Welcome to the 21st chapter of the monthly Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics. This months Live Set is created by the Dutch group MATJAMI. Read there description how they created this very meditive music combined with electronic sampling. Enjoy.


“MATJAMI = Traditional bronze-beats meet soundscapes and loops, carefully placed in silence”.

Bio

MATJAMI: Acoustic-electronic soundscapes, deep ethnic beats, slow trance, empty space: meditation by listening, moving and playing.  

Use good speakers or headphones to enjoy the rich, deep sounds and binaural recordings.

We three at MATJAMI (Marcel Bode, Tjalling de Leeuw, Mike de Leeuw) develop our sounds and grooves as we interact live, using our bronze, wooden and stringed instruments, (Balinese gamelan & gongs, singing bowls, big Tibetan horns, Chinese Guxing & Gongs, Javanese kendang drums, timpani, beer bottles, PVC-pipe didgeridoo) with Native electronics, samples and live loops. The quality and the texture of our sounds are at least as important as the composition. 
All you hear here was recorded live, with only some simple stereo and eq mixing afterwards.

We enjoy tremendously collaborating with inspiring audio-artists also on SoundCloud: VictorYibril, Miraela, Diederik Idenburg, Fintan O'Brien, Icheon, Yasyntha and Phlip Smith (G.A.), combining their very different music styles, voices, field recordings and soundscapes with our soundscapes and ethnic beats… Melodies of the Heart connect around the World (Soul Fury)
 
One of our tracks has now been selected for the audio tour at the Groningen Museum for its modern art selection, and we may shortly be performing live next to a famous Dutch Philharmonic Orchestra… 
We hope to launch two limited CD’s/Vinyl in the second half of 2016
