To begin with I would like to thank you for coming to listen to what I have presented you today. Staying true to my motto of creating experimental electronic music that results from unscripted jam sessions, here comes my latest upload which features plenty of quirky sounds and curious samples.

As always, the Boss RC-300 loop station is the MIDI clock master to which I sync my humble Eurporack. As an inspiration for the whole session, I played back the Youtube video "Minimal Glitch - Modular Improv" by Modular Cult (@user-451526715), just to start things going, and then I added my sounds on top of his experiment and also modulated his original soundscape in order to put my spin on the whole affair. To spice things up, I decided to employ yet another Youtube video, "Saraz Handpan F Harmonic Minor 9" by Saraz Handpan. Since I love the intricate but calming timbre of handpans, I employed sounds of this lovely handpan playing F Harmonic Minor, that I put through the Mutable Instruments Clouds which was heavily modulated, again, to put my spin on it.

As you might have read in one of my previous write-ups, I love to include speech samples, especially by narrators who talk about music, which may or may not fit the session's narrative. This time, I settled on a lecture by Karlheinz Stockhausen, who is considered to be influential but also somewhat controversial composer, and one of the pioneers of electronic music. His explanations of changing musical moments really matched my approach, since I love to change up the flow of my jam sessions to keep things interesting. Additionally, to emphasize the transition from one particular segment of this track to another I used a famous Monty Python catchphrase.

During the course of this particular session I heavily relied on a combination of several modules, most prominently the Turing Machine with its expander Pulses, the LxD, the A-147, and the Radio Music. This setting ended up creating some glitchy rhythms, which very much reminded me of the track "Vertical Invader" by Frank Bretschneider & Taylor Deupree (@frankbretschneiderofficial, @taylordeupree). I decided so sample this track directly onto the loop station and after adjusting the tempo to my session's original tempo of 112 BPM, I was able to quite successfully incorporate this amazing minimalist track into my musical flow. 

Interestingly enough, the harmony of Vertical Invader went really well together with the sound snippets that came from the Radio Music module at this stage of the jam session. Also, the conglomeration of all these sounds matched the E Phrygian scale that I have been toying with for the last couple of weeks on my guitar and my synths. Since I am not much of a player, I decided to play back a couple of related Youtube videos and see if anything comes up that really fits the whole narrative. Indeed, in her Klezmer lessons, Robin Seletsky usually plays in E Freygish (which basically corresponds to the E Phrygian Dominant scale) and her clarinet's timbre tied the whole picture together. However, I mostly wasn't able to play back her videos in a rhythmically meaningful way, so I put many of the samples in post production.

Most of my tracks can be downloaded for free, and I encourage you to use them in your jam sessions and live sets. If you use any of my material, I really would like to know what you could come up with. So drop me a message and please give a shout-out to Mrs. Audio Boy!

Electroacoustic Moments [Jam session sections: RAW2021 - 8]

Exploring Israel

03. 123XYZ - Right On Time

Materia Prima was commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra and was premiered on March 16, 2023 by Daniela Candillari and the American Composers Orchestra at Carnegie Hall.

Materia Prima draws inspiration from the mythological motif of the cosmic ocean. This motif, which can be found in the creation stories of a strikingly wide variety of cultures and religions, describes a cosmic ocean of primordial, often chaotic waters from which the universe was created. The title, Materia Prima (Latin for prime, or original matter) refers to the substance viewed as the material cause of the universe.

There are two musical elements that form my piece, sustained sounds and brief impulses. The impulses act as drops of water in a still, vast sea, creating waves of activity that disrupt the stability of the sustained material. The harmonic structure of the piece is built upon a similar opposition, one between the harmonic series of a low B-flat and the open strings of the string instruments, particularly the open A – the note from which the entire piece emerges. The piece unfolds through gradual processes of transformation as it attempts to reconcile these opposing materials. At its core, Materia Prima strives to find serene spaces in a turbulent and chaotic world.

BRIEF INFO
Liquid Sun is a project which explores the world of music, through Goa & Psychedelic Trance, but also experiments with Downtempo & Freestyle tunes. Major influences are Psychedelic & Goa Trance of the '90s and 00's, but also Ambient & Downtempo, Acid & Techno, Ethnic & World, 60's Psychedelic Rock, 70's Progressive; Space & Hard Rock, Jazz-Rock, Fusion & Acid Jazz. 

BIOGRAPHY
My real name is Kyriakos Christoforou, also known as DJ Sunborn. I was born in Athens, Greece on the 17 of December 1965. Entered in the world of music at the age of 14, when I bought my first guitar. In 1982 made my first band playing rock music and in the next 7 years i join several other local bands.

After my "rock" days, i took a 4 year break and started traveling around the world. Arriving in Goa for the first time on February 1993, I was influenced by the new psychedelic revolution. 3 years later, while spending my time as a traveler DJ mainly to India, Thailand, Switzerland and Greece, i felt that the time was right to start making music again, but this time in the electronic genre. So, “Liquid Sun” project was born in March 1996 and it is constantly active ever since. 

From 1996 to 1999, i was busy traveling and DJing for months every year and could not fully focus on producing music. My equipment was also "poor": a cheap 8-track sequencer and a Yamaha DX-11 synth, later complemented by a Nord Lead synth and a Yamaha drum module. However, my best inspirations and musical ideas comes from that period!

From 1999 onward, with updated equipment and by using a computer for the first time, i went on to develop my musical project more seriously. In 2003 played my music at the after party of Samothraki Dance Festival and a few months later my first track, "The Other Side of Morning" was released by Pagoda Records (January 2004). Between 2004 and 2007 i was a member of Harmonia Records, then for few years i focused on other things, while still making music for my own joy.

Around 2011 I joined Neurotrance Records for a while, where i released my track "Hollow Man" (May 2011). The next year, i self-released on Nimbit Music the Mp3 album “Aurora”, which compiles various tracks produced from 2003 until 2010.

Between February 2012 and May 2015, i was co-manager and art director of Space Alchemy Lab, together with Oberon (Founder). On this label i released the EP "Middle Earth" (March 2012) and the mini-album "Surrealistic Collage" (December 2014).

By the beginning of 2020 i joined the Unreleased Goa Records label where my new work, “Interdimensional Phenomena” released on March. 

I consider my music as warm, mysterious, exploratory and psychedelic and i usually do not like to follow the typical formalities of each era, but rather, to always follow my own way!
