Son of Chi returns to Astral Industries, alongside Spanish artist Clara Brea, for the collaborative release of AI-29. A product of fate, chance experiments, but most of all, sensitive artistry - ’The Wetland Remixes’ exists as a confluence of two kindred musical spirits, a wayfaring epic that draws together a rich archive of ecological field recordings, live instrumentation and higher inspirations. 

Ahead of Hanyo’s concert at ‘Avalovara listening club’ (Madrid) at the end of 2019, the curators (Diskoan & Josephine’ Soundscapes) organised a special dinner and arranged the meeting of Clara and Hanyo. As Hanyo recalls, “It was like stereochemistry. There was an instant match and understanding, and basically we decided in a split second to exchange recordings and to collaborate on future live and studio experiments.”  

The auspicious meeting of the two ignited a remote exchange of materials and ideas, as the world descended into a series of pandemic-related lockdowns. The first of said recordings included the stems of Clara’s ‘Wetland Project’ - a site-specific audiovisual project originally produced for Eufonic Festival (Spain), using field recordings from the Ebro Delta nature reserve (one of the most threatened regions of climate change on the Iberian peninsula). 

From this initial impetus, Hanyo began working on the first sketches of the album back in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Just like their meeting in Madrid, the project developed naturally and spontaneously with extraordinary ease. Later, Hanyo started adding field recordings from the Magic Cave and Wetlands of the ‘Kallikatsou’ (Patmos, Greece) as well as organic and acoustic overdubs, featuring bass, drums, percussion, guitars, oud, piano, hammond organ, wurlitzer, flutes, bells, and mouth harp. 

In the distance, the sound of birds peak through the effervescent wash of the wetland soundscapes. The pass of running water flows deeper into a land full of secrets never told. On the strike of dusk, the silhouettes of shapely trunks and foliage melt slowly into the impenetrable darkness. As darkness passes, light emerges, with exquisite moments of tranquility that seemingly emerge from nothingness.  

Beneath the shimmering veneer of textures, wildlife and melodies, one may hear the deeper references of ’The Wetland Remixes’. With credit to Clara’s input, for Hanyo the album process became a kind of refuge, and ultimately inspired the return to the core of Abstract Sound - what the Sufis call “Saut-i Sarmad.” Such references allude to the spiritual quality embedded in the music - the autonomous process of self-expression, the great mystery. Hanyo: “An ambience like this cannot be created by routine. There is no blueprint. The music has to find you. It’s like a blessing if it happens. You should not interfere, just observe and be impressed...” 

Deep, luscious mind trips as per the classic Chi sound, ‘The Wetland Remixes’ beautifully correlates the interconnecting dots of geography, ecology, and mythology’s forgotten lore.

Phonons Podcast 086 A.Silentio

"The sun begins to set. That autumn light sketches itself behind an idyllic landscape. Mountains rocks where there is snow in winter. A unique balcony. Surrounded by lush black pine and damp green grass, that unmistakable smell of nature. And in the background the beat, that beat that the context has transformed into something organic. And you, there in paradise on Earth."

Influenced by ambient electronics and chromaticism, Guillam (@guillam) pursues depth through the exploration of sound and composition. Soothing soundscapes, unfolding rhythms and organic textures are elements present in his music and dj sets. He is one of the curators on board along with Refracted (@refracted-music) in Paral·lel festival (@parallelfestival).  This is a live recording DJset during the Midline night curated by ABSIS (@absismusic) in Laut (@laut_barcelona) on February 9th.

Sensoria #1 Halos

Minù Jr - October
Qabam EP [MCR02 / Monochrome Records]

Produced by Antoine Faure aka Minù Jr
Mastered by by Vincent Villuis at Ultimae Studios
Design & Illustration by Marco Maldarella
Released by Monochrome Records from Lyon, France
Release Date : January 31st. 2024
Format - CD and Digital

Minù Jr emerges as a multi-faceted project, in perpetual evolution, always looking for new influences.
His musical oeuvre stands apart with an hypnotic universe that adeptly techno pulsations with daring experiments, giving rise to an immersive ambiance during his performances.
Last year, following the release of two techno-oriented EPs, Minù Jr joined the roster of the Lyon collective/label Monochrome. This collaboration materialized through the unveiling of a composition entitled "Orcynia," where he tries out 170 pbm. The result was conclusive, the composition was valued by peers and has been played by various artists.
Currently, he persists in creating music towards a synthetic drum'n'bass, tinged with dub nuances, and delivers his latest EP, "Qabam."

Artist's words : "Qabam is a an ode to moments shared with family – fleeting instances that constitute precious times of our lives. In this safe space, only the desires of experiencing life collectively and make the most of the moment persist. It is the authenticity of these moments that inspired my composition. All the tracks have a particular aesthetic and artistic consistency inspired by people that surround me.
In a nutshell , these four musical pieces stand as a reverential tribute to the individuals surrounding me and the shared moments that define our collective existence."

Reflexions Podcast 38 - Clarence Rise

One, two, three...
Rhythmistic pulse.
Rhythmistic pulse.
Rhythmistic pulse.
Rhythmistic pulse.
Rhythmistic people...
Feel within a flow of a beat,
With a rhythm pulsed.
With a rhythm pulsed.

Rhythmistic people...
Find it easy patting their feet,
With a rhythm pulsed.
With a rhythm pulsed.
And...
Harmonizing with a life that's reached,
For the sounds of nature.
With a rhythm pulsed.

A new episode of Selene Series lands just after our dance under the full moon spell at La Nature festival in Belgium. But we still found some time to pay tribute to a new moon cycle despite the packed lineup and excellent atmosphere to bring you a new mix. 

For our 47th ceremony, we slowed down our pace and picked some slower jams, deep and psych-y, staying close to the 100bpm mark but still teasing your hips to give us some moves. 

Welcome back to Selene Series, see you when the moon is full...
