Deep Breakfast 291 ~ France Jobin

Electronic musician and pop ambient pioneer Markus Guentner was listening to Karen Vogt's track "Cloud forty-three" precisely at the same time as the church bells in his hometown of Regensburg, Germany, were ringing at 21h. Guentner commented on how well the two sounds work together, and Vogt agreed that he should do a remix using her original vocal loop track and the bell sound. Guentner recorded the bell ringing the next evening and then proceeded to mix the two together.
Original bell recording by Markus Guentner included as a bonus track over on Bandcamp: https://karenvogt.bandcamp.com/album/cloud-forty-three-markus-guentner-21h-rework

Spirit

After decades of chasing, accumulating, and then sharing new music with you, I think I've hit some saturation point. I think I'm done spinning in the vortex of the "new", being pulled in all directions, catching up on all the "fresh" and "innovative" tracks. I'm not saying that I will stop covering new music. No. But I think I'll focus the virtual lens of my listening on a very narrow point, investing my time and attention over more extended periods. I think I will turn inwards... towards music and the artists that genuinely make me feel. This is the case with Rafael Anton Irisarri's A Fragile Geography, an album from 2015, which captured my attention then as it does now, triggering memories, triggering thoughts, and emotion. A decade ago, during a move between coasts, Rafael lost his possessions - stolen with the moving truck - along with all his audio archives, forcing him to rebuild his studio and sound from the ground up. The pain of this loss is reflected in almost every single track on the album. This music is slightly dark and melancholic. It's visceral, and it gets under your skin. And there it stays with you for ages. Becoming part of you, becoming part of your existence.

On September 19th, the album will be reissued, beautifully remastered by Stephan Mathieu at his Schwebung studio, along with a limited edition cassette of remixes by the most renowned artists, handpicked by Rafael. "This record has always been about letting go of one life and rebuilding another", says Irisarri, "It feels fitting to return to it now - ten years later, in a different country, a different world." These reworks are worthy of your precious awareness as well. I know that there are more than a few in the pipeline (at least six), which will be revealed one at a time. As of this writing, there is already a gorgeous rework by the one and only William Basinski, with his version of "Secretly Wishing For Rain" with Gary Thomas Wright, which incorporates field recordings of Reseda rain and birds captured by Basinski himself. You can check out a digital stream of that track here. *BUT!* Today, I am premiering for you a second rework by Abul Mogard! This piece bears not only the original elements of "Persistence" but, of course, Guido's extremely personal touch that breathes new life into this sound.

Head over to headphonecommute.com to read more about this release, including a quote from Abul Mogard on the rework.

TRACK PREMIERE : Rafael Anton Irisarri - Persistence (Abul Mogard rework)

Tracking a personal and pivotal moment in his life, Rafael Anton Irisarri’s fateful album A Fragile Geography has shifted meanings from grief to resilience in the ten years since it was released. Irisarri’s mix for Bleep taps back into those initial feelings changed by time, highlighting glistening blankets of sound, gauzy chord sweeps, and romantic bittersweet swells amidst the swathes of blasting, folding harmonic noise. Ryuichi Sakamoto’s dreamily puffing organ chords waltz towards the swaying pendulum of piano on Bohren & Der Club Of Gore’s ‘Maximum Black’, revealing a jazz backing of noir drum shuffles. Mabe Fratti’s voice is soft and billowy like a cloud of perfume on her rework of ‘Hiatus’, dispersed by the privately reflective noise of Ethel Cain’s ‘Onanist’, both airily cushioning and sharply confronting.

“I made this mix for Bleep to celebrate the tenth anniversary and reissue of my album "A Fragile Geography". I structured the mix to mirror how grief moves through us. It's a haze of fragmented memories and emotions, drifting like smoke through dimly lit rooms with memory stained walls. Each song feels like a whispered thought, a fogged-up mirror, or a letter never sent. Some tracks feel soft and distant, while others hit a little harder. Grief doesn’t scream here; it sighs, loops, and lingers. Tape hiss, faint piano, distant voices, and time dissolved strings shape the sound. I wanted this mix to feel like memory itself: flickering, fading, and returning. Remember, forget, and remember all over again.” - Rafael Anton Irisarri

Bleep Mix #310 - Rafael Anton Irisarri

After a long hiatus, a new track for @disquiet. Glad to be back!
Stitched together from a couple of unfinished pieces of the recent and not-so-recent past, amongst them bits of an Ae-ish pad/beat, a clicks-and-cuts w.i.p. with a rejected Fender Jazz Bass B-line, various bits and bobs that I abandoned fairly soon after starting them. Basically, improvising with leftover bits, which is how most encym tracks tend to happen anyway. 
So big thanks to Mark for this just-my-cup-of-tea assignment.
Enjoy!

My attempt at a suspense cue for an imagined film. 

I got commissioned to write a film score recently. It ended up being rejected but as luck would have it, shortly thereafter  Marc’s @disquiet assignment came up. So I had quite a bit of material left over from these sessions. I felt they fit the “spooky and tense” bill just nicely. So using these as a starting point, I proceeded to add and remove layers, and a bass synth makes a rare appearance here, as well. Hope you enjoy it!
