Out of Season

“I liked the unusual side of the water – the bench set back
from the path looked up to windows rather than down
onto ploughed width. From here, I saw trees assert
their permanence, bending over backwards to prove
they still had it. Branches poked at homes then dashed – 
I was the lookout, or friend who misread herself included,
just one hand in the mischief. What a salve it was 
to pair a song with the moment and watch, feast and flee, 
drink all the good stuff that view had going free then leave. 
I did it once when a phone call felled me, or on days that
didn’t suit me, once again when I let a chance sail past 
like a bus I should have run for. We had an understanding, 
I thought. If I recognised how my body eased in this beauty, 
I could call a corner of it mine.”

- Ellen Renton

Eora (Sydney) based label Theory Therapy presents Out of Season, a 13-track collection of immersive ambient and downtempo recordings inspired by place, environment and the passing seasons. 

100% of the proceeds from the compilation will go to headspace, a national youth mental health foundation that provides early intervention mental health services to 12 to 25-year-olds.

TT001: VA - 'Out of Season' (Snippets)

The rhythms of sleep are unknown to the sleeper. Usually, only with interruption, or dreams, or through wakeful observation, are we made aware of them. And even then, only somewhat. On this cassette, Zenxen uses his research into the cycles of sleep and rest to explore and recreate the phenomenon of neural oscillations. 

The tracks sound as if they’re composed of water, vapor, and dust. Trails of percussive events and simple melodic gestures accompany low end sculpting that moves like water, vapor, and dust. Like a tour of the body’s rhythmic structures, these are the waves within, crashing on interior shores. The electrical activity of the brain’s neurons are measured in hertz—cycles per second. Using a range of sampling techniques, Zenxen recreates alpha, theta, and delta waves to construct sonic models of the brain in various states.

Collaging other compositional elements into the works, such as field recordings of whispering voices, and the rise and fall of cicadas, Zenxen forms a tapestry that resembles autonomic processes, like a breath, or a secreting gland. Lullabies in one sense—these tracks were composed for an overnight drone event in the artist’s hometown of Berlin—in another they are intensely awakening, serving as activations of specific frequency windows. 𝐼𝑛 𝑊𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑠 is a sonically cavernous descent, down into the brain’s most mysterious and rejuvenating depths.

Zenxen [ˈzɛn ˈdʒɛn] is an interdisciplinary ambient project from Benedikt Ellebrecht, combining academic studies in sociology, literature, and philosophy, time spent playing in post-punk bands, and ongoing participation in the underground electronic music scene in Berlin, Germany. 

Starting with experimentation with sample-based techniques, Ellebrecht has developed Zenxen into a digital musique concrète. He processes and reassembles field recordings from his immediate physical surroundings as well as drawing from virtual spaces such as the internet and videogames. As Zenxen, he has self-released 2 EPs and regularly performs live. 

Ellebrecht also contributes sound design for theatre and performance pieces, including at Ruhrtriennale Essen 2016 and at Staatstheater Darmstadt 2019 in collaboration with Niels Wehr. And in 2017, he co-founded the multimedia label No Disk (https://www.instagram.com/nodisk_/) with Joel AS (Arad Acid).

Fountain Chorus, Pt. 2

Japanese sound artist @yosuketokunaga debuts on @entangledvisions with "6 Lengths". Hazy synths and crackling ambiences appear and disappear over wide horizons of sound, resulting in a courtly and fascinating piece of sound research.

The abstract scenarios created by Tokunaga carry the listener towards gentle and meditative places, acting as sensorial bridges between reality and dreams.
