Rhucle @rhucle

Rhucle is a Japanese artist based in Tokyo who began his activities in 2013. Since then, he has released over 80 works, including solo and collaborative albums, on labels from around the world.

He also runs his own private label, Night Coast, through which he consistently releases his own material.

From 2017 to 2019, he organized a live event series called Threshold, focusing on ambient artists. Through this platform, he invited and performed alongside numerous artists from both Japan and abroad.

Rhucle's music is primarily composed using synthesizers, piano, field recordings he captures himself, and samples from a variety of sources. However, he is not limited by conventional instruments—anything that produces sound can become a part of his music.

In addition to music, he also creates photographs, paintings, and collages, continuously exploring new forms of expression and artistic creation.

Rhucle（ルク）は、東京を拠点に活動している日本のアーティスト。2013年より活動を開始。これまでに世界各国のレーベルから多くの作品をリリースしており、現在までにソロアルバム・コラボレーションアルバム含め80作品以上リリースしている。

2017年から2019年にはアンビエントアーティストを主体としたライブイベント「Threshold」を主催、国内外多数のアーティストを招待し、共演を果たす。
彼の音楽は主に、シンセサイザー、ピアノ、自身で録音したフィールドレコーディング素材、様々な素材からのサンプリングによって構成されている。しかし、音が生成されるものなら、あらゆるものを使用し音楽を制作している。 
また音楽以外にも、写真、絵画、コラージュ作品などを制作しており、常に新しい作品を創造し続けている。

Madelyn Byrd (they/them, b. 1992) is an educator, musician, DJ, and worldbuilding practitioner based in Berlin. Their creative and educational work implements decolonial, hydrofeminist and queer ecology to investigate possibilia and the “sympoietics” of co-becoming to promote synergistic social transformation beyond human-centred perspectives. Byrd fosters a deeply collaborative, interdisciplinary spirit to deconstruct and reconstruct the perceptual realm, weaving field recording, intricate sound design, spoken word, and somatics. Madelyn holds a Masters in Neuroaesthetics from Goldsmiths, where they researched the impact of collaborative imagination on measures of connection and hope in social praxis art. They teach critical theory + music production courses on sonic worldbuilding with Soundial. They are a current resident in Zurich University of the Art’s School of Commons (SoC), 2025 with collaborator Lou Croff Blake to develop their project, Chimera.

@slowfoam is Byrd’s all-encompassing, genre-defying music moniker. They create speculative post-human dialogues and para-worlds, sculpting a/biotic textures from electroacoustics, field recording, feedback, granulated synthesis, drones, and spoken word. Their playful sonic tapestries are spatially triggered and adapted to deep-listening environments, clubs, and everything in between. They have performed and toured extensively, including recent performances at Subbacultcha (NL), Cafe Oto (London), The Lab (San Francisco), Morse (Tokyo), and Morphine Raum (Berlin). Their discography has been published on Somewhere Press, Mappa, and Jungle Gym Records. Slowfoam is a former resident at Internet Public Radio, where they curated their monthly show, Our Tomorrow. Their work has yielded features on Bandcamp, Electronic Sound Mag, DJ Mag, First Impressions, Pitchfork, Boomkat, The Wire Magazine, and Futurism Restated.

Hypnagogic sonics from Venice-based producer Dave Saved

"It’s a mix of tracks that were sitting on my desktop like a moodboard, along with some old and new unreleased stuff of mine. It's a dive into what I’ve been enjoying – from the past to the present, from others and from myself."

Theory Therapy 81: Dave Saved

The 20th episode of the Recovery Channel Outsiders residency. Celebrating this moment with a contribution by none other than Slowfoam. They've been following her moves for a while and are delighted to share this lush, deep and dreamy mix with you.

This episode feels like traversing through all stages of sleep, from vivid and almost visceral memories of holidays in a rainy tent, walks through gigantic forests and dewy fields in a valley filled with morning mist, to deep transformative loops of thoughts, dark shifting feelings and desires close but out of grasp. All to wake up to soft voices, bird shrieks perhaps on a beach.

Sleeplessness

God is with you always, even through tribulations

peace amidst the chaos

There’s a quiet gravity in voices often left unheard — a shimmer that stretches across hidden constellations of sound. This mix moves through those spaces, gathering textures like fragments of dreams, drawing a line between fragility and force. It is music as a shelter, a tide, a whispered uprising.

Recorded by slyn, co-founder of the FLINTA-focused label and platform Gravity Pleasure (alongside Slowfoam), this selection is composed entirely of works by FLINTA artists. Each piece resonates with its own distinct weight, yet together they form a continuum that honors presence, resilience, and care within experimental and ambient music.

The podcast will feature a range of content, including ambient mixes by DJs, intimate music selections from musicians’ bedrooms, and various discussions and interviews related to sound and music. These will be shared from multiple angles on SoundCloud.
