Hanyo van Oosterom started the ambient collective CHI in 1983. Jacobus Derwort, a musician friend with Hanyo was the first musician to join CHI. Together, they went to the magic rock “The Kallikatsou” on the island of Patmos, Greece.

Here, Hanyo had stayed for months in a cave for some deep soul-searching. He heard CHI in the silence of the night like a message from out of space. Being together at the Kallikatsou they shaped the foundation of CHI, making handmade flutes from local bamboo and conducting field recordings of water, crickets, owls, goats, wind, etc.

After several years of collaborations with musicians like Willem Cramer and Michel Banabila, they decided to start together the beautiful The Chi Factory with which released (with the help of Ario Farahani and his label Astral Industries) some of the most beautiful records in the history of ambient music

Following the passing of group member J. Derwort in 2019, Hanyo van Oosterom’s legacy work brings about the next evolution of the Chi project: Son of Chi.

The sound of Hanyo Oosterom unfurls lushly overgrown 4th world drones, voices, and field recordings, naturally drifting between time-slowing beats, FM radio interference, and languid instrumentation combining the western retro-futuristic point of view, the New Age, and the ancestral eastern tradition.

In 2007 Hanyo invited the legendary Jon Hassell for two magical nights of “instant composing sessions” with the Numoonlab Orchestra in LantarenVenster in Rotterdam, Netherlands, with other special guests like Tony Allen (Fela Kuti), Ursula Rucker, Kain the Poet (Last Poets), Dwight Trible (Art Ensemble of Chicago), Omar Ka, Anthony Joseph, Colonel Red, Joe Bowie (Defunkt) and many more. The recordings are still online.

Arthur Flink was part of this Numoonlab Orchestra. Arthur is a trumpeter and electronic jazz producer from Rotterdam, Netherlands. Previously active in bands like Monsieur Dubois, State of Monc, and their collaboration project Monsieur Dodo, he now releases work through the FLiNK project.

In late 2022 Hanyo van Oosterom (Son of Chi) and Arthur Flink released ‘The Fifth World Recordings’. A tribute to the late Jon Hassell, who passed away in 2021, the album connects a deep running thread that captures perfectly the mysterious and magical world of the American trumpet player and composer.

blurer is a peripheral study exploring ways to perceive our surroundings beyond any focal point. The poetic text where the winds are coming from, invites contributing artists and musicians to collectively explore a world that has become unfamiliar yet again. Inspired by the moment Alice tumbles into Wonderland, it asks what it means to unlearn, relearn, and navigate within a world anew. Like Alice, this conceptual mixtape delves into places, things, and feelings that have been overlooked, ignored or seen as a backdrop. The text, tracks, and sounds of this compilation take us on an explorative journey—not to arrive somewhere, but to sense that what lies within the blur has always already been in the here:now.
(Lisa Walder, 2025)

Most music is used as a form of abstract translation. To unblur the personal, we abstract it and transform and transport it through familiar sounds. Through abstraction, the motives are essentialized to their core. In this, minimalism becomes a prioritisation. A blur can be more flexible. The reduction of elements could be optimistic or protective.
What this release does is observe the peripheral, to look for emotionality or personality within it, but also to create atmospheres that appear peripheral, yet are again included in the general blur.
When hearing the sounds of blurer, the focus of the compositions fluctuates and directs the listener’s perception to certain points within, not only to hear what seems essential but also to draw closer attention to the peripheral. Throughout the whole release, the procedures are very different. Some moments are vivid, almost narrative. There are deconstructed references to find, in both energetic and quiet forms. Occasionally, we pass by rearing, foggy drone walls or prancing, twirling, or scurrying melodies carried around, on synths or guitar strings. Blurer seems to harbor atmospheres of comfort in the cold, loops of spiraling memories or expressions of disorientation, that scamper around on the acoustic foundation created by the 19 artists.

Vinea's Day of Future Past

Italian duo https://soundcloud.com/naturalelectronicsystem have been a force within techno’s underground since 2004, gaining respect through their much revered podcasts for cult websites such as mnml ssgs and Smoke Machine, as well as their international dj sets, including at Labyrinth in Japan. 

After a mesmerizing set at the Patterns of Perception opening party at OHM in April, we are pleased to have natural/electronic.system. provide the seventh installment of our mix series - an hour of groovy, slowly unfolding dub techno.

We also had a chat with the duo about the mix, their push into production, and the music that makes them 'vibrate': http://goo.gl/LxTbOH
