Service Sound Gallery, a collection of short audio clips recorded during sound monitoring efforts in national parks, each of the eight tracks on National Parks, Vol. 1 incorporates actual field recordings from each respective national park that is featured, capturing the natural beauty of the unique ecological traits and distinct sounds from eight different national parks in the United States – including: Yellowstone, Lassen Volcanic, Zion, Sequoia, Rocky Mountain, Death Valley, Grand Canyon, and Yosemite.
Earth Day (Deluxe)
Capturing the beauty of our planet at its purest form, each of the ten tracks pull sounds from different biomes that make up Earth – including aquatic, desert, grassland, temperate, tropical rainforests, and tundra. Arden Records’ goal of releasing the Earth Day label compilation is to highlight the different ecosystems that paint the picture of our planet Earth through lo-fi and drive people to learn how they can do more to preserve nature in their daily lives.
A Timesless Motif
A Timeless Motif is a 10-track compilation by Arden Records in collaboration with London Symphony Orchestra, comprising renowned classical works reimagined in the form of wondrous lofi beats. The label roster came together to create a unique body of work spanning a variety of contemporary styles and providing audiences with a distinctive listening experience for relaxation, concentration, and enjoyment. Through its pioneering in-house label LSO Live, formed in 1999 as the first in a new breed of artist-owned labels, the London Symphony Orchestra provided orchestral performances as the foundation to each lofi remix, with soundscapes ranging from Beethoven to Mahler to Tchaikovsky. The goal of this collaboration is to highlight the common ground found between orchestral and lo-fi listeners seeking a tranquil auditory experience. Additionally, the album artwork designed by Stephen Smith, the renowned London-based artist, includes elements of both the City of London – where the LSO is based – and nature, to represent the philosophy behind Arden Records.
National Parks, Vol. 2
The Arden Records roster came together a second time to continue the annual tradition of creating a diverse and truly one-of-a-kind body of work to raise awareness of the importance of preserving not only our national parks, but preserving the planet overall. National Parks, Vol. 2 is a 12-track masterpiece album that incorporates nature samples of field recordings from 12 different national parks across the United States provided by the National Park Service Sound Gallery, a collection of short audio clips recorded during sound monitoring efforts in national parks – including: Mount Rainier, Badlands, Haleakala, Olympic, Big Sur, Arches, Adirondacks, Shenandoah, Channel Islands, Acadia, Noatak, and Joshua Tree.
