Time bends a little when you travel, or at least this selection makes that feeling more vivid.   

‘I made it before I went away for a holiday at my parents. I wanted to make a mix for a road-trip and I think that’s how it turned out. And we were listening to this sort of music a lot in my dads car when driving around that week’. 

Artur Strekalov a.k.a mu tate (@mutate3k), is a UK-based ambience producer, original from Latvia. He’s the mind behind ‘Let me put myself together’, a notable record published this year on @triplexlarge, and also the host of the mix series ‘Inexact’ on @radiosygma.

This mix was recorded in September of 2021.

Æther #007 by Alessandro Barbanera
Dronarivm Guest Mixes Series

Mix number 7 in the Æther series comes from Italian sound artist, musician, composer and guitar maker Alessandro Barbanera. 

Over the course of an hour, Alessandro carefully explores the nuances of modern ambient music – often touching on its darker, more mysterious edges, yet never fully descending into shadows or melancholia.

Check out Alessandro's latest album 'In Darkness Let Me Dwell', released by Dronarivm's dark vibes division, Owl Totem Recordings ~ https://owltotem.bandcamp.com/album/in-darkness-let-me-dwell

Dive In Chapter 8

Lucid and Alive

An intimate sonic portrait of Odesa, a Ukrainian city along the Black Sea. Produced by Ivan Samokrutkin, with support from the podcast Here There Be Dragons, this densely layered sound collage weaves together raw and haunting field recordings (audio documents of air raid sirens, the hum of a restless city, the distant murmur of the sea, snatches of conversation, and mechanical pulses), remixed local sound art, and processed samples of acoustic instruments (bayan, kalimba, flute, tambourine, psaltery, and more) to create a shifting and fractured soundscape of a city marked by war, tension and stillness. 

Many thanks to Ivan Samokrutkin, Jess Myers, Adriene Lilly and Olivia Bradley-Skill.

Artist : Autistici
Title : Temporal Enhancement
Release Date : November 2nd, 2015
Catalogue # : DR-34
Format : CD
Pre-order here: https://dronarivm.bandcamp.com/album/temporal-enhancement

“Temporal Enhancement” is a sonic exploration of the perception of time. Each sound is an event. Each event a ‘here and now’ perception, experienced and consigned to memory. Each sound exists in the ‘specious present’ and exists for a set duration before ending. Temporal space in between each sound populates the narrative of present and past. The brain relies on memory to bring order and meaning to the sequence and to notice changes across the passage of time. The experience of harmony or disharmony all depend on the placement of events, the spaces between these events and relation of each event to each other.

“Temporal Enhancement” brings together a range of abstract ambient, folk, microsound and modern classical influences to create its narrative. Audio artefacts are interwoven from a range of manmade and natural acoustic sources. Details are preserved or lost, clarified or confused through the compositional process. Each track is an offering, an invitation to join external signal and internal perception. In a world where the perception of time can be both a joyous or painful experience the sounds offer an insight into the human condition. Autistici works on the premise that the true and final experience of any sound belongs in the mind’s ear of the listener.

In the words of Francis Bacon: “Perhaps one day I will manage to capture an instant of life in all its violence and all its beauty.”

Autistici is David Newman, a UK electronic music composer who is based in Sheffield (UK). Autistici’s work incorporates a wide range of sources including textural sound design, orchestration, space and fragments of found sound or field recordings.
