From the great sky, she directed her mind to the great earth... She gazed trough the centuries-old stone blocks and waters of the world's oceans, the look of her eyes penetrated...Her heart yearned fro a place beyond the reach of mortals, a place where no one returns...

With a fierce determination she gathered the signs of dominion and justice, in her grasp, securing them with precious golden wrists and a jade sceptre...She donned the Crown of Eden upon her head, disguising herself to avoid recognition, and wrapped a turban around it to shield her from the winds...A shimmering lapis lazuli necklace adorned her neck, while two pearls in the form of water droplets rested upon her chest...She draped herself in a robe befitting a mistress and adorned her fingers with glittering gold rings...

As she gazed upon her reflection at the crystalline of the cosmos, She spoke words that resonated with purpose and intent:

- Today, I embark on a journey to a destination unknown...When I cross the threshold of infinity, let the the mournful strings of life and death play on the ruins of ancient civilisations...But know this - you can always find me by opening the doors of your heart...

With these words, she took the first steps towards a path known only to fate, and the mind questioned her intentions:

- "Where are you headed?"
- "I'm going to the East," she replied
“If you are going to the East, why are you on your way to a place of no return? Why let your heart guide you towards what seems like a ruse?"
- "I'm not heading towards my destination, but to find myself on this path...I'm not going to die, but to be reborn"

In the twilight of infinity enveloped her spirit, she ventured through the seven gates that sealed her fate...When she entered the first gate, the Crown of Eden fell from her head... When she entered the second gate, signs of dominion and justice crumbled to dust...When she entered at the third gate, the azure necklace became coal...When she entered the fourth gate, her turban became sand...When the gate entered the fifth, the golden wrists turned out to be snakes...When the sixth gate entered, those drops of the bead became rivers...When the gate entered the seventh, the robe of the lady fell from her shoulders...

She appeared naked before the light of the seven beings - the keepers of the gates...

- What will be your role in great scheme of things? They asked
- Will u you dare to become the arbiter of justice or will you fade into darkness, self-hatred and the emptiness of an unfulfilled life? 

With a thundering sound of seven voices, the guardians asked...

Can you not see how meager and lowly are the forces which drive them astray? Fear, doubt, sloth, temerity...Are any of these a worthy match for that which you strive to be?

They looked at her - it was the look of death...And they killed her by their decision and hung her body on the chains of ignorance...Darkness...

But as her body hung on the chains of ignorance, a bright light radiated from within her...The light grew brighter and brighter until it burst forth and shattered the chains that held her...

With a voice as strong as the thunder that had just spoken, she declared:

- I will not fade into darkness or despair! I will be the arbiter of justice, and I will fight against fear, doubt, sloth, and temerity...I will shine a light in the darkness and be a beacon of hope for those who are lost!

As she spoke, the seven judges bowed their heads in reverence. They had witnessed the transformation of a mortal into a goddess, a mere human into a divine being...And so, the lady of justice and truth, now reborn, descended from the gates and walked into the twilight of infinity...Her journey had come full circle, and she had emerged victorious...

Joséphine - Guest Mix

Super thrilled to present a new mixtape from Tokyo based artist Masahiro Takahashi. All the tracks featured in this beautiful mix are his own, including eight brand new tracks which were made especially for this project. The tracks glide together as glistening chimes combine with hallucinogenic drones, souring strings and strange otherworldly recordings, all knitted together with the nostalgic sounds of Masahiro's elegant guitar playing.

ZANKYO Mix

Having released "L'Île Sous l'Eau" with us only a short time ago we are very happy to have this here cochlea cockle from a man who very nearly went by the name ‘DJ Windsurfing Life’ and place it into the figurative bucket that is our Forecast series. Vague Imaginaires - as well as being an old and dear friend of ours - is an artist that we knew we absolutely had to work with way back when we began our mission to spread cultural Marxism/quantum mysticism through a relatively small, boutique record label and having had the feedback on his EP we’re very pleased that our intuition was a winner and had not been completely corrupted by the amount of lava lamp liquid we had been consuming. We feel the mix gives quite a lovely insight into the sorts of sounds that influence Vague Imaginaires’ creative machinations and pairs incredibly well with the outstanding levels of vitamin D currently pouring down on us, even more so if there’s a Negroni involved.
Hope you enjoy and remember to wear sunscreen!

Forecast 049: Vague Imaginaires

On a rare trip back to his rural Bavarian hometown, producer and sound-artist Florian T M Zeisig was intrigued by a new addition to his parent's house, a vibroacoustic mattress purchased in the hopes of aiding their chronic sleep issues. Driven by a desire to reconnect in adulthood and help them finally find some rest, Zeisig spent the next two years researching vibroacoustic sound therapy, resulting in his third full-length LP 'Music for Parents'.

Building conceptual frameworks around intimate and personal encounters has always been the bedrock of Zeisig's work. His 2020 LP 'Coatcheck' explored emotional, physical and functional experiences of working in nightlife from the perspective of a garderobe attendant, a position he's held at various venues in Berlin over several years. With 'Music for Parents' he turns his attention to themes of sleep and healing, using elements of low-frequency sound therapy to create soothing soundscapes imbued with childhood memories and aspirations for creating better more accepting familial relationships today. While rooted in the personal, the album was made with all those struggling with anxiety, stress and insomnia in mind.

Practically speaking, 'Music for Parents' can be paired with a vibroacoustic mattress or wearable bass device to enhance a listener's experience of the low frequencies. Zeisig will be teaming up with SubPac for a live rendition when gatherings can safely return, and frequently made use of their 'Wearable sub' while composing the record.

'Music for Parents' features cover artwork by his father and will come out on February 2nd, in celebration of the artist's mother's birthday.

Happy 60th Birthday Mom.
