“I actually believe that humans are made for more than what we're currently doing. We just need to switch on parts of our brains that we're not." Funktion-One creator Tony Andrews reflects on music and spirituality live from AVA London.

According to visionary sound system designer Tony Andrews, the creator of Funktion-One, there’s a spiritual current that unites humanity—and good sound is the first way for us to explore our communal mind.

In this RA Exchange recorded live from AVA London, the founder of one of the best high-end speakers on the market reflects on his experience engaging in the broader, spiritual meaning of music and the universe and how his decision to start Funktion-One in 1992 sprung from a desire to help humans connect with each other. Far from being a technical deep dive into loudspeaker design and engineering, this conversation delves into his first forays into the world of sound as well as the broader implications of music and how it can incite a paradigm shift in how we experience the human experience and consciousness. 

Listen to the full, live talk and Q&A moderated by RA contributor Will Lynch.

We are happy to share with you Kooscha’s interpretation of Far Blue. 

“This mix contains some music I was listening to and discovering when I lived in and travelled around Cologne for 3 months earlier this year. Everything that felt like a perfect soundtrack for long train rides and zoning out, looking out into the far blue. Mix was recorded back in my Sydney home. “

As he elegantly fuses dub, minimal and more blissful tracks, Kooscha has created an uplifting experience that truly showcases his mixing and selection capabilities. 

“Are our lives predetermined or are we in control? A long distance train journey into an unknown city feels a certain way. I cannot help but wonder if this is analogous to life itself.”

“The world is blue at its edges and in its depths... For many years I have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. The color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. And the color of where you can never go. For the blue is not in the place those miles away at the horizon... Blue is the color of longing for the distances you never arrive in, for the blue world.” 

- Rebecca Solnit from ‘A Field Guide to Getting Lost’
