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.

Living Room n°85 ~ @living_roooom sleep set

8.5 hour hybrid set recorded on the 8th of February 2025, 23:30-08:00 at Oficina Municipal do Teatro in Coimbra, Portugal by @asiootus and @usofusofusofusof

q. pls introduce yourself:
a. Hi we’re asio and usof from the Living Room crew


q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. We were invited to perform a sleep show by the Ouvido Absoluto crew in Coimbra. We were very excited because playing a sleep set was always something we wanted to do. We've been collecting tracks specifically for an occasion like this for many years. On top of the different tracks we were improvising with a variety of digital instruments, to create an organic canvas of sound that is always moving, but very slowly. The idea of influencing dreams with music is one aspect that we found particularly interesting. So for that reason the set is not always focused on creating comfort, but rather different, sometimes quite alien moods.


q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. Sleeping and dreaming.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room…
a. Perhaps the red desk light in Cosmos (technically our living room:). it creates a very cozy atmosphere.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. The whole Living Room crew is soon set off to play at Waking Life. After that we’ll have a string of events in Lisbon, with the next one being on the 6th of July.
