Citrus 099 on FBi Radio : Steve Duncan

"I wanted to reflect how my state of mind was after coming back home from a significant trip earlier this year. This mix is dark, trippy with an optimistic twist, conveying my shift between moods and emotions the past months."

Outsiders: Patterns Of Perception w/ Steve Duncan @ Kiosk Radio 25.09.2023

In the hollow womb of the Void, where gods are torn apart and screams are older than stars, a hatred was carved into reality — and named XAL’THEROTH.

He is the rot in celestial flesh. The unspoken scream at the heart of silence. Born not of blood, but of blasphemy.

His voice is decay. His breath is ash. His arrival is not witnessed

A ritual to awaken the chained horror beneath existence.

XAL’THEROTH does not listen… he consumes.

For our first tape, the Icon of Sin presents to you 8 post-industrial society techno-electro tracks perfect for the Neo-Feudalist workhouse!

Undoubtably our bleakest release yet, they’ll really get you going (to work past a reasonable retirement age) in their grim and grey grooves, baby!

Futuristic and technologically led past the point of return, drowning in a muddy ancient river; the album conjures a world of firing pistons, frightened people and automated production lines.
The downtempo doomsday soundscapes are at once Detroit Electro, London Hardcore, Norwegian Black Metal and (dare I say it) Berlin Techno.

Here's a blurb from the icon himself:

“I wrote this album over a short period of time (about one week) in 2021. At the time I was living in Hackney central, in a relatively small and cold flat next to the loud Mare Street. I was going through a particularly dark and hopeless period of time due to isolation and post lockdown depression.
The windows of the flat were paper thin, vibrating loudly, too often. I had a lots of sleepless nights, which resulted in this record. I worked in a bottling line at the time, the industrial and repetitive, almost dehumanising environment definitely influenced this album.

The music was written fully on my Octatrack (apart for the track “Benders” which was performed with my modular rack). Everything has been recorded in one take as it comes out from the machine, with minimal mixing and mastering and no post production.
The sonic palette features a couple eurorack modules, sampling from Italian television and whatnot; but most importantly a lot of field recording of machineries I found in the factory I was working at, as well as random captures of environments around me - including Hackney’s busy streets - all mangled and arranged in the Octatrack.

Enjoy!” - Matteo, 2024

Welcome to the 177th chapter of the Deep Electronics Podcast. A weekly released podcast that brings you a diversity of deep related music. This weeks set is mixed by Hysteria & Steve Duncan from Patterns of Perception.


About Patterns of Perception:

Patterns of Perception embodies experimental textures and deep atmospheric sounds, inspired by the dissonance between the natural and the industrial.

Bio:

Hysteria and Steve Duncan are members of Patterns of Perception - a Berlin-based collective that explore the hypnotic depths of techno & electronica. Through regular club nights and a podcast series, they provide a platform for artists to share their unique vision.

This contribution to the Deep Electronics podcast draws inspiration from a storm the Australian duo encountered whilst travelling through the Austrian alps some months ago.

Experiencing moments of meteorological beauty, calm, energy and bleakness amidst the rain and snow, the pair felt compelled to record their visions and emotions, resulting in this mix which was pieced together in months that followed.

Ariel Kalma's words:
"I live near a forest in Australia. Birds are important to me and I tune my music to compose some of my pieces. It is vital to preserve nature! Here is my contribution to Echo of Species".
_ _ _

To know more about Ariel Kalma:
Ariel Kalma is inspired by rhythms, melodies and grooves from various cultures, ambient atmospheres, modal music, native instruments and nature. Ariel likes to experiment with music: mix traditional sounds with modern arrangements, use electronica and special effects, play circular breathing on winds and didgeridoo, create original sounds from synthesizers. Ariel blends styles of music to produce original compositions with flavours of his own. His songs touch deep feelings of the search for simple truth in a metaphorical poetry.

During his study of Electronics, Computer Science, Music and Art at Paris University, Ariel Kalma was also performing with several bands and touring the world, visiting Asia, Africa, Japan, Canada and Europe, always listening to, sometimes playing with, the music and the people: different scales, colours of sound, timing and rhythms.

Formed in Berlin in 2016 by six friends, Patterns of Perception is dedicated to cultivating compelling, visionary electronic music through their residencies at OHM Berlin and ://about.blank, in parallel with their long-running and influential mix series and zine.

This mix is a collaborative effort, with track selections from all six members of the crew: Kim Bergstrand, Bianca Shu, Steve Duncan, Zilke Grogan, Ray Pham, and Andreas Maan. Among the wide variety of artists represented, a couple of friends and collaborators can be heard: Aleksi Perälä and natural/electronic.system, however the majority of the music is drawn from other times and places. In putting the jigsaw puzzle together as a mix, Andreas Maan tried to allow the selections themselves to guide the way, and the result is a meandering journey: a subtle, glimmering collage punctuated by rising and then dissipating tensional layers.
