deep summer journey @ espacio perpendicular

Alberto Iniesta - Aqui no hay playa @ Espacio Perpendicular

"A journey of deep listening, a soundscape that flows through shifting spaces. Layers of texture, silence, and drones blend seamlessly with hypnotic melodies or tranquil atmospheres. A balanced set where the beat occasionally reveals itself."

Doozer (@brokenl00p). With over 20 years of experience behind the turntables, this dedicated crate digger upholds the guiding motto of his personal project, BrokenLoop: "Musical ideas for those who swim against the tide." His sets traverse a range of genres, blurring the boundaries of dance music with hypnotic, deep rhythms. Currently, he contributes to three cutting-edge musical projects under the Perpendicular brand (@espacio-perpendicular).

HOCast #213 - Doozer

"Magic emanates from the Temple, guiding us through a sensory journey in constant motion. From deep, intriguing frequencies that stir the soul, to delicate, shimmering soundscapes reminiscent of Studio Ghibli's ethereal worlds. A masterpiece woven in waves - raw, immersive, and alive - urging you to feel, imagine, and connect."

d_o_ppelgaenger (@d_o_ppelgaenger) - aka David Ortolà - is a pianist, composer, producer, and educator. He is a partner in Estrato Aurora alongside Jaime Romero - aka Pajaro Dune (@pajaro_dune) - and co-founder of the newly launched Sediments label. The label’s inaugural release is also d_o_ppelgaenger’s debut solo album, Live at Perpendicular (2024): https://sedimentslab.bandcamp.com/.

His music and live performances explore the boundaries between acoustic and electronic soundscapes, weaving a narrative sound design that thrives on contrast and tension. Employing a wide range of aesthetics, often juxtaposed in a chiaroscuro of styles and ideas, d_o_ppelgaenger blends classical instrumentation, electronic synthesis, field recordings, and SuperCollider-based tools. His work traverses the liminal space between divergent musical languages, aiming to create immersive perceptual experiences that seek to bridge the gap between the familiar and the incomprehensible.

Marking the 50th installment of our Podcast Series is a contribution from our good friend, the London via Manchester DJ and producer Alex Parkin aka Einerlei 🧙🏼‍♂️

With his original music featured on labels including Norite, On Board Music, Control Freak or Sungate, he is a shapeshifting artist equally comfortable dishing out intricate techno bangers (as we’re sure he’d put it himself) as he is weaving emotive ambient-scapes into long form compositions to soothe the soul. Elements of contemporary UK sound and IDM are strongly present in Alex’ productions ~ with their clubbier iterations leaning towards the deeper realms of techno and his ambient sound permeating a sense of deep feels shrouded in mystery 🧘🏽✨

Einerlei delivers over an hour of soothing ambient and downtempo alive with air of mysticism and deep set intrinsic rhythm. Effortlessly floating effervescent clouds of drones are home to voices and utterances oozing seemingly from within their soft intangible depths, patiently holding space for rhythmical energy to grow and release…until the celestial calm reigns again towards the very end of this sonic journey ☁️

"Bestilled is the storm of maya,
By the magic wand of intuition deep.
The universe, a forgotten dream,
lurks subconsciously."

The Observatory - ABSIS (Live Ambient Set @ Human Club, 2025)

It's an honour to welcome the lovely Joan Gila to The Observatory <3

A passionate music lover and record collector for over half his life, Joan is the curator of HOC Radio and a really beautiful label known as red edge (highly recommended if you're not familiar! stunning releases by ABSIS and Bastien <3). Alongside Javi .apart and his friend Jordi, with whom he runs the Binomi project, he co-hosts MostRadio.

Some words by Joan about the mix:

"I always like to conceptualize my mixes. It helps me set boundaries and avoid falling into the endless musical rabbit hole - which, frankly, can be overwhelming. This particular mix took me time to find its definitive form. After my latest vinyl purchases over the past few months, as well as an exploration of CDs (a whole fascinating world in itself), I was finally able to define its premise.

The mix unfolds across four movements. Three of them are based on a deconstruction of a long-form minimalist drone composition, layering elements of field recordings, electroacoustics & musique concrète, or additional drones. Each movement explores textures, dialectics, and microtonalism respectively. In between, the remaining movement serves as a purely experimental interlude.

This time, I can’t provide a tracklist - I couldn’t even say exactly what I used or in what proportion. The selection flows together in a way that’s hard to pinpoint, with a mix of works and pieces that come together naturally. That said, I can share that it features a strong presence of musique concrète and electroacoustic works from the '70s and '80s, including artists like Jep Nuix, Olly Wilson, Hans Roosenschon, and Anne Ben Hammou, along with revered names in drone and minimalism like Éliane Radigue, Bernhard Günter, Sarah Davachi, or Toshiya Tsunoda. There are also more recent sonic experiments and compositions – names like Richard Chartier, Steve Roden, Pablo Diserens, Jana Winderen, ENA, or Lotus Eater - some of which we’ll have the chance to experience at Mostra. And of course, there are also tracks from friends - this time, Oisatsana, ABSIS, and Menhir."

The Observatory - Joan Gila

We are thrilled to start these new series at our studio in Paris with Adhémar offering a wonderful ambient live set.

Video recording : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbwICJEt66Y

"For Cenote I composed a live environment that is a synthesis of sound spaces I've travelled through and recorded over the last few years. Born of rhythm, my music is also made up of ethereal, sometimes generative, sound spaces. This recording, made up of three main chapters, flows finely, like the water we try to hold in our hands into a crystalline dialogue between the sounds of life and the melodies that flow from them. A delicate journey that I'm delighted to share with you.”
