dub16

Dreamy little noodle experimenting with Campestria Versio firmware which is a community-made port of Valley's Plateau reverb for the Noise Engineering Versio platform.

Made with Intellijel Cascadia, Intellijel Sealegs, Mutable Instruments Plaits, Rings, Marbles, and Stages, ALM Squid Salmple, and sequencing from Squarp Hapax.

Modular sessions — Hypnagog

First exploration with a pair of Oct Tone modules from Glasgow Synth Guild paired with the Cycle Instruments Tetrachords.

Modular sessions — Oct Tone

Another noodle as I explore the textures made by sending ALM Cizzle into Mutable Instruments Beads, underpinned by Intellijel Cascadia.

Modular sessions — Aurora

An ambient exploration using sending Rings into Arbhar's recording buffers, modulating between the layers, and sending parts through Mimeophon, on its way through Electus Versio and Sovage Engineering Teinte.

Modular sessions — Infinity Gate

First time I've played the flute in over 15 years…. A bit rusty, but enjoying recording and overdubbing loops into the Instruo Arbhar's buffers to add texture.

MadahSounds present, Lost Transmissions From An Aquarius Mind by @marekbartunek

“Lost Transitions from An Aquarius Mind” is an intimate exploration of fractured connections, misplaced intentions, and the echoes of what could have been. Each track reflects a moment of clarity amidst chaos—a chronicle of lost contacts, burned bridges, and misunderstood emotions.

The album captures the vulnerability of an Aquarius navigating the dichotomy between deep introspection and the distance often felt with others. From the haunting stillness of “The Silence Seems to Be Loud” to the bittersweet reflections of “Heartbreaks and Red Wine,” every soundscape tells a story of longing, regret, and growth.

It’s a testament to the fragments we carry with us and the stories we create to piece them back together. This is not just music—it reflects the mind’s relentless pursuit of understanding and closure.

DJ Thandok - Self Realization (Original Mix) [YHV RECORDS]

Eighteen sessions in, and somehow, todos still manages to unearth mixes that astound. 

Kilchurn Session XVIII arrives as a continuation of a conversation we’ve been having for over a decade, threading forgotten film cues, elusive ambient B-sides, and left-behind downtempo sketches into a two-hour séance.   

If you’ve followed the Kilchurn Sessions from the beginning, or todos’ end of year ASIP label mixes, you’ll know they’re less about progression and more about excavation: digging through his deeply considered music memory, looping time in on itself, through careful and unexpected edits, seamless blends, and the most considered mix sequencing possible.  - A Strangely Isolated Place

Kilchurn Session XVlll

When I was a kid, my mom was militant about me practicing piano. Sometimes she would insist I practice up to 4 hours per day. Of course, I was defiant. I put my Calvin & Hobbes comics behind my sheet music one page a time. "it built character," in the words of Calvin's father.

And yet, those 10 years of classical piano—even if I did practice, while reading comics simultaneously—made me a better musician. Heck, maybe I'm just extremely gifted and I'm absolutely a better DJ for the exposure.

I was invited to be an add-on for a party my friends were throwing for their friends. This old piano had been on their property for months. Try as they did to sell it, a new home could not be found. So now it belongs to all of us. It was quite cathartic to be standing on the keys, stomping up and down, moving some of my stuck resentment.

I set up my Opus Quad outside—I love this thing and I have a lot more to say about that—and played on not two but one speaker. As someone who is anal about my gear and a fidelity snob, I was a bit disappointed but we made it work. I find that performing in circumstances that tie a hand behind one's back draws out creativity, focus, and efficiency. Like, playing a stereo signal to a single speaker sounds a lot better than mono so just that little adjustment gave us a bit more of a vibe.

I was recently really inspired by Tummetott Mystic Creatures Festival 2024 set. Here, I play some of my most recent finds that I absolutely love. I mix creatively and actively.

Back to the Opus Quad: this set would not have been possible without it. Or, to put it another way, if I were to try and perform this on, say, an RX3 or even CDJs, I would have had to prepare and practice a lot more. I may have been able to do it on the FLX4 + laptop but the ergonomics are just so much better on the Quad. The Quad allows me to browse my music by ear, which allows me to navigate my library really efficiently and it puts me in flow.

I want to create some YouTube content on Quad and some of the other gear I really enjoy using and why. Let me know in the comments if this kind of thing would be interesting to you and what questions you might have.

Flight (KRM031)

From ancient times, human being appeals to all sorts of rituals empowered with redemption.
The symbolic value of our beliefs guides us through the whole evolutional process.
Even if we need to construct and apply a theory of acrimony, a structured good and evil paradigm, we always assume the achievement of an innocuous future.
The universe is established on multitude perceptions of individual reality which is, de facto, an illusion.
... an illusion that ensures our metaphysical protection.
