The Silent Season

Silent ~ making no sound; quiet; still: a silent forest.
Season ~ One of the four periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), beginning astronomically at an equinox or solstice, but geographically at different dates in different climates.

Silent Season is a dub influenced music label with deep influences of ambient and techno music based on Vancouver Island (Canada). We distribute our music via free high quality downloads or through short run cds.

The label sounds grew out of the connection between deep music and our natural surroundings here in British Columbia, Our lush rainforests and coastline offers some of the most radiant and aural beauty in the world. Sharing a vision and a passion with a family of musicians from all over the world we hope you enjoy what you hear.

Sit back, close your eyes and listen.

Vancouver Island Forests

Vancouver Island lies in the temperate rainforest biome. On the southern and eastern portions of the island, this is characterized by Douglas-fir, western red cedar, arbutus, Garry oak, salal, Oregon-grape, and manzanita. This is the heavily populated region of Vancouver Island, and a major area for recreation. The northern, western, and most of the central portions of the island are home to the coniferous "big trees" associated with British Columbia's coast, hemlock, western red cedar, amabilis fir, yellow cedar, Douglas-fir, grand fir, Sitka spruce, and western white pine. It is also characterised by broadleaf maple, red alder, sword fern, and red huckleberry.
