Paradox: Something that seems absurd, contradictory, or unreal, but is actually true. 

I believe in miracles, light in the darkness, the Savior, life after death...

I hope you enjoy this simple one <3

Paradox

Upset Hexadecimal

experimental improvised hip-hop-ish beats. all mpc1000. a quick sketch. piano + NES/C64/acoustic percussion.

i originally intended to do a much more elaborate composition on the mpc1000 involving multiple piano + synth + FX layers. i ran into some weird workflow glitches that necessitated time-consuming workarounds, and then had some upload issues. the arrangement was therefore rather rushed at the last minute. the percussion, at least, was closer to what i had originally intended to record.

Ambient Nights Vol. 1

Galaxy Merger

Sometime in 2016, I came upon the California-based electronic musician, releasing his organic, evolving and highly textural synthesized compositions as r beny. I followed and watched many of his YouTube videos, where he showcased his modular skiff and various digital synthesizers (I particularly enjoyed watching the Novation Peak ambient showcase, which inspired me to purchase that synth). Throughout the years, I've been enchanted (as I'm sure some of you also have) with his particular aesthetic in creating warm, lush, and melancholic pads that stretch out their fingers and brush the worry away. When, in 2018, he got noticed by Dauw imprint, I reached out to premiere a track from his Saudade album. Since then, Austin Cairns' creations have continued to sell out - you can still buy digital copies of eistla (2018), echo's verse (2019), and natural fiction (2020) via his Bandcamp. By now, he has established a solid following, so it isn't easy to be useful with my words on HC. I can also say the same about the UK-based quiet details imprint, which has amassed a gathering of my all-time favourite ambient artists and relentlessly releases an amazing album every single month. This is almost a community now of all like-minded musicians sharing the label's aesthetic in creating pieces as an interpretation of the platform's name. I cannot keep up and cover every single album on there, so you might as well follow along on your own, and I promise that you won't be disappointed [for example, I failed to give my buddy James Murray proper coverage of his latest album, Weeds, thinking that, yeah, okay, you must already know that it's amazing]. Today, I'm dipping my toe back into the myriad of sonic seas and atmospheres with a track premiere from Cairns' upcoming album, discerned in the fugue of streams, because I think that it is very special.

Nick Angeloni is a composer, audio engineer, pianist and synthesist who releases work under the name n-So.

One of the hallmarks of Nick's fantastic 2018 album 'A Stroke of Blue' is its careful balance of felted piano and electronics — it's an album that's full of accessible moments that twist in just the right way. Depending on the listener, the album's x-factor could be the unexpected textures, or it could be a chord that perfectly roots an ambient soundscape.

Speaking with Nick, I was reminded how tense the balance is between will + self-care. Nick is an incredibly talented and driven artist, and it was staggering to hear him talk openly about the challenges he faced while trying to finish this work. And to confirm that coming out of the valley isn't a momentous break of clarity — it's small moments of grace, of the universe wanting to heal what's hurting. I am grateful for Nick's honesty, artistry, and perseverance.

Episode 20 was lovingly assembled and edited by Matt Lowery (@mattlowerymusic). I'm so grateful for his willingness to give his energy and expertise toward this project and toward the lines community. sound and process is an exploration of lines, so, come join the conversation at https://llllllll.co
