1.00.1

Since his Beat Diary debut (a 12xLP box set comprising 365 beats recorded daily over the course of a year), Julian Sartorius has immersed himself in unique and ambitious projects - trekking the path not travelled to arrive at rhythmic life forms through found objects and prepared instruments. Equally as mighty are his two other escapades, the most recent being Locked Grooves - 112 beats cut as endless loops on vinyl spanning 56 dense 1.8 second compositions per side. Preceding that is his auditory hike into the mountains (Hidden Tracks: Basel - Genève), wading through and playing the landscapes around him like a lithophone.

While Julian’s previous releases focus on innovative and conceptual approaches to realizing an album, his new venture on Marionette (titled Mux) is a culmination of all his efforts thus far to mimic a synthesizer and drum machine. This seemingly impossible feat challenges Julian to experiment and develop a musical language that bridges the gap between organic timbres and electronic music. When listening to Mux, one might simply forget that the seemingly electronic sounds are only constructed organically via hand movements. The common thread in all his works thus far is that the drums are treated as resonant bodies - free to flow and form rhythm and harmony in spacetime.

This is Julian’s second outing for the label, the first being (the long out of print) Sulla Pelle with Valentina Magaletti in 2019. Other collaborations include prolific artists such as Matthew Herbert, Sylvie Courvoisier, Gyda Valtysdottir, Dimlite, Shahzad Ismaily and Dan Carey (Speedy Wunderground).

Julian Sartorius - Mux (Preview)

I FINALLY got my "digital" copy of Tony Oxley's seminal record "February Papers" to play today. I got it on some blog years ago. I still have my vinyl copy but little access to my turntable. This is one of the best recordings of free improvisation ever released. Here's the track "Brushes" just to prove a point. For solo percussion and electronics, 1977. Essential listening.

Imagine yourself standing on the shore, the gentle breeze caressing your face as you gaze out at the expansive ocean stretching endlessly before you...The rhythmic crashing of the waves resonates with the cosmic rhythms, creating a harmonious symphony of nature...As you immerse yourself in this moment, you begin to feel the thinning of the doors of perception, signaling the start of a transformative journey, where the gate to transcendence beckons you—the Gate to the Waves Temples...

This sacred structure houses ancient wisdom, its depths holding the key to unlocking the divine mysteries of the universe....Its architecture undulates, mirroring the ebb and flow of life itself...Symbolism and ethereal fog...Mysticism and wonder...Depending on one's individual perception of reality, it becomes a canvas for countless allegories, a reflection of the profound and enigmatic nature of existence...

Among these allegories are the Islands of Radiant Awakening...Emerging from the depths of the collective unconscious, these mystical realms shimmer with creative energy and transformative power...They transcend the boundaries of physicality, existing as ethereal sandscapes that invite exploration...Stepping foot on these islands is an invitation to transcend the limitations of human perception, to dissolve the veils that separate the spiritual and material realms...

WAVE TEMPLES - AMATEUR EXOTIC'S ISLANDS OF THE RADIANT AWAKENED

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/wave-temples

Florida-based musician @wavetemples steps up to deliver the 376th edition of the IA MIX Series, interweaving a far-extending mix spanning experimental sounds, piqued for sun-bleached climates, abstract meditation and pensive relaxation.

The mix, dubbed 'Jungle Escape XXX' is a mind-game governed by the track list, featuring Not Not Fun Records cohorts X.Y.R., Voyage Futur and Andra Ljos, as well as unreleased tracks from a brand new label project.

Having recently released 'Panama Shift' LP, plus a new 7-inch on Possible Motive, Wave Temples continues to explore oceanic anthropology, folklore, and the mythos surrounding seafaring cultures and long-lost civilizations. Past entries to their discography are synced to sleep cycles, collections of live sets, and clusters of vignettes laced with field recordings and home synth experiments.

In our wide-ranging interview, we present a glimpse beneath the surface of the project. Wave Temples' sonic aesthetic is woven together with a DIY attitude forged from years in Florida's underground scenes, philosophical influences, and a lifelong fascination with music and art that ranges from Delta Blues to punk, noise, and Marcel Duchamp. They also touch on how each release resonates from specific periods in their life, the collaborative nature of 'Panama Shift', and preparations for an upcoming Florida tour.

Further into the jungle, the submissive touch of the deepest thicket. Of beachside oracles and openers to the path of penetrating rituals of night...

Moist treasure...Exotic dream...

Close your eyes for a second and you might find yourself on a windswept plane, deserted beach, or in a tranquil forest...
