2 Sundays ago, I began texting friends this:
“If u have a moment + if it inspires u, I’m putting together a collage of field recordings that friends are sending to upload as a place + space of sonic respite. 🖤 just a voice memo recording of ambience or instruments or anything 😊.”

It was a prompt inspired by this feeling to draw sound maps adjacent to our own mind maps connecting friends, peers + family. The need for new maps is growing for me + possibly everyone. Connecting interdependencies through sounds, moments, + people.

My hope, while u listen, is that this sound map points u to places + spaces that have helped me out w keeping my mind curious, traveling + connected. These are the local places (in NYC) I cherish + love. While u listen to New Maps, visit these local businesses + support them via their digital stores:

Commend (https://www.instagram.com/commendnyc/) is a space that is owned + operated by the label that releases my music, RVNG Intl. It’s near + dear to my heart! it's such a deep + unique space.

Record City (https://www.instagram.com/recordcitybk/?hl=en) Ian + Selam have a generous spirit in sharing knowledge + it's always the right price + sweet smiles.

2 Bridges (https://www.instagram.com/2bridgesmusicarts/?hl=en) consistently brings in music + books from the far reaches of the known universe.

Deep Cuts (https://www.instagram.com/deepcutsrecordstore/) Always helping + giving so much. This store has been crucial for my survival.

Newer 2 me:

Playground Coffee ( https://www.instagram.com/playgroundcoffeeshop/?hl=en)A beautiful coffee shop + their annex always has a bright + energetic presence w books, DJ's + more.  

Mixtape ( https://www.instagram.com/the_mixtape_club/ ) Always up on the new + good coffee too.

Record Shop in Redhook (https://www.instagram.com/360recordshop/?hl=en)Best human's, best sounds + best hugs.

Milmundos bookstore (https://www.instagram.com/milmundosnyc/?hl=en)My friend Joe Ahearn ( https://withfriends.co ) told me about them. Looking at their site + seeing the books + their mission in working w their surrounding community in Bushwick focusing on + uplifting Black, Latinx, + Indigenous voices is inspiring + a dream!

Brin - Soft Gaiden

This week, @maxsalty delivers an hour of sumptuous sounds from 1955–1978 to give your private longings the Italian cinematic backdrop they deserve. True to its title, this mix is a fusion of light and darkness, pairing smoky twilight jazz with bright ballads of love and anguish from classic Italian pop divas. A mix to be savored fireside on a cold evening, with Chianti and a bleeding heart.

Luīze details an enveloping, introspective, and emotive soundscape that documents field recording trips to Florence, alongside birdsong imitations, and the undulating harmonic complexities of sacred chorus and ancient folklore. 

At points, this mix feels totally beyond music, while at the same time retaining all the intricacies of feeling that only music can articulate. Deep trïp nrg. 

''...in that new life we shall rest, we shall rest to the songs of the angels in a firmament arrayed in jewels and we'll look down and we'll see evil, all the evil in the world and all our sufferings bathed in a perfect mercy and our lives grown sweet as a caress.''
