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

Portland-based ambient artist Patricia Wolf pays tribute to the late Julee Cruise in our latest specialist mix.

“The enchanting voice of Julee Cruise is unforgettable once you've heard it.” says Wolf. “The news of her passing and to learn that she was suffering so much breaks my heart. I hope she is now at peace.”

afloats timid Moon,
enamored by the Goddess of Blue lush,
dances roundabout on a spree,
in lunar lunacy it swoons."

Belle confusion: F-ON

— Artist Intro —

F-on (Alfonso Pomeda) is the owner of Alpenglühen (the label) focused in deep and ambient techno which explores the thin line between light and darkness.

His progressive sessions, profound and with long mixes, are real voyages that sail through experimental music, ambient and horizontal and dubby techno.

F-on's productions are 4x4 experiments of low tempo with field recordings and marked spaces, where he explores timbres, textures and cinematographic structures. He is a resident at the Alpenglühen and Taiga sessions and owner of the label Antimatter together with Bule.

Deep Breakfast 240 ~ F-on

Alfonso peacefully weaving dubby, minimal and hazy rhythms.

"This mix contains several of my current favorite minimal and techno records and also several classic gems of the genre.

For personal reasons, it was recorded at night, with the volume low on the speakers, which complicated the process a bit. It's not my most technically perfect session, but, on the other hand, the situation forced me to make a kind of blend and speech without stridency and this has built a very interesting sleepy atmosphere.

It's the music I could play nowadays at an after hour club and the way I would play it."

Quédate en CALMA Vol.3

@f-ondj is the main character for the third virtual listening chamber, in conjunction with Josephine’s visuals. They propose a trip inside ourselves, an active listening set that works as a therapeutic meditation ritual and a surrender/ trance induction. 

You can download the entire file (audio + video HQ) from our new site: https://calmamadrid.es

These are the instructions to create your own “Cámara de Escucha” (listening chamber):

1 - Downloading of the file from our website
2 - Preparation of the listening chamber.

A room in the dark is needed, with a good stereo sound system and a TV monitor, computer or projector, where the videos can be projected.

In the ideal listening position, the head should be at the height of the speakers, in a frontal position and centred between the left and right speakers. The use of headphones is also recommended.

We suggest: sitting on the floor, on a sofa, or in a comfortable place; and watching the video on a TV, or computer screen

How to proceed: Choose the best moment, alone or in company, adapt the space, relax and disconnect.

We invite you to share the experience with us, write to: calma.club.madrid@gmail.com
