Endurance - Feel

As the rainforest whispers in my ear,
I feel my soul awaken, devoid of fear.
In this esoteric land, I find my way,
Led by the waves that gently sway.

The flute's sweet melody carries on the breeze,
Merging with Arabic chants and putting me at ease.
A hunter's call in the distance heard,
As the tiger's roar echoes like a sword.

A Solipsistic Orgy dances in the night,
The white flower's beauty an enchanting sight.
Silvery eyes of marble meet my gaze,
As I witness a dolphin's mystical craze.

A sultan's palace, purple skies above,
Uncle's stories told in a garden of love.
The dao's teachings guide my every move,
No idols worshipped, no need to prove.

Pyrolysis of old ways, a burning flame,
A castle's ruins left to the jungle's claim.
A lost tape's secrets still remain,
Whispers in the wind, a haunting refrain.

The eye of the snake meets mine,
In the Amazonia's depths, a world divine.
A desert's heat and a pyramid's might,
Jungle's secrets and the moon's soft light.

In this spiritual journey, I find my truth,
An esoteric path, full of youth.
As the rainforest whispers in my ear,
I am reborn, devoid of fear.

PSEE - AMATEUR EXOTIC'S SOLIPSISTIC REALM OF SIGHT

From the great sky, she directed her mind to the great earth... She gazed trough the centuries-old stone blocks and waters of the world's oceans, the look of her eyes penetrated...Her heart yearned fro a place beyond the reach of mortals, a place where no one returns...

With a fierce determination she gathered the signs of dominion and justice, in her grasp, securing them with precious golden wrists and a jade sceptre...She donned the Crown of Eden upon her head, disguising herself to avoid recognition, and wrapped a turban around it to shield her from the winds...A shimmering lapis lazuli necklace adorned her neck, while two pearls in the form of water droplets rested upon her chest...She draped herself in a robe befitting a mistress and adorned her fingers with glittering gold rings...

As she gazed upon her reflection at the crystalline of the cosmos, She spoke words that resonated with purpose and intent:

- Today, I embark on a journey to a destination unknown...When I cross the threshold of infinity, let the the mournful strings of life and death play on the ruins of ancient civilisations...But know this - you can always find me by opening the doors of your heart...

With these words, she took the first steps towards a path known only to fate, and the mind questioned her intentions:

- "Where are you headed?"
- "I'm going to the East," she replied
“If you are going to the East, why are you on your way to a place of no return? Why let your heart guide you towards what seems like a ruse?"
- "I'm not heading towards my destination, but to find myself on this path...I'm not going to die, but to be reborn"

In the twilight of infinity enveloped her spirit, she ventured through the seven gates that sealed her fate...When she entered the first gate, the Crown of Eden fell from her head... When she entered the second gate, signs of dominion and justice crumbled to dust...When she entered at the third gate, the azure necklace became coal...When she entered the fourth gate, her turban became sand...When the gate entered the fifth, the golden wrists turned out to be snakes...When the sixth gate entered, those drops of the bead became rivers...When the gate entered the seventh, the robe of the lady fell from her shoulders...

She appeared naked before the light of the seven beings - the keepers of the gates...

- What will be your role in great scheme of things? They asked
- Will u you dare to become the arbiter of justice or will you fade into darkness, self-hatred and the emptiness of an unfulfilled life? 

With a thundering sound of seven voices, the guardians asked...

Can you not see how meager and lowly are the forces which drive them astray? Fear, doubt, sloth, temerity...Are any of these a worthy match for that which you strive to be?

They looked at her - it was the look of death...And they killed her by their decision and hung her body on the chains of ignorance...Darkness...

But as her body hung on the chains of ignorance, a bright light radiated from within her...The light grew brighter and brighter until it burst forth and shattered the chains that held her...

With a voice as strong as the thunder that had just spoken, she declared:

- I will not fade into darkness or despair! I will be the arbiter of justice, and I will fight against fear, doubt, sloth, and temerity...I will shine a light in the darkness and be a beacon of hope for those who are lost!

As she spoke, the seven judges bowed their heads in reverence. They had witnessed the transformation of a mortal into a goddess, a mere human into a divine being...And so, the lady of justice and truth, now reborn, descended from the gates and walked into the twilight of infinity...Her journey had come full circle, and she had emerged victorious...

ANNA VS JUNE - AMATEUR EXOTIC'S ABLUTIONS IN THE TWILIGHT OF INFINITY

I am always happy to bring new sounds to your ears [and mine!], and today I’ve got a mix showcasing some special selections from the upcoming boutique music festival named Q3Ambientfest, which will take place this year in June. Creating a perfect balance between some established and emerging artists of various genres and diverse origins, this event showcases a wide range and reach of the music scene. The festival [and this mix] is curated by Brueder Selke, East Berlin-born, Potsdam-based, multi-instrumental composers Sebastian and Daniel Selke, who are also known under their pseudonym CEEYS. “Each year, Brueder Selke invite like-minded friends and renowned artists to meet on a common, physical stage, and, with performances that range between academic avant-garde and accessible pop, develop a kind of cinematic music that holds a mirror up to and makes audible the eclectic architecture of the world-famous Filmstadt Potsdam, with its neoclassical palaces and socialist brutalism.” For this hour-long showcase, they have selected many pieces traversing the roster, including music by Jakob Lindhagen, Vargkvint, Mabe Fratti, Julia Reidy, Yair Elazar Glotman, their very own Brueder Selke project, and many more.

You can find more details on the festival here: https://www.bruederselke.com/happenings/kuration

Q3Ambientfest 2023

Brueder Selke - Q3Ambientfest 2023

German musician https://soundcloud.com/mary-yalex debuts on A Strangely Isolated Place depicting a storied transition from our recognizable surroundings, into a vision of the future. https://asip.me/asipv042

With releases and music styles across a variety of labels over the years, it has been Yalex’s more experimental ambient work that has stood out amongst her catalog, and in Fantasy Zone, we find Mary fine-tuning this sound to reflect the work of a true architect of storytelling, mood and atmosphere. 

Drawing influences from her day-to-day surroundings, Fantasy Zone begins with more vivid pieces; softer melodies and clearer instrumentation, represented as much in song titles such as Air, After Rain Comes Sun, and Half Light of Dawn. The second half of the album transitions into a future state, as Yalex draws on darker manifestations - perhaps intrinsically influenced by the state of the world, and in particular her love of nature, we play witness to more storied, haunting atmospheres, distant voices and slowly shifting gravitational chord movements. Dystopian-bound or pure fantasy, Yalex depicts a future that mirrors some of the more poignant, thought-provoking work of great synthesizer soundtracks of the past. 

Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri, and featuring artwork by Noah M / Keep Adding, Fantasy Zone will be available on Purple Smoke 12” and digital.

Mary Yalex / Fantasy Zone [Previews] (ASIPV042)

Second Mindscapes show aired today and I got the Mexico City based artist and selector Andreas as my first guest. He prepared a soothing blend of complex rhythmics with a deep and trippy approach. It truly fits perfectly into the second half of the show and I couldn’t be happier about it.

For the first 45min I wanted to showcase music from some fine Palestinian and Israeli artists and musicians in unity.

Mindscapes is a mellow morning show dedicated to exploring brain-tickling tones. Deep music for focusing, zoning out and starting your day on a peaceful and pensive mood.

Catch me for the next show with a special guest December 28th.
