ambient set@Knock Space_20201020

We start the year with a new scene. 

For the first fragment of the year, I want to share with you an immersive journey by Formant Value.

Living in London with Italian origins, Lorenzo’s music offers a wide range of sounds. Today’s profound experience is an invitation into an authentic and richly textured world.

‘’ Even if nature plays an important role in my creativity, also a different environment can be inspiring. London inspires me but in a different way, pushing me out of my comfort zone, experimenting with new genres and sounds. When I do music, I have the need to tell something, but it’s an unconscious process.  Other times it’s just from a rational process, coming from working and experimenting with new things. ‘’

We hope you'll enjoy the ride by @formant-value.

fragment21A: Formant Value

A man who needs little introduction in pure record loving circles, Norio Sato is the force behind Rare Groove record store in Osaka. Norio's dedication to music of almost all genres is deep and methodically insightful, his mixes have been inspiring references to us at Sound Metaphors for a while now, so to be able to share this one is a proper delicacy for us. 

In his words: "This time, I made a mix of my friend's tracks from Japan (Boogie, house and Nu disco ... etc) and a little bit of 90's and 2000's Japanese obscure breakbeats tracks.
I hope you like it."

On top of that, his generosity has gone as far as offering us a detailed track list and short description for each track with links to find the record...proper record store owner academic approach to sharing music - big thanks to Norio for this one <3 <3 <3

Sound Metaphors Mix Series 10 : Norio Sato

Conscious Listening' is a podcast series by Pregnant Void record label that explores soundscapes born from the connection between deep ethereal music and the most advanced electronic musical experiments. 

This month's Podcast chapter comes from Roman Ćinske, cultural event creator based in Berlin and creative director of Aerial Palettes. The title of the mix is called 'Dawn Reveries' and the concept circles around finding the beauty in the repetition of morning rituals. It's an immersive depth and understated allure performance of patterns that occur so often they become automated enough to hold the listener rapt in a state of daydreamed reality.

Conscious Listening Mix Series - 11 - Roman Ćinske

For this month’s chapter of our Podcast Series, we are incredibly proud to welcome Fhionbarra. Barry is a London-based DJ who has been turning heads with his commendably curated and finely executed sets across the city’s experimental ambient & dance music undergrowth and beyond ✨

A real tour-de-force of concept-driven DJing, this is a live recording of Fhionbarra’s mesmerising set from a recent Hardcore Chillout event where the loose concept of the evening was based on ‘Apparent Motion’ – that is, the perceptual illusion in cinema where still frames of film, viewed in quick succession, give the appearance of motion 🎞️

The mix is an interpretation of this concept with the first section taking a scene-setting, atmospheric tone alongside some narrative elements. This is followed by a middle section where time appears stretched or distorted – a reference to the space in between frames where our senses play tricks on us. The final section (or ‘third act’) returns to more overtly narrative territory, finishing with a cinematic flourish 📽️
