An epic journey, loved right this moment 🌟

This recording is very special to us. Two hours of sonic bliss from our dear friend Avsluta recorded at the Stone Circle stage at Above Below 2023. As a long-standing resident of the Beacon stage, it was exciting to see how Avsluta would take control of the Stone Circle after she proposed a UK-Bass set early this spring. 

Needless to say, it was easy to see why she wanted to explore this avenue of sound. Avsluta weaved her way through various shades of bass music, expertly intertwining rhythm and groove with the deep atmospheric touch that she is known for. 

As the weekend came to a close and the timeless memories started to settle in, we grew evermore eager to share some of the magic that occurred down in the valley. Hopefully, this mix will help convey a snapshot of the blissful moments experienced over the three days.

Continuum: a coherent whole characterised as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

The setting is Mostra festival, a special gathering in Barcelona that needs no presentation for the lovers of experimental sounds, ambient explorations and avant-garde dancefloor beats. A dark room inside the Fabra i Coats industry complex -now turned a cultural space- is slowly filling up with devote festival-goers. Mostra attracts a crowd of curious listeners and seasoned music enthusiasts, and feels like a bit of a pilgrimage for fans of those deeper and more adventurous sounds. On Thursday during the early hours, there is a sense of reunion, a loving community that finally gets together again to see familiar faces, and a very welcoming bunch greeting the first time comers. 

And Maribel Tafur was soundtracking this magical moment. She stepped up to play the first notes of the festival and start colouring the blank sonic canvas of this Mostra weekend. The Peruvian composer, based in Barcelona, borrows from nature -particularly from the Andes and her family archive- using found sounds and other field recordings, and weaves them with selections of warm pads and ambiences. 

The result couldn’t be more fitting: Maribel welcomed us to Mostra with a soundtrack that channeled the feeling of that warm hug and that invitation to come in and sit down, because we are home. The sounds of water creeks, rustling leaves of fire crackling mixed with comforting soundbeds made for a perfect first stroke for this year’s Mostra painting. 

And we couldn’t be more honoured to share the recording with you today. All the friends that follow this channel know how special Mostra is for us. 

Thank you Maribel and Mostra.

Glimpse 1542 (Dec 22 2025)

Threshold: is a temporal musical composition based on a field recording captured on the frozen shore of Loch Insh, just outside Kincraig in the Scottish Highlands, at the threshold between years (2025 → 2026).

Starting at one minute to midnight on 31.12.25, the original recording captures this ephemeral moment in real time and passage across the threshold in to the new year: distant voices counting down to midnight across the loch, fireworks echoing through the valley, geese startled into flight, wind and snow sweeping across the ice, and the resonant cracking of the frozen surface beneath the microphone.

The composition uses an aleatoric heterophonic structure where multiple instrumental voices interpret the same melodic material at different speeds and directions, creating sustained tension that mirrors the liminal quality of the midnight threshold. Musical material is derived from the ice's own resonance frequency (used as the root note), while melodic content is drawn from the notes of Auld Lang Syne, distributed across strings, tuned percussion, choir, and tape processed vocals.

The original ambisonic recording forms the sonic foundation, mixed to binaural for immersive spatial listening. Environmental events, particularly the fireworks, trigger key changes and textural development throughout the piece.


THIS IS AN 8 MIN ABRIDGED VERSION OF THE PIECE. 
Full length version (12 mins) will be releasing on BANDCAMP alongside accompanying visuals on Youtube: https://youtu.be/spUKblfb5ec?si=6z6EknTILHIzDPa7

Future developments may include an interactive web based version allowing listeners to spatially navigate and mix between individual stems in real time, and potentially a live performance score for choir, tuned percussion, and surround audio playback.

Headphones strongly recommended for full binaural experience.

Contemporary Artist - Composer
aka Gizem - Dj / Producer 


Gizem Öz is a multifaceted artist based in Amsterdam, working as a composer, sound artist, and contemporary artist. Her practice centers on conceptualisation, transforming abstract ideas and emotions into experiential forms of sound and space.

Guided by a deep curiosity about sound and consciousness, she explores how listening can open pathways to awareness and transformation. Drawing inspiration from our sensory existence and interactions with the universe, her work invites perception to slow down and deepen.

Using processed field recordings, electroacoustic instruments, and textural layering, she creates immersive auditory landscapes that expand into multisensory experiences. Her works move between philosophy and feeling, weaving sound, silence, and perception into a dialogue about being, consciousness, and unity.

She is the founder of Mārga, a platform dedicated to audiovisual experiences, experimental music, and sensory exploration.

Under the alias Gizem, she also performs as a DJ and producer, translating her contemplative sound world into movement through hypnotic rhythms and emotional storytelling.

Her work lives in the space between club and gallery, ritual and technology, emotion and abstraction, where perception softens and consciousness expands.

Selected showcases include Waking Life (PT), Amsterdam Dance Event (NL), FIBER (NL), Art Biesenthal Berlin (DE), Wildeburg Festival (NL), Garage Noord (NL) and beyond.
