Input - Reactions

Very delighted to present my first collaboration with fellow ambient guitarist Ray aka Wodwo (@user-364196783-552705040), which we started and completed in July 2022 by sending recordings to and fro. Everything you hear is guitar or electric bass.

Ray also posted the tune on his profile: https://soundcloud.com/user-364196783-552705040/germ-wodwo-encym

Enjoy!

Fans of my ongoing ramblings must be already familiar with music by Thomas Meluch who records under the alias Benoît Pioulard. And if for some reason you're not, you can begin with his albums on Kranky, starting back in 2006 and working your way up to the present, to follow a trajectory of this composer, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and photographer. Be sure to also round your journey with this studio feature, in which I profiled Tom back in 2015. He's done a few collaborations, including one with Rafael Anton Irisarri under the Orcas project name. For this gorgeous release on the one and only A Strangely Isolated Place we find Meluch alongside his long-time friend and collaborator, Luke Entelis, as Viul (pronounced 'vell' which rhymes with 'bell'), a New York-based ambient composer who has appeared on Meluch's own imprint, Disques d'Honoré, reserved mostly for his own self-released works, and Past Inside the Present, with Outside The Dream World in 2019. Their upcoming collaborative album is named after a Czech word for "the end" (you know, those final pronounced striking letters, that often roll up when the film reached its peak), capturing the uncertainty of the world amidst the pandemic. And while the pieces originally began as an exchange of sketches and short lo-fi loops, the music that followed is truly engaging. On my favourite track on the album, which I am honoured to premiere for you today, we find the duo painting with wide brush strokes in pastel colours, deep-textured warmth, and hazy memories. And although this piece at first appears to be a repeating, stretched, and saturated tape loop, the more you listen to its slow decay, the more it makes you feel alive.

"The variation in minutia, samples and instrumentation throughout the album cannot be understated amongst its hazy aesthetic and ominous poignancy. It’s one thing to notice the details, but another to unstick the melodies from the closing credits of a dystopian city’s downfall, from the forefront of your mind."

This album explores the interplay between horizontal and vertical musical elements, where subtle acoustic events challenge perceived stillness. In the realm of drone music, these nuanced occurrences shape its immersive nature, injecting unpredictability into sustained tones. They blur the distinction between stasis and movement, fostering diverse listening experiences. Ultimately, these tiny acoustic events enrich the sonic landscape, challenging conventional musical narratives.
 
Creating electronic music blends sound design and composition. For this album, we've incorporated sounds from our experimental installations, emphasizing exploration over virtuosity. This process of crafting instruments and sounds enriches our music, capturing the essence of sonic exploration.

Experience the high strangeness of plant music—plants that “sing.” For years musician Nico Georis has used biofeedback instruments to connect a variety of flora to analog synthesizers, letting their biodata create music that is strange and existentially gorgeous.

Nico’s work in plant music happened during a six year span, and was set in motion by a simple desire to find a fresh supply of long-form ambient music for relaxing to at home. After a chance encounter with an obscure technology dating back to the 70’s allowing plant electricity to be converted to MIDI data, Nico began experimenting with using his house plants to generate endlessly evolving ambient music. “I was looking for music that I couldn’t find, and I realized the plants & I could make it.”

Here was an opportunity for another type of ambient music, one not born of the human brain, to emerge. A music that moves beyond human thought forms all together, and leans deeply into the green. Culled from hundreds of plant songs recorded between 2016 - 2022 both at home and in the wild Plant Music Vol. 1 and 2 represent the “greatest hits” of Nico’s plant music years.

Plant music Vol. 3 marks the newest installation, showcasing music generated from psilocybin mushrooms, known by many as “Golden Teachers”.

◯

"This music is created via an artistic translation of electrical biodata into musical data. Two mushrooms and the mycelium connecting them are hooked-up to sensors, and their fluctuating electrical conductivity is translated into an equivalent flow of music notes (MIDI). These notes are then filtered into musical scales and routed into synthesizers that generate tones.

These recordings have been arranged into a variety of solos, duets and trios. They reflect what we feel are the most fascinating and beautiful examples of psilocybin mushroom music, straight from the tub."

Dear friends,

It has been a long time since we last released a compilation – our previous one was back in 2020. For the 100th release of our label, we felt it was the perfect occasion to celebrate in great company! We invited many musicians who have collaborated with Dronarivm in the past to create joint tracks with an artist of their choice. The result is 24 uniquely diverse tracks that showcase the vast musical spectrum of the genre we generally call "Ambient."

We are proud to present Illuminations III, a compilation created as a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who has supported us over the years. This includes musicians, listeners, visual artists, photographers, designers, podcasters, reviewers, and everyone who has helped us grow and move forward.

Illuminations III features over two hours of outstanding music from leading ambient producers, and just like any true gift, it's completely free to download. Of course, if you wish, you can contribute any amount you find appropriate. All proceeds will go toward supporting and further developing our projects.

For those who prefer a physical format, the album is also available as a print-on-demand double CDr.

We hope you enjoy this release – a labor of love that took over six months to create. Thank you for your continued support!

Today’s #MusicalMinute called for sustained dyads on the vibraphone using a pitch-class set of 6-z19 — it sounds complicated doesn’t it?  However, the resulting track seems quite relaxing with the gentle lilt added by an offbeat celeste.  I am suppressing the urge to overcomplicate things.  What do you think?

Markus Trige Frandsen AKA Respira is one of the co-founders of Nature Tales and a resident musician of The Vibroacoustic Studio in Copenhagen. For the past 2 years his creative work has mainly been centered around music performance for yoga and meditation. Creating soundscapes of free form and fluidity, exploring texture and depth and playing with the contrasts and similarities of organic and electronic sound, he aims towards union and coherence between nature and technology.

“Since being invited to participate in the multi-sensory installation The Vesica Project one year ago, I’ve had the honor to work with sound and vibroacoustic technology together. In this case meaning a floor turned into a subsonic speaker, vibrating the body of the listener lying on it, creating a physical dimension of the music which can be an extremely relaxing, sleep inducing and even pain-relieving experience.

In May, Nature Tales opened up The Vibroacoustic Studio in Copenhagen and the exploration of this fusion of art and technology is now going strong, with weekly sessions of sound-massage, movement, yoga and concerts.

This is the first of two short sets I played for our introduction sessions for Vibroacoustic Sound Massage on the 5th of July 2020 - an improvised journey combining deep synthetic atmospheres, traditional acoustic sound-healing elements and field recordings”
