In the blue heavens
Scattered from dust - an ancient blow

Uninvited flames of the altar
Run over the wings
Of the butterfly spool

Meter by meter, loose
Landed on the hands of tower

The sky limits no air
Illusions of ear and throat.

An eternal liminality amidst of the fading blaze - sunset speaks so much of  light. Adorned by the dust-covered sundial, a candle being blown out since the crack of dawn. First, the hour hand and the minute hand - chime rods clang without touch. To remember: the core of arousal. The body / as foliage / as traverses too ceaseless to bring up the rear.

‘Butterfly Tongues More Ancient Than Flowers’ is the grandeur revival of early electronic era in the personal and subtle twists of a rethought perception of time. For the same reason, the matter simply drifts through it—not itself, but its own persistence. Copenhagen based artist - øjeRum maintained the reminiscence of rending impulses and rhythmic formations at the turn of provoking co-existing worlds, laid bare in the sempiternal totality.

After last year’s Black Clouds Above The Bows, Amsterdam-based collective Wanderwelle presents the second entry of their trilogy for Important Records, which is dedicated to telling the story of the climate crisis and its effects on coastal areas around the globe. For this album the artists incorporated the sound of a dying organ, fatally wounded in a climate related event.

"All things that have form eventually decay."

After last year's tenuous offering "Another Fall," Craig Tattersall (A Humble Bee) returns with a new collaborator in tow, Erik Williamson. Together the duo unveil a body of collaborative work titled 'remnants', showcasing a near hour-long offering of unfaltering melancholy, with each piece engulfing the listener in an abyss of tape-laden hiss, while drifting ever so slightly into aimless reverie.

Glyn Maier is a sound artist and field recordist living in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina. Non-city outdoor spaces are essential to Maier’s practice. With a formal education in physics and
music composition, Maier’s preoccupations with natural objects, landscapes, and their social histories guide his recordings, which are then integrated into electronic works utilizing organic rhythms and complex timbres. Maier’s abstract synthesis work is deeply informed by sound design, but his larger focus is on the agency of both machine and environment. Another facet of Maier’s sonic practice is enmossed, the label he founded in 2017. Dedicated to contemporary sound, all profits are donated to positive causes of the artist’s choice, and materials for the tapes and records are hand-constructed out of recycled materials. Its catalogue is distributed internationally by shops such as Boomkat (UK), Rope Editions (Korea), and Tobira Records (Japan).

About the mix
The backbone of the mix is a segment of a longer vinyl DJ set I recorded utilizing a +/- 50% pitch range between two turntables recorded live on Halloween 2022. With an aim towards stretching sounds and favoring extended blends of tracks, the crossroads of fall and winter/past and future were melded into one, on a night deemed especially conducive to the intertwining of material and spirit.

That recording has found a new life through a dialogue with doris dana. In addition to editing the mix to fit the time-constraints of a radio program, dana also added live improvisations, dialogue snippets, and a few additional tracks.  dana has elevated this mix into a perennial listen, seasons stacked in superposition. The wheel is always turning, but this mix may place us at its hub for a moment.

Artists included in this edit of the vinyl mix include: Arthur Russell, RJ Miller Trio, Gossiwor, Sam McClellan, Brent Snyder, Cupol, Glyn Maier, Javier Segura, Harold Budd, Tapiolan Yhteiskoulun Kuoro, Eliane Radigue, Steve Roach and Tarawangsawelas.
