Welcome to this Atmospheres episode curated by Bålsam

Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Anthony Asher-Yates approached ambient music when he moved to Colombia, being inspired by the diversity of the ecosystems that exist in this region. Known for taking his listeners deep into the tropical rainforest, Bålsam has conjured up a dream world surrounded by nature. Anthony's music is composed by field recordings he does during his walks though the mountains where he now lives with partner Nina Nativa and his daughter.

Enjoy!

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.

Taken from Brendon Moeller - Vacuum [SMDE45]

Released on 2 Limited Vinyl Edition 12"s and Digital - https://brendonmoellerechologistbeatpharmacy.bandcamp.com/album/vacuum

Esteemed musical chameleon Brendon Moeller, renowned for his highly respected work in Deep Ambient, Dub Techno and a myriad of variations on these themes - turns his hand to 170 for Samurai Music.

Vacuum is the first fruits of this collaboration and encompasses a cross section of his approach to the tempo. Dub-wise 170 that hints at a deeper version of autonomic, but ultimately invents a new sound that only Brendon and his analogue dungeon could conjure. 30 years of mastering the art of the deep filtered through an all new tempo lens.

Vacuum is a gentle 6 track record that will become a close companion to those tuned to, or open to embracing the rewards of Brendons impeccable sound design and mastery of immersive, minimalist warmth.

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.

Immersive collaborative album of Atmøsphäre and Dionisaf, steeped in cold textures, shadowy resonance, and layers of abrasive noise, conjures a bleak sonic tundra — where icy drones, distorted textures, and shadowy pulses stretch across vast, unforgiving landscapes.

im not allowed to name tracks anymore x5

When John cage was asked about his completely silent composition 4:33, whether or no it was a whimsical or spontaneous creation, He replied:
“Do you mean, was it a joke?” Cage furthered that "spontaneous" could not be the right word in any case, that it took several days to write, but more importantly it had taken several years to make the decision to do so. What compositional eloquence he had, a javelin thrower who trains to throw only once, perfectly and on point.
Alas my work here on this album is only the hapless product of stumbling fingers, hammering out by so many orangutans fighting over garbage. 2 years in the making and I am still wishing I had cut my fingernails closer before I began banging on the keys.
There is a small lie in there, inconsequential but true. I barely play any real keys here. I was never a great instrumentalist and it grows less important to me by the day. It is ideas now I will try to dance upon, talk about, and bloody fist pound down to a handful of compositions that I have entitled “impossible”.
The first four of these have been lovingly set into vinyl by my sweet Italianese collegues at Hundebiss. God Bless their courage.

The context for this recording was sunrise at Organik festival 2017. Following directly after Steve Bicknell’s powerful and driving techno, my responsibility was to transition the party into a period of rest and recovery. Playing to an open-minded crowd in a beautiful setting allowed me to explore different moods and deliver a set that conveyed what I wanted it to. I think the recording does a good job of capturing that moment, and now feels like the right time to share it more widely. Thanks to the Smoke Machine crew for having me. – Chris SSG

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.
