A weak, uniform sound, with a slow pulsation, began to manifest itself from infinity...A descent began, as long as the ascent ... Argonafts stepped onto a space body flying in an orbit guided only by him ...Having divided into a column, they began their journey...After some time they came to a river with dark, barely noticeable flowing water...A fragment of a colossal tree lay across, creating a small dam...I wonder who lived here at those times? And what power of the raging elements should have done this with this giant?

- We are wasting time...This planet seems to be floating in weightlessness, it feels neither cold, nor heat, nor bottom, nor top, nor light, nor darkness... It feels neither fear nor joy, does not understand its state which we call life...It trembles before the fundamental structures of our world...And its being is built in such a way that "never" repeats itself every moment and this is the only thing that so inevitably unites us...

- Indeed...
- I see here my whole life path to the end...

Melifera Podcast ⬡ Boskøw

"From a remote region, the stream embarks on a journey of interconnectedness. Of life and nature, of peace and the whispering of the wind through the trees. Percussions from afar, the temple begins the ceremony. The Karakorum mountains are invoked for a good harvest this year. The water from the snow melt comes down clear and brave, ready to continue its journey without frontiers."

Note:

"First mix of Sindh where he show us some of his recent influences, travelling from peacefull ambient to more psychedelic landscapes"

 "Sindh" (@sindh) refers to the ancient name of the indus river, taking source in Tibet and flowing through India to Pakistan. It tries to connect space and jungle and focuses on delivering  experiences that will have no genre borders.  -- He has released on @idorecords and @lowless-music.

Son of Chi returns to Astral Industries, alongside Spanish artist Clara Brea, for the collaborative release of AI-29. A product of fate, chance experiments, but most of all, sensitive artistry - ’The Wetland Remixes’ exists as a confluence of two kindred musical spirits, a wayfaring epic that draws together a rich archive of ecological field recordings, live instrumentation and higher inspirations. 

Ahead of Hanyo’s concert at ‘Avalovara listening club’ (Madrid) at the end of 2019, the curators (Diskoan & Josephine’ Soundscapes) organised a special dinner and arranged the meeting of Clara and Hanyo. As Hanyo recalls, “It was like stereochemistry. There was an instant match and understanding, and basically we decided in a split second to exchange recordings and to collaborate on future live and studio experiments.”  

The auspicious meeting of the two ignited a remote exchange of materials and ideas, as the world descended into a series of pandemic-related lockdowns. The first of said recordings included the stems of Clara’s ‘Wetland Project’ - a site-specific audiovisual project originally produced for Eufonic Festival (Spain), using field recordings from the Ebro Delta nature reserve (one of the most threatened regions of climate change on the Iberian peninsula). 

From this initial impetus, Hanyo began working on the first sketches of the album back in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Just like their meeting in Madrid, the project developed naturally and spontaneously with extraordinary ease. Later, Hanyo started adding field recordings from the Magic Cave and Wetlands of the ‘Kallikatsou’ (Patmos, Greece) as well as organic and acoustic overdubs, featuring bass, drums, percussion, guitars, oud, piano, hammond organ, wurlitzer, flutes, bells, and mouth harp. 

In the distance, the sound of birds peak through the effervescent wash of the wetland soundscapes. The pass of running water flows deeper into a land full of secrets never told. On the strike of dusk, the silhouettes of shapely trunks and foliage melt slowly into the impenetrable darkness. As darkness passes, light emerges, with exquisite moments of tranquility that seemingly emerge from nothingness.  

Beneath the shimmering veneer of textures, wildlife and melodies, one may hear the deeper references of ’The Wetland Remixes’. With credit to Clara’s input, for Hanyo the album process became a kind of refuge, and ultimately inspired the return to the core of Abstract Sound - what the Sufis call “Saut-i Sarmad.” Such references allude to the spiritual quality embedded in the music - the autonomous process of self-expression, the great mystery. Hanyo: “An ambience like this cannot be created by routine. There is no blueprint. The music has to find you. It’s like a blessing if it happens. You should not interfere, just observe and be impressed...” 

Deep, luscious mind trips as per the classic Chi sound, ‘The Wetland Remixes’ beautifully correlates the interconnecting dots of geography, ecology, and mythology’s forgotten lore.

Emerging from a thick spiralling haze, is the debut album from Mystic AM - a new project from Rod Modell and label founder Ario Farahani. Conceived as an immersive fictional soundtrack piece, the release tells the story of a traveller, some centuries ago, and the rather intense metaphysical experience he unexpectedly stumbles into whilst taking shelter on a hot desert night at Zein-o-Din Caravanserai, near Yazd in Persia. Dusk envelopes the vast barren landscape as the protagonist enters the ribat, treasures of woven silks, ornaments and exotic spices glint under the flickering oil lamps, swirls of perfumed vapour dance mesmerisingly in the darkness. As the music unfolds the events of the passing day quickly melt away, and the unsuspecting traveller is plunged into an otherworldly dimension. 

Utilising an extensive collection of old Iranian records as source material, the album is an intoxicating mise-en-scéne of whispering melodies, undulating rhythms, and atmospheric sound details. An active buyer of old Iranian music, Ario began extracting and editing samples from the records acquired during frequent trips to Iran over recent years - during which the mood and flavour of the project began to crystallise. Once handed over to Rod for further processing and arrangement, the album took its final shape - an endless tapestry of sights, sounds, and memories that fade mysteriously into the night’s reverie. Textures seep into one another in washes of colour, and hallmarks of classical Persian sounds filter through - the slow stroll of the daf, scintillating runs of santoor, and solitary lines drifting out of the kamancheh. Bridging the realms of the real and the imaginary, the collaboration signals the first contribution to Mystic AM’s enigmatic concept.

Twilight / The Great Mystery

It's with the utmost pleasure we're welcoming our next guest, diving back into the usual atmospheric vibes... Based in Mexico, the producer/Dj behind the label Secuencias Temporales delivers both beautifully curated discoveries thru his imprint, as well as himself refining his mixing with casket-treasured findings, for our ears delight. Out of his own, Jorge just recently released on the Label Unheard https://soundcloud.com/unheardlab and has been providing for Orb mag https://soundcloud.com/orbmag

Jorge Eafhm gives here a lesson of elegance when it comes down to mixing melodies in the best sense of the word, blending them in a flowery, slightly nostalgic and deep, soulful tale. Can say without much doubt: probably one of the best and most atmospheric submissions we received so far. Infinitely thankful for this beautiful, chiseled work and the obvious passion put in it.

Thank you Jorge <3 
Very much looking forward what's going to come..

PRIOR ACT #051 — Jorge Eafhm  [Secuencias Temporales]

For this second episode of Chimaera for Lyl Radio, we invited a dear Milano Artist, Atoloï. 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.

Lyl Radio - 15/12/2022 - 6pm
https://lyl.live/show/chimaera 

"When i started thinking about the way i could build this mix i had a completely different idea of it in my mind, in fact, i was planning to create a deep and fast-paced broken beat mix, like a continuous flow of rhythms directly polarized to the body. After actually starting, things took a completely different route, leading me to go search in that gap that links the mind to the physical world, the whole process of losing ourselves to search for a higher state as a Sufi that dances in a full trance. So, as an ecstatic experience, the mix grows slowly from a dreamy and crystal clear ambiance to deep and gritty sonorities, reaching its clue point with rattling percussion and cutting the silence with twisted rhythmic patterns. That fair of sounds won’t last much and just right after touching the peak, it will come back to nothing, concluding the mix without any kind of goodbyes."
