Ambient / Experimental   Spring 2022

Deep ambient etc.

ZzzzZZzzzzzZZZzzz.

Ambient music is a genre of music that emphasizes tone and atmosphere over traditional musical structure or rhythm. It is often "peaceful" and lacks composition, beat, and structured melody. It uses textural layers of sound that can reward both passive and active listening and encourage a sense of calm or contemplation. The genre is said to evoke an "atmospheric," "visual," or "unobtrusive" quality.

As an early 20th-century French composer, Erik Satie used such Dadaist-inspired explorations to create an early form of ambient/background music that he labeled "furniture music." He described this as music that could be played during a dinner to create a background atmosphere for that activity rather than serving as the focus of attention.

ARTIST'S BIO:
Inhmost is one of the monikers of S.Huxtable who wanted a representation for the more ambient and downtempo works that he creates which would allow the freedom of expression within these genres, deep space atmospheres and otherworldly soundscapes are the order of the day.

Situated in the South West of England the local area provides the backdrop for inspiration with the coast and countryside allowing an escape into the wild for moments of reflection.
Inhmost has solo album releases with Stasis Recordings, RE:ST, La Luna, Huinali, Captured Visions, Short Trips and Tonights Dream Records as well as collaborating with ASC on projects for Auxiliary. (Words by Human Lessons)

RADIO.D59B / ON BOARD #1 w/ Laura BCR, Nems-B, Refracted

The new episode of our podcast series comes from @lowgravitysound: Technology and imperfection, raw and processed, so many concepts that lie at the core of Futurepast identity.

Low Gravity trained his mixing and production skills in the London underground scene, before he brought his sound to Rome where he co-founded @radiocircolo and Collettivo Sonico. As an enthusiast of electroacoustics and experimental music, he deploys his knowledge to sculpt the sound, and fuse elements from ambient textures, experimental and hypnotic rhythms.

The mix itself features tracks from essential pioneers Éliane Radigue and Suzanne Ciani, Brian Eno, revered sound designers and composers like Tetsu Inoue, Alva Noto, Pete Namlook or Robert Rich, and new coming talents like LF58, Grand River, and of course Low Gravity himself, with an unreleased track.

Here we have it folks! From the darkest depths of Somerset, on Merv's home turf, a DJ set from the Heaven Stage, nestled in the wacky Shangri La area of the legendary Glastonbury Festival..The weekend was hosted by the king of chillout spaces, Mr Mixmaster Morris himself and we finally have here, some real evidence proving that Merv actually DID play an Ambient set once, in the Chillout Arena! When asked was he behaving and following the rules just because Prince Harry happened to be hanging out there that day, he replied gruffly ''who the fuck is Prince Harry? Never heard of him...''

Campfire Stories 22 (Isotope Cobalt #5) by Roel Funcken

~ About The Story ~

Coloring Extremities
Hovering pass the city lights
my mind lies awake
full of the psychedelic treats you offer

latched on the various trances I felt
I make sure it was you
and not the demon who awoke
as a ball of thunderous energy
feeding the insatiable desire for vices and sin

As the body grows lapse
we know things are about to fall apart
leaving us starving for more
and voiding the reality we're in

Our minds retry to go back
while our souls will forever be lost
in the wonder provided by the mysterious ghost
of acid and MDMA

Campfire Stories 22 (Isotope Cobalt #5) by Roel Funcken

Campfire Stories 29 (Storm Approaching) by @naturalelectronicsystem

~ About The Story ~

This mix was recorded live on August 28th, 2016 at Funkhaus Berlin in the external garden next to the river using 2 turntables and two cdjs.

It was a long day with the weather cooperating in the morning and into the afternoon. However in the distance we saw a storm  approaching which caused concern as we are set to play last in the line up when it was completely dark. During our set there was a surreal atmosphere with the wind and clouds and a lot of electricity in the air. The lightning from afar approached closer and closer formulating a very intense and unique set.

We intended to play for 3 hours but after just 1 hour the rain started heavy and we had to stop the music and quickly cover all the gear. The end of the last track in the mix has been added to the original recording. Due to the story behind the mix we are calling it "Storm approaching”.

Campfire Stories 27 (A Spell Before Winter) by @w_a_r_m_t_h

~ About The Story ~

After the red leaf and the gold have gone, 
Brought down by the wind, then by hammering rain 
Bruised and discolored, when October's flame 
Goes blue to guttering in the cusp, this land 
Sinks deeper into silence, darker into shade. 
There is a knowledge in the look of things, 
The old hills hunch before the north wind blows. 

Now I can see certain simplicities 
In the darkening rust and tarnish of the time, 
And say over the certain simplicities, 
The running water and the standing stone, 
The yellow haze of the willow and the black 
Smoke of the elm, the silver, silent light 
Where suddenly, readying toward nightfall, 
The sumac's candelabrum darkly flames. 
And I speak to you now with the land's voice, 
It is the cold, wild land that says to you 
A knowledge glimmers in the sleep of things: 
The old hills hunch before the north wind blows.
- Howard Nemerov

Campfire Stories 31 (A Spell Before Winter) by Warmth

Welcome to the 40th Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics.
It's the first sunday of January and 2018 and that means a brand new Ambient Sessions!
This monthly released podcast brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer. This months session is created by Funky Jeff.

About the mix:

 As I often take the plane and I have a bunch of long ambient tracks over 30, 40 and 50 minutes from Bandcamp, I thought of making a mix longer than usual (usually less than 80 for CD's) for the purpose of soothing the plane flights. Also inspired by Brian Eno, I preferred beatless tracks with nurturing synth sounds.
