We are excited to announce that our first release of 2025 will be ‘Ways to the Deep Meadow’ , an album from Ocean Moon, the alias of producer Jon Tye.

In addition to running the long-standing label Lo Recordings, Tye has recorded under various names and been involved in numerous projects over the past three decades. Keen fans of the label may also notice that this isn't Tye's first collaboration with MFM; his work during the 1990's as part of UK ambient group MLO captured our attention years ago, leading to the release of their retrospective album ‘Oumuamua’ in 2021.

Releasing archival work alongside new material from an artist has been a fundamental aspect of Music From Memory’s identity since we began the label, and is something that continues to bring us immense joy. With Jon continuing to produce work under a wide range of names to this day, the short step to releasing this new work was organic and natural. Working under the name Ocean Moon Jon carries echoes of his work with MLO into the modern day, weaving an ambient electronic music that radiates gentle positivity.

The title ‘Ways To The Deep Meadow’ is inspired by the poem ‘Universal Solar Calendar’ written by poet, mystic, shaman, and visionary Angus Maclise. Maclise began as the percussionist in an early iteration of La Monte Young's Theatre Of Eternal Music and later played with the Velvet Underground before moving to Nepal, where he wrote and published an impressive collection of poetry and music.

Side one of the album was created at a time when Tye had been exploring ideas around artificial intelligence, delving into books such as ‘The Physics Of Immortality’ by Frank J. Tippler, ‘Novacene’ by James Lovelock, and ’12 Bytes’ by Jeanette Winterson, seeking an alternative to the prevalent, negative views of AI. He was also inspired by the Buddhist perspective of AI as an integral part of consciousness evolution, as evidenced by the creation of a Buddhist robot that preaches in the Kodaiji Temple in Kyoto.

Side two consists of two long-form pieces, one composed for Janine Rook’s ‘Made In Dreams’ exhibition and the other for Vix Hill Ryder’s ‘Wild Edges’ film. For ‘Made In Dreams’, text from the exhibition catalogue was processed via the Holly Herndon Holly + app to create an environment that is simultaneously otherworldly and warm.

As with much of Jon’s work, this music seeks to nurture an optimistic outlook in the listener, something he achieves here with subtlety and a truly delicate touch. The immersive ambient music of ‘Ways To The Deep Meadow’ reaches out to the listener like gentle trails of light, offering it’s spells,invocations and enchantments to all who choose to listen.

‘Ways To The Deep Meadow’ will be released on 31st January 2025 on LP as well as digitally. Sleeve art and design by Michael Willis.

patina with galiba & lenna ft. emelyne (Naarm) + Aarti Jadu Interview

From Finland, but based in Amsterdam, https://soundcloud.com/elinatapio is a DJ/radio maker/sonic researcher with a love for the cerebral, dark and psychedelic. She co-hosts the shows Scrying the Landscape on Mutant Radio with Hannah Pezzack and axia maxim on Echobox with Julia Mira. Together with Marco Segato, under the moniker eoobe, they produce otherworldly musical explorations with an avant-garde touch, deep and intense.

Her daily life atm revolves around executing a daytime job in music/data/machine learning related affairs while trying to finish recordings and releases with Marco for eoobe. Another important part of her day is feeding birds outside of her window, close friends, especially the crow-related ones, they’re so smart.

 Passions include an interest in good concepts and ideas across the board (and in sound). She's pushing herself to read more, though she can be very bad at that‎, but it’s important to see the world through different lenses, more deeply. Currently she's reading philosophy that is about time, hard analytical stuff from which a very esoteric world view emerges.

She’s working on becoming comfortable with being bored, but she’s made only little progress. She likes magpies, drones (the sound, not the surveillance), dry heat, and being fluid. She does not like the days getting shorter and darker, being stuck, silly expectations, and unveiling too many personal details.

 In her mix Elina takes the time to set the mood, slowly raising the tension. Temperature’s rising, almost reaching boiling point. What she’s giving, keeps you sizzling. Out-there mind-twisters, restless rhythms, hypnotic and tripped out gems. The blazing sun makes you melt… almost.
