Sundays are for…

Many things. Often times for after parties, often times for no parties. Sundays can be the icing on the cake of a long weekend, and other times the trough before the massive wave called Monday that rolls over you. In either scenario there is a wealth of music awaiting your minds and ears to make your Sundays better. As with Delayed and our love of curation, we’d like to extend our programming and expertise into another realm, dedicated to that of downtempo, electronica, ambient and everything in between. The caveat? Only quality not quantity, and don’t hold us to genre.

This month’s show was recorded during a heavy snowfall by Grant Aaron—the founder and driving force behind Mysteries of the Deep. His knowledge of and dedication to ambient music is unrivaled, and having him on Bright Patterns has been a highly-anticipated event. His two hour set evokes unconscious dream states and brings warmth to winter’s peak.

Bright Patterns with Grant Aaron @ The Lot Radio 02 - 03 - 2022 - Vicki Siolos

"This set is dedicated to the late Harold Budd, whose minimalist and often melancholic compositions on piano will forever remain influential. I began and ended the set with a selection of favorites from his solo and collaborative works. 
 
Special thanks to IT for giving me space to thrive as a DJ at No Way Back, and to my creative partner – Candace Price, for creating quite the wondrous abyss through her incredible visual direction. <3 "

art:cast °134 | Farren Laen

NYC-based producer, DJ and label-head Farren Laen delivers the next installment of the art:cast series or a conglomeration of (own) productions paired with pieces that complement and enhance the set's tone and vibe. Hitting the dark dance spot the New Yorker builds up his set like typical old red brick buildings in the city: stone after stone resulting in a memory lane of the future. Just like in his own music Farren Laen comes up with a vibe that is short of becoming possessive luring one into its atmospheric vortex as the space-out sequences almost have a meditative touch, while latter is left behind shortly before dancers/ listeners drift away in their very own thought bubbles and Farren presses the "House kick-drum" to continue his cat-and-mouse game, a game he seemingly not only plays well but has perfected. Otherwise it's hard to explain how someone can come up with such a beauty of sound-waves within only 67 minutes.

The Observatory - Grant Aaron

This mix has been brewing in my head for a while now.. An inkling of it first started to pop up back in October while we were at our biannual Delayed gathering in the mountains of upstate New York. I played a set with a dear friend on the Sunday morning there - cozy & hopeful music from various corners of our collections that don't get played very often but are set aside for special moments. My favorite kind of music.. It was one of the most memorable sets I've played & brought up a ton of emotions & memories from past experiences hearing some of those songs. Memories from my wedding, memories of my brother, memories from times living in Los Angeles when Sundays were all about lounging around all day in the sunshine after nights of dancing into the early hours of the morning. We laughed, cried, danced, ate lunch, all over the course of the morning into the early afternoon. It laid the foundation for how I wanted to approach this mix for Zach.

Sundays for me have always been a day of healing - mentally, physically, emotionally. It's a day to seek inner peace & a day to be reminded of everything you have to be grateful for in spite of anything else. I recorded this mix on a rainy Saturday earlier this month, channeling all of those memories & feelings, with my dog by my feet while my wife & daughter wandered about the house, making beaded bracelets & doing various arts & crafts.

From me to you, a warm hug & the promise of spring.

My Sunday morning involves strong black coffee on an empty stomach, followed by one massive pancake to share. Both energizing and grounding. Ideally I try to set a different tone than other mornings; less of a grind, more human.
I tried to let this mix convey this feeling, and hopefully use it myself to be in the morning and not work so hard; The music is more emotionally layered and pulls me a bit more into different directions than what I'd listen to when starting work.

A return to New York after quality time spent with the family. These trips are a great mental break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Conna Haraway - Void

Quando Claudio mi ha chiesto di scrivere un'introduzione per il suo "Ambient Mix 2" la mia prima reazione è stata quella di farlo desistere da questa sua intenzione. Ho cercato di fargli capire che in fondo non ero la persona adatta a scrivere commenti su di un set da studio.
Però, alla fine, spiegandomi di cosa si trattava e quindi coinvolgendomi su un tema del quale abbiamo avuto modo di confrontarci, ho detto si.
La grande intuizione di Claudio è quella di scegliere lo spazio come luogo dove mettere in scena il suo viaggio: quale luogo migliore dell'infinito per gustarci la sua selezione musicale ispirata all'universo: quarantuno minuti di dischi in vinile originali, cerniti con saggia attenzione per ricordarci quanto spesso si è inseriti in una società senza radici, dove gli individui accettano passivamente il cambiamento per il semplice fatto che è tutto quello che conoscono.
Conoscere e amare quelle che sono le proprie origini, fino a smarrirsi in un'esplorazione impossibile per poi recuperare tutto: forse bisogna perdersi per ritrovarsi, ritrovarsi per perdersi.
Da qui nasce "Ambient Mix 2" di Claudio Fabrianesi: un podcast di cui vado davvero felice, e condividerlo con voi attraverso "Deep Consequences" è il regalo più bello che potessi farmi.

ENG

When claudio asked me to write the introduction for his "Ambient Mix 2", my first reaction was trying to talk him out of it. I tried to get him to realize that, I, in fact wasn't the right person to comment on a studio set.
But in the end, after he had explained to me what it was about and had had me taken in by the topic we talked about with a lot of passion, I said yes.
Claudio had a great intuition to make the space the place for his odyssey. And there's nowhere better than infinity to enjoy his musical selection: 41 minutes of original vinyl records, wisely chosen with the aim to make us remember just how much we are immersed in the society with no roots, where people passively accept the change for the mere reason it is the only thing they perceive.
Knowing and loving our very own origins, to the point of losing it in an impossible exploration then to get it all back; maybe it takes getting lost only to find your way, finding your way only to get lost. 
It is how "Ambient Mix 2" was born, a podcast that had made me very happy, and being able to share it with you through "Deep Consequences" is the greatest gift for me.

Mysteries of the Deep @ Dommune (220916)

Grant Aaron - Live at DOMMUNE (Tokyo)

Long-time resident of The Labyrinth (Japan, @mindgameslaby), Hiyoshi’s vivid, contemplative ambient mixes draw together musical elements from a diversity of sources, yet retain a rare purity of emotion and atmosphere.

With Patterns of Perception 33 Hiyoshi aims to capture the essence of his most affecting sets of the past year, including at Sound Garden, Labyrinth, and One party, while also paying respect to friends and artists who’ve mentored and supported him.

The result is a lucid, ethereal selection, a dance in the diffuse sunlight, on the surface of the lake, always hinting at the depths below.

UN #61 Grant Aaron

Joining us on our next podcast is Mysteries of the Deep founder Grant Aaron, who began the New York-based project in 2011 as a podcast and event series for ambient and experimental music, hosting the likes of Neel and Patrick Russell, before expanding it to a label in 2017. In true form Grant has provided us with a mostly-ambient mix, an hour which evolves patiently and profoundly over its course. Grant covers grand territory with his selections, dealing in sparse instrumentation, sweeping drones, and pared-down percussion, weaving these elements into a moving and cohesive whole. Dive in now, or save this one to accompany you on an upcoming journey. It’s worth the wait.

Campfire Stories 66 (Alchemical) by Grant Aaron (Mysteries of the Deep)

~ About The Story ~

Alchemical

An organism glows
in this dark, dark room.
The light finds the cracks
in the walls

and stretches its languid arms
to enclose us, to hold us
against its vital pulse.
Tethered to a vibration

both familiar and unknown,
we are sent towards
a portal before
we are spit back into day—

kept close
until the night is done.
The heartbeat of the creature
then dissipates like cloud,

is alchemically transformed,
shifts shapes
like the shadow of fire
then finds its way

into our chests.
We carry our secrets
within them like lead,
lead that wants to be turned

into gold. It’s only a matter
of time before our chests
are unlocked.
When we open

each other up,
what’s underneath
spills out, and it is then
that we remember the pulse

never left – it only
hid itself beneath
our wrists, our lungs.
By the end we’ve lost the map

and know there’s no way back:
the person we were before
succumbs to the person
we’ve become.

- Taylor Bratches

~ Chapters ~

This set was recorded live at Return to the Source: No Way Back @ Tangent Gallery Detroit, Outer Space Room -- Sunday May 26, 2019.

Campfire Stories 66 (Alchemical) by Grant Aaron (Mysteries of the Deep)

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

So here we are, number 28. All grown up, thinking we know everything and that the world is at our beck and call. Little do we know, that is exactly what we know - little. Consistently hungry for knowledge, we peruse through the audible world looking for spikes in our interest in every way or form. Sometimes knowledge finds us. In this case, it comes in a form of a single human by the name of Chris, or Chris SSG or Chris of the former musical oracle, MNML SSGS aka Minimal Sausages (r.i.p). And it shall be known from this moment forward as, Number 28. 

 
If you’re reading this then you probably have Chris to thank. He was a pivotal influence in my (and probably your) musical upbringing. For five solid years,Chris and PC (the other founding member) consistently flooded the world with incredible mixes and unbiased musical journalism through their blog. Most of the mixes are still very much alive and well to this day, in-fact they’re quite sort after. After the end of SSGS, Chris moved to Tokyo to continue to sooth the world in his own unique way, veering away from the traditional ideals of “dance” music and how it's perceived and listened to. 

 

This mix is a testament to that. Playing ambient music to a club full of people has always been a personal dream of mine (you don’t have to dance to enjoy yourself and at least there’s a chance that people will finally shut up on the dance floor). Strung together perfectly, the journey entails so many beautiful and subtle twists and turns that it perfectly fits every atmosphere. Just over two hours of pure bliss, I liken the mix to a session in an isolation tank, relaxing yet stimulating. Odd soundscapes laced with beautiful folk music all woven together with the cream of what we now know as “ambient music” (until we find a more appropriate term).

 
Chris will be doing his thing at the next ONO party (TIP! some very good friends doing some very good things/ link below). He’s joining some other great thinkers alike in bring forth of what will be an incredible night of music. 

His words >>>

The mistake is in thinking music is about music. Music is about people. The bonds we make, the experiences we share, the conversations we have: this is the meaning and substance of it. This podcast was made possible by Nadine in Germany, Josh and Gregory in Taiwan, Eileen in Singapore, Toss in Japan, Louis in Australia, and all the producers whose music I used. It was recorded at ‘Soft Landing’, the first ambient event hosted by The Council in Singapore in July 2019. The recording reflects that context and moment, but hopefully carries to wherever you are. This is the way I play ambient. Thank you for listening. Chris SSG

"The week prior to creating this set, I decorated my space and placed my mind inside the powerful and quite honestly life-changing memories I hold of No Way Back; the curiosity, the cavern-like environment, the audio experimentation and boundary crossing evoking responses that vary from wandering honestly and freely inside one's thoughts to the complete obliteration of said thoughts and letting the wisdom of the body perform its work on us.  My intention with this ambient set (all of my sets..) was to create currents, gradually, with just enough whispers and fragments to be subtle guides and invitations for you to imbue the sounds with your own meaning, to add your own messages and experience to the currents.  If there was ever any lesson to myself about how incomplete my work feels without this crucial element, it was the necessity this year to communicate from a distance, via video instead of a real-time space.  And how it felt most complete again when we gathered together virtually in the live stream, being curious, being supportive and present, sharing psychedelic gifs, chatting, laughing and crying!  So there it was - it happened, we connected and transcended the medium.  I will always hold this year's event dear to me for reminding us of what we still have.   Infinite gratitude towards Interdimensional Transmissions and The Bunker New York for being such enablers, to the dedication and brilliance of the artists (and the humbleness in their brilliance) and you!"
