モードの悲劇2024

2024 standouts

A binaural recording of three tracks from my first 4DSOUND performance - Woven Ancestry, Meadows and Gravity Well.

Woven Ancestry is from the Human LP out now, available from iTunes at www.smarturl.it/MCHuman and on vinyl and CD from bit.ly/FIELDSshop. 

The experience will only work if you listen with headphones, and in a quiet location. Closing your eyes helps. Relax and let yourself naturally build a mental picture of your surroundings based only on what you hear.

ABOUT 4D SOUND

The 4D Sound System was designed and developed in Amsterdam by Paul Oomen, Salvador Breed, Luc Van Weelden and Poul Holleman. It comprises 16 columns with omnidirectional speakers at several heights in each column, and the columns spaced around the room in a 12 x 12 x 4m array.

They have designed Max for Live devices which provide a range of spatial controls within Ableton Live, as well as an accompanying visual 3D model of the space and sounds within it. This allows for a spatial composition/production process, whereby each piece of music is designed as a physical entity to exist within the space, as something that can be walked around inside and explored by the listeners.

The system is called "4D Sound" because it produces sound in all 3 spatial dimensions, as well as being able to move sounds through the space in time - the 4th dimension.

PointBender - Monolith Rising

From the original feature on Clash Magazine: http://www.clashmusic.com/features/fluid-landscapes-exclusive-max-cooper-mix

It’s been a long time since I’ve made a full length “live” mix of just my own material, mainly because I was focused on my album in recent times. But after some new studio additions and work developing new ideas and new experiments, I’ve got enough fresh material to draw on, along with some old, to put together a new live set only composed of my originals, some remixes I’ve done, and I had to include a couple from the Inhuman remix package because there’s some great work on there from Lusine and Rodriguez Jr. among others.

I’ve approached this mix a little more like my live sets of old, keeping it pretty smooth and letting the tracks do the talking, rather than going too heavy on the genre-swapping and BPM-juggling as I have been doing on other mixes recently. There’s still some (hopefully) unexpected moments though of course, a strings solo, some crunchy glitch, backwards Nyatiti, several brand new never heard before tracks, a homemade desolation bootleg of Spastik, my first ever totally analogue tracks (I’ve only recently taken the plunge into the analogue synth world), and two live Jazz improvisation sessions recorded recently in London.

The artwork embedded is made by Andre Britz, who has literally created some "fluid landscapes" works, of which he was kind enough to donate a custom piece for this mix - Thanks Andre! You can find him here: https://www.behance.net/Andre

As a whole, the mix is about being wrapped up in a warm exploration of feelings and landscapes. It will work best with a nice pair of headphones and an open mind. I hope there’s at least some parts in there you enjoy!

Max Cooper Live - Fluid Landscapes - mix for Clash

Hyejin Live at Process 12.24.23 | VISLA FM

It’s been a while, but therefore we are gonna start the year with a big one… We are more than happy to welcome Oskar (@floorlengthskirts @fgleeds ) to our hallooo Mix Series. He delivers a 5h long mega mix, taking us on a journey through his favorite records and digs of the last year. From Ambient, Folk, Synth, Wave, Dub, Electro to House, this mix perfectly winds through all genres. Tune in for the big journey! 👗🖤⛓ 
.
↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH OSKAR ↓ ↓ ↓

– Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

I prepared poorly, as the original mix was lost in an irretrievable data breach and I had to re-record. I don't really plan out mixes that much, which I think is pretty easy to hear in some of the transitions between records and moods. The mix is essentially a stack of records I put together from my shelves, in a rough order, which I then recorded in my living room when my housemates weren't in. It sort of traces the past year, records I have found or at least listened to the most.

– Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

Too many to mention really, but 'I Love the Night' by Blue Öyster Cult is probably the record in here that I have had the longest so brings with it the most nostalgia. I reckon I probably got that single when I was 18 and freshly arrived in Leeds, in one of the charity shops opposite my student accommodation.

– How do you dig for new music, and/or what kind of things arouse your interest in a record/music? 

Bandcamp for new stuff, which is actually more my cup of tea these days. Bit of Discogs of course, but even that I have calmed down with a bit. I prefer emailing people and trading without the formality (and cost implications) of Discogs. Tip offs from friends are also always welcomed.
As for what interests me in a record, the cover is important as a signifier - but in terms of sound I don't really have a criteria for what I like or don't like, just a sense of good or bad. I also really like some bad stuff too, and regularly confuse myself with the distinction.

– Are there three records you would take with you on a deserted island?

This is an absolutely impossible question really, but definitely the new Tara Clerkin Trio because I know I can listen to it repeatedly without the enjoyment fading. Station M.X.J.Y. by Maximum Joy possibly or To Each... by A Certain Ratio. Stuff that would send me into madness more quickly? Also not sure if you'd want to even take music you enjoy to a deserted island?

– Music bonds people. Any djs/shops/etc.. you would like to shout out? 

Again too many to name really, DJ-wise particularly because I am surrounded by so many good ones. Queenie, a friend from Leeds who has a show on Narr Radio is my most consistent listen and has amazing taste. Ben Wrong too, if you know you know. The people I live with and my/their friends and loved ones are a pretty talented bunch of people musically and otherwise, but there are too many to namedrop properly so I'll namedrop none of them. Its been nice to meet online friends that have become offline friends, like Caldu and Alex, who both know their beef from their eggs. The Little Record Shop in Hornsey is no secret really, but is the shop I try to get to most regularly. The owner David goes against the record store manager stereotype, and the digging is always productive.

There are few artists quite like Shy, a Berlin-based, American-born producer publicly recognized under various monikers including Special Guest DJ, Caveman LSD, uon, and through his myriad collaborations. His own productions and mixes consistently defy expectations, adeptly capturing the essence of the moment while continuously pushing boundaries.

Meanwhile, Shy's contributions to other artists' releases echo this distinctive signature sound. Whether collaborative, enigmatic, or paradigm-breaking, his imprint on the realms of modern club and ambient music is undeniable.

In 2021, a notable shift occurred as Shy's latest venture, @triplexlarge (3XL), emerged in the wake of imprints like Experiences Ltd., bblisss, and xpq?, of which he was solely or partially involved in. Since its inception, 3XL has not only delivered straightforward releases from artists like Ulla, Ben Bondy, nueen, and Exael, but also rare collaborative endeavors featuring groups like xphresh, crimeboys, and the evolving band sofa. Unraveling the intricacies of who collaborated with who and discerning the level of care involved is only part of the experience. The music itself speaks for itself, maintaining an unparalleled level of quality and consistency that stands out in today's electronic music landscape.

Introduce yourself?

Hi there ~ I’m Jesse. I live in LA, run a label called Motion Ward, walk dogs, love food, make music with my friend John, DJ from time to time, and love my friends and family. Music is a way of developing emotional closeness with people for me :) 

Where did this gig take place?

This gig took place in Turin, which is in northern Italy right next to the Alps. The venue was a DIY space run by Misto Mame Collective and affiliates. About 9 people pay for the space to be able to operate monthly, and the feeling of community there is really strong and sweet. It was a highlight for me on this recent tour I did. Also really loved the people ❤️

What did you drink as you played?

I had one beer and water lol, and at the very end someone brought me a glass of red wine :) Was trying to minimize the amount I was drinking so I didn’t have to go pee, but eventually I had to loop a track and bolt to the bathroom :X (can you spot the moment?) 

Favorite moment in the mix?

Probably when it starts to escalate after the first few tracks ~ it reminds me of when the energy that night palpably shifted and felt like the dance floor was turning into an amoeba 🦠
