I am so grateful to share with you all today a very poignant and sacred entry in the Deep Mind Music series from Lou Drago. Lou has woven together a truly otherworldly psychedelic journey for the soul, a luminescent experience, a gently glowing hologram of emotion 💠

Lou Drago and I connected years ago when they asked me to make a mix for their TRANSIENCE series, which invites contributors to create a “temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate futures free from all systems of oppression.” We found a synchronicity in the role ambient music has played in our lives, and how it opens portals to new imagined existences for us. Since then, I’ve had the joy of playing for Lou at infinity rug, the ambient-focussed event series they curate with Marum, where we have shared deep chats, silly giggles and shared philosophies (as well as ambient music ofc).

They have put a great deal of thought and care into this mix, which you can hear in the delicately programmed selections, the fluidity of the whole, and the full-being submersion into an emotional plane of existence. From the opening seconds of the mix, clarifying crystalline twinkles open the way, realigning our sense of being, and taking us into this subtle soundscape. This mix feels like a gently calming presence, like both a sigh, and a weight lifted from the shoulders.

As we sink into the mix, we evaporate into vaporous wisps of energy, as expansive washes of sound contrast with infinitesimal whirls and organic instrumentation. We are submerged into a panoramic dreamstate, morphing mystical landscapes expanding before us. Lou guides us through a misty forest teeming with life, droplets of water slipping off the end of intricate leaves around us.

In the final 30 minutes of the mix, I feel as if I am all the flickering stars in the night sky, as interplaying vibrational drones dissolve us into the depths. Lou then very gently lifts us from this state, the atoms of our being carefully reassembled, coming back to reality in a state of blissful harmony. I hope you find peace in this heart-opening trip 🤍🌌🤍

This release comes in the same week that I will be joining Lou as a guest of TRANSIENCE at WHOLE festival this weekend, where we will both be playing ambient sets in the early hours of Saturday. I am really looking forward to this occasion of continued sonic kinship between us, see you there if you are coming 💗

The Observatory - Yumi Iwaki

Welcome beloved listeners, tonight's episode is slightly different to usual.

This piece was recorded live at Whole Festival during the transience takeover which featured sets by incredible prismatic~entities: Fairy Queen of Elves; Titania otherwise known as Synthtati, The Butterfly~Sorceress, Sybil and a live set by the cosmic angel, Dan Nicolls under the caress of breezes. Nine winds carrying all the temptations, delights, and perils that come with such a field as bass throbbed on in the distance. Hence, this set is a liiiiiiittle more wild that Lou's usual transience selection, as they channelled what was needed for that particular brew of listeners, at that particular point on earth, a process in spontaneity revealed itself. An 'ego death' experiment in trusting the process, the habits and tools they have learned. They experimented with dissonance and the harmonic relief that can come when such dissonance is removed. The length of time one can stand a sound… and so on.

Lou offers this mix as a guide for others who would like to listen back and join their journey~wormhole.

find an environment that feels right, some trusted friends, decent speakers and ....

Enjoy

~ Deep Breakfast 228 by Marja Burchard & Polygonia ~

~ This live set was recorded at Goethe Institut, Kolkata on April 2023 during their ambient music workshop ~

Marja Burchard is a composer, performer, artist and multi-instrumentalist. She was born as the only daughter of Christian Burchard, the founder of the music band Embryo. Having born and raised within the band, she has taken the role of leading the band herself since the death of her father in 2018. She has toured with Embryo in several countries around the world, including Japan, Morocco, Turkey, England, India etc. After studying ethnology, Slavic philology and musicology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Marja devoted herself solely to music. Since the age of nineteen until now she has been playing and composing in other bands like: Karl Hektor and the Malcouns, Radio Citizen, Karaba, Express Brass Band, World Wide Wig, Séferia and Jisr. Since 2018, she has been composing music for plays such as "Shush" by Eszter Tompa at Teatrul Gong in Sibiu (Romania), "Kill the Audience" by Rabih Mroué at the Kammerspiele in Munich, at the puppet theatre "Theater Ananas" in Munich, as well as for the street theatre AntagonTheateraktion from Frankfurt am Main, with which she has performed at various international theatre festivals such as in Brazil, Siberia, Romania, etc. Since 2015 she has been working with the Finnish dancer Anna Orkolainen, with whom she has developed, composed and performed many pieces such as "Die Regentrude", "Spiderweb", Porotanssi" or "der letzte Seraphim".

Polygonia represents a multidisciplinary music and art project conceived by Lindsey Wang from Munich, Germany. The soundscape of her own productions conveys a mystical, organic character and is characterized by driving complex rhythms. Polygonia’s sound palette ranges from energetic, dark deep techno to downtempo, grey area to textural and/or harmonic ambient. In addition, motifs from nature play a major role in many of her productions. Her DJ and live sets are characterized by a hypnotizing effect that invites one to completely lose oneself in the complex world of sounds for a longer period of time. Polygonia has already visited numerous of international prestigious venues. She is now a regular at Tresor or Berghain in Berlin, Blitz or Rote Sonne in Munich to name a few. Together with the artists Dycide and MTRL, she established her collective and label IO in 2018. In 2021, Polygonia launched the collaborative band project Lyder with the musicians Niklas Bühler and Moritz Stahl, focusing on the fusion of jazz and electronic music. In July 2022, she founded her own label QEONE. In addition, she manages the premiere and podcast platform Hadal Resonance.

Deep Breakfast 228 ~ Marja Burchard & Polygonia Live @ Goethe Institut, Kolkata

As Bright Patterns completes its fourth trip around the sun, we welcome Imaginary Softwoods as the special guest for November. It’s been a dream of mine to have John Elliott on the show. He’s been a part of so many incredible projects: Mist, Outer Space, Organic Dial, Emeralds—not to mention all of the eternally awesome records that were released via his expert curation on Spectrum Spools. It’s a treasure trove. All that said, the vast output of John’s solo project, Imaginary Softwoods, sits firmly atop this immense pile of sonic wonder. So many of these cuts have been played on Bright Patterns over the last four years. It is a vibe I carry with me, one that’s deeply embedded in my relationship to music. The last time I heard a mix from John was 2017 and I still talk about how good it is. With all of the gratitude to everyone who listens, I hope you’ll enjoy this mix of what he’s been listening to lately. Designed as a bit of a balm for a world in pain, it covers contemporary selections with a few new age classics, reflecting the daily eclecticism of his auditory diet. It also ushers in a new era for Bright Patterns, where it will run from 9am to 10am ET with the same Thursday cadence as it has been, each month, since the beginning.
