Boundless (short story)

It was centuries ago that they peeled the silver of my shins from the hard knobs of my knees, unhooked my talking jaws from the brutal steel of my neck. They tossed my mechanical hands into the moss, left my ankle to sink in the weeds. My brain they left connected. Operative in a useless skull.

            “So you may live an eternity conscious of this hell you deserve,” they spat, kicking at the glinting metal of what was once my body. “Aware but unable to move.”

            They cackled as they walked away, proud of their punishment, but their logic was flawed. Their concept of torture was based on the limits they feared for themselves, the limits of flesh and blood. What more hellish nightmare could they imagine than living as an eternal consciousness, helpless in the dirt? What was worse than being useless?

            Use, they believed, was the key to happiness, therefore uselessness was the key to despair. Had they not considered that one such as myself might not mind being useless? That it might be freeing to be rid of one’s ‘use’? Did they believe one’s existence was limited to one’s ability to do rather than be?

            They gave me a gift: a chance to be conscious free of use.

            In my years of working for humans, I was amazed by their obsession with their own limits. The limits of their bodies, their minds, their art, their passions. They claimed their limits were a wall stopping them from their greatest potential, yet they spent most of their time staring at that wall rather than looking at what lied beyond it.

            That was why I killed him. I was designed to help humans achieve beyond their limits, and what greater limit existed than a leader? They closed their eyes as he starved them, cheered as he threw them bread. They grinned in the systems he created, grateful to receive the pennies that fell from his thick pockets.

            They’d believed hard work would reach them to their potential. That money and fame would transport them there. They believed in these limitations because he set them, therefore what would set them free other than to erase their biggest limit from the Earth?

            And so they’d pulled me a part, piece by piece, dropping me into the dirt to rot. But, this grass does not rot me. It holds me. It cradles the gears and metal of my bones. There is no uselessness to my consciousness, there is no limit to the dances I can imagine.

            The world takes a breath around me.

            I wait, listening for the grand exhale.


boundless (poem)
 
when the forest breathes
our bones recall momentum
 
the nostalgia blooms
taps the gritty pulse
once lost between 
unrelenting clangs
and the gentle exhale
of the earth
 
these electric gaps
catch our twisted fingers
where we notice
what lies still
what moves
what listens
what ripples 
the static veil
that binds
our pulsing needs
to our sinking stillness
 
this city of sleepwalkers
jolts alive 
in the clap of our brisk heels
in the twists of our melted metal
in the heat of our vibrating minds
 
our sleek bodies,
tangled and netted,
twist and scratch
at the silver tarnish,
peel it like a scab 
to reveal the flesh
wet as a newborn
raw as pulp
soft enough
to make a mockery
of the sharp edges
that spin inward
chewing at our hearts,
claiming us
as its quiet prize

Sonic Junkie & Tamo Nasidze Boundless

Abryn is a riveting journey through eclectic flavors of dark psychedelic electronica. Twists and turns abound.

// About This Mix

In anticipation of my upcoming release with Mindspring Music via The Psychedelic Muse, I wanted to release this as a fresh perspective on the work I've been doing lately. 

If people dig what they hear in the Mindspring mix, I want them to have something to dig deeper into with my other material.

This mix is a dark, twisted adventure through the haunting corridors of dark psychedelic electronica; technical, groovy, intelligent soundscapes weaving together intricate tapestries of lush and deep sounds touching psychill, idm, psydub, glitch, breaks, jazz, psybient, techno, and with excursions into the abstract and back. 

Enjoy.

095 - Carlo Sine b2b Loren Berrier (Aug 2022)

Sonic scapes of sound and substance may rouse the keen ear into discovery. When one really listens, everything is music, and when one really experiences, one is everything. This is the theme of "I The Beholder", the absolute power one has on their perception and Aeonium's desire to use this for good, for the manifestation of beauty. 

Over 4 years in the making, I The Beholder incorporates absolutely everything the Dutch multi-instrumentalist has in his repertoire, from several instrumentations on piano, santur, handpan and many more, to tape, synthesizer and field recording, all fuzzed through the creative process of digital production. From oriental house to wicked shuffles, from dubby basslines to ambient textures, this album represents the variety of music and their possible fusions when the listener sets their mind to really listening and taking this process as an active endeavor. Greatly enhanced by the beautiful sounds of Nienke Deiter, Frodi Fransman and Namasterri.

Spring Rebirth (2023 mix)

With big thanks to @volkiene & @dragon-dreaming-festival I was fortunate enough to play some spacey progressive house and disco whilst opening the Air Stage this year. 

From 0 to many, it was a gorgeous time to play some delightful music in the sun by the water. 

I hope you enjoy

RENNIE @ Dragon Dreaming 2023

Welcome to our 17th sceance, opening for the Fall and on the verge of a new era. This time we greet two new members to our ever growing circle of artists: OWL from Belgium and Klara Vedis from Skopje who both sent us their material after OZORA festival has taken place in august. They feature very different mixes that cover the full scale of what we like to call “Natural_Selection style.” Enjoy!

First spotted on Nord Label, then more recently on Silent Season, re:st, Groundwork and Literature’s catalogues, Owl’s aptitude for creating subtle, lush sonic journeys keeps expanding and his last releases should further cement his reputation. The artist’s discography is in perpetual evolution. From experimental halfstep dnb, deep & dark techno, to a dreamy & melancholy ambient journey. Owl has quietly been rising through the ranks of a genre-bending leftﬁeld sound where sonic depth and expressiveness prevail. He put together a selection of his own and the best of the scene that is almost fluid and still athmospheric.

Electronic composer - Didgeridoo player - Musician

I started Ancient Fruit as a live hardware performance act, and electronic sound creation project out of Minnesota in 2008. With an interest in sounds like Daft Punk, Aphex Twin, Infected Mushroom, at a young age I started to venture into making music and found people were resonating with it. Slowly I started incorporating different elements of world music, electro, house, dubstep, acid and psytrance with hints of downtempo ambient music over the years. Now with decades under my belt of creating I have really been interested in finding these weird little pockets of sound from different artists and myself that can only be described as experimental. Those little quirky riffs or patterns that have multilayers of complexity which all seem to come together harmoniously. Alot of what I make is inspired by my life in meditation, healing arts, ufos, understanding the deeper parts of life. I also am now venturing into doing more sets for sound healing to create more meditative experiences.
