And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them. -Walt Whitman

this mix is the first of eight that have been used in a clinical setting by SABI Mind for over three years now. it has also been used by close friends and myself, many times over too ..over and over, as it was carefully designed for repeat use. to entrain to. to reach for as a reliable tool. for the purposes of meditation, clearing, unwinding, calming, relaxing, deepening, inner explorations & journeys, grounding, centering, focusing, resting, drifting, quieting, sleeping, transforming, transporting, healing and other related purposes.

it stands on it's own as a contemporary ambient mix and also fully functions in the sound wellness realms. it keeps the promise of holding space for the listener the entire time, without any blips or trips or artful overly expressive side-quests, just slowly and reliably modulating and evolving and unfolding.

it's called classic abstractions because, it being the first mix in the series, we start at the beginning and honour the foundations and feelings of classic ambient music ..as we also abstract from them (staying present in the now, not just in the past). many thanks and acknowledgements to the absolutely perfectly executed music made by all the artist's in the mix - a decent handful of them being local as well.

immensely happy to share this mix now, more broadly, with everyone.
please enjoy, be well, and be good ❤️

1 . CLASSIC Abstractions

In this mix, I focused on exploring the very edges of the sonic landscape, where beauty and destruction lie on opposite sides of the dynamic spectrum. Between them, one can hear the transmutation between organic and synthetic, fragile and brutal, beauty and fright. I really love the distorted build-ups originating in the gentle and soothing melodies, climaxing to their concerted peaks and then collapsing into beauty once again. It’s in this contrast that we find ourselves forever bouncing between the darkness and the light, only to accept that there is no middle ground and that this journey.

Ambient Abracadabra w/ Sofie Birch 260824

Early this year, we reviewed Nour Sokhon's Beirut Birds, which Richard Allen found to be "teeming with urgency, ... an example of an album released at exactly the right time." Another recent record, Beyond All Borderlines, is an evocative collaboration fusing Sokhon's field recordings and electronics with piano improvisations from Montreal's Stefan Christoff, released on Ruptured. Late last year, that label released Yara Asmar's engrossing Stuttering Music, and we've been deeply impressed by their ongoing output, with some very exciting releases on the horizon. For this joint mix, regular mix contributor Christoff joins Ruptured label owner Ziad Nawfal to select and mix various songs with field recording contributions by Sokhon. The accompanying artwork is by Mexico City based artist Margarita Barros, who also created the cover art for Beyond All Borderlines. Happy Listening.

Rhucle @rhucle

Rhucle is a Japanese artist based in Tokyo who began his activities in 2013. Since then, he has released over 80 works, including solo and collaborative albums, on labels from around the world.

He also runs his own private label, Night Coast, through which he consistently releases his own material.

From 2017 to 2019, he organized a live event series called Threshold, focusing on ambient artists. Through this platform, he invited and performed alongside numerous artists from both Japan and abroad.

Rhucle's music is primarily composed using synthesizers, piano, field recordings he captures himself, and samples from a variety of sources. However, he is not limited by conventional instruments—anything that produces sound can become a part of his music.

In addition to music, he also creates photographs, paintings, and collages, continuously exploring new forms of expression and artistic creation.

2017年から2019年にはアンビエントアーティストを主体としたライブイベント「Threshold」を主催、国内外多数のアーティストを招待し、共演を果たす。
彼の音楽は主に、シンセサイザー、ピアノ、自身で録音したフィールドレコーディング素材、様々な素材からのサンプリングによって構成されている。しかし、音が生成されるものなら、あらゆるものを使用し音楽を制作している。 
また音楽以外にも、写真、絵画、コラージュ作品などを制作しており、常に新しい作品を創造し続けている。
