The Weight Of Gold

The names in this one should say it all - Wonderful, unique, experimental, avant-garde Electronica from the wonders of Defled, Nicholas D, Norwell in this follow-up Watching The Sky - The Remixes EP from Synteck!

Defled shows how wonderfully mysterious and leftfield he can be with his fantastic remix of Walking On Clouds... Just a great mesh of rich sounds.

Then,
Nicholas D provides a very organic & emotionally indulging Live Reinterpretation of Trees To The Sky...  Can really see the trees waving to the music in the sky..

Last but not least, we witness the quality of Hungarian producer Norwell with his very tight & smooth remix of Shimmer!  Norwell has recently worked with the likes of Applescal & Groj in his recent releases so we're proud to welcome him to the Mind Field roster!

Thanks to Pere Reus (reuspere.tumblr.com) for the Artwork, Zeitgeist Mastering (www.zeitgeistmastering.com) for the Mastering & of course Synteck for the beautiful music...

Enjoy MFIELD022!

The Messages

8 April 2020
Agatha Gothe-Snape

These devices are the narrow gate through which your metabolism passes.1 They are also the doorways through which the world outside now travels through to you. The door is one of the most basic of all cultural techniques, being a switch that constitutes inside and outside spaces.2 The door gives humans the ability to both separate and to connect, to divide or conjoin what is inside and what is out, what is personal territory and what belongs to the wider world. As limina or thresholds, doors not only demarcate and delimit, but also allow the joining of different spaces.3

As we close physical doorways in acts of solidarity, love and collective care, I have left this virtual door ajar4 in the hope that something may still pass through. So that something of another realm may flow into our concrete material world. Or verso, that a concrete world, no longer physically accessible, is animated in that most private and electric of places—the imagination.

If you choose, consider putting on headphones, closing your eyes as you allow this exhibition to accumulate via the linked audio file. The longer and slower you listen, the more uncertainty you listen with, the more this world will bloom.

MUMA ONLINE: AGATHA GOTHE-SNAPE

Re-imagining of the Aricebo Message sent into space, reading each pixel as a sounds.  These recordings were created using a Max/MSP patch and the internal Mac voice-to-speech voices.

The resulting text files that were read by the computer are available for download.  They include a “phonetic” header for the computer to read.
