HNYPOT 382: Ben Bondy's Cocoon Mix

Exploring every avenue of electronic dub, hazy catacombs of smoked-out ambience and summery IDM, Inverted Audio founder Antepop delivers our next arch podcast. In his own words, “this vinyl mix marks my first recorded mix in 8 months, my Technics had been in storage for way too long, but with an invite to record an ambient mix for arch and some recent new additions to my collection, I had to get them dusted off and spinning again.”

The British selector recorded the mix in a conservatory surrounded by plants in the heart of rural England. “I dug out some of the finest ambient and downtempo records in my collection and put them together with a lone listener in mind. This is not for the dancefloor, it's to let the mind wander. I hope you enjoy listening to it.”

Join us for arch 0.4 July 9th at about blank berlin. Tickets via Inverted Audio.

MFM: Hi Aimée. In the musical landscape nowadays it often seems to be all about the final result (or product even) rather than the process and path before it. With your music it feels that it's more about the process of making rather than the final outcome. Where does your profound interest for experimenting with audio and composing come from?
 
GR: Nice to hear that you see it that way and to know that it may be perceived like this from the outside as well. The work itself and how we experience the process is what matters most. It’s not always easy to be mindful about how everything is created along the way. The end result or end product is important, but if you don’t enjoy the process of how you get there, I don’t think it makes much sense to even undertake the journey. And of course this applies to many aspects of life.
 
MFM: You've got a rich experience in doing technical work for and at radio stations and with other kinds of media. Did you have someone to teach you all the ins & outs of audio and technical production?
 
GR: Most of the technical work I learned directly through working as I did not go to any audio school to study sound design or audio engineering. When I started to work as an audio engineer for radio stations and other media outlets 13-14 years ago, there were not many audio schools like there are now. Back then, the people I worked with were mainly composers that had learned audio engineering on their own, just as I had. However, as a child, I was formally taught music theory and musical instruments. That, of course, came long before the technical work.
 
MFM: Your first official release dates are from 2017 but you had been active with experimenting, composing, and recording for a much longer time already. At what point did you find yourself confident and pleased enough to share your productions with the outside world?
 
GR: When I moved to Berlin in 2015 I took the first few years to research and study the sound I wanted to express and felt a connection to. Long before that, I was building and playing other genres. It takes time to find your sound and style, and the interesting part is that it continues to evolve over time. Even when you think you’ve found it, it still changes slightly.
 
MFM: Do you go to the studio religiously, regardless of whether you feel inspired or motivated? Do you have a certain routine when working in the studio?  
 
GR: I don’t go to the studio religiously, at least not to make music. 
I do work every day, but often I am just sitting in my studio listening to music, writing emails, or having meetings. Many people don’t know how much work is behind a project. From the outside, what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. I mostly compose in phases; I might compose a lot for two months and then the next month I will be focused on researching, or preparing a live show, recording a mix like I did for you, or creating a sound installation. I need time to absorb what I compose and let it rest, and then get back to it.
 
MFM: Are there any new projects that you're working on and can share with us? 
 
GR: I am working on several beautiful projects at the moment. This year I am working on different collaborations of which the releases will follow in the near future. I have a new album coming out either at the end of the year or beginning of 2023. I am currently working on an immersive installation and I will also be premiering a new AV show with the visual artist Marco Ciceri this summer.

MFM Mix 041: Grand River

Delighted to host @fergus_clark Influence mix on Oddity Radio for @12th-isle

@fergus_clark : The mix is quite simply a playlist of songs that reflect different genres and styles of music we share a bond of appreciation over. Some of them are classics from our early party days, some are records which contain many elements that are exciting to us. Some of them still get a lot of play, but most are quite reflective of this 2013-2017 era of 12th Isle. 

Turn on, tune in and don't drop out!

Further Information: https://bleep.com/features/Bleep-Mix-142-Pole

Pole’s Stefan Betke journeys through dub-techno, ambient and an array of spiritual music styles on his wide-ranging Bleep mix. Those aforementioned genres have always been a clear influence on Pole’s deep, weighty electronic compositions, and as such it’s no surprise to find several Pole originals among the track listing here - indeed, Betke sets the tone by beginning with Pole’s grainy ambient-techno track ‘Modul’. With these Pole productions anchoring the blends we are then free to journey off into passages of mind-expanding spirituality - for instance in the mid-section, which features tracks from Lou Reed/John Cale and Sun Ra, or the contemplative roots reggae tunes which are included in the mix’s home straight.

"I should be standing in a venue talking shit after a live show but instead i am sitting at home on my sofa. I feel a bit lost at the moment, no chatting in bars, no live shows. But i am happy. Very happy and in a good situation. I can still make music, work in my studio in Berlin and I made this selection of tracks for our friends at Bleep. This mix includes some older music which is in my record shelf for ages already and some new music which will stay in my record shelf for ages. Inspiring music and music for the soul. I hope you will enjoy listening. Stay well." - Pole aka Stefan Betke
