Minimal Ambient & Drone

Cloaked in his immutable den, sonic dweller Marius Georgescu evokes haunting soundscapes that trigger distorted colours of thought.

Often described as "kind of Enigmatic", in a shocking coincidence, recent rumor has it that he is the unwanted son of Michael Cretu (aka Enigma).

Beneath a horizon that is forever out of reach, Marius unveils uncharted sonic territories through his Youtube channel that keeps growing out of proportion.

LIO Press mix #18 ~ by Marius Georgescu · 'Drifting off the Vapour'

Following its release in the winter of 2018, "Landmarks", a collaboration between veteran ambient artists Celer and Forest Management, initially drew quiet accolades and a steadfast listenership that has since swelled to unimagined proportions (~20 Mil. streams), resonating with listeners perhaps now more than ever and cementing its status as an experimental classic. 

Inspired by Paul Theroux's novel "The Mosquito Coast" and Peter Weir's 1986 film adaptation of that book, "Landmarks" sets out 14 tracks in a "stunning hour of music" (The Quietus) that creates a "general sense of foreboding, critique of romantic retreat into individualism and colonialism" (A Closer Listen). The album is now offered on vinyl for the first time (originally out on cassette tape), newly remastered by Stephan Mathieu to enhance the depth and richness of this oneiric soundscape.

Both Americans, Celer (Will Long) resides in Tokyo, Japan and Forest Management (John Daniel) in Chicago, USA. "Landmarks" was born of their months-long collaboration, trading music back and forth and reshaping each other's work using a series of patches, tape looping, and electronic manipulation. As a throughline in each piece we hear their distinct voices and cultural contexts blend to unique, often otherworldly effect, conjuring a dreamlike tension that refuses easy resolution. We are hooked by a mood that captured listeners back in 2018 and continues to hold us today in the context of current events, related disquietudes, and a nostalgic longing for solutions that may be more imaginary than real.

ZEPTER 35 - Snakedance - 23/11/2024

💥Recorded live at Bounce House on 10/18/24 between 12-1am💥

On opening resident duties is none other than bounce boss Furtive, a genre-agnostic sonic shock-trooper with a unique touch for re-writing the rhythm of the rave by subtly weaving in surprising whiplash moments of the psychedelic and sentimental. You'll never quite know what you'll get, but tuned to the room and the night's lineup, it's sure to take you places.

"If there is one event that I have had the fortune of playing that feels like it seeps and oozes with the same spirit that motivates the wonderful mix series Beyond/Below, it is the annual ambient gathering, Chillits, held in Northern California each year. For that reason, I am honored to have a live recording of my set, recorded on site at the gathering in September 2024, welcomed here alongside so many brilliant ambient mixes. Grounded in a memory of traveling to Avebury with my father, this offering is dedicated to my brother, all of the hard-working free-spirits that tirelessly organize radical musical gatherings across the US and around the world, and to the recently departed Max Carpenter.

As expected for an event like this, the playlist is an approximation and likely has many gaps and unexpected additions. Mastering by the one with the metal plate, Jonathan James Carr."

I am so excited to share the latest, and most unique, Deep Mind Music entry. This mix, by my good friend Tahl, has been in the works for a long time. A mixtape of 100% saxophonic versions & originals which is the first manifestation of Tahl’s new alias for saxophonic exploration - loket.

A member of Berlin's Power Play collective, Tahl debuted the combination of live saxophone played over ambient music at the intimate confines of Power Play’s foggy chill out room. Tahl first proposed the idea of this mix to me back in April, and throughout lockdown he has been chipping away at it, keeping me updated as it has slowly evolved from a loose initial concept into a fully formed immersive journey. 

Taking the listener through flurries of arpeggios, introspective poetry, delicate piano, vulnerable vocals, and lush, sunlit pads, the mix resonates on a tender, personal level. A story told through prescient programming between tracks and sonic palettes, it subtly ebbs and flows between different emotional states. Throughout the mix the free flowing saxophone jams flitting between the tracks take you far, far away, adding a soft trippy fluidity to the edges of the soundscape. By the end of the mix you are totally submerged in effervescent mind-melting deepness.

I’m so grateful to loket for putting together this truly special entry, and I hope you enjoy listening to it, and find as much solace, peace and catharsis in it as I have.

Some words from loket about the mix: 

This project started in many ways in a dank room in what is now a demolished squat in Lichtenberg Berlin at a Power Play Rave in the middle of 2019. Empowered by an unreasonable Funktion One Soundsystem flush inside of our chill out room, I experimented with playing live modulated saxophone for the first time. 

I was shaking so intensely I could barely blow air through the horn. But when what I played was channeled through my computer and out into the audience, the power of the sound, and of the moment, was sickening. Since then I’ve spent many hours honing and sculpting and experimenting to try and bring that feeling “to tape”.

I can’t stress enough how much of this project has been an exercise in moving forward slowly while having mostly no idea what I’m doing. I’m sure i broke every “rule” imaginable in recording and processing the saxophone on this mix. Maybe that is somewhat reassuring to those of you who also feel burdened by the glossy perfection and successes seemingly surrounding us at all times.

It’s also an exercise in reconnection. In patience. I stopped playing saxophone entirely in 2010 because I felt inadequate in my jazz skill. I haven’t practiced “a lick” in 10 years. I barely remember basic scales. But by revisiting the saxophone many years later through a more imaginative and electronic production lens, I’ve been able to move closer to creating the voice I always wanted to make.
