Observatory 044 - Sungate [with CYRK & Bill Converse]

The 30th instalment of our Podcast Series comes from our dear friend TSUNIMAN ~ the London-based, Swiss-born DJ and part of Sisu and Co-select collectives both advocating balanced representation and skills and knowledge sharing within the local electronic music scene 🌙

A regular at London’s Klub Verboten and frequenting queer parties all over town, Iman has chiselled a reputation for their energetic trance-leaning sets. Yet once outside of the club, their focus effortlessly shifts towards the calmer and deeper waters of progressive ambient and downtempo 💆🏽

This sub 100bpm journey opens with tranquil ambiances and celestial vocalisations, meandering towards the undulating orbits of synthy, arpeggiated vortices and dronescapes, occasionally pierced with spoken word and at the same time grounded and elevated by percussive rhythms 🔮

Podcast Series 30 | TSUNIMAN

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? ✨

This session is designed to elevate you and open your mind to infinity. With proper 4-4 breathing it becomes easy to silence the mind and go beyond it's perceived limitations. Opening the crown chakra is a great way to meditate and liberate yourself from the physical world. It makes you feel blissful and stress-free inside where you can explore the depths of your own consciousness.

This Binaural + Isochronic Session is a powerful relaxation and grounding entrainment. It will relax you deeply, bring you down to earth, and revitalize your energy - important for people who's jobs involve a lot of thinking. It also contains solfeggio frequency 396hz for "Liberating Guilt and Fear". It is in the Low-Alpha 8hz range which is linked to the root chakra, along with 396hz and 99hz. The Isochronics are set to 285hz which associates with "Quantum Re-membering" and the Earth Star. So enjoy this free session! :D

Headphones will have greatest effect, but are not required.

Instructions: 

1) Sit in a chair with your back upright, feet planted on the ground, put on your headphones.

2) Focus all your attention on the sounds as they will bring you into the Alpha brainwave state for peace and relaxation, feel your body from the inside out.

3) Breath deeply all the way down to the base of your spine, and try to keep your attention in that area, you may visualize a red glowing orb there if you'd like.

I wish you a wonderful journey and please subscribe if you enjoyed the video.

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

2 Hour Shamanic Tibetan Meditation  Calming Music, Sooting Music, Deep Meditation Music ☯181

Mедитация на чакры

Можно включить спокойную музыку. Сядьте удобно. Закройте глаза. Обратите внимание на то, чтобы спина была прямой, а макушка находилась на одной линии с копчиком. Затем послушайте свое дыхание... Дышите свободно и спокойно, без напряжения... Отрегулируйте свое дыхание в этот режим и дышите осознанно. Затем прислушайтесь к тому, как бьется Ваше сердце. Сосредоточьтесь на его пульсации. Мысленным взором пройдитесь по Вашему телу... Постепенно расслабляйтесь... Когда вы достаточно расслаблены, положите левую руку в основание позвоночника так, чтобы между ладонью и тело было небольшое пространство. Найдите такое расстояние, на котором Вы будете ощущать взаимодействие ладони и тела (это условие нужно соблюдать и далее). Это область первой чакры. Почувствуйте качество энергии... Обратите внимание - какого цвета сейчас ваша первая чакра... Постарайтесь привести этот цвет к красному. Представьте, что из вашего позвоночника в землю вырастают корни... Связывают Вас с Землей...

Перенесите ладонь левой руки в область нижней части живота... Это область второй чакры... Почувствуйте качество энергии... Обратите внимание - какого цвета сейчас ваша вторая чакра... Постарайтесь привести этот цвет к оранжевому.

Перенесите ладонь левой руки в область солнечного сплетения... Это область третьей чакры... Почувствуйте качество энергии... Обратите внимание - какого цвета сейчас ваша вторая чакра... Постарайтесь привести этот цвет к желтому.

Перенесите ладонь левой руки в область грудины... Это область четвертой чакры, сердечной... Почувствуйте качество энергии... Обратите внимание - какого цвета сейчас ваша четвертая чакра... Постарайтесь привести этот цвет к зеленому.

Перенесите ладонь левой руки в область основания горла... Это область пятой чакры... Почувствуйте качество энергии... Обратите внимание - какого цвета сейчас ваша пятая чакра... Постарайтесь привести этот цвет к голубому.

Перенесите ладонь левой руки в область лба, между глаз... Это область шастой чакры... Почувствуйте качество энергии... Обратите внимание - какого цвета сейчас ваша шестая чакра... Постарайтесь привести этот цвет к синему.

Перенесите ладонь левой руки в область над макушкой... Это область седьмой чакры... Почувствуйте качество энергии... Обратите внимание - какого цвета сейчас ваша седьмая чакра... Постарайтесь привести этот цвет к фиолетовому. Почувствуйте, как световой столб из вашей седьмой чакры устремляется в Космос...

Теперь опустите руку... Посмотрите в свое внутреннее пространство и обратите внимание, как изменилось Ваше состояние... Побудьте с этим некоторое время... Глубоко вздохните и скажите: Я люблю жизнь и жизнь любит меня.

Улыбнитесь себе и делайте то, к чему призывает Ваш внутренний голос!

The birds here were recorded in Port Townsend, WA.  I also added the singing bowl and binaural beats later.  Binaural beats are a way of synchronizing your brain waves (which are measured in hertz) with the hertz of the binaural beat.  The brain has a frequency following response which causes this to occur.  This works best with headphones and is useful for meditation or relaxation.  In this case I created three binaural beats. Each section is 10 minutes long and the beginnings are marked with the hits of the singing bowl. The tone is C 256 hz. 

Here is an article from Wikipedia about Brainwave Entrainment:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwave_entrainment

The brainwave states (Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta) are listed on this page (scroll down to the table)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroencephalography

here's a basic rundown of the brains states:

Beta - 30hz-13hz - your normal awake state, in higher ranges or above 30hz you may be experiencing stress.  In this case, you gotta chill!

Alpha - 13z-8hz - a relaxed and reflective state

Theta - 8hz-4hz - a very meditative state or getting drowsy and drifting off, if your sleepy)

Delta - 4hz and below - deep sleep or a very deep meditative state. Buddhist Monk's brainwaves have been measured in this state during meditation.

In the unlikely event that you experience any unusual physical or mental discomfort, immediately discontinue use.
