Fans of my ongoing ramblings must be already familiar with music by Thomas Meluch who records under the alias Benoît Pioulard. And if for some reason you're not, you can begin with his albums on Kranky, starting back in 2006 and working your way up to the present, to follow a trajectory of this composer, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and photographer. Be sure to also round your journey with this studio feature, in which I profiled Tom back in 2015. He's done a few collaborations, including one with Rafael Anton Irisarri under the Orcas project name. For this gorgeous release on the one and only A Strangely Isolated Place we find Meluch alongside his long-time friend and collaborator, Luke Entelis, as Viul (pronounced 'vell' which rhymes with 'bell'), a New York-based ambient composer who has appeared on Meluch's own imprint, Disques d'Honoré, reserved mostly for his own self-released works, and Past Inside the Present, with Outside The Dream World in 2019. Their upcoming collaborative album is named after a Czech word for "the end" (you know, those final pronounced striking letters, that often roll up when the film reached its peak), capturing the uncertainty of the world amidst the pandemic. And while the pieces originally began as an exchange of sketches and short lo-fi loops, the music that followed is truly engaging. On my favourite track on the album, which I am honoured to premiere for you today, we find the duo painting with wide brush strokes in pastel colours, deep-textured warmth, and hazy memories. And although this piece at first appears to be a repeating, stretched, and saturated tape loop, the more you listen to its slow decay, the more it makes you feel alive.

"The variation in minutia, samples and instrumentation throughout the album cannot be understated amongst its hazy aesthetic and ominous poignancy. It’s one thing to notice the details, but another to unstick the melodies from the closing credits of a dystopian city’s downfall, from the forefront of your mind."

SVLBRD - The Waves

Subatomic, subaquatic particles bubble up to the surface while you seep into a dark blue void. Such is often the sensation one gets while listening to our next guest, Daniel[i]. His music has a distinct oceanic quality that can be as riveting as it is serene. With releases on labels such as Norite, Lowless, and his own Whispering Signals imprint, he has carved out a niche for himself among deep techno and ambient fans alike. After releasing one of his tracks on the last Unrush compilation, it was only a matter of time until we had him on for a mix. Here has prepared an hour-long live ambient set, exemplifying the true nature and depth of his sound. So put on your diving gear, get your airtank filled up, and let yourself sink to the bottom of the ocean...

Full Moon October 2024 Mix 

Easy Mixing with tracks side by side (not layered)

Due to a recording malfunction//error (mistake🙈) the session was stopped and picked up where the error occurred to finish the intended playlist (at 3:50:00).

The Tracklist will be split into, "Chapters," to easy mark where one would be in the mix and to be able to come back to if the listener takes a break.  It also marks where in the "Story" of this mix and who the producer is behind the sound.  As this mix particularly features the artists tracks from one of their EPs or LPs, to keep the sound consistent as to not wildly jump in sound design from one track to the next.

Also, a big thank you!  to all artists involved in this mix!  With all the happenings in the world it felt right to come to ambient music and I wasn't expecting to be bombarded with lots of good ambient.  With me finding all of this music in September, my time with this music became a staple to me during this time of the year.
(I do not own any of the music here!  If you like what you hear then i recommend supporting the artists directly on Bandcamp where more of the music can be found! <3)

So i hope people will enjoy this just as much as i had on that full moon night <3

Ambient 2

Simply a minimal, floating tune, subtle sonic wallpaper. "Repetition is a form of change." ... an oblique strategy ... stoney.sb.org/eno/oblique.html

Inspired by minimal drone music in general, the subtleties of an oscillator, filter, reverb, or any sound source.

Generations was used a lot when making this, check it out here:
