ambient Ambient II( incl.classical, experimental & exibition music )

We welcome Tornado Wallace (@tornadowallace), long time friend of the label and whose record 'Falling Sun' we released through Second Circle back in 2016.  Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hey Lewie, how have you been lately?

TW: I dipped out to East Asia and Australia for the infamous Berlin winter and now I’m back ready for the euro warmth. Though it’s in no hurry to arrive here just yet.

MFM: There's a new record coming on Basic Spirit, the label you run with Jamie Tiller, and it all looks rather secretive... Can you tell us more about it Lew E? :) 

TW: I made these tracks when I was holed up sick for a week. Not being able to go to the studio I relied strictly on samples and software, which was fun to change the workflow up a little bit. I wanted to make some very club ready tracks, without any intention for a release. They (rather obviously) sample two well known tracks, but there’s a lot of new ideas too. I use a different name as it felt like a different style and approach to how I usually go about things. I think there will be more Lew E things on the horizon though :D.

MFM: Previous releases on Basic Spirit also had this '90s touch to it. What is it that you like about (music from) that era?

TW: I grew up in the 90s so a lot of the music coming out then really hits the nostalgic feels. But also, really interesting things were happening with technology, and it became a lot more affordable to put together a record. So there were a lot of - for lack of a better term - laymen releasing electronic music. Some of which had very new and out-there approaches to processes like sampling, mixing and arranging. But trends and technology all moved along so quickly that some of these sounds and ideas never had a chance to get fully fleshed out. Which is why it’s nice to pick up where some left off. People are currently very responsive to this late 90s/early 2000s sound, which is great for me because that’s a time when I really fell in love with electronic music. As a DJ, I’m playing these really personal tracks that I discovered as a teenager, and for the first time since I began playing parties/clubs 18 years ago, people seem to really understand them. It’s a very cool feeling.

MFM: You've also started a new more pop oriented project called a.s.o. together with vocalist Alia Seror O’Neill. Has it always been a dream or goal of yours to start a more band kind of project? Does it require a different writing/recording approach compared to when making dance music for the clubs?

TW: I like making music that I like listening to. And with the pandemic in full swing in 2020, I was having a little break from club music, and diving deeper into other styles of music I enjoy. Both from a listening and producing perspective. I found it to be a very different approach. It’s more melody/hook driven and focuses on getting ideas down quickly as they’re forming. A lot of the time I would use a basic keyboard and guitar to record, and Alia would add vocal melodies and harmonies on the fly. Sometimes it could get difficult when we would both want to put our fleeting ideas down at the same time! On that note, collaboration is never easy for me as I like to have full creative control of whatever it is I’m working on, and sometimes the creative paths divide and compromises have to be made. Sometimes the compromised path is thick and thorny, and sometimes it is paved gold and smells of roses.

MFM: How did you go through the selecting and recording process, any specific record or mood you had planned?

TW: I came across a bunch of really nice tracks all in a relatively similar downtempo/shoegaze style, and wanted to make a mix of music like that. For moody home/car/train etc listening. I also included a forthcoming Cousin remix of an a.s.o. single which I love and wanted to share early!

Living Room n°57 ~ @iptello

q. pls introduce yourself

It's Irene (@ip.tello / www.ireneptello.eu). I'm visual/digital artist and designer in my non-free time. I collect blue sky images, round shape objects and early morning light shadows.


q. is there a story behind the mix?

This mix is a very special selection of some meaningful tracks that inspires me and takes me to my own center as an extension of my own energies. These are rare findings in this last years, recreating visual/sound or even physical memory.


q. what’s the best way enjoy your mix?

Lushful, uncanny and savvy feeling. Probably at some beautiful natural space, when light is falling and the sky seems melting into deep blue/violet tones - A sense of inner peace.


q. describe a favorite object in your living room...

I have many favorite objects as I'm an object fanatic. I would say a blue turquoise feather from a bird that I found traveling around and now I just keep it on a white ceramic vase at my own apartment.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

I’m working at the moment with sound artists/records labels making cover artworks and visuals for new EP releases. Also working on my own projects and some collaborations. Recently I was invited to make an AV liveset with my visuals at La Nature festival in Belgium in a very experimental/ambient atmosphere and it was beautiful.

Beautiful Mistakes Podcast

This is the 108th Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics. These monthly released sessions brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer. I am very excited for this months session because Karen Vogt is presenting her mix with fresh new music and  dives into atmosphere, nature, chanting and peaceful little sounds that emerge in all tracks that she selected for this occassion.

About:
Karen Vogt is an Australian artist who uses her voice primarily to create atmospheric compositions. Mostly known for her ethereal, shimmering vocals with Australian dream-pop band Heligoland, that she co-founded in 1999 (produced by Robin Guthrie). She is now based in Paris, France and composes experimental and ambient solo works based around improvisation, often manipulating her vocals to add layers of emotional depth to her works. She also has a fortnightly radio show on CAMP where she plays 2 hours of new ambient, electronic and experimental music.
Her mix for September is inspired by the shift in the weather from late Summer to early Autumn. Her intention was to create a soundtrack with which to watch the fading light and feel the temperature drop. The mix includes an exclusive unreleased track from the forthcoming Guentner | Spieth album (out on AFFIN in October) along with a selection of new releases ranging from experimental ambient to pop ambient. Some vocal ambient tracks are included with Vogt's own works, remixes of her work and her GALÁN / VOGT collaboration with Spanish composer Pepo Galán.

PENDER STREET STEPPERS w/ Doc Jay 171023

One of the most exciting and influential figures in contemporary underground electronic music, Vladimir Ivkovic is not just a DJ, but a storyteller of sounds, a connoisseur of music and a brilliant artist. With a unique talent for selecting records and slowly inviting them to intertwine into complex and compelling narratives, Vladimir has been pushing the boundaries of electronic music since the 80s. 

Although he has been making music for almost two decades, he really honed his craft and gained exposure when he became resident at Düsseldorf’s Salon des Amateurs club alongside Lena Willikens, Toulouse Low Trax and Wolf Muller.

Immerse yourself in two hours of deep listening with this Rasputin-like, but actually very gentle man who explores notions of beauty and tranquility through unusual frequencies created by playing records at the wrong speed.

N°123 - Orpheu The Wizard

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

As our trajectory accelerates head-first into another year, it’s more important than ever to slow down and catch your breath. As automatic as that may seem, I’m talking more about the metaphorical meaning of breath aka a self-imposed moment of peace and quiet. To comprehend such a thing nowadays it’s crucial to have a soundtrack, and this episode of FHUO from the Daisy Records crew is the perfect accompaniment to refill the oxygen tanks. Frankifettucini & Obelix have created something truly special in this two-hour time frame, a magical trip through the sky, hopping from cloud to cloud, chasing a never-ending sunset. 

This mix is a true masterclass in immersion, which is what you would expect from two music nuts who run an incredible record store, as well as releases under the Daisy Records sub-label and curated events that really showcase what Naarm has to offer. They get it, and so will you after you listen to this. Enlightenment at its absolute finest, lose yourself then proceed to find yourself. See you on the other side. 

Peace & Love

Since 2012, Cass. has released albums of varying styles, from the rather organic and loopbased ambientpieces on Loops & Farewell Sketches and the Red Atlantic EP on Throne of Blood in 2017, influenced by 80’s pop sonics, to the more balearic and percussive recordings on The Sound Of Glades together with Wolf Müller in 2016. 

On his 2019 solo album Postclub Prism on Into The Light Records, Cass. explores his affinity to calm and atmospheric ambient music at the treshold to the sound of club music that - an important note in this context - did always play an immense role in the personal and artistic development of Cass..

In late 2019 Cass. collaborated with long time friend Marvin Horsch aka Gianni Brezzo on the LP 'Masala Kiss', released by the lovely Basso of Growing Bin Records. For Patrick Ryder (Piccadilly Records) 'Masala Kiss' sounds like "emotional ambient, soft focus synthesis and pastoral programming and connects the ideas from early and contemporary works to a hopeless romantic record".

In 2021 Cass. announces another solo album called 'Ambient Music For A Young Girl', to be released on Growing Bin Records in 2021.
In addition to that, Cass.' and his long time partner Niklas Wandt are about to release their recording 'Esculturas Rupestres' on the Salon Des Amateurs affiliated label candomblé in the same year. The record delivers an enchanting collage of spoken word, ancient drumming, synth ambi(val)ence and free improvisation.

I like smooth & metamorphic Tech, Ambient & Leftfield electronic music, new varieties of Patterns & Sequences,.. the possibility of a much wider world that corresponds to the already wide possibilities of modern music.----FREE PALESTINE  &  EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS WORLDWIDE !!!
