Fresh from releasing his debut album Endless Path of Memory, sound artist and experimental musician Nexcyia sends a mix for Bleep that is equally mystical and varied. Spiralling piano keys flurry into rich, lush folk and classical arrangement, then the serenity breaks for whirring, portal jumping electronics. Shoegazing walls of strums, blurred vocals, and soft acoustic lullabies rub against abstract percussive clusters and eruptions of stream, with ethereal sonics bursting into murky club rhythms. 

"I recorded this mix at home on Ableton, it's the stuff I listen to on a daily basis. There are a lot of collaborations here that I admire. Some new music here by Kevin, a duo comprised of Ben Bondy and Mister Water Wet and unreleased music by NUG, a music project by Florian T M Zeisig and PVAS. We also have some Shinetiac - (shiner, Ben Bondy & Pontiac Streator)." - Nexcyia

This playlist is organized around unlabelled tapes in the Sun Ra archive. In addition to many rehearsal, performance, and lecture recordings, there are a few tapes in the archive that aren't easily categorizable -- a collection of recordings of a voicemail machine, or a series of short synth improvisations, for example. I have a special love of uncategorizable things, so I gravitated towards these tapes particularly, including selections from the aforementioned two, as well as a tape that seems to be Ra tuning through the radio and occasionally singing along. The voicemail tape is actually recordings of voicemails left for Alton Abraham, Sun Ra's manager and good friend. I love the refrain of his most frequent caller -- "Ham pick up, pick up Ham" -- and the drama that unfolds with so little context. I'm drawn to the synth recordings because Ra seems to be truly experimenting: stopping and starting at places before finding a new pattern. I love to think of this larger-than-life man having a quiet moment in the studio by himself. On side A of the "radio poem" tape, you can hear Ra improvising words over the radio, but on side B (which I've included almost in its entirety), he only occasionally sings along. Instead of feeling like a piece, it just feels like we're listening to the radio together. The only edit I made in that recording is to cut short Hotel California -- even if Sun Ra wants to listen to that, I don't.


I also included some selections from the Malachi Ritscher collection: Mamadou Diabate Ensemble at Eli's Cheesecake World (this place still exists!), Rob Mazurek with an ensemble in 2005, and Milford Graves at the Empty Bottle. I love the aliveness of these recordings: that we can hear Graves running around the space with a whistle and some bells, people whooping as he passes; that the Diabate Ensemble's incredible playing is punctuated by children crying. Music is in space and time and real people are listening, then and now. 


In a similar vein: ESS recently uncovered a tape of Fela Kuti live at the Riviera, which I've included a few cuts of. It's really cool to hear Kuti live, but somehow equally wonderful to hear the unknown recordist offering a light to a friend. Which is to say that these recordings remind me that music is something that happens between people, and this playlist is about celebrating that.

Most of what Till does in his life is related to music, be it as a promoter, writer, DJ or producer. In Bern based, as a musician he is part of various projects such as Colliding Fields or A Trillion Rah Sunns, as a promoter and DJ part of the Bollwerk crew and has released music on labels such as Traverse, Swim and Unvague. With his roots in the club culture, his music can go quite far nowadays: Compositions for dance & theatre pieces can become radically experimental, others as pop as never before. This mix is an assemblage of modern tones, mostly inspired by uk club music without being club music. It's a melancholic take on vibes ranging from experimental grime back to the fantastic early years of the almost forgotten genre called Weightless. Enjoy listening.
