Oslated Special Mix 023 - Joan Gila

HOC Radio
Tarragona
Spain

Joan Gila is defined as a music eater. He has been collecting records since he was 15, and his great passion is searching from box to box and discovering jelly beans. He is the thinking head and curator behind the HOC radio podcast platform. Joan is also a part of the DJ duo Binomi alongside his longtime friend, where they have played across different venues in Barcelona and others. They recently released a music talk show at Dublab Barcelona called Geography and History, give it a listen to get to know more about the duo.

A history/mix composed of titles of each track, walking you through an entry into planet earth and guiding you back through the exit. A journey experienced through the perspective of a foreign entity viewing our planet, always hidden, peacefully observing. 

The podcast is built around the concept of track titles. Subjectivity is always present, especially in muzak music that leaves out text. Each author proposes a title based on an idea, and this is how this journey is built. Something coming from somewhere in the universe, quietly entering into planet Earth, observing; the atmosphere, the forest, the oceans, the people, its dance… Once done, it moves away from where it has entered, without causing any disturbance.

Oslated Special Mix 023 - Joan Gila

Monochrome presents, Eté II : Adhémar.

This summer, Monochrome is offering each month to one or several artists to discover their influences and inspirations through a forty-five minute to two hour recording. These three recordings will focus on Ambient, IDM and Deep Techno.

Artist biography :

Adhémar is a multidisciplinary artist, establishing his universe through music and plastic works. Constantly in search of the luminous quality of sounds, in a world made of shadows and lights, his music is closely linked to his plastic work.
This obsession with shadows leads him to think and create spaces, atmospheres that focus on the lightness and poetry of light. The idea of "narrative potential of music", allows to confront the psychological and philosophical journey with a particular report on what is alive and what surrounds us (whether it is the material world, immaterial, the fact that everything is in constant becoming). With a particular rigor for the transitions, whether in his own production or in his DJset, his universe is built little by little, according to the sound transformations.

Tracklist :

01. Water sounds, Field recording
02. felicity mangan - bell bird and friends
03. Shakali - Aja Udu

@oreste-music

Born and raised in the Loire valley, a tiny piece of heaven near Nantes, Oreste has always been surrounding by trees, old castles and ruins. This calm and pastoral surrounding remains an endless source of inspiration for this 24-year-old ambient producer.
Oreste is carrying out a project in connection with his environment. His sound compositions reveal a vast universe, like a firmament of ethereal layers under which a variety of organic and watery textures swarm, a world sometimes crossed by a fog of disturbing strangeness.
Deeply inspired by the fantastic musical ambient music microcosms, his desire to contribute to it shapes his ethereal sound and aesthetic.

After working in the shadow for a while he begins to make his path slowly in the electronic ambient world, and being released by several labels such as Lett Records , On board, Multipass records, Rites, and more soon. Lately, found his own one « Emerald Garden Records » with a first surprising physical release.

Christian Duka is an electronic musician, sound artist & designer, immersive audio specialist and higher education lecturer. His musical outputs span the experimental and left-field electronic dance music both in his solo work and ongoing collaborative projects Vādin (with Avsluta) and MARMO (with Marco Maldarella). 

Christian's passion for immersive sound was sparked by a month-long residency at MONOM 4D Sound in Berlin and blossomed into his multi-disciplinary project UR: Human Presence — an artistic experience involving 3D sound, contemporary dance and performance art. Amazed by the creative potential of spatial audio, in 2019 he founded AMOENUS, an immersive art organisation that supports the development of immersive audio in the arts via R&Ds, events and workshops, most recently on their own custom made 16.4 sound system currently installed at The Bath House in London.

Mostra 
@mostrabcn 
Mostra is a project that comes straight from the heart. An independent, small-format festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music which emerges as a counterpoint to the macro-festivals and the overcrowded, commercial and rather impersonal offerings of other large events held in Barcelona.

Mostra's third edition took place between the 28th and 31st March. Aina Climent's two hours set opened the festival on the first day of performances at Hangar, a day dedicated to the more horizontal musical proposals and cutting-edge sounds within the four days festival celebrated.

Campfire Stories 61 (Orakei Korako) by @valentinomora

~ About The Story ~

Orakei Korako “Place of Adorning” on the banks of the Waikato River, the ukaipo (birthplace) and principal papakainga of Ngati Tahu-Ngati Whaoa. Tahu Matua travelled the lands in the rohe; it is here he placed himself. The area was abundant in kai sources, geothermal resources and in an ideal location situated on the banks of the Waikato River.

Orakei Korako has been an important settlement site of Ngati Tahu for many generations. The settlement of Orakei Korako consisted of a fortified pa on the left bank above the river and a living area on the flats beside the river amidst the geysers and hot pools.

Ngati Tahu-Ngati Whaoa has a historical, cultural and contemporary association with geothermal resources within our traditional rohe. Such resources were used for cooking, drinking, bathing and healing. Large kainga and cultivations were often established around these taonga such as at Orakei Korako, Ohaaki and Waiotapu.

The geothermal landscape has changed over time, but the geysers, hot springs, bubbling mud pools and silica terraces remain within the geothermal park. Our taonga have cultural significance to our iwi, and under our care we ensure to remain kaitiaki of our whenua, natural resources and taonga. As kaitiaki ensuring to protect and restore this area is important to Ngati Tahu-Ngati Whaoa.  

~ Notes ~

Campfire Stories is a mix series by friends of Silent Season. The focus of the series is on storytelling through deeper electronic music. Artists weave together narratives using the emotional characteristics of ambient and techno music.

Thanks to all the artists and labels whose sounds help tell the story.

Thank you for listening.
