Patricia Wolf is an artist based in Portland, Oregon, who describes herself as a musician / sound designer / field recordist / DJ. It’s in the latter capacity that she features here, having put together the first Bandcloud Guest Mix of 2022. We’ve been in conversation a lot over the past year and a half or so, all basically stemming from my playing her track ‘Sauvie Island Wilderness Area’ from the Room40 compilation Particle Count on my radio show. Ducks aplenty.

This mix is a wonderful selection of ~ambient~ pieces from the recent past, ranging from Fennesz and Olivia Block to KMRU and Hiro Kone, Astrid Sonne and Penelope Trappes to William Basinski. It ranges from raucous and overpowering to subtly gentle, with melancholic piano leading into a whirlwind of samples as the mix reaches its conclusion.

Patricia’s got an album called I'll Look For You In Others coming out on Past Inside The Present soon – you can already preorder on Juno but Bandcamp links will be up shortly. I think tomorrow actually.

ZZZPH011 - A Side

Joseph Valentino is a visual artist and musician living in the desert outside Tucson, Arizona. He has been active in electronic music from the time he started DJing at house parties and raves in 1994 and then producing his own music under the moniker of Neglect in 2005. Most of his sonic output is released on his own Bandcamp page Neglectsound but he had tracks on labels such as Boomarm Nation, Shimmering Moods, Adventurous Music, and Harmonic Ooze. 

"I had been thinking about a mix for several months but just couldn't get around to it. It's much easier to put it all together with a set of turntables, a mixer, and a CD deck but over the past few years, I have grown to prefer using Logic Pro to create mixes that don't require beat matching. It gives me the flexibility to add unreleased tracks of my own or make edits to songs or take things out at the last minute without having to re-record the whole session. I tend to get too tied up with working on my own music to refocus my attention on creating mixes so I tend to keep notes with a pad and pencil to get the ideas rolling. This one had some key tracks that I considered to set the tone for the story I wanted to create, it was just a matter of some sewing and patching to get the flow right. Thanks for listening and please use headphones".

GUESTS 102 – menzurrr

I sat down
To overlook a lake.

I locked away a memory of You
And threw the key.

In the lake
I could see a ripple.

I reach for the ripple
And see my reflection.

The reflection is clear.
I'll be okay soon.
