This album is a collaboration between Gallery Six (sound), D.R. Taylor (artwork) and EiramsAccord (essential oils).

The title is derived from a common expression “catch the flavor of the original”. It is in the things we see and hear without thinking that something important, forgotten and despised, lies hidden. It is just like unraveling the sourcebook. I produced this album in the hope that actually coming into contact with the disparaged sounds, flowers, and scents of these objects themselves will make us more aware of what is important and provide us with an opportunity to reconsider.

"Hanami" means cherry-blossom viewing

Catch the Flavor

Hanami

Overture. Hope.

Holding Patterns. Sometimes I think I spend too much time in airports.

Low Motion. Originally titled “Slow motion” until I realized there are thousands of songs titled “Slow Motion”. I dropped the “S”. This is “Low Motion”.

Static Lullaby. Probably not really a Lullaby per se, and maybe not ambient. You can decide.

Losing Yourself in the Answer. Perfect.

Go Home. I really am enjoying myself. I’m having a good time, but truth be told I really just want to go home.

One Foot. In this life sometimes the best we can do is put one foot in front of the other.

The Day the Internet Went Away. Inspired by a power outage. What did we used to do before the internet?

Geraniums. I think they are one of my favorite flowers for some reason, I don’t know why.

Seventy Eights. As in 78 RPM records where it all started. There is something fascinating about taking little clips of sound and making them into something else.

Losing Yourself in the Answer

Go Home

Throughout history, alchemists have captivated our minds with their quests to turn base materials into gold and seek the philosopher's stone. Their work was shrouded in metaphor and mystery, embodying a desire to understand the universe's hidden truths. Similarly, this collection of sounds endeavors to evoke the essence of that magical process. Each composition is a carefully crafted distillation of emotions, imagery, and ideas, resonating with the transformative powers attributed to the alchemical arts.

In Alchemies, Paul Beaudoin blends orchestral textures with glitch and noise elements, creating a sonic alchemy that mirrors the ancient quest for transformation. These contrasting sound worlds—organic and synthetic, refined and raw—come together in a seamless dialogue, embodying the fusion of disparate materials that the alchemists sought.

The album weaves through an auditory landscape, transporting you to the Fire of Calcination, where raw elements are purified, or the ethereal Black Sun, where shadows and light intertwine. As you listen, imagine the delicate Golden Transmutation—the alchemical transformation of sound and silence into rich tapestries of experience. Each track is an invitation to engage with the mysteries at the intersection of sound and spirit, reminiscent of the alchemist’s laboratory, filled with curiosity and wonder.

Join Ambient Cat on this journey as we explore the tenets of alchemy through sound, delving into the Salt of the Earth and emerging into the Albedo Phase, where clarity and illumination reign. Each piece is a gateway into an imaginative realm where transformation and transcendence occur—much like the alchemists sought, through their craft, to unlock the hidden potential of the universe.

aural hymncast #070

https://soundcloud.com/mattxavier has been a friend of mine for many years now. A fellow music obsessive and trusted voice when it comes to all things ambient, techno, and beyond, we finally managed to meet in person while I lived in Los Angeles, and we stayed connected over music ever since. 

We’ve swapped stories about pressing vinyl and running labels, and he was the reason I first crossed paths with Joel Mull (Damm) at one of his gatherings held at a beautiful Topanga home. It was a serendipitous moment that still echoes today. 

A proponent for the deeper layers found in music, Matt has since become a practician, ambassador, and pioneer for psychedelic soundtracking. Along the way, he shared tracks from ASIP and other labels that were influencing and guiding his private sessions, shaping the grand masterpiece we present to you today. As his practice deepened, we exchanged many texts discussing his ambition to publish a book about his unique experience and include an accompanying mix on ASIP. 

Matt’s new book, ‘The Psychedelic DJ: A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Music Curation and Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy’, (https://a.co/d/5bFxc2h) is a groundbreaking manual for anyone looking to bridge sound and healing. Whether you're a clinician, a DJ, or just someone who knows the power of a well-placed track, Matt’s work will likely reframe how you think about music’s role in inner journeys. 

His isolatedmix is a fully formed and accompanying ‘Protocol’, which is an example of one of his many guided sessions, referred to as “therapeutic DJing.” Psilocybin Therapy Protocol v1.22a, distills his craft and evolution in this practice for us all to dip into at a surface level, providing a peek into what are very personal worlds prepared for his clients. 

Alongside the mix, Matt joins us for a deep-dive interview, discussing his new book, his transition from rave culture to guided sessions, his real-time curatorial method and how music, when chosen with care, can become a tool for transformation.
