Episodes 0221 - 0230

About:
For Raul Duran aka Iteration and Discord is not a hobby. It’s possible the process of making music is meditation. During the production most of the daily toil disappears and he is left with an open mind ready to receive the spark of creation. Attempting to forget everything about music and let the subconscious decide what direction to take. Sound and developing tone are very inspirational. 
 
The track featured is over 30 minutes of live parameter tweaking. The performance is an unforgiving manipulation of a recorded modular synthesizer. The recorded synth part is further processed in real-time with Ableton.

About:
Moxy Martinez, a self taught DJ & producer, has created, performed, produced, and contributed original music and DJ sets for a variety of  projects both nationally and internationally  since 2003. They have worked and collaborated with individual artists, art institutions, art galleries, dance studios, live music venues, and film projects throughout their career. Highlights of Moxy's career include DJing the Trans Musicales festival in France (2007), being hand selected by Tom Sachs for his show ‘Tom Sachs: Boombox Retrospective’ at the Contemporary, Austin providing a unique DJ mix which was played from inside his sculptures (2015), and contributing original music to Emmy nominated documentary Tiny Out Loud (2015).  In addition, Moxy has recently (2018- present) worked with the Columbus Museum of Art and The Wexner Center for the Arts providing live DJ sets, performing live synthesizer sets and mediating discussion forums with other artists. Most notably, in collaboration with The Wex and Counterfeit Madison,  Moxy produced the sold out show ‘Say A Little Prayer: An Aretha Franklin Celebration’ held at the Lincoln Theatre, February 2020. 


Moxy has also performed and released music as Osea Merdis since 2016. The Osea Merdis project is structured around ideas which are 100% created on analog synths (mainly Moog Mother 32 ecosystem). These ideas, paired with self captured field recordings, contort everyday life into a uniquely identifying audio personality. Moxy’s Osea Merdis project is very discerning, emotionally intentional, and based in the need to express the softer side of life even through struggles and sufferings.

About:
danielle_griselda is not a musician.
danielle_griselda is a black dot 
experimenting with light and sound
exploring the self-generative
through hardware electronics
for theatre and movie scoring
and simply for having some fun.

because being alive may mostly be a random fact,
intertwining unpredictable shapes could be another one
among all random possibilities worth trying to play.
venti ventuno: velleità virtuale embraces the idea
of setting boundaries within which things happen,
instead of choosing what is going to happen
precisely and when and how;

some said once that will is always negative
and what is causing this piece makes no exception,
there might be nothing left to do
but trying and going wrong anyway.

face this fleece virtually. it helps me sleep.

ABOUT THIS RECORDING:
Rebecca's latest mix is a live ambient/experimental performance recorded in one take in my studio. The sounds come from various software and hardware instruments and includes layers of original field recordings. Since recently completing a Circle of Live - In Bloom mentorship program with another Detroit-based artist, Erika, Rebecca composed this piece incorporating some of the approaches and techniques to live jamming that we considered. The piece is called “Edinburgh” and was inspired by a brief moment spent in a magical place.

About:

Sine Mountain, aka David Soto, is a world-building,  modular synth artist and head of the Colorado Modular Synth Society (CMSS).

David is a proud Chicano working in the ambient and experimental side of music. His music has been described as cinematic, patient, moving, and emotional. His intention is to tell short stories through his compositions. Fascinated by science, love, and the nature of birds, many of his albums focus on time, distance, and the struggle to stay alive.

The piece performed for Data Cult Studio was inspired by a short story his 7-year-old wrote about daydreaming. The music was recorded in one take with a modular synthesizer and a Cicada (Physical Synthesis).
