'His mixture of lush electronics and his huge smile complements the music scenes of dance music crusaders as well as spirits in search for mellow moods. Invited to festivals and nightlife like Draaimolen, Together Boston, STRP Festival and the former club Trouw, Will has a predilection for spots that are open-minded for new sounds and thoughts. Will has always been respected for his unique and alternative take on music and this is probably what makes him one of the most enduring artists around.' - Will Oirson

Drift Radio @ Open Source Radio w/ Will Oirson

"0-12 Antarctica, air, flightless birds sliding and mating. 12-18 fluctuations in the atmosphere of a Tibetan village, carriages and bells. 18-29 submerged in the Atlantic Ocean, listening to the sound of currents and whales. 29-36 walk through the middle of Changbai forest, rivers and a calm feeling. 36-69 wormhole, 5th dimension, space travel, loss of sense of time. 69-75 coming home after a journey through morphing territories"

Morphing Territories' (@morphingterritories) music explores the delicate balance between power and emotion. Its timeless approach to techno is based on the hypnotic, unpredictable atmospheres of modular synthesis and field recording. Inspired by the nature of his native Switzerland, as well as the music of pioneers like Mike Parker, Morphing Territories is on a boundless quest to perfect the beat. Through tireless improvisation and introverted self-discovery, his finely-sculpted sound constructs push the boundaries of both complexity and simplicity. As an extension of his musical vision, Morphing Territories’ self-titled label presents a full range of psychedelic dancefloor experiences. His own releases there, as well as for labels like KCZ (@benkaczor) and Oslated (@oslated), channel spontaneity and even chaos into purist, deeply-affecting techno trips. The vibe he creates in the studio is developed further by his journeying DJ or live sets, as well as by his mix series Sense (@esnes). Altogether, the distinct avenues create a complete sound world, where the relentless beat of a drum, the trails of driving rhythms and the warmth of soaring pads combine into a potent formula.

HOCast #75 - Morphing Territories

An opportunity to glimpse into the home-listening playbook of an artist is always an intriguing premise for a podcast. It is a chance to build depth and create context for the music that is produced by the artist, as well as what is generally chosen to penetrate the club walls.
 
For Inchmix074, Belgian artist @emily_jeanne has compiled an eclectic selection of tracks, meticulously crafted to slowly unfold over 100 minutes.

For the first quarter of the mix, the ears are welcomed with crunchy, broken sound design paired with the metallic pinball of IDM compositions. The mix progresses into downtempo percussive numbers before breaking into a proper gallop with DnB, 170 & Grey-Area Techno. Putting on the breaks, Emily works her way back to the obscure corners of contemporary ambient and post-club music before bringing the mix to a gentle conclusion; a mix which continues to surprise after successive listens.

We are very proud and excited to share this special episode of our Podcast Series recorded live by Christian Duka at the lovely SONIC GARDEN gathering that happened at one of London’s most inspiring experimental music venues IKLECTIK last month 🌿

Christian is the founder of immersive art and 3D sound non-profit organisation Amoenus, a sound artist and a long-standing friend of Introspective Electronics. He previously delivered collaborative mixes for our Podcast Series as part of MARMO and Vādin and we are over the moon to finally have him release a solo journey.

In this chapter, Christian merges his signature flavour of psychedelic ambient with atmospheric dub, downtempo and heady leftfield experiments. This journey feels like a night wild with dreams. It’s droney interstellar initiation inconspicuously metamorphosing into sensual dub intertwined with deeply hypnotic wormhole loops and warm, tribal-infused rhythm sections stretching across wide spatial expanses. There is nothing left to do but listen with all your might for those moments of magic that are packed tightly across this sonic canvas ✨🔮✨

Podcast Series 16 | Christian Duka

Christian Duka serves us a chill soundtrack of visceral soothing moments for Soothers #05.

"My loved one always says (borrowing from Rick & Morty): “you can’t learn anything until you learn how to chill” - and she’s damn right. Chilling is something I am pretty bad at though. You know, living in London and being slightly enslaved by my passions… but still, there is one place I am able to chill: the space in-between spectral voices, dub-infused grooves and weird & wonderful textures of the likes featured in this cocktail of, personally, very emotional tracks. As I listen, the oomphs and throbs flying out of subwoofers transport me right where stress lives - inside my own body. There, whispering words of comfort to my stiff muscles, I finally take a moment to take care of myself. 

I hope this mix will serve as a soundtrack for many other visceral soothing moments like this - a warm bath, incense and candles are highly recommended :)”

In anticipation of the upcoming third edition of SONIC GARDEN ~ an all-day ambient, downtempo and experimental electronic music event taking place in the lush Old Paradise Yard of London’s IKLECTIK ~ we are thrilled to share a live recording of the enigmatic opening b2b set from the last edition 🐝

Courtesy of Avsluta and Christian Duka ~ the two minds behind SONIC GARDEN ~ it is a perfect mood-setter for the upcoming adventure with Primal Code (Hypnus & Kalahari Oyster Cult) and Luca (E2-E8) happening on Sunday, 26th June 💫

More info and tickets: https://amoenus.co.uk/sonicgarden 🌿

This nearly three hours journey is a slowly blossoming mystical affair of gently oozing ambient textures with scattered spoken word leading into dub-infused downtempo and various flavours of progressive electronica. Best listened to in its full length, this a perfect accompaniment to your psychedelic adventures 🍄

Podcast Series 24 | Avsluta b2b Christian Duka (Live at SONIC GARDEN)

@dvka

Christian Duka is an electronic musician, sound artist & designer, immersive audio specialist and higher education lecturer. His musical outputs span the experimental and left-field electronic dance music both in his solo work and ongoing collaborative projects Vādin (with Avsluta) and MARMO (with Marco Maldarella). 

Christian's passion for immersive sound was sparked by a month-long residency at MONOM 4D Sound in Berlin and blossomed into his multi-disciplinary project UR: Human Presence — an artistic experience involving 3D sound, contemporary dance and performance art. Amazed by the creative potential of spatial audio, in 2019 he founded AMOENUS, an immersive art organisation that supports the development of immersive audio in the arts via R&Ds, events and workshops, most recently on their own custom made 16.4 sound system currently installed at The Bath House in London.

Human Lessons #082 - Christian Duka

A long time coming, this new chapter in our Podcast Series comes from our dear friend and one of our favourite live artists, dan nicholls. We’d have a hard time counting exactly how many times we’ve seen them concoct their colourful sonic potions, effortlessly merging multi-layered depth with soft playfulness, oscillating between meditative horizontal sounds, spoken word and field recordings and high energy bass infected half & double time dance workouts. To witness an artist in pursuit of their genuine expression succeed in building a world of their own while being versatile and open is a beautiful thing to behold and we feel so lucky to be able to share this little peek into Dan’s workshop, in the form a live set recording from Brussels’ Brasserie Atlas ✨

dan nicholls is a producer and multi-instrumentalist exploring sounds at the crossroads of ambient, electronica, jazz and free improvisation. Over the years, Dan has moved on from a career in jazz, via electronic music, to a heartfelt embrace of rave culture and the feminist and queer theories which are all strongly present in the current iteration of their solo projects and collaborations. With a powerful grasp on world building with, through and beyond sound, they co-curate the London-based Free Movements - a multi-sensory event series hosting genre fluid experimental music performances crossing both acoustic and electronic realms 🔮

In the true spirit of their highly collaborative workflow ~ always in the process of making with and through people and other-than-human critters, culture & politics ~ this improvised recording features voices of tyroneisaacstewart, Lauren Kinsella, Juju Love, Moor Mother, Gillie Nicholls, Janet Blake and Palestinian activist whose words contribute in different ways to amplifying of marginalised ideas. And it seems that for every word, there is a sound to match, a little something that carries its weight, gives it a warm embrace and lets it slip in our ears with tenderness and gravity to be remembered through feeling. There’s only one way to know and that’s to press play and listen 🐚

Kosmic Skaut graces us with a truly stunning mix recorded with tender loving care for the 52nd chapter of our Podcast Series. The Prague via Brno based artist has been a kindred musical soul and a friend for a long time and we’re so happy to finally welcome him to our cozy lil family circle 🤍

Mikuláš aka Kosmic Skaut goes slow and steady behind the decks, interlocking psychedelic, acid-tinged and hypnotic sounds in his DJ sets spanning multitudes of ambient and dance music genres. For Mikuláš, music is all about collectivity and togetherness ~ a takeout from his early years as a boy scout. He materialises this spirit in projects including organising festival Michalský Výpad in Olomouc, co-running the notorious ÉTER collective in Brno and regurlarly putting on his Kosmic Care events at Ankali’s Planeta Za which he always ~ as an aspiring chef and baker ~ supplies with tasty homemade snacks. Once you try his pizzenka (the cute way to say pizza in Czech) and this delicious mix, there’s no coming back 🍕

In this chapter of our Podcast Series, we plunge head first into the deep end of ambient psychedelia as we take off on this phenomenal voyage through Kosmic Skaut’s wild and wonderful imagination. As we move through the mix, so it moves with us, allowing for softness to emerge in waves of amorphous drones melting into one another, layered with textures, field recordings and electro-acoustic instrumentation in the build up to the rhythmical crescendo that sees it conlcude 🌬️

We are so happy to kick our Podcast Series back into gear with a long anticipated recording from the UK-based duo Plantera called 'Cosmozoa' ~ based on theories of intergalactic spores transferring life to other planets 🌱

I met Lewis and Mason last year at the intimate Sonic Rites gathering, nestled in the wilds of the beautiful Welsh countryside. Smitten by their soothing afternoon set, I knew I needed to approach them and ask if they’d be keen to record a mix for the series ~ and they said yes 💍

So here it is, a magical musical offering born out of synergy between two close friends sharing deep understanding of and passion for music that touches the soul and soothes the mind. And what better time to dial
in this hour and a half journey than after the long weekend of Bank holiday frolics. Sit back, close your eyes and let it take you on a comic ride through soft edged ambient and downtempo psychedelia 💫

The guys also shared a little message for us too to accompany the mix: “Join us on this journey of cosmozoa; ejected into the ether from unknown coordinates, floating aimlessly through primordial dust until being grasped into the orbit of Plantera - gliding through the atmospheric haze before breaking out into blissful serenity, absorbing the sights and sounds of this unfamiliar world while sailing on it's winds"

We could not imagine a more fitting Podcast Series contribution to soundtrack the peak of our of summer than this lush dubby mix recorded by the New York via Chicago DJ & productress Eden Aurelius 🦋

Back in April last year, the inaugural record on the Glaswegian label co:clear lands in the crates at Phonica Records and it steals the show. It was the debut release by Eden Aurelius titled ‘Plateau’ with it’s soft-edged downtempo take on dub techno dancing through clouds of ambient textures and perfectly embodying that netherworld in between ambient and dance music that is the beating heart of Introspective Electronics. Over a year later, we are so grateful and proud to have Eden feature on our Podcast Series with this stunning hour-long recording 💕

Nothing else to do now but to plunge into the dubwise depths of this magick mix where tender energy ebbs and flows in the spaces between not-quite-ambient and not-quite dance. It’s in the liminal space of the soft cracks in between. Aren’t you curious to hear? ✨

Feeling incredibly proud to share this new chapter in our Podcast Series, a profound and powerful mix from the dearest Lou Drago, an artist and human we deeply admire 🤍

Lou is the host of one of our favourite ambient shows @transience-archive which airs monthly on Berlin’s Cashmere Radio to provide listener with a much needed relief from anxiety and together with marum they host sonic-seances under the name @infinity-rug 🫧

Lou believes in the transformative potential of sound and the importance of deep listening. Whether that is listening to each other, our needs or to the sounds around us. In their sets they often explore the sonic landscapes of the in-between, where the listeners perspective dictates the experience, yet holds them in a warm embrace to invite a deep dialogue with the listening body-mind.

✨ In Lou's words ✨

like many of us, my heart has been red with grief-rage witnessing the ever-escalating genocide in Gaza. this mix starts with an invocation for the liberation of the Palestinian people, a struggle that omits none of us if we wish to be truly free. 

the slowly evolving sound journey takes us through several realms and phases of introspection, ghosts of the past lingering in melodies they never heard. sonic energies condensing and expanding, offering spaciousness for contemplation and being with whatever arises.

meandering through earthly realms, through the riparian zone, swamps, and forests we meet with mournful spirits in her gut, casting our attention on the multiplicities of loss we are facing. yet in the shade there are angels, who remind us that we have been doing this for many, many lifetimes. ‘keep on’ they seem to whisper. 

eventually we arrive to the sunset inside, where the Grand River’s winds meet the horizon, guiding our gaze upward toward the night sky where the mysteries of the celestial bodies radiate, Lyra’s visions casting an empowerment spell for all those who listen. 

may we each grow ever surer of our paths, finding creative and yet unimaginable ways to continue our collective struggle for the liberation of all sentient entities, until we are all free.

love, 

lou drago

It is undeniable that we are living in uncertain times. For those of us failing to fit the patriarchal, neoliberalist mould we have lost hope in the future. We can see capitalism is not working but we cannot yet envisage an alternative. We discover that the stability we were instructed to obtain whether it be financial, political or ecological, is fleeting, if at all. The resulting anxiety is an instrument of neoliberalism that prevents many of us from being able to raise consciousness of the structural injustices that alienate us.

In a world where security is no longer feasible, the only constant we can rely on is change. Barad teaches us that the world is a dynamic process of intra-activity and materialisation, an ongoing ebb and flow of agency. The Buddhist Law of Impermanence proves that nothing in this world is eternal.

Regardless of ones point of reference we can understand that every aspect of life, physical and mental is in flux and perhaps this transience is the only thing we can depend on.

Each month we invite an artist to ruminate on these ideas and create an hour of relief from these anxieties. A temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate modes of existence that reject hetero- patriarchal systems of oppression.

This month we have invited @oloruna to respond to this concept.

transience #24 with Olorun

Recorded live @ healthy summer 2019.

H εξωτερικότητα μιας αινιγματικής αναζήτησης, 
η ανάγκη κατανόησης του βαθύ βυθού, η περιέργεια.
Τα τεχνητά μέσα / υποβρύχιες τεχνολογίες 
vessels , δοχεία απο ατσάλι
που κουβαλούν γεμάτους ελπίδες εξερευνητές.
Ψυχές γεμάτες λαχτάρα.
Προβολείς , μετρητές πίεσης, 
ραντάρ και πάλσαρ μηχανήματα.
το 1987 δυτικά του Ατλαντικού Ωκεανού, 
Απρίλη στο μήνα στις 4.32 π.μ τοπική ώρα, 
ενα γιγάντιο καλαμάρι, σε μια στιγμή αδυναμίας, 
αγκαλιάζει με τα πλωκάμια του, αρπάζει ενα σοβιετικό στρατιωτικό υποβρύχιο, παρασέρνοντας το ( εν αγνοία του ) στην σκοτεινή φωλιά του , 
πιστεύοντας οτι βρήκε το πολυπόθητο θηλυκό ταίρι, 
ωθόντας σε ενα αργο αγωνιώδη και μυστήριο θάνατο , σε εναν υγρο ταφο
τα 27 μελη του πληρωματος.
Λίγο πιο πέρα σε μια γκροτέσκα πολύχρωμη υδρόβια χωματερή, 
ανάμεσα σε φύκια που ανεμίζουν ανεπαίσθητα εναν εκστατικό χορό,
ανάμεσα σε πρωτόγονα παράξενα μοναχικά ψάρια καταδικασμένα στο απόλυτο σκοτάδι, τυφλά.
Επικοινωνόντας με κεραέες και βόμβους
γράφοντας αχανείς υπόγειες διαδρομές,
στέκουν οι προσδοκίες σα διαλημένος απο ενέδρα στρατός,
ολα τα μπουκάλια που βυθίστηκαν άδοξα, 
ανημπορα να μεταφερουν :
μηνύματα γλυκά
κραυγές αγωνίας
ευχές- σκέψες- λαχτάρες
ανάγκη επικοινωνίας με εναν τυχαίο άγνωστο παραλήπτη
χαμένοι έρωτες
καλυμένοι με πλαγκτόν / σφηνωμένοι σε αιώνια βράχια
υδρόβιοι πολιτισμοί
κειμενο : φρακτης γιάννης

What Would An Ocean Be Without A Monster

Simulador de Captura

Music for Whales, an ambient radio transmission.
Chapter 13: Adam Wiltzie & Brian Mcbride, Also know as Stars of the Lid. A musical poem made of the tittles of some of their best productions, literaly written and mixed following the same order as they appeared. Nothing else to say... Whales would not understand us.

"Supposed essay on the piano
our last moment in the song,
and by the steep hills of tears,
the slow descent has begun

Our atoms like sun drugs,
the articulated Silences,
and the evil that never arrived,
were the better angels of our nation.

Transforming  the country;
Guilt of Uncomplicated Thoughts.
A Gathering to Lead Me When You're Gone,
 into the Stringer to Light Feed Frenzy,
a fifth  Made Of Phantoms.

When I see the scissors I can't help but think of you,
i know that you dont like the future like i do
I will surround you...
Be small with me.

That finger on your temple is the barrel of my ray gun,
An Melodrames telegraphies,
chronicle of early failures…
It's this love song".

It is undeniable that we are living in uncertain times. For those of us failing - or refusing - to fit the patriarchal, neoliberalist mould we have lost hope in the future. We can see capitalism is not working but we cannot yet envisage an alternative. We discover that the stability we were instructed to obtain whether it be financial, political or ecological, is fleeting, if at all. The resulting anxiety is an instrument of neoliberalism that prevents many of us from being able to raise consciousness of the structural injustices that alienate us.

In a world where security is no longer feasible, the only constant we can rely on is change. Barad teaches us that the world is a dynamic process of intra-activity and materialisation, an ongoing ebb and flow of agency. The Buddhist Law of Impermanence proves that nothing in this world is eternal. Regardless of ones point of reference we can understand that every aspect of life, physical and mental is in flux and perhaps this transience is the only thing we can depend on.

Each month we invite an artist to ruminate on these ideas and create an hour of relief from these anxieties. A temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate modes of existence that reject hetero- patriarchal systems of oppression.

This month we have invited @syberkid to respond to this concept.

We are over the moon to welcome the enigmatic MARMO to our still little yet ever-expanding Introspective Electronics family. MARMO is a deeply emotive improvisatory collaboration between London-based sound artist and curator Christian Duka and Bologna-based visual artist and producer Marco Maldarella who is also the wizard behind Introspective Electronic's sumptuous visual identity ✨🔮✨

This chapter was improvised and recorded exclusively for Introspective Electronics and features only unreleased original material. We are so grateful that Christian and Marco have shared this incredible new work with us. It is a cruise through lush ambiances, rich textures, hypnotic rhythms and melancholic harmonies inhabiting someplace between waking life and dreams. An acute sense of tactile intimacy and deep introspection emerges as the air particles vibrate with an abundant spectrum of emotions. Swells and plateaux of sounds move like breath entwined in the fragile existence of life itself.
