Thoughts and words from @ivy-dripp over at https://passingnotes.radio

Seeing the interstate circuit beginning to turn in Melbourne means the return of one of Sydney’s stalwart DJs, IV Drip. Ivy is radio host (Nomad Radio), events organiser (Headroom), expert mix curator (NTS, Animalia) and critical fixture in the Nectar family. Inherent to being part of the Nectar crew, is their commitment movement toward gender equality in the electronic music community. Ivy’s commitment to her community shines both on and off the stage - always tinkering away and bringing multiple creative projects to life, she’s undoubtedly drawn to creating spaces that keep Sydney’s nightlight alive. Beyond her backstage prowess, Ivy and IV Drip’s mixes have always left me floored. Luckily her in demand skills as a DJ and artist have landed her an ongoing slot on Nomad radio, where she has recently transitioned from presenting her show ‘Thanks for Sharing’ to newly founded ‘Home Time’ where she explores Australian music bounded by no sound. Ivy joins me for IWD X 2 Years Passing Notes, and also shared some thoughts with me over at https://passingnotes.radio.

"sounds rushing" is a track by dominic plaza . i edited it on virtual dj and by adding some spoken words a few years ago. this week , while playing on my sx3 , i synced into something i'd been intensely interested in recently .... pan flutes , panpipes , ancient thinking . sinking into moments like this make me feel seen and heard , so thank you ! this is everything :+)

(panpipes / ) sounds rushing

01 Synthscape One

Surrounded by and giving life to one of the northern-most, temperate rainforests in the world, the Pacific Northwest's chalak’At’sit (Hoh River) carves its way from the glaciers of Mount Olympus towards the Pacific Coast.

Close your eyes and let the soundscape of chalak’At’sit envelope you in her emerald, verdant embrace. Layered embers of ethereal tones flicker, then quickly disappear across undulating waves of pirouetting idiophonic vibrations. Thus begins a psychedelic trip through exothermic rainforest-scapes and climaxes nestled in lush, majestic reverie.

Headphone listening recommended, for the sonic details.
The immersive audio-visual trip is best viewed in HD on Youtube:

The moon remained silent

"this weekend i met my friend in the park, and she told me that the closest star to the earth is 4.244 light-years from us. which means when you listen to this mix of heavy drums that remind me of where i am today and where my roots are at the same time, you'll hopefully be receiving the light that this star emitted sometime in June 2016. hope you find some connection to it x" @kamnam

Kallista Kult’s self-titled release was a wonderful blend of dub, pop and more abstracted elements and their song, “The Earth Did A Line”, was in my head for months. I loved the anonymity and identity of it all – it carried a subtle but perverse sense of humour that was complimented by their fantastic track titles. They self-released another album, Kypress Hill, which will see release as a new edition on A Colourful Storm next year.


Tracklist:
Bu Cree – Valley Of The Strings
Mary Ellen Childs – Ruler Etude: A Work In Progress
Troth – Silva Plana
Mary Ellen Childs – Ruler Etude: A Work In Progress
Peter Knight – Solo Improvisation
Susumu Hirasawa – Behelit
Altai Kai – Kara–Suu
Sspiritt – Spirit4
Mitsuru Tabata – Seagulls
Raev – Pig On My Street (inst.vers)

Here's a track of mine (Wyn MT) out now on Selkies 1 (@sseellkkiieess).

https://sseellkkiieess.bandcamp.com/

A nice video has been made for it over here: https://youtu.be/RZrUJNW_sNg

Wyn MT - The Great Whatever (selkies)

From my infant years I have had the privilege of having frequent holidays to Rosedale, South East coast of Australia. It's a very special place for me. New years eve 2019 I was greeted with a msg advising immediate evacuation as the fire was heading towards Rosedale. After some general stress we headed for Batemans Bay evacuation centre. The severity of the situation became apparent as the sky turned completely black with a red hue.

Rosedale Fires mix contains all original material compiled from various musical jams I have had at the Rosedale house from 2000-2020. Plus input from Sam Miers and Daniel Oakman; two very important Batemans Bay renegades who have taught me a lot about the local area, from its incredible Aboriginal roots to local juicy gossip. 

I've been lucky enough to share the family house with close friends who feature on these recordings. The field recordings are taken from recordings Sam Miers made in areas around Rosedale now regenerating after the fires, and snippets that I recorded in the evacuation centre as the fire approached us. I'm yet to return with all this covid biz but looking fwd, nature is the true boss.

Tracklist:
Night night Tilba Tilba - Sam Miers (forthcoming on Eurobodalla musical life review album) 2020

The cave - Sam & Santi 2019 
there is an incredible cave near stinkies aka nuns beach, a day earlier me and Santi saw a whale swimming and playing just a few 100m away

Tourism touches my heart - Batemans Bay(Sam Miers & Daniel Oakman) 2014
the sample used and manipulated was recorded at Catalina with fireworks in the background on new years 2012. The street was vista avenue, it got nailed by the fires on new years 2020

My Way - Bum Creek(Trevelyan Clay, Tarquin Manek & Samuel Karmel)2005
The testosterone fuelled power struggles jam from newly discovered recordings was from a session down the coast that wreaked with tension after our cars crashed into each other at the lights in Queanbeyan on the drive up from Canberra

The bass is resonating - Resonant Bacon Collective(Luke Bicevskis, Scott Morrison, Simon Ross & Samuel Karmel) 2001/2002 from a life-affirming friendship special trip with newly formed university mates, this song is a payout of my neighbour who came over and complained that the "Bass is resonating" from our jams. This was conceived shortly after as a punky fuck you to him as he returned to his house
