Recorded live on the HMAS Vampire, Sydney Harbour ⚓️🎶🌊

In 1964, my dad’s eldest brother, Franklin Morgan, was a 20 y/o sailor working aboard the HMAS Voyager & by all accounts a lovely young man. Frank was one of 82 officers & sailors who tragically died when the HMAS Melbourne collided with the HMAS Voyager during a nighttime training exercise. It was the worst peacetime disaster in the RAN’s history & devastating for dad’s family. 

57 years later, Frank’s niece (me) was invited to play an ambient set on board the Voyager’s identical sister ship, the HMAS Vampire. Bit of a full circle moment. 

NB: Although both the HMAS Voyager and Vampire were ‘Daring Class Destroyers’ ie. gun ships, neither ship ever fired at an enemy.

Preparing for this gig was at times very sad, and being physically on the ship felt heavy. This history influenced some music choices & the narrative that I built. You will also hear a ceremonial Yolgnu song to release the spirits of the deceased ❤️🖤 You will hear women’s voices singing in various languages, because brave women in Australia are now raising their voices & being heard 👊 Almost half the music is composed and/or sung by women. And underpinning all of this is one of the most powerful and beautiful forces in our world - the ocean 🌊 

I toyed around with some subtle 8D-inspired mixing at a few points, let me know if you hear it & like it. Enjoy X

Nils Frahm - Says

We probably don't need to tell you who Deadbeat is. (He even did a previous RA Podcast for us, all the way back in 2007.) But if you need a refresher, he's one of the most important and revered artists in dub techno. The Canadian artist came up in the Montreal scene alongside other trailblazers like Akufen and other Canadians (think Cobblestone Jazz, Mathew Jonson, Wagon Repair, etc). His early records for ~scape are some of the most classic and influential minimal there ever was, but dub is always at the heart of his work, and runs in the veins of BLKRTZ, the prolific label he runs himself.

Sa Pa, on the other hand, sits somewhere in the ambient zone. Originally from Adelaide, he's found a powerful creative sparring partner in Deadbeat. The two released their first album together, The Mountain, earlier this year. It's the 50th release on BLKRTZ and maybe one of the most monumental records in either artist's catalogue, a triple-LP that harks back to the hypnotic, plink-plonk days of yore with the strong cross-genre underpinning that marks Deadbeat's work these days, and plenty of lovely atmospheric wiggles.

The duo's lengthy RA Podcast, taken from two different recordings at their Absurd Dub Lustre party in Berlin, mirrors the LP's sound, weaving through tracks new and old. It's full of warm, dubby vibrations and smooth transitions.

INFO & TRACKLIST : 

It has been a crazy inspiring year and I was lucky to get the opportunity to express that in such a beautiful way. 

Here is a selection of pivotal ambient tracks, a glimpse into French impressionism and synesthesia, contemporary classical, film scores and sound collages from some of my adventures around the world chasing this music dream. 

This was a completely new experience for me, I've never played an ambient set before and never attempted to record music in a Gothic cathedral before. What you're hearing is a mix of line-out and microphone recordings from around the pulpit. 

Of course, with any experiment, the first time is a steep learning curve. Luckily I was invited back to this magnificent place in March 2015 and can't wait to go deeper into this process.

Thanks to Palma and Christian for the unforgettable experience.

Helios - Halving The Compass (Rhian Sheehan Remix)

INFO & TRACKLIST

Last month I was in Copenhagen playing at Strom Festival & caught Surgeon playing a live modular set at God Goes Deep. He totally hypnotised the church with these droney, minimal, ice-cold tones, I fell asleep leaning against the wall and was roused by spooky dialogue some time later. The sense of space and timing was really powerful and i had that in mind when choosing music for this set.

Again, this is a mix of line out and microphone recordings, so you can get a feel for this amazing space. 

Hope you enjoy <3 Claire

Sven Weisemann has always been an artist's artist. His mixes and productions stand aside many of the timeless "secret tips" you may have heard about. They are defined by the culture surrounding them, while simultaneously defining that same culture. Never hesitant to drift into fascinating new unexplored territories, he has managed to finesse his way into the global spotlight with records on imprints such as Delsin, Echochord, and Mojuba. His familiarity and expertise in the realm of ambient and modern classical have made him a ripe pick for the heart of our summer mix series. Enjoy alone or with friends, but always in the sun.

Thanks a lot https://soundcloud.com/svenweisemann

Last summer, on this wonderful sunny day in august, i had invited one of my favorite DJs and friend, @lux-io, to play some records with me at the Paloma summer camp in the beautiful garden of Festsaal Kreuzberg. A bunch of friends came over to enjoy some cold drinks in the sun, have a chat and listen to our music. The relaxed and easygoing atmosphere had a direct impact on our track selection and resulted in a very nice 5,5 hours b2b session full of deep. Luckily, i recorded the whole thing.
I hope you enjoy!

INFO & TRACKLIST:

My third & final ambient mix from God Goes Deep at the Vor Frue Kirke in Copenhagen, recorded in April 2018 💒 You are hearing a 6-channel mixdown (stereo line out + stereo microphones under the dome + stereo microphones suspended above the pews). I aimed to recreate the immersive atmosphere of God Goes Deep which was like entering a parallel universe. The sense of calm created by music, surroundings & acoustics was corporeal & completely cathartic. Basically the greatest sound bath you can imagine 🛀🎶
