My Ambient dj set from the very special Springkell minifestival event. In search of balance between light and darkness, without putting too much emphasis on darkness.

Bulldozers from the n s y d e ACIDO Records Label Portrait w / Set by DJ Dynamo Dreesen [11.08.2023]

FH HF w. Anasisana. Anas Aissaoui is mainly known by the moniker Anasisana. His debut EP was released via Holy Geometry in 2018. Afterwards, he subsequently released his first ambient album on the German label Vaagner. Anasisana's physical releases are accompanied by labels such as Casement Exchange, Perfect Aesthetics, Trust Collective. Adapted from a score his works are known more than an electronical and deeply saturated by susceptibility and plainness.

Shared Dialogue - FH HF w. Anasisana [04.09.2023]

For this episode of The Ritual Must be Kept Alive, I invited Villa Lontana Records, an experimental and independent record label based in Rome, run by Vittoria Bonifati and Michele Ferrari, which focuses on the production of new sounds, from electroacoustic to sonorous poetry and from electromagnetism to field-recordings. Publishing both archival and unreleased material of the electronic avant-garde and contemporary sound-art scene, the label dedicates special attention to those artists who, although recognised as pioneers, drift in between realms. 

A Cosmic transmission journey set in four non-circumscribed sound spaces in which environmental recordings are mixed with electronic and acoustic pieces. 
Including multiple sound languages and dystopian, experimental musical evolutions generated through the use of the voice, flutes, percussions, synthesisers and computers.

A love letter to the BWCA, deployed at Omega Lake, a mix for the quietest rave. An incredible autumnal trip that saw the aurora borealis make an appearance for three nights in a row. Music for listening during the quiet hours...

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...

blurer is a peripheral study exploring ways to perceive our surroundings beyond any focal point. The poetic text where the winds are coming from, invites contributing artists and musicians to collectively explore a world that has become unfamiliar yet again. Inspired by the moment Alice tumbles into Wonderland, it asks what it means to unlearn, relearn, and navigate within a world anew. Like Alice, this conceptual mixtape delves into places, things, and feelings that have been overlooked, ignored or seen as a backdrop. The text, tracks, and sounds of this compilation take us on an explorative journey—not to arrive somewhere, but to sense that what lies within the blur has always already been in the here:now.
(Lisa Walder, 2025)

Most music is used as a form of abstract translation. To unblur the personal, we abstract it and transform and transport it through familiar sounds. Through abstraction, the motives are essentialized to their core. In this, minimalism becomes a prioritisation. A blur can be more flexible. The reduction of elements could be optimistic or protective.
What this release does is observe the peripheral, to look for emotionality or personality within it, but also to create atmospheres that appear peripheral, yet are again included in the general blur.
When hearing the sounds of blurer, the focus of the compositions fluctuates and directs the listener’s perception to certain points within, not only to hear what seems essential but also to draw closer attention to the peripheral. Throughout the whole release, the procedures are very different. Some moments are vivid, almost narrative. There are deconstructed references to find, in both energetic and quiet forms. Occasionally, we pass by rearing, foggy drone walls or prancing, twirling, or scurrying melodies carried around, on synths or guitar strings. Blurer seems to harbor atmospheres of comfort in the cold, loops of spiraling memories or expressions of disorientation, that scamper around on the acoustic foundation created by the 19 artists.
