For the season finale, Hidden Rhythms is honored to host this month Ice_Eyes. Based in Athens, the duo develops throughout his mixes and productions a singular sound aesthetic. Driving between highly rhythmic tracks, to a bass doped with breaks from outta space, this mix is not for the weak hearted and invite to let go. All pleasure no pressure

Still dark the steps wake unseen the peripheral great old one who long has boiled in the still void beyond Things.

Osawa Tome is the ‘cosmic Appalachia’ alias of multi-instrumentalist, electronic producer, and North Carolina underground music scene veteran, Zeke Graves (Cold Sides, Datahata, Kinoeye, Northgate Syndicate, Ezekiel Graves, etc.).

Drawing on the vernacular traditions of the region, a love of minimalist and experimental composers, and a deep curiosity towards sound-generating technologies, Graves fashions a unique take on ‘folk music’ that wanders through ambient, drone, and new age territories. In true nomadic style, Graves declines permanent residence in any of these genres, instead opening up a meditative and transitory space where sounds can come and go, structures evolve and decay, and time just as easily run backwards as forwards.

Astute listeners will note the undeniable sway of creative beacons such as Terry Riley, John Fahey, Laurie Spiegel, and Roedelius. However, 'Mountain Minor' is primarily inspired by the Western North Carolina land where Graves was raised. Listen closely for the creek washing over the rocks, the insects chanting on a summer night, and the trees creaking in the winter winds. Take some time on the pathways of 'Mountain Minor' and hear for yourself.

Mountain Minor

Osawa Tome - Fern Knee (ENMD02)

Presented as a re-creation of two live sets performed in 2019, Patrick Gallagher deftly melds field recordings, a "fairly standard" synthesis toolkit, and prepared electric guitar into two peerless electro-acoustic compositions comprising his debut album for ENXPL (enmossed x psychic liberation).

As the album's title implies, "Set In the Bardo" embraces indeterminacy in all respects. An extreme range of timbrel variety and complexity is employed, from pure sine waves to nearly-incomprehensible sonic blasts. With a formal education in mathematics, Gallagher's astute arrangements modulate between smooth glissandos and abrupt interruptions, reflecting the compositional process used: salvaging hitherto-abandoned recordings and live snippets from the artist's archive. Post-processing was eschewed on the album in order to preserve the improvisatory nature of a live performance, giving an organic quality to the album which is often lost in academic compositions.

While "Set In the Bardo" was created in pre-pandemic times, it also functions well at this particular juncture of history. We have been 'set in the bardo' ourselves, and Gallagher has made an engrossing set of pieces - encapsulating and unfolding sonic uncertainties as we venture through trying times. Well worth many listening sessions; high volume and high fidelity during playback are recommended.

PSYCHIC LIBERATION SHOW ON MONTEZ PRESS RADIO JAN 2021  w/ Chris Fratesi (Gene Pick)

Angel Simitchiev & Linus Schrab “Airborne”

“Airborne” is a collaborative album from Angel Simitchiev (Mytrip, Dayin), also the first one released under his real name, and Linus Schrab (V I C I M, Thet Liturggiske Owäsendet, Purlieu Recordings). 
Throughout its seven tracks we observe two individual creative visions organically merging to shape a sound of its own. “Airborne” was recorded in May 2019 during an intense creative weekend in Sofia, Bulgaria. 

The album showcases different facets of Simitchiev and Schrabʼs rich musical palettes. From the ritualistic melancholia of opener ‘Initiationʼ, the industrial intensity of ‘A Smoke That Will Never Clearʼ, to the anemoia-inducing ghostly melodies of the self-titled piece and the dystopian, yet forlorn soundscapes of the albumʼs longest piece ‘Spores of Humanityʼ, “Airborne” is a work that combines ambient delicacy with the intensity of noise and post-industrial soundscapes.
