Viva + Abuaf Mix

Delighted to host @houschyar Oddity Influence Mix for @macadam-mambo

Houschyar : As you asked me to create a mix that exemplifies my influences, I dived into stuff which has accompanied me since quite a long time. Obviously I usually put the music that inspires me
in my mixes, but here I tried to pick a wide variety of artists and pieces that have influenced me and my work a lot in recent years while trying not to play anything I have played before in radio shows.

The mix contains some of the grandparents of the music I appreciate, such as Alice Coltrane, Robert Wyatt, Ahmad Jamal, Aydın Esen, Peter Michael Hamel, as well as some more contemporary artists and friends which have been a inspiration to me such as Şevket Akıncı, Alper Maral, Piotr Kurek and Sunfear. Finally everything is glued together by a series of field recordings I collected in Mexico in the past months.

Turn on, tune in and don't drop out!

Macadam Mambo - Oddity Influence Mix by Houschyar

“Should we retreat into some silent place and work it all out by ourselves? - they asked.” “No, the voice said. You should stay here and continue doing what you are doing and work it out the difficult way. The easy way will save your souls only; the difficult way will save yours soul and a few others.” And so they continue to do what they do, together, Carrosse, Abuaf and U-R-S.  Yes… slowly moving ahead…

Have I been to Amara? Like anyone who has, I’ve no way of knowing for sure. 

I am told she is wrapped in a blue-grey fog that extends like an aura for miles in all directions. As certain kinds of fog have a way of doing, it only makes itself known to you when you are already well within its grasp. At best, the traveller may remember entering and exiting the hazy periphery of this city, but whatever comes to pass within is impossible to recall, and one can only recognize signs in the traces it leaves behind in the mind and body. This may be as subtle as a change in the way you speak, as disquieting as an unaccountable bruise or scrape on the skin, or as drastic as a sudden change in the length of your hair. 

Recently, lovers have told me that my way in bed has somehow changed, that the color of my eyes has grown cooler and softer. Flavors that I once detested are now among my most cherished. Certain objects or images — a marble figurine, a drop of blood hanging from a small cut on my finger, a glass bowl shot through with broken sunlight — have stirred up in me the faintest and most curious ecstasy. It is as though, by some association conjured in these moments, I behold not a memory in itself but the effects it has on everything around it, the lines of sentiment that ripple across the waters of my mind from the invisible impression of an unknown stone.

A city will change you, slowly in time, in ways you may not notice as they set in. But what if the city that changes you is not so much a place as a strange and beautiful void, one that quietly haunts the heart, and from which no memory can escape?
