Subatomic, subaquatic particles bubble up to the surface while you seep into a dark blue void. Such is often the sensation one gets while listening to our next guest, Daniel[i]. His music has a distinct oceanic quality that can be as riveting as it is serene. With releases on labels such as Norite, Lowless, and his own Whispering Signals imprint, he has carved out a niche for himself among deep techno and ambient fans alike. After releasing one of his tracks on the last Unrush compilation, it was only a matter of time until we had him on for a mix. Here has prepared an hour-long live ambient set, exemplifying the true nature and depth of his sound. So put on your diving gear, get your airtank filled up, and let yourself sink to the bottom of the ocean...

For our second offering of the year, we welcome a very talented artist and event organiser, based in Osaka, Japan..... Loe...

After meeting Loe in Osaka last year, and witnessing her perform a mind-bending techno set at a beautiful Muzan Editions x Astral Industries event, we connected through our mutual interest in the power of ambient music and its unique way of processing emotions. A form of therapy, if you will…

This mix is a beautifully woven narrative for cold nights and deep introspection…

Thank you, Loe <3

“My hometown, where I was born and raised, is Matsumoto City in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The city is rich in nature, with a view of the Japanese Alps mountain range.

It is a cold area, and when I was a child, it was not unusual to have heavy snowfalls. At night, when there is a lot of snow as far as the eye can see, it is quiet. The snow reflects the moonlight, and the sky becomes bluish and faintly bright.

The big tree that I could see from my room, which was usually swaying in the wind, was covered with snow and quiet on such a day.

It was a very lyrical scene, even to my childish mind, and I felt a sense of awe and fear mixed with affection, which made me wonder. But I felt somewhat lonely, and I didn’t want the morning to come. I was more inclined to bury myself in the silence forever.

I put the original landscape of my heart into this mix. Please enjoy.” - Loe

~~ About Loe ~~

Loe was born in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, and is the grandniece of avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama. She started her career as a techno DJ in the Kansai region in 2005, and after appearing at DOMMUNE supporting techno heavyweight Reeko's first solo gig in Osaka, she expanded her activities to the whole of Japan. She organises an ambient event known as "SLOWMOTION", in collaboration with AOKI takamasa and Endurance. Her storytelling development and layering techniques are her specialities, and her play style, which maximises the trippy immersive feeling that is the real appeal of techno music, has gained enthusiastic support from the scene.

The night is winding down, the climax has been reached. Smoke fills the spaces in-between dancing bodies as the energy wanes and the slow comedown begins. Often resisted, it’s a challenging time for many but not today as French producer Aiôn Lazura and his forthcoming ‘Biotope’ album strikes at the heart of the matter. As his music provides a soft landing for many a fragile soul through rhythmic downtempo and soothing melodies.

Synthetic Climax, the final track of the album is our premiere for today. Establishing a wonderful mood through melancholic pads, layered percussion lines and textures flitting in and out of focus. Aiôn gives space while providing a path forward that gently guides you to the rest that’s deserved.

Synthetic Climax and the rest of the Biotope release will be out on November 15th.

A Strangely Isolated Place proudly presents Mirror EP, the first label release from Hungarian electronic artist https://soundcloud.com/swanasa (A. Abigél Bánházi). Following her 2023 debut, When You Need to Rest, Let the Sounds Hold You, released on Budapest’s EXILES, Abigél’s Mirror EP serves as a captivating follow-up and a purposeful first introduction to the world of ASIP, showcasing her ability to bridge experimental sound design with hypnotic, meditative drones.

“We begin at the edge, the Sad Sea, where the waves mirror our emotions, a boundary between the conscious and the deep unknown. As we dive, the waters grow wild, swirling in the chaos of our unconscious. But through the storm, we start to see the patterns—guided by the wolf, the soul’s escort through the shadows.

Deeper still, silence falls. In this quiet, the voices of whales, and dolphins become our companions, leading us toward truth. The water washes away the darkness, and in that stillness, the swan rises—a symbol of transformation, of wisdom found.”

~

Mirror EP encompasses a diverse range of textures, from deeply immersive soundscapes to intricate rhythmic elements, reflecting swanasa's dedication to pushing the boundaries of ambient music, informed by the interplay of folk culture, Jungian psychology, and digital experimentation. Each composition is a seamless blend of synthetic and organic sounds, influenced by her connection to nature, creating an evocative experience that resonates with themes of ecological awareness and modern technology’s role in artistic expression.

Featuring rhythmic chanting and layered vocal samples that invoke a sense of ritual and deep introspection, washes of abstract sounds manipulated from the recordings of wolves, and mystical sounds straight from nature’s own. The EPs tracks highlight swanasa's exploration of sound as a symbolic language, inviting listeners into a world where the lines between reality and imagination blur.

swanasa's music is brought to life through her live performances, where Mirror EP and her previous material form the foundation for dynamic, meditative sets. Having performed alongside artists such as Abul Mogard, swanasa’s live shows emphasize deep listening and immersive sound environments, drawing audiences into her unique sonic world.

Mirror EP will be released on November 22nd, 2024, available as a digital download, mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri @ Black Knoll Studio, New York. The artwork, an original texture created by Zsuzsi Palman, continues the theme from Abigél’s first EP.

Even more new grounds, as we're starting a podcast series in addition to our radio show ✨ After his TSS appearance in September, @shoall started assembling music inspired by the live set he did at the ISOTOOP party in the desert of Marrakech. He also added new music and this felt like the perfect time to launch the series. So a huge thanks to Shoal for the creative pleasure! Cover design by Rutger Paulusse & Frank Burghout.

Shoal _ TSS podcast 001

Markus Trige Frandsen AKA Respira is one of the co-founders of Nature Tales and a resident musician of The Vibroacoustic Studio in Copenhagen. For the past 2 years his creative work has mainly been centered around music performance for yoga and meditation. Creating soundscapes of free form and fluidity, exploring texture and depth and playing with the contrasts and similarities of organic and electronic sound, he aims towards union and coherence between nature and technology.

“Since being invited to participate in the multi-sensory installation The Vesica Project one year ago, I’ve had the honor to work with sound and vibroacoustic technology together. In this case meaning a floor turned into a subsonic speaker, vibrating the body of the listener lying on it, creating a physical dimension of the music which can be an extremely relaxing, sleep inducing and even pain-relieving experience.

In May, Nature Tales opened up The Vibroacoustic Studio in Copenhagen and the exploration of this fusion of art and technology is now going strong, with weekly sessions of sound-massage, movement, yoga and concerts.

This is the first of two short sets I played for our introduction sessions for Vibroacoustic Sound Massage on the 5th of July 2020 - an improvised journey combining deep synthetic atmospheres, traditional acoustic sound-healing elements and field recordings”
