Remember Chinese Whispers, Stille Post or Rikkinäinen Puhelin? That children’s game, known all over the world, that illustrates the difficulties of transmitting information, but which also reveals the creativity of discontinuous conversation? It feels like the Patterns of Perception and @awalkingcontradiction collectives have been in such a conversation for the past years across a multitude of label nights, private hangouts, and shared festival experiences.

Based in Basel, Switzerland but unhinged from national contexts, A Walking Contradiction is a label for music and research. Curated by @varuna4053, @lemont-eana and Dead Electronic Space Limited (@ltd_dead), the collective share a penchant for beats - broken and straight - yet can't help but churn out music for the quiet hours. A deeply reflective group, you’ll find snippets of their conversations on social, political, economic, and environmental issues hidden in sounds or in plain sight on the sleeves of their records.

Compiled entirely from new and unreleased material, their Patterns of Perception 102 is but the latest product of interlocutions and whispers between Basel, Berlin, Helsinki and the world in general, paying tribute to the significance of community where the legitimacy of commons is increasingly impugned. 
Levitating within a field of sophisticated textures and percussion, this set burns slowly, but with a luminescent intensity. Angular experimental ambience builds into winding, complex rhythms. Inspired minds elevate delicate melancholia into a true sense of hope.

Today I am delighted to welcome Ibukun Sunday to Deep Mind Music, with a celestial mix made up 100% of his own productions💫 

Ibukun is a violinist and experimental ambient musician, whose productions have a subtlety and emotional depth that has struck me since the first time I came across them. You’ll likely have heard me play some of Ibukun’s music in my ambient sets, and I am really excited to share this beautiful journey with you all 🧡

From the beginning of Ibukun’s mix, we are dissolved in a daydream, drifting in a blanket of cloud. Warm chords breeze across us as we sink deeper, gently morphing into flurries of sound. As the mix unfurls, a delicate interplay of harmonies and field recordings drop us into half remembered memories. Washes of sound interspersed with snippets of reality come in and out of our awareness, as we’re carried upwards to an emotional peak. 

At the halfway point, we dissipate into a state of meditative peace, afloat on a bed of gentle drones. As the mix concludes, plucky acoustics glitch into sparse electronics and glistening tones, the edges of reality flickering into new dimensions around us as we awaken 🍃✨

Deep Breakfast 243 ~ Oisatsana

"Paused and luminous melodies. From the terrace, I see the winter sun gliding low, making the sea water shimmer. The scent of foam reminds me that summer is still a few months away. I don't want to rush; the downtempo sets the pace, and I like that."

Patric Kimman dives into the deeper side of ambient and experimental music in his monthly radio show on South London’s Balamii radio station (@balamii), under his alias Paduan (@padduan). He is also one of the organisers behind the Into the Universes audiovisual event series that focuses on ambient music and moving visual art in Amsterdam. This mix went a bit more into downtempo territory than his normal sonic excursions on Balamii.

Sundays are for… Sarah Wreath

this warm sunday morning brings us a rather special offering, a hybrid set supplied by berlin based producer, and dj - sarah wreath who stretched her ambient muscles at fellow delayed favorite kato de vidts’ ambient tide series. here is what she had to say about the set:

this recording captures my hybrid performance at ambient tide in brussels—an event meticulously crafted by kato de vidts to deliver a profound journey of deep listening within an immersive environment.

centered around the chao gong as the primary instrument, the performance featured layered organic soundscapes enhanced by effects processing. this resulted in a hybrid set comprising compositions ranging from ambient to experimental, incorporating elements of icaros and ritual hymns.

the fundamental tone of the chao gong, 110 hertz, known as the fundamental pitch of om chanting, has been shown to aid in emotional processing and relaxation, exerting a profound effect on the right hemisphere of the brain. this hemisphere is recognized as the locus of artistic expression, spirituality, emotion, imaginative thinking, and breakthrough innovation.

E.M.C. atmospheres - Nocturnal Phase

Embracing uncertainty, we learn to live in the grey zones. Accepting change, we learn to live with discomfort. The only way out is through, or so they say.

For this episode of t r a n s i e n c e we have invited Moons co-founder, musician and sound designer, Baron to create a sonic journey to take you elsewhere for an extended moment. From deep bassy rumblings, to giggles and groans, through darker frequencies to patient piano chords, Baron's sonic offering is rich with imagery and affect. Moody, evocative and at moments intense, rest assured Baron lands us gently at the end with some sweet, reassuring whispers. Released on a Capricorn full moon in July, this episode offers ample opportunity to dive deep into ones emotional landscape the music supporting introspection and a letting go of all which no longer serves us.

Baron has the following to say about the mix: "This sonic narrative came together inspired by an idea of expressing an intimate, unspeakable and ever felt melancholy about my own identities in an inspiring and empowering way.

Embracing this theme and its inherent mysterious energy. Feeding it with curiosity, humour, raw aesthetics and humanity making it an abstract friend of the things that cannot be expressed and that one cannot explain themselves. A moment in time resonating with life as it is, as wonderful as unsettling.

This mix is dedicated to my dearest grandmother, Marie-Paule, one of the most inspiring and beautiful woman I have had the chance to have in my life."

We recommend a horizontal position and some decent headphones or speakers, dive in, and see where this offering takes you
