UY PODCAST #8

For the eigth edition of our podcast series, we are blessed to have an artist on board, who played a very important role in our process of growth at UY Studio. Especially in the old days, when we were working through the nights, listening to his beats gave us the energy to push through and make it work. Thank you Claudio <3
Claudio PRC is an Italian deep techno specialist who takes cues from avant-garde and ambient music as well as the abyssal echoes of early hypnotic acid and dub. Heʼs been active as a DJ and producer since 2006 and released his records mainly on Prologue Music, Semantica Records, and TGP, of which he is a co-founder. Since 2018 Claudio is a resident DJ in one of Pragueʼs most valued clubs, Ankali, where he curates the Volumi Dinamici night. In 2020 he founded 012, a new platform dedicated to art and sound research.

Jonas Munk is a Danish composer known for his atmospheric, ambient soundscapes, released under his real name, as well as the celebrated Manual project, which I've been following from the early 2000s via Make Mine Music, Darla, and Morr. Most of his solo works (and collaborations with Ulrich Schnauss) appear on his own Azure Vista Records, including the record I'm sharing today. And if that's not enough, you may [and should] recognise his other renowned project with Jason Kolb, known as Billow Observatory, which I've lauded on these pages for every single release. If you already know this fantastic artist, you can learn more about his process in this interview, which I published in 2019: In the studio with Jonas Munk. His latest release, titled Mirror Phase, is the final record in the trilogy of minimal ambient albums composed using guitar loops and lush synth pads. My favourite piece on the album is the title track, which is why I'm happy to premiere it for you today. This is the longest piece, approaching 18 minutes, and it's a slow-burn evolution of warm frequencies that oscillate at different phases, creating that beating of constantly shifting patterns, which finally develop into a blissful sonic space. Suddenly, all of the eighteen minutes pass, and I feel like I should experience the journey all over. Everything is perfectly out of focus, creating a brand-new perspective on repeat rotations. These are the stunning "sonic structures that gradually evolve, like cloud formations in the sky..." Fans of delicate and introspective moments from the likes of William Basinski, Christopher Willits, and Stars of the Lid will find themselves in a familiar environment with plenty of texture to get lost in and then discover themselves again.

lateeyes - clinging onto a distorted memory

Immersive collaborative album of Atmøsphäre and Dionisaf, steeped in cold textures, shadowy resonance, and layers of abrasive noise, conjures a bleak sonic tundra — where icy drones, distorted textures, and shadowy pulses stretch across vast, unforgiving landscapes.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Tom Lievens (Atmøsphäre) and Dionis Afonichev (Dionisaf)

Campfire Stories 13 (Halls of Trees) by Silent Wanderer (@northernshore)

~ About The Story ~

Winter in the forest… the days are getting shorter and darker and roaming thru the woods on a freezing cold winter day makes you wish for a crackling fire. Being out in the wild, especially in darker times sharpens also your senses. You register every cracking of twigs which echoes from one ancient tree to another. Bare trees seem like creatures from another age…Solitude in such a wild, haunting but at the same time enchanting environment lets you search for each and every light in the dark. Your campfire illuminates the gloomy forest and dancing shadows of the flames are casted on the surrounding trunk of the trees. Above the star-bright night and sounds echoing in infinity…Snow, wind, fire and mother nature…the gathering of elements inside the great Halls of Trees!

I'm Flying

Campfire Stories 100 (Through Friedrichshain) by @Chryslsm

~ About The Story ~

I sit by a dancing choir,
of flames that burn in towers.
there are cabins and woodlands,
and pastel and faded flowers.

there is a strange maniac,
that sits on a bucket by the trees.
he sings songs between puffs of smokes,
about horror stories, fates and dreams.

I listen to the chilling crackle,
that lights my eyes in mini-fires.
and hum to the beat of the ukulele,
on the grass path with tracks of tires.

whistle of the ancient winds,
that tell stories of bears and poisonous pears.
the campfire singes down; cool and crisp,
and the maniac disappears.
