BSHDsantafe N​ū​eira invites listeners to lose themselves in the depths of their imagination, offering a journey through human landscapes via field recordings, darkened atmospheric textures and ith moments of beauty and intrigue. It's an album that rewards repeated listens with subtle glimpses of an architecture where sounds evolve and revolve around the human condition. Favorite track is the perhaps hopeful resolution in “Harmonia”. Favorite track: Harmonia.

groovydoom75 Patrick does it again, and as always, does it very well! Each release being different from the last, and with its own shade of uniqueness. A beautiful journey from start to end, beginning on the darker side and finishing bright. The droning effects and ambience - combined with expert use of field recordings - create the perfect balance and atmosphere. Highly recommended! Favorite track: Shaitan.

about

The original working title for this release was Dark Light, this phrase came to mind after the violence of October 7th in the Middle East. There's so much darkness and hopelessness on the media these days there doesn't seem to be much space for positivity to shine through!
This is the context in which Nūeira was conceived.

On it you’ll hear field recordings blend and merge with ominous, eerie drones, as Nūeira progresses lighter and warmer sounds emerges.

The overall sound and atmosphere on this release is different to that of my earlier ones. This is partly due to a greater working knowledge of my DAW and sound design in general.
Nūeira is a combination of the word Nera, a Hebrew name for light or candle and Noor, an Arabic name which means light.
I have added more information on both the track and lyric sections.

A special thanks to the people who made the recordings in Israel and Gaza. These added a whole other level to Nūeira, one which was integral to this release!
