Just a selection of mixes and podcast that has captivated me lately, listening every morning, in a conscious exercise of musical research.

Morning listening exercises. Selection 2021

With Adhémar's cross-continental musical journey we're glad to show you the live set number eleven of Melantónia. The multi-disciplinary artist establishes his universe through music and visual works, constantly in search of the luminous quality of sounds, in a world made of shadows and light, his music is closely linked to his plastic work.
This obsession with shadows leads him to think and create spaces, atmospheres that focus on the lightness and poetry of light. The idea of "narrative potential of music", allows us to confront the psychological and philosophical journey with a particular relationship on what is alive and what surrounds us (whether it is the material, immaterial world, the fact that everything is constantly becoming). With a particular rigour for transitions, whether in his own production or in his DJset, his universe is built little by little, with the passing of sound transformations and the light and poetic transportation of it all.

Stellar Series Episode 59 - Francesco Piunti (Awaiting The Light)

“This is one of poetry terms, that means a pause used for effect within a line of poetry”- Masaya says. In music, a caesura denotes a brief silent pause. But, how long is the silence? As such the silence is as short or long as the conductor deems necessary.

Lots of beautiful brief silent pauses among outstanding instrumental melodic pieces, subtle and classy percussions, the crack and hiss of inviting noisy sounds, delicate rough textures, gentle ambient drones, charming voices,…managing to create a situation of tension-relaxation very intriguing and fascinating. 

Masaya Kato is a Japanese composer and sound artist based in Yokohama. Influenced much by poetry, video or performing arts and based on perception and cutaneous senses in daily life. Typically his compositions are born out of Fender Rhodes or Piano sketches along with additional sounds of magnetic noises.

We definitely like the idea of a caesura  between music narratives, a space which listeners can fill in with their own speculative history.

Melantónia Live 013 with summer vibes for longer and warmer days by our friend Gaiden, a Dj/Producer who lives in Tuscany.

Here, he grew up as artist over the years promoting e sustaining the LGBTQ  techno scene in his city, Florence, where in 2015 he became resident Dj at the well-known party Tropical Animals.
This role enabled him to play with lots of artists such as Vladimir Ivkovic, Massimiliano Pagliara, Avalon Emerson, Bambonou, Aurora Halal, ADIEL, Dj Red, Whitesquare, Volvox, Inga Mauer, Borrowed, Identiry, Dj Boring, Pangaea and many others; feeding and refining his great passion for djing that he has been carrying on since he was a child.
In 2018, he obtained a Master Degree in Sound Engineering in Rome thanks to which he will be followed by Enrico Cosimi, one of the leading Italian figures regarding synth. This opportunity permanently affected his vision of music, projecting him in the world of productions and developing his passion for musical synthesis. He also deepened his knowledge of that field of sound design which finds inspiration in futuristic Movies and PC games from 80s and 90s.

Mysteries of the Deep CXXVIII - Multicast Dynamics

~ Deep Breakfast 118 by https://soundcloud.com/doctrinanatura ~

"I was inspired by that moment of confusion in which it is not known if you are asleep or awake, where hypnagogic hallucinations sometimes take place and where everything can be possible..."

Given below is a short poem by Alex that accompanies the music.

You look around lethargic, confused
dust in suspension dance diffused
everything is dark without stars
you feel under some kind of charm
dust turns to steam
and in the distance you feel a gleam
and you ask yourself...is this a dream?

Tracklist:
01. Simon Scott - The Wave Organ

The term Lāsya, in the context of Hindu mythology, describes the dance performed by Goddess Parvati as it expresses love, care, happiness and is filled with grace and beauty. The Lāsya was the second phase of creation, in response to Shiva's Tandava dance that gave birth to the Universe. It combined to form the triad, "laya", "pralaya" & “shunya” - the cyclic motion of things from resonance to dissolution, from stillness to movement, from sound to silence, and such represents the dialectical "being-nonbeing-becoming". In a literal sense, Lāsya means softer, it is the divine feminine nature in all of us which manifests as beauty, happiness, enchanting, and grace.
We may be silenced by law, but our nature is movement. ~ We are joining together on this dance, 11 by number, for a 13h of exclusive live stream takeover on 9128.live.

The art of listening is largely the art of understanding, the art of respecting and the art of giving in. Knowing how to listen is putting yourself in the place of others, being tolerant and flexible. We can understand the reasons of the others and we can see reality from another perspective. Having the ability to listen allows us to perceive the implicit message that is being communicated to us.

Nico Rosenberg is a producer and sound artist from Santiago (Chile) who stands out for his hopeful and melancholic sound. His work is a constant investigation of chance and random processes in the use of cassette recorders, synthesizers and acoustic instruments. Nico is currently studying Sound Arts in Berlin. About his mix, Nico adds: “More than a concept, it is an emotion”.
