We're celebrating Mother's Day with some beautiful music for them.

I miss mine everyday, so just wanted to make something nice for her, wherever her soul is, I selected some triggering music to me that I instantly relate to her somehow.

Bamboo Shows 060 - Dreaming out loud w/ Jailor & Fula
Infos, Links & Podcast Series: www.bambooshows.com/jailor-fula-bs060

@sevedejour
@lepips

Wild at heart with extra softshell, Julie and Philippe, DJ duo from Lausanne, Switzerland, love experimental textures, pop voices, new age rhythmics, ambient soundscapes and “par dessus tout” leftfield rock-ambolesque soundtracks.
Landscapers of Garden Feelings, they travel in a psycho-romantic universe, where energies collide to bring dreamlike images to life.

Freshly back from the natural paradise of the Azores in Portugal, Jailor & Fula crafted there a tale between chaotic capitalism lands, tropical contemplation, alternating with guided goddess whispers. Oscillating between dreams and reality – their simple pleasure is to create a safe place to describe their deep feelings and broadcast them.

Bamboo Shows 065 - Earthly Tones w/ Soda Lite
Infos, Links & Podcast Series: www.bambooshows.com/soda-lite-bs065

@soda-lite

Soda Lite (they/them) lives on the small island of lutruwita (also known as Tasmania) and is deeply influenced by its cool climate rainforests, alpine plateaus and eucalypt valleys. They use music to communicate the unique lifeways of these environments to listeners elsewhere on earth. Soda Lite has recorded three full-length albums since 2017, releasing with notable ambient labels such as Constellation Tatsu and Inner Islands and the next record, entitled ‘Aqua Solar Cura’ is to be released in January 2022 on Not Not Fun.

Soda Lite provided a sweet contribution for Bamboo Shows to close the year peacefully. New age and minimalist ambient music from around the earth, moving slow like a mountain changing shape, or a lake growing warm in spring.

At dusk, they were here. Spreading their heady perfume up to my room, hundreds of white flowers. It came by the window, without even knocking as it was open.
After resting in the air a few hours along with the moonlight, the fragrance was gone by dawn.
I hope the jasmine blossoms will be back tonight, I’ll try to pluck them by stretching the arm.

Bamboo Shows 067 - Still waters w/ Santilli
Infos, Links & Podcast Series: www.bambooshows.com/santilli-bs067

@maxsant

Max Santilli, half of the Angophora duo, joins our series with one hour of gentle strings, lapping water and joyful chirps. Predominately focused on acoustic and electronic instrumental music, the Australian producer fuses here elements of new age, ambient, jazz and world music.

Another great calming contribution, an ode to the peaceful moments spent in nature. Perfect to accompany you either for a late-afternoon hike, a lazy camping-awakening by the lake or a sunny break in verdant meadows.

Bamboo Shows 070 - Carnivalesque Exquisite w/ BABAU
Infos, Links & Podcast Series: www.bambooshows.com/babau-bs070

@bab-u

Howdy?! We are now reaching the 70th guestmix of our series with BABAU. Composed of Luigi Monteanni and Matteo Pennesi, the Italian duo has been producing uncanny music for many years, but also publishing some of the quirkiest through their inspiring ArteTetra Records label, or promoting it thanks to many collaboration with Kiosk Radio, NTS, The Wire, Sun Araw, Senyawa, C2C Festival, Fusion, Saturnalia, Outernational Days…

Recently featured on our Vapordub compilation via their mind-blowing, Jon-hassellish ‘Singe’s Riddles (Sunnityland Explorations in Padova)’ the Milanese dudes contributes today with an hour of Carnivalesque leftfield music: weird noise from the funny side, fifth-world and those beyond, not-so-traditional detuned folk, exotic chirps, beeps and blips. Only one intention: bringing together minor weirdelia projects and bands from the globe.
What if the noisy neighbors were the only neighbors you had? And what if they were waiting ’til dusk before bringing out their feathers and masks and torches and unsettling paraphernalia into parade? We don’t know, you tell us, but after you cross that threshold, we don’t really know where all might go.

We're opening our Soundcloud page by mix of Lucia Kagramanyan, played in the place Vajrapar on 9 September.

Lucia is the host of "Panorama Yerevan" on radio NTS, great connoisseur of Armenian strange and popular music. The recording includes songs of different genres: from Folk to Rabiz. On the last track she couldn't stop, took the microphone and blew up the night by a karaoke performance. She sang very sincerely and sensually.

Մենք բացում ենք մեր սեփական էջը Soundcloud հարթակում, մեր լսողական երեկույթների ժամանակ ձայնագրված միքսերի շարքով: Առաջինը եղել է Լուսիա Կագրամանյանի միքսը, որի լսումը տեղի է ունեցել սեպտեմբերի 9-ին Վայրապարի պատերի ներսում:

Լյուսիան NTS ռադիոյի «Panorama Yerevan» հաղորդաշարի հաղորդավարն է, հայկական յուրօրինակ ու սիրված երաժշտության մեծ գիտակ։ Ձայնագրությունը ներառում է տարբեր ժանրերի երգեր՝ ժողովրդական երաժշտությունից մինչև ռաբիս։ Վերջին ստեղծագործության ժամանակ նա չդիմացավ, վերցրեց խոսափողը և այդ երեկոն դարձրեց կարաոկե ներկայացում. նա երգեց շատ անկեղծ և զգայական:

Второй выпуск передачи left/fields. Автор — Андрей Морозов, создатель и куратор фестиваля Fields.

Слово ему: «Мне очень нравится наблюдать за тем, как с течением времени меняется эстетическое восприятие одних и тех же вещей. Любая пошлость, сотканная из штампов, может вдруг превратиться в кич и фетиш — если она делается осознанно, как намеренная стилизация. Вспомните: еще в нулевых мы все смеялись над пережитками нью-эйджа и воспринимали такую музыку как форму бытового сектантства или вовсе признак отсутствия вкуса. Но уже сегодня, в эпоху метамодерновой реальности, даже саундтрек к любованию облаками может приобрести свою — пускай и сиюминутную — художественную ценность.

Второй выпуск left/fields — это такой идиллический музыкальный пейзаж с проплывающими саксофонами, томными арпеджио и зефирной психоделией. В основе «цветовой палитры» — инструментальный и синтетический эмбиент, пастельных тонов фьюжн-джаз, аналоговая электроника и внежанровая экзотика. В общем, если соберетесь провести час времени, праздно наблюдая за облаками, не забудьте включить этот микс».

Периодичность: два раза в месяц.

Recording of Terekke's set at the listening stage during Dekmantel Festival 2019.

Dekmantel Festival 2019

Listening Stage: Terekke at Dekmantel Festival 2019

The last mix of 2020 comes from Jonah Sharp (@reflecto), electronic mainstay and part of 'Virtual Dreams' as Space Time Continuum. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Welcome to the series Jonah. Originally from Edinburgh, San Francisco resident since 1992, do you still live in San Francisco?

JS: Actually I recently just moved back to SF after spending most of 2020 in the UK. I had planned to be in Europe for an extended break from the US but Covid saw an end to that and my plans had to change. I miss British and European culture. I have family and friends there so I intend to be back over as soon as I can!

MFM: According to your discography the majority of your output started to shape up right after you moved abroad, in '91. How would you explain this creative outburst? 

JS: Before I arrived in San Francisco i was still figuring out how to produce the music that I wanted to make so when I got here I started to collect gear in earnest - it was a little moment in time when most people thought analog synths and drums sounded shit so I managed to find a TR-909 for $150, a Roland SH101 at the flea market and so on. So yes, suddenly having some decent gear and fun gigs to play was very inspiring! I did feel a kind of creative freedom being so far from South London and the pressures of living there as an artist. SF in the 90’s was very affordable for artists and it gave us the freedom to really focus on the music.
 
MFM: You started your own label Reflective in '93 and had quite a busy release schedule, especially during '95/'96, before it suddenly seemed to stop right after. What happened? 

JS: I started Reflective in '93, the year my first son was born. Flurescence EP was my first solo release and it got noticed around the world so that enabled me to keep putting releases out. With the momentum of the Terence McKenna collab album, things were going pretty well. But what we found was that even though there are lots of amazing labels in the US, it was actually pretty hard to sell them domestically so most of our stock was exported to Europe and Japan. We ended up pressing in the UK and running the label from SF and that presented problems so I had to put the release schedule on hold. At that time I had also signed a deal with Astralwerks so had contractual obligations to deliver albums and tour. It was a very busy time and by 1997 when our second son was born we decided to take a hiatus from the label. Not to say the label is gone forever though!
 
MFM: Flurescence, now found its way to the Virtual Dreams compilation, almost 30 years later. How does it feel that your older music is being re-released and rediscovered by newer generations?

JS: I am very happy and honored to be part of the Virtual Dreams compilation. Yes, there seems to be a bit of attention for this time period of electronic music at the moment, and the chill out thing in general. With so many online resources, everything is discoverable by anyone so all those tiny labels like Reflective that were putting out small runs of 1000 records (that was a small run then) are maybe enjoying some retroactive attention now. 
 
MFM: Does this new interest change your motivation and/or inspiration in the studio maybe?

JS: I follow my own interests and direction when it comes to making music but reaching new audiences has to gratify the artist whose work was made for sharing. My development as an electronic musician has come through thirty years of studio experimentation, initially with hardware and then incorporating digital software. When I made Fluorescence in 1993 there was no computer in my studio, but by the early 2000s San Francisco was the epicenter of computer innovation, people like my friend Josh Clayton were writing amazing software and so I went off on a long exploratory trip to integrate digital technology both in my studio and in my live rig. My aim right now in the studio is the same as always: make sounds and keep the good ones.
