This is a tribute mix to one of the most talented, kind, and lovely people I know. I have been a fan of Norm's work since I first became interested in "ambient" music, falling in love with the Pavilion LP the moment I heard it. His music has given me so much joy, solace, and inspiration ever since. 
His passing has left a giant hole inside me and for the past two days I haven't done much else other than listen to his music. This mix features some (but not all) of my favorite pieces by Norm.
I never had the pleasure to meet Norm in person, but it was an honor to work with him on several occasions at Muzan.
Norm, wherever you are - perhaps floating on some galactic current in a space-faring bathysphere - I miss you so much. Thank you for everything.

A Tribute To Panabrite / N Chambers / Jürgen Müller

This month’s Bright Patterns is a special tribute to Norm Chambers, who sadly passed away in November from a rare form of sinus cancer. Norm released a prolific amount of material under his own name and several other monikers over the years, such as Panabrite, Jürgen Müller, and Spiral Index. Following a two-hour tribute for 2021’s No Way Back comprised entirely of Norm’s music, this edition of Panabrite Patterns features four talented artists who connected deeply with the unique world imagined within his productions. William Selman presents a mix of selections they shared as favorites. Joshua Davison created six original tracks with Norm’s sonic pathways in mind. Matthew Patterson Curry crafted an extensive soundscape inspired by the simplicity and freedom of Norm’s rich output. The final portion is a hybrid mix from Jonas Reinhardt, who released the first edition of “The Encyclopedia of Civilizations” with Norm under his Jürgen Müller alias.

'One man's dream can hold dominion over the entire world, 
for one who dedicates his life to the forging of a single sword. 
While many can pursue their dreams in solitude, 
other dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. 
Dreams breathe life into men, 
and can cage them in suffering. 
Men live and die by their dreams, 
but long after they've been abandoned, 
they still smolder deep in men's hearts. 
Some see nothing more than life and death. 
They are dead! 
For they have no dreams'

This show was recorded live some weeks ago during the Onyro pre- Party with Forest on Stasys as guest. The first part of the show is driven by the talented Sciama who introduces us into obscure territories. After the Scottish artist, Camu takes over with his mix of ambient and contemporanean electronics. The closing part is fot the argentinian artist, Forest On Stasys, who delivers a wonderful classic ambient piece.

All sets were recorded live at Espacio Perpendicular.

Mysteries of the Deep CXLIX – SUNA

William Suran’s eponymous release is his second solo offering and the first with Love All Day. Suran (whose primary practice is as a visual artist) studied painting at the Kansas City Art Institute and now resides in Brooklyn where he makes extremely labor intensive and exquisitely rendered old-master level water color paintings of flowers, some of which have taken up to seven years to complete. Along with his painting materials, Suran keeps eight vintage tape echo machines and a guitar in his Brooklyn studio, which he initially spent time tinkering and improvising with as a way to decompress after long days of highly concentrated painting. What began as a sideline to his main work soon turned into a project in its own right, and for the past eight years he has been making ambient works nearly every day with a regular regiment of recording from nine pm to midnight. This edition focuses on work created from 2011-12, when Suran first began to photograph and paint thousands of images of his beloved peonies. The music parallels this work, as daisy-chained tape machines cycle endlessly, altering phrases with each presentation so that new forms become distinct over time. While Suran has said his work and approach to music is most influenced by Steve Reich, we also hear traces of baroque and early music in these recordings, as the guitar almost seems to be alchemically transfigured into a reed organ, a cello or a woodwind instrument, at times evoking nothing less than the tone color and otherworldliness of Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber’s wondrous Mystery Sonatas.

William Suran - S/T (Excerpt)

Raindrops, like her tears are falling 
she’s a gentle spirit calling to the children of the Earth
Dolphins, in the waves are playing.  Can you hear what they are saying? 
They hold the wisdom of the sea
       Far away, how were they to know how far they would have to go? 
       These messengers, gentle teachers of the deep
to awaken a sleeping humanity from a dark and restless sleep

Angel, beamed to earth upon a golden ray
How long did she stay? Not very long
Heaven’s bird, flew down and landed with a broken wing
We hear the message that she brings, itʻs in her song
       Far away, how was she to know how far she would have to go? 
       Maybe together we can find a way 
to make a pearl of the sand so we can understand the purpose in the pain 

Golden ones, reflections of the far off central sun 
how long has been this journey weʻve been traveling?
Rainbow hues, refracted through the prism of the One 
to illuminate this mystery unraveling
       Far away, how were we to know how far we would have to go? 
       To join again, here together in this way
to celebrate each other and the dawning of the day

Family, we circle round in love and joy and trust
The living presence of our unity is growing 
Compassionate, we spin our dreams anew up from the dust
The garden of this Earth is what weʻre sowing
       Far away, how were we to know how far we would have to go? 
       To live to make this cosmic dream come true
to see a world of happy children in a Garden Earth made new

Far Away

Love All Day is pleased to present Facets, our third collaboration with renowned contemporary electronic composer, Norm Chambers (Panabrite, Jürgen Müller). As the title implies, it’s a many-dimensional work, and one born from a time of
crisis in Chambers’ life. Created in the spring of 2019 while experiencing health issues that were ultimately diagnosed as being a rare form of sinus cancer, Facets reveals Chambers efforts to push himself to places he hadn’t gone before ----to try to rid himself of old habits & embrace potentially unsuccessful creative attempts, whatever the result. Faced with a sense of urgency & riding a creative wave, the tracks came together quickly as he explored new creative vistas ---his familiar, bucolic landscapes now occasionally interrupted by craggy rhythms and aural horizons that fluctuate like air on desert sand. Concerned that these works would be his final statement, he quickly released them digitally as he awaited surgery & chemotherapy to treat his illness. After his near brush with death & subsequent recovery, we’re extremely grateful to have the opportunity to re-present this singular work by one of our favorite artists with deliberate intention and care as a long playing album.

"This mix is reflective of where my head is at lately... foggy, blurry fragments of contemporary sound, combined with some 90's electronic pieces that sound oddly contemporary (or were just very ahead of their time), and also some vintage drones and rhythms culminating in a dense but hypnotic journey, punctuated by occasional field recordings and other found sound excursions."
