Tyler Stratman provides the eclectic compass for our seventh podcast, a trip into the universe of the Sound Metaphors aesthetic.

Based in Bellingham, where the mountains meet the sea between Seattle & Vancouver, Tyler Stratman has been a visionary influence on the development of minimal & associated variegated sounds locally, and further afield through his network of artists associated with the Sound Metaphors collective and radio show. Keenly experimental, Tyler balances studio time with the behind-the-scenes hardwork required of a growing global community, connected through aural affinities.

Tyler's podcast for Rhizome speaks to the expansive yet personal nature of his artistic ethos with an exhilarating range of atmospheres and creativity interwoven throughout the mix. Find yourself in the sound...

12/05/21 - The Moskalus Show on Threads Radio /w Azo

The flagship's command console was filled with a myriad of controls, buttons and sensors. It was time to get out of the cyberdemon lair. The incomprehensible digital ratios seemed a strange rebus, even for experienced intergalactic wanderers. The stormtrooper squad was already on the way, so all the modulations were done intuitively.

Suddenly, Cat felt something irresistible, not limited by the laws of physics. A surge of energy forced his body to move to the rhythm of the sound-pumping speakers. "Mechatronics!" said Spacelunch with a grin. He had guessed the existence of such engineering solutions. At the right moment, the once-tamed element helped launch the plasma engines. It was enough to rely on hearing.

Slope Point continues to expand its list of artists with the arrival of Anddie and his EP titled Journey To The Inner Self, which will contain 4 tracks, including a remix by Irony. Talking to Myself is the opening track, where the percussion sinuously takes us into a landscape full of echoes and chords that gracefully adorn our ears. In Journey To The Inner Self, a constant pad embarks us on an introspective journey towards pleasant memories, with a happy rhythm that subtly reels off our past thoughts. In the Irony remix, the drum machine dominates our journey accompanied by vaporous chords that wistfully absorb us. To close, Everything As a Reason is marked by a sparkling rhythm, evoking situations of past and future excitement where jubilation and adrenaline will take our mind to sonic ecstasy.

Outlaw welcomes Tm Shuffle on its roster with his 'Waterside Dubs' EP.

Hailing from the forest of Ruutana in Finland, Vuo Records founder TM Shuffle has
been deliver his twist on contemporary dubbed out house and techno over the past years via imprint’s like Roger Gerressen’s Irenic, Translucent, Ranges and of course his own Vuo.
Here though we see him deliver his latest three-track EP via Outlaw, leading the release is ‘Viislampi Dub’ which sees the Finish artist employ classic dub tropes such a fluttering stab sequences and a choppy sub hits alongside a subtly nuanced drum groove.
‘Viimsi’ follows next to open the flip-side, this time round laying focus on hazy pads, bumpy off-kilter percussion and jazzy synth melodies before ‘Nocturnal Dub’ rounds out the release on a stripped-back tip. Employing an amalgamation of sharp synth flutters which ebb and flow around one another amongst a minimalistic, swinging rhythm and expansive echoes.
