MNMT 363 : Iwamaki

For the 10th International Drone Day, we are very happy to share Transience's 50th contribution on Cashmere Radio. For this auspicious occassion we have invited Menou and Paul Josef to join host Lou Drago in the joy of droning. Lou begins the episode with a new work that takes elements of a recent work Still, and reimagines these components in a more narrative form to take listeners on a journey, Menou's hardware synth live set comes next, full of emotion and enthralling the listener before landing in a Japanese melodic ending. Paul Josef's serene modular synth live set closes the episode with gentle swelling harmonics that leave listeners with a warm embrace. 

This episode of Transience was live on 27 May, 2023

The sets have been uploaded individually, but in the order they were presented on the night. We highly recommend listening on headphones or good speakers from a horizontal-ish position.

Sundays are for... LVT

"This kind of abstract journey: with beats, without beats, different textures that envelop you, and atmospheres filled with colors. An intoxicating context. There's the freedom to break away from a progressive club structure, allowing the creation of a unique narrative that embraces multiple realities and subjective sensations. Welcome to a clear and sublime exemplification of the journeys I alluded to."

Gilles Wasserman (@gilleswasserman), a Brooklyn-based DJ, and producer, boasts over two decades of experience in the electronic music scene. He co-founded the music platform Delayed (@itsdelayed) and the newly minted record label Never Late (@never-late). He's been making music alongside his partner in crime, Irina Kotik, as Moon Patrol. He has released music on labels like On Board Music, Oslated, Huinali, Lost in Translation, A Friend in Need, Lossless, and Accents Records. With a monthly radio show, 'The Night Before,' on Radio D59B (@radiod59b), Gilles delves into the depths of electronic music, showcasing what's new in the 'left field' world.

Human Lessons #076 - Sciama

"Images of hope,
Locked up fear you share,
Love and desire,
All in your head somewhere.
And when horrors are received,
And I fall on my knees,
Everything is softened by the memories, the dreams."

So excited to welcome BLNDR to the series, a long-awaited delight after observing the French producer develop his magnetic and kaleidoscopic sound over the years. BLNDR's mix is glimmering and atmospheric, reflective of the patient and meticulous nature inhabiting his work as both BLNDR and his more-recent Traevor alias. Voiced in a heartfelt tone and assembled with a poet's touch, this set is a soft yet spry landing to an intense season, breathing a new air, fluttering to a new rhythm, earnest to the very end. I enjoyed this one immensely and I hope you will too. Thanks Tom!

Deep Breakfast 225 ~ Menou @ Mostra 2023

"This is a meditative journey.
Sit or lay comfortable, close your eyes and stop thinking. Let the music guide you through the infinite landscapes of your soul."

Born and raised between the fantastic mountain valleys of the Italian Dolomites and the industrial city of Ludwigshafen in Germany.
Spent most of his childhood playing in the woods. This past still connects him inseparably from nature and its forms of life.
He tries to convey this feeling of the infinite timelessness of the soul of nature with music in an understandable language.
Words can only approximate this.

His DJ sets are always driving, ritualistic.
Natural sounds and hypnotic melodies allow the listener to reach another state of consciousness.

This is how he describes his vision:
 “when time and space lose their meaning, when everyone is connected in unison to the music, united in one energy bubble, 
then the perfect state is reached. 
No thought separates us from the great unit. Only knowledge and joy move us to the beat“.

His productions are experimental, unorthodox. Since he is not a musician, he uses this "ignorance" and the freedom that results from it. 
Hypnotic rhythms and driving beats characterize his tracks, always filled with natural sounds.
The listener is transported in a space that seems to exist between the stars. Deep in his heart he believes in infinity and that time and space are only imaginations.
His goal is to express these inner feelings with music, so in 2021 he set out to develop his musical language.


“This journey will be endless, full of universes yet to be explored and they are all within us“.
