In her mysterious compositions, Vienna-based sound artist https://soundcloud.com/isabellaforciniti explores the Buchla modular synthesizer, moving in the field of tension between sound analysis and improvised music. Forciniti wants to explore the different states of sounds and their effect on our environment – and in doing so open up unknown territory.

This contribution was first aired on Thursday, March 4th through Austrian national radio station Ö1 in the program series for new and experimental music "Zeit-Ton".

Sedatives

Это звуковой пейзаж, который трансформирует весенний вечер в мистическое событие. 
С каждой нотой и каждым битом нового Окнокаста вы будете погружаться в гипнотическую симфонию звуков, которая взаимодействует с окружающим пространством. Эта музыка проникает в ваше сознание, расширяет границы восприятия и приглашает вас на танцевальную дорожку, где время останавливается и пространство раскрывается в новых измерениях.
Вы становитесь свидетелем невероятного зрелища, где луна и ее таинственное сияние становятся источником вдохновения и волшебства.

mono no aware (もののあわれ) is the first compilation to be released on PAN, collating unreleased ambient tracks from both new and existing PAN artists.

Featuring Jeff Witscher, Helm, TCF, Yves Tumor, M.E.S.H., Pan Daijing, HVAD, Kareem Lotfy, ADR, Mya Gomez, Sky H1, James K, Oli XL, Bill Kouligas, Flora Yin-Wong, Malibu, and AYYA, the compilation moves through more traditional notions of what is called ’ambient’, to incorporating wider variations that fall under the term.

“Mono no aware”, ‘the pathos of things’, also translates as “an empathy toward things", or "a sensitivity to ephemera”. A term for the awareness of impermanence, or the transience of things. A meditation on mortality and life's transience, ephemerality heightens the appreciation of beauty and sensitivity to their passing. In investigating the passing of time, the boundaries between memory and hallucination become blurred; between fiction and reality. The movement of time transforms into an eternal present.

The album is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, featuring photography by Molly Matalon and design by Bill Kouligas. A limited version of 100 copies will be released as a special art edition in collaboration with Mount Analog for the LA Art Book Fair 2017, before going on general release.

Aquarian - The Snake That Eats Itself

Canadian born, Berlin based producer @Aquarian makes his full length album debut The Snake That Eats Itself on Bedouin Records. This record follows his collaborative EPs with Deapmash as 'AQXDM" and is his first solo release since his 2016 experimental mixtape for Quiet Time.

Nearly five years in the making,The Snake That Eats Itself is Aquarian's most complex, diverse and emotive work to date, plunging his trademark UK sound-system / techno hybrids into a self-contained, cinematic universe streaked with heavy influences from industrial, IDM, drone and dark pop music. Written in Brooklyn, New York, in a deeply transitional, yet seemingly endless period preceding his relocation to Berlin,the title of the album refers to the Ouroboros, a mythological serpent symbolizing the cycle of birth and death and infinity itself.

The Snake That Eats Itself pits Aquarian's most abrasive and brutal moments next to his most wistful and introspective. Viscerally thick layers of tape saturation envelop the album as sludgy synths ooze against brittle atmospheres; breakbeats fragment, explode and disintegrate into swarms of delay and noise; scorched, metallic percussion - sampled from a year-long demolition and construction project next to his apartment - forge the rhythmic backbone of the album. These elements, however, seamlessly make way to startlingly crystalline and shimmering ambient passages, offering a sense of reprieve and balance.

Tracklist:
01. End Credits
02. Blood Sugar
03. Sketch 2 (Song for D.O.U.G.)
04. Ouroboros
05. Tarp2
