This is an altered fixed media presentation of my location based soundwalk entitled "sound within a space, space within a sound" created as a final project for Professor Dafna Naphtali's performance class at NYU.

"sound within a space, space within a sound" can be enjoyed here for home listening or enjoyed as a location-based composition as intended with the echoes.xyz app:

This soundwalk is a sonic exploration through the southern section of Prospect Park, known as "the last forest in Brooklyn".

What once was carved by the Wisconsin Glacier has now become a dynamic landscape that has seen periods of vibrancy and decay throughout the park's rich history. The land of what is now the park was first settled by the Canarsee tribe and later colonized by Dutch farmers.The southern section of the park was planned by its creators, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, as an aquatic counterpoint to the open and wooded sections of the park. The area is now a bustling oasis for visitors from all walks of life. The park has a deep history and many in the community have seen the park undergo periods of both growth and decay.

This soundwalk is composed primarily using manipulated field recordings of the park superimposed on the space in which they originate from. Every piece seeks to defy expectation. Sounds that might seem organic and natural are in fact synthesized and sounds that appear to be artificial and synthesized are actually recordings from the natural environment. This soundwalk relies heavily on the use of reverb and delay as creative signal processors as they give nods to the history of the park, the many uniquely reverberant structures within the park, and the rich cultural traditions of the communities who live in the areas surrounding the southern section of the park.  

The soundwalk is informed by the historical evolution of the park but is also very personal as it reflects the uncertain but exciting journey of venturing into a new environment. Please enjoy and wander safely.

✵ A2 DJ RAT - Hexosphere

✵ B1 DJ RAT - Corridor
✵ B2 DJ RAT - Telepathic Climax

Pre-order on Bandcamp: crudeberlin.bandcamp.com/album/nocturne

Catalog Number: CRU002

CRUDE’s second record release features DJ RAT - hailing from the American Pacific Northwest, DJ RAT's signature sound is characterised by an eccentric, distinguishing and uncompromising approach - seamlessly blending intense, arcane and mystical elements in order to create a captivating experience.
Side A kicks in with Nocturne, the EP’s leading track that guides the listener into a veil of mystery with its enigmatic melody and its pulsating basslines that gradually build intensity while maintaining an underlying sense of tranquillity.
Hexosphere’s rhythm is edgy and straightforward with a trippy nature.

There’s an ever-evolving dynamic throughout the four tracks, alternating between driving rhythms and moments of serene psychedelia - evoking a feeling of introspection and exploring the duality of light and dark.

The B-side takes off with Corridor, an oscillating tension-builder.
Corridor’s distorted synths and glitchy effects cascade over pounding drums, creating a chaotic yet mesmerising soundscape.
Telepathic Climax weaves in and out with shimmering, harmonic and alluring shifts that add depth and dimension to the track.
Atmospheric and trippy textures create a sense of space and immersion throughout the journey of the EP - with illuminating elements piercing through the darkness.

We don’t really have a regular cadence or release schedule for the mix series, but when we release something, you can trust it will be special. That being said, very excited to share the second transmission in the Dance Data mix series, courtesy of SØMA. 

After hearing her play last year while in CDMX, I knew I wanted to get a recording from her. And as promised, it delivers on all fronts. Thank you @soma__mx

SØMA is the co-founder of tinyraves, a party from Guadalajara, México. Don’t be fooled by the name though, theyve booked international names such as NVST, Skee Mask, Sister Zo, Siu Mata and Amor Satyr.

DJ RAT - Corridor

We are incredibly excited and grateful to present 'NOCTURNO' - the first proper LP release by Chilean producer, Masot. The 10 tracks effortlessly traverse multiple genres throughout the album arc, showcasing a highly detailed and carefully designed sound palette - one which remains remarkably intact throughout the whole journey.

Moments of Nocturno feel melancholy and pensive, but never void of the hypnotic and percussive 2-step rhythms that feel like a darker take on the historically upbeat sound of UK 2-step and Garage.

Each song is meticulous, but not over-indulgent. The intricacy, melodic elements and club utility allow the LP to be as functional for the club as it is for at home listening.

Masot - Nocturno LP (DDD003)

Hailing from Bandung, the capital of the West Java province of Indonesia, Diannov Pamungkas emerged on to the scene under the alias of Xin Lie when he started hosting radio broadcasts alongside the local DJ collective C*SSS. He started djing in the hardcore punk scene that shaped his youth but it was his earlier childhood experiences that drew him to the traditional Sundanese performing arts Réak and Kuda Renggong. 

Kuda Renggong * (Eng. Renggong Horse), which is commonly practiced in the Sumedang Regency, is a procession of horses that are trained to dance dressed in colorful costumes, while being accompanied by a live band. 

Réak * is a community-based festive music performance from the Priangan area of West Java, organized during life-cycle celebrations ("hajatans") such as weddings, institutional anniversaries or occasionally city folk festivals. At the present time it is primarily held during weddings and circumcisions. 

Inspired by these Sundanese traditions, Diannov recorded the mesmerizing sounds of the Dogdog - a long tubular single-headed leather drum. He incorporated the recordings in his own unique style of percussive electronic music, which is infused with elements from the vibrant contemporary club culture. 

Xin Lie’s will release his debut album (co-produced by Tesla Manaf, Kuntari) on January 27, 2025.

This mix was recorded at a C*SSS event on Bali, March 30th 2024. 
The sample at the start of the mix is an activist talking about evictions in Bandung.

Bandcamp: https://kulturegalerie.bandcamp.com/album/mediterranean-blue
Release Date: 
Info: Kulture Galerie releases its 3rd Digital Artefacts cassette tape: "Mediterranean Blue" by NYC's own Alien D. Alien D is back on Kulture Galerie. Prior to this, Daniel Creahan has been featured on labels such as Lillerne Tapes, Banlieue Records, and Theory Therapy, and now shares a 6 track EP called Mediterranean Blue that lands on Filippo MSM's tapes series Digital Artefacts, the label's more experimental output.

The work is something of a companion piece to his recent release on Theory Therapy, “For the Early Hours of the World in Bloom,” exploring similar states with a more hazy, fluid sensibility. The compositions here trace back to a week spent several years prior on the Puglia coastline, where, in the midst of a read through of Helene Cixious’s Tomb(e), he began compiling a series of works drawing the gleaming sun, swirling waves and jagged, rocky coastline of the region, mixing in fragments of slow, pulsing low end, wafting synth elements and a range of processed samples dwelling on states of transition, life and love. Waves and dripping water swirl around lilting saxophone, kick drums drown the mix in heavily side-chained throbs of bass, and breaks rush in and out of the mix, making for a series of recordings that seem to view the dancefloor as a dream, always front of mind but hazily remembered.

“I was obsessed with these balances between the light-washed, dusty landscape and these quiet modest homes dotting the hills, and all I could think about was the passage of time, falling in and out and back in love, and the slow drift of memory,” he says. “It was like waking up with a new thought.”
