ARTIST'S BIO:
Inhmost is one of the monikers of S.Huxtable who wanted a representation for the more ambient and downtempo works that he creates which would allow the freedom of expression within these genres, deep space atmospheres and otherworldly soundscapes are the order of the day.

Situated in the South West of England the local area provides the backdrop for inspiration with the coast and countryside allowing an escape into the wild for moments of reflection.
Inhmost has solo album releases with Stasis Recordings, RE:ST, La Luna, Huinali, Captured Visions, Short Trips and Tonights Dream Records as well as collaborating with ASC on projects for Auxiliary. (Words by Human Lessons)

INCHMIX079: Romance Relic

RADIO.D59B / ON BOARD #1 w/ Laura BCR, Nems-B, Refracted

The new episode of our podcast series comes from @lowgravitysound: Technology and imperfection, raw and processed, so many concepts that lie at the core of Futurepast identity.

Low Gravity trained his mixing and production skills in the London underground scene, before he brought his sound to Rome where he co-founded @radiocircolo and Collettivo Sonico. As an enthusiast of electroacoustics and experimental music, he deploys his knowledge to sculpt the sound, and fuse elements from ambient textures, experimental and hypnotic rhythms.

The mix itself features tracks from essential pioneers Éliane Radigue and Suzanne Ciani, Brian Eno, revered sound designers and composers like Tetsu Inoue, Alva Noto, Pete Namlook or Robert Rich, and new coming talents like LF58, Grand River, and of course Low Gravity himself, with an unreleased track.

Futurepast Mix 11 - Low Gravity

As if it were a migratory journey, we move away voluntarily or forced, unfortunately some, from a cold and normally noisy city full of hectic lives and people with a thirst for power. A walk towards nature/forest where human voices cease to exist to transform into animal sounds causing a feeling of refuge and closeness. We leave behind a world of concrete and welcome the sounds of mother earth.

Milan native Matteo, a clearly devotee of nature, investigates sound with high enthusiansm and dedication. He wonderfully creates a mellow amalgam of layers using over-reverberated synths, field recordings, and self-created samples. Atoloi is constantly searching for another dephts in which the listener can get lost while getting submerged by heavy-grained noises and evocative instrumental compositions.

Matteo has left us the following text: “I tried to represent this slow march in a real and, at the same time, emotional forest, in which memories and the outer cosmos merge into a unique and cathartic experience.

A pleasant stroll through the forests of Ego. “A universe born from the perfect union between the external environment and the inmost emotional unconscious”.

@earthzone

Earthen Sea is the experimental ambient/techno solo project of Jacob Long.  He began releasing Earthen Sea material during the early 2000s. Released on limited-edition cassettes and CD-Rs, some of his earliest material utilized violin, tape decks, and keyboards to create eerie soundscapes.
In 2014, taking a more beat oriented approach, the "Mirage" EP was released on the Lovers Rock imprint.  This release was followed by the project's first full-length "Ink"which appeared on Lovers Rock in 2015. A digital EP titled "The Sun Will Rise" was released by Nicolas Jaar's Other People in 2016. Following a move to Brooklyn, Long released "An Act of Love," his debut on Kranky, in 2017. Two years later, the same label released his third album, "Grass and Trees," which presented a stripped-down, skeletonized version of dub techno.  The soon to be released album "Ghost Poems" will be his third release for Kranky.

END OF SUMMER MIXTAPE With Atoloi (Noods Radio - 30.08.2024)

Divenire Altro x Fango Radio presents Atoloi - Soliloqui / Concerti Per Cicale (26.09.2024)

Soliloqui / Concerti Per Cicale  (Soliloquies / Concerts For Cicadas) is a sound collage composed of environmental recordings, experiments with musical instruments and natural objects, excerpts from live performances, personal compositions and those of related artists that I have collected in recent months during my trips to Umbria. A land that has always evoked a complex feeling in me, a point in the intersection between the intimacy of being and the primitive nature of place.

In this microcosm are the tangle of thoughts that emerged from the hours spent in the car, the silent walks through the alleys of small and large towns, the sea of cicadas that inhabit its trees to the voices, more and less defined, of the people who dwell there.

Umbria is a journey, not a destination. And in the journey the boundary between looking and listening becomes intangible, revealing a path where what is voluntarily man-made dissolves into natural entropy.

Un enorme grazie a @trascendanza per l'invito, un sacco di amore per tutt' voi

Oi, i'm happy to share also here on SC my contribution to "Walk So Silently That the Bottoms of Your Feet Become Ears" curated by Gaia Ginevra Giorgi and Vittoria Assembri and broadcasted on Fango Radio. 

I've been a big fan of the series so finally releasing on it truly makes me happy, here's a small description of what has been the whole "lore" behind this live set/experimentation: 

This live set/jam/whatever, as notable from the title, consists of two macro-dimensions, which coexist and alternate like two voices in conversation: two souls that, at first, give each other space, and then merge into dense, kindred sound streams, losing and finding each other in a creative synthesis of a new narrative path.

On one hand, rain and wooden sounds emerge from recordings that, under the weight of the continuous rain dropping, resonate and arc in a continuous liquid beat. A silent crescendo of implicit nocturnal rituals, a dance that, between conscious and unconscious, invites to a real abandonment into sleep and the warm embrace of the bed.

On the other, dismembered voices, broken laughter and filtered sound signals, mixed in a sensory distortion, resonance and paint a small lake landscape. A lake, and in front of it, a city: stuck in time, as a symbol of a suspended civilization, an immobile place in an arzigogog of iron, marble and concrete.

Awe and melancholy merge, allowing a sense of latent malaise to emerge: a disease of the human. A pain that surfaces only when observed or remembered, and that finds relief in the constant return to meadows far from wet concrete, to depressions where roots tear up the soil, to small stone icons and endless carpets of chestnut leaves.

The path and cadence grow, evolve, into a choral paste. The music dissolves, becoming abstract desire: a song that recalls a distant world, a fragmented reflection, as if through a prism; an element that at the end of the tale, turns out to be a part of the inner being, destined to vanish in a sudden and final instant.

A quick moment, a loss of senses, a dismissal of one's nerves, a surrender to sleep. Everything fades into deep blackness, leaving room only for memory, a distant suggestion to be reckoned with, eyes wide open, the morning after.

Love to Gaia and Vittoria, thanks for having me <3 check the other episodes on Fango Radio because they're also really cool and feature many of my fav artists.

That's it, hugs from here,
Matteo

Atoloi - Prima Di Dormire / Febbre In Una Città Di Lago (for W.S.S.T.T.B.O.Y.F.B.E)

Devotee to Soundscape Ecology and music researcher, @_atoloi is the main project of the Milan-based Matteo Ghiringhelli (1997), which explores sound through a mellow amalgam of layers of echoing synths, processed field recordings, and self-created samples; all mixed in a lysergic experience of heavy-grained noises and evocative instrumental compositions.

Not sticking only to club-oriented sonorities, instead, his productions and mixes search for other depths, in which the listener can get lost in a dense "no boundaries" journey between the worlds of dance and meditation.

In a career path alternating dance-focused releases and more intimate ambient/field recording explorations, his music space fluidly through variegated environments such as sweaty clubs or festivals and musicology-related performances in museums or deep listening dedicated spaces.

Italian duo https://soundcloud.com/naturalelectronicsystem have been a force within techno’s underground since 2004, gaining respect through their much revered podcasts for cult websites such as mnml ssgs and Smoke Machine, as well as their international dj sets, including at Labyrinth in Japan. 

After a mesmerizing set at the Patterns of Perception opening party at OHM in April, we are pleased to have natural/electronic.system. provide the seventh installment of our mix series - an hour of groovy, slowly unfolding dub techno.

We also had a chat with the duo about the mix, their push into production, and the music that makes them 'vibrate': http://goo.gl/LxTbOH

@hydrangeamusic ’s life as a producer and DJ began relatively recently, when in 2014 she began expressing the quietness, wonder and intensity of nature in techno. For this prodigious French talent, creating and selecting music is an act of entering a deeper dimension, both transcendent and grounded in the hypnotic beauty of the natural world.

As a producer, she has released her own productions – which are lucid, mesmerising, arresting – on @annulled_music, @two-two-records, and @silent-season.

As a DJ, she is equally inspired by the dancefloors she plays to across Europe as by the nature around her home. She describes this mix for Patterns of Perception as a musical trip for one of her walks in the forest, creating an inner journey while being connected with the surroundings.

Wherever you happen to listen to it, we are confident it will have a similar effect on you.

Personal experiences, uplifting hopes, meditative fantasies and harsh realities are all carried in the third Amulet by Anasisana. A visual artist as well as a musician under several different aliases (Buried Alive, Nonchalant, Perfect Stranger), the Tunisian creator blends emotional slowcore songs, hypnotizing melodies and more abrasive experimental rhythms to breathe new air into the accustomed field of ambient music. His most recent release, a cassette titled "Perfect Stranger", was released by Trust Collective in September of 2020. In the work of Anasisana, thoughtfulness and subtlety shine a bright, yet melancholic light.
