In greek mythology the titan Mnemosyne (Μνημοσύνη) is the personification of memory and mother of the Muses. This new series of archival sonic mixes wants to celebrate Memory, as it covers the most important role in creativity, progress and life itself.
By presenting a different vision of it on each episode, participants will distill memories and ideas that formed their projects, using a variety of audio materials, ranging from finished songs to extracts of performances and jam sessions, to interviews and field recordings, and so on, to create a sonic self portrait.

MNEMOSYNE - 2023

About MNEMOSYNE

MNEMOSYNE is a label that revolves around ancient Greece myths and traditions. Conceived by experimental artist Myalo, the label goal is to showcase the vast field of electronic and electroacoustic music in all possible dimensions.
____________________________________________________

This is the first of a series of compilations that wants to explore various themes by binding them to mythological figures of the ancient Greek religion and tradition.
The Moirai (Μοῖραι, "lots, destinies, apportioners"), were the incarnations of destiny and fate, whose role was to ensure that every being, mortal and divine, lived out their destiny as it was assigned to them by the laws of the universe.

Diggin' old sketches in his hard drive, Myalo starts a journey into preservation and remembrance of its roots.
After selecting, dissecting and rearranging some of his past productions we can now enter an icy landscape situated in a fictional future around the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Longyerbyen, where after surviving a small ice age can finally serve its sole purpose...

MNEMOSYNE 2024

https://soundcloud.com/syntaxerika is a synthesist who works in contemporary electronic sound patterns and a graphic designer. She is currently exploring the strata of sound, the artifacts of sound that become self-expression experiments. Her music is an hybrid between natural sounds and synthetic noises.  She is incorporating elements of dark ambient, field recordings, industrial strength drones, art-techno, noise, and synth experimentation into her work.

''What was a crucial sonic experience in your life?’'
When I first listened Pauline Anna Strom
I love her artwork. She changed my point of view on experimental electronic music,  and make me realize that the dark and deep ambient experience is what I enjoy listening and composing the most.
Her avant-garde compositions is just a red explosion in my heart and an electrical synthesis to my brain. Pauline Anna Strom is love at first listen. 
The tempo, the atmosphere, patterns and hypnotic textures ... it's just an immersive inspiration in my path on making art-sound. Her path is very similar to mine, so I feel really connected and love to see the reflex of me on her artwork in someway in the sense of how she can imprint her visions into sounds.
She taught herself to compose intuitively. She explained, "I learned as I go. And I learned through repetition—I’d try something and see what I’d get and play with it that way…If someone asked me how I did it, I honestly couldn’t say how I did it, I just did it...I went into a different space...I’d start at six at night and I could go until six in the morning.”

MNEMOSYNE #021 - SYNTAX ERIKA

https://soundcloud.com/luispestana approaches the pagan nature, according to a filter of the saturation of humanity and its technological achievements. A recent but already solid heritage of people like Oneohtrix Point Never, James Ferraro or Ben Frost, who distilled the popular sphere into a dystopian and yet effervescent digital alchemy. A utopia made reality. The fauna and flora summoned by Luis Pestana are still existences to be verified. The kind we read about in sci-fi books and popular legends: so unreal and yet so familiar.

''What was a crucial sonic experience in your life?’'
Listening a strange pipe organ drone coming from a little church in Palmela, near my hometown. Never heard a pipe organ sounding like that, as though as it was slowly being consumed by fire, singing melting blue dirges. What a strange and beautiful thing. The door was closed; no info outside. Occasionally I would pass by but never heard it again. Ten years later I found out it was a Tim Hecker gig.

MNEMOSYNE #023 - LUIS PESTANA

https://soundcloud.com/noemibuchi is a Swiss/French composer and sound artist that creates electronic, symphonic maximalism. Her music is defined by a delicate synthesis of textural rhythms and electroacoustic-orchestral abstraction. She explores the potential of consonance and dissonance, contrasts rhythmic physicality with disruption and playfully emphasizes irregularities, creating an expansive listening experience marked by detail and elevation.
After her studies in electroacoustic composition, musicology and german literature, she already played at various festivals and was awarded a culture prize of the city of Zürich.  https://soundcloud.com/ous_ooo will be releasing her debut album ‘Matter’ and its prelude ‘Hyle’ in 2022, as well as the debut album of Musique Infinie, a collaboration between Noémi Büchi and Swiss/Italian composer and installation artist Feldermelder.



"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"

When I discovered drone music and listened to „l'île Re-sonante“ by Eliane Radigue on a hot summer day in an empty house. It was a kind of enlightenment for me.

SÉPULCRALE - Mix for MNEMOYNE by Noémi Büchi
The idea of my mix was to represent sonically and musically my current aesthetic and artistic world. I chose pieces by artists who deeply touch and inspire me. Because as an artist you are never alone, even if you think you are. I find it fascinating to see an artistic aesthetic as a whole, a conglomerate of different works, by different artists, creating a whole work with a zeitgeist.

MNEMOYNE #040 - NOÉMI BÜCHI

Blasted and cutting sounds immersed in apocalyptic ambiances characterize the sound of https://soundcloud.com/halbaofficial, embodiments of his dystopian vision focused on society's decay and its consequent uncertain future. Chaos, despair, and distress are some of the feelings that the artist tries to convey on his Podcasts, a result of depth research of unconventional audio material with a huge impact for the listener.

"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"
The experience that marked me most of all (and which led me to my musical conversion) was that of the Berlin Atonal in 2013 in Berlin. It literally opened up a world that I absolutely didn't know before, both on how to listen and how to produce.

MNEMOSYNE #041 - HÅLBÅ

https://soundcloud.com/placa_fer is a tool to experiment and to connect. Its main intention is to generate a sonic diary, gradually adding layers of information, memories and emotions. 
With an attraction towards storytelling, imperfection and out of control  scenarios, placa's compositions aim to take the listener to concrete places and ephemeral situations with field recordings as its cornerstone. Archiving moments, as if clips were filmed and stored for future reference. 

 "kyo-ka" for Mnemosyne is the sound map of a trip to Japan in late 2019. 

"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"
When I first listened to my first field recordings with studio headphones I was shocked by the power they had to take me to specific moments and places in life instantly. Even if some years have passed by, they still hold that super power. It is also fascinating how, every time I listen to them, I hear new details and new strong connections are built. The micro macro perception when listening to field recordings has really influenced the way I listen to my everyday context.

MNEMOSYNE #043 - FELDERMELDER

https://soundcloud.com/thisismartenot, pseudonym of Simone Gottardi, is an Italian electronic music composer, based in Turin. His compositions, exclusively computer-based, are founded on a minimal vocabulary and instrumental apparatus and, aiming to exploit the entire musical spectrum, they orbit around a solid sound body, which has as its main source a monophonic synthesizer that he developed in Max/ MSP and gives a precise timbre direction with radical aesthetic constraints. The feature that unites his tracks is the dichotomous alternation of claustrophobic patterns that evoke the rigid molecular structures of plastic materials in contrast to freer and more irregular sections where the musical fabric dissolves and opens up to airy and rarefied scenarios.
Martenot launches his own collective and curatorial project called https://soundcloud.com/neanche-per-sogno-records publishing his debut EP called Sfilate Spaziali in September 2022.

“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
The experience that changed me first as a listener and then as a composer was when, studying John Cage during my first class in composition of concrete music at the Conservatory of Trento, I was asked to use poor common objects not traditionally conceived as musical instruments, considering any noise produced as a potential vehicle of musical meaning. The result was awful, but it opened me up to sound in all its facets.

MNEMOSYNE #044 - MARTENOT

https://soundcloud.com/missing_ear aka Matteo Gualeni, drummer and sound designer based in Milan, he is also part of the AV duo https://soundcloud.com/baransuofficial. " Missing Ear", a key concept in this project, and interpreted by the artist as the awareness of the listener to actively understand the music in its genuine and purest form. In this way, the act of listening becomes an act of protest against the overstimulation displayed in the digital world. Following this principle, our sound perception is at the core of the creative process, working as a processing tool, and turning itself into the very same instrument.
Matteo’s sonic quest straddles futuristic landscapes enclosed in a post-natural aesthetic, where ambient sounds meet noises and break-glitch rhythms. His main influences span from the harsh experimentations of artists like Objekt, Atom, Autechre to the fine drum work of Steve Gadd and the abstract and fluid sounds of Lee Gamble and Boards of Canada.

“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
The crucial experience that I'm still hearing every day has an exact name: Tinnitus (in Italiano it's called "Acufene")
I can definitely say that this situation changed my mind... not because I struggle against that (or so and so) but because that begins me really next to some problems that we every day live.
First of all the noise pollution, the inability to listen, and thus also the way listening has changed. I'll speak about this very soon in a paper that I'll release with Mille Plateaux. I hope this has piqued your curiosity.

“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?” 
Being a hypersensitive person has been pretty extreme sometimes, I always get mad and anxious with some sounds —like hearing another person chewing or car klaxons and traffic— so music has been always my comfort zone and shelter. Of course living in a city is kinda complex but I truly enjoy the urban sound experiences related with soundscapes of specific spaces and in general with ‘natural’ sound culture (or aural culture).

The https://soundcloud.com/appropriate_savagery project was born in 2017 from an attempt by its author to encapsulate and transcribe in his sounds the most visceral emotions of the human race, such as joy, fear, sadness, hatred or disgust. As a result, this project is fiercely interested in the different relationships that unite and divide humans.
This podcast is a collection of atmospheres, past and recent sources of inspirations, which he likes to listen to and which give him the strength to continue his work.

"What has been a crucial sound experience in your life?"
There have been many memorable experiences in the field of music but when reading this question I immediately thought of this one. In 2015 I was producing techno and had little interest in ambient and was unfamiliar with the world of noise in general. Then, a dear friend of mine made me listen to the album "Frozen Niagara Falls" by Prurient, an artist I knew nothing about until then. This album was a crucial discovery in my listening experience since I discovered a whole new musical world in which I recognized myself much more. I questioned the way I wanted to convey emotions in my music for months and then, the Appropriate Savagery project was born.

MNEMOSYNE #048 - APPROPRIATE SAVAGERY

https://soundcloud.com/sequences is the main musical output by Niels Geybels. Besides creating sound and visual works he also curates the label Audio. Visuals. Atmosphere.
The sonic worlds of Sequences are arranged to blur the listener’s perception of the mundane and the surreal. It’s the result of an almost obsessive hunt for analog and acoustic sounds, some captured and recorded during travels all around the world, while others have been crafted through tape experiments with an array of instruments and tools like modular synthesizers, electric guitar, piano, contact microphones and reel-to-reel recorders.

Q: "What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"
A: "As a child I was always browsing through my parents music collection and looking at the artwork and designs of all those records they collected. Instrumental music (soundtracks, ambient music, etc..) had a great impact on my earliest listening experience since they held such rich imaginary power."

MNEMOSYNE #052 - SEQUENCES

https://soundcloud.com/holysimilaun is an Italian musician and sound designer based in Treviso, Italy.
Its work sonically portrays a constant feeling of powerlessness, focusing on heavy cinematics, minimal-inspired compositions, physical modelling synthesis and non-linear time manipulations, bringing its unique perspective on internal-external human meltdowns.
After its Aphex Twin-approved debut album “En To Pan” and the sophomore album “Ansatz”, Holy Similaun returns, in collaboration with Archipel, with “Arcaskathel” and “Radicor al flort, espert on’ill il erb, aor Raetia”.

Q:"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"
A:"Definitely noisy (I mean, loud and noise music) gigs with super loud sound systems. In particular, Emptyset in Udine in 2017 and Talpah in Venice last year. 
Also, the gigs organized by the Quarto Mondo and Dirtmor crew in Treviso were one of my main inspirations in sound. 
Currently, I'm more focused on producing experimental than club-driven music, but back in the day, the opportunity to hear heavy bass music with such a massive sound system was an immense gift for my artistic growth."

“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
Listening to Animal Collective on acid when I was a teen, haha. But seriously, there were many - from Soviet rock music when I was a small kid to 90’s experimental electronics/IDM stuff, mid-20th century avant-guard music and noise concerts in my teenage years, or playing pieces by Cornelius Cardew and other contemporary composers later. Most recently I found it terrific to listen to sounds of jungle in Indonesia. So many incredible noises there, it’s unbelievable. I’m not really into new age, nature and blah-blah-blah kind of stuff, for me jungle sounds interesting purely from the sound perspective.

https://soundcloud.com/wavefold (Filippo Nunziale) is a producer and deejay based in Padua, northern Italy, active since 2015. Deeply into sound and music since childhood, absorbing mostly hip-hop and alternative as a kid, his first electronic productions floated around Ambient and IDM, a sound expressed through few releases on Chevel’s Enklav label. He later developed a Uk-bass leaning sound, based on recombining sonic elements from Dubstep, Drum and Bass, Dub and Breakbeat to assemble a new, evolved audio DNA. In 2021 he founded with fellow producer Coeden Wetware Echo, an imprint focused on exploring the bass continuum through sci-fi, techno-folklore and cyberculture contaminations. The two also produce and perform together as Aural Stream. 

Q:"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"
A:"One of the most crucial audio-experiences in my life was hearing a blasted and chopped Amen Break during Roll The Dice’s live set at Atonal 2017, the first time I was listening to electronic music on a proper, good sounding sound system. From that moment on breakbeats re-surfaced in my music consciousness, becoming a central element in my sonic practice. (the mentioned sound is featured in the mix)"

MNEMOSYNE #057 - WAVEFOLD

Italian composer and producer of experimental electronic music Corgiat, aka Giovanni Corgiat Mecio. Born in 1995, he specialized in Electroacoustic Music Composition at the Conservatory of Turin. His research is based on the deconstruction of classical compositional forms and on the exploration of processes, recombinations and transformations sound. He has performed at various festivals such as Movement, Robot, Seeyousound, Nextones.

"What was a really crucial sonic experience for you?"
"It is difficult to sum it all up in one experience, I will try to describe it in 3.
In front of my childhood home is a paper mill whose machinery sound has always fascinated me, the complex sound gestures these machines can create are incredibly musical. Another pivotal experience was watching the film Arrival whose soundtrack by Jóhann Jóhannsson: the way he uses human voices makes me cry every time. Finally, the third is Keith Jarrett's concert at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome (2016), he plays solos floating above time but always attached to it, sometimes it seems to be minimalism, but never predictable. I like to think of his music as an inspiration to go further starting from classical forms."

Kratu (https://soundcloud.com/see-serenadibiase) - the androgynous name of Serena Dibiase - identifies her artistic and sounds productions, mixing experimental vocals, sound art, performing arts, poetry. He carries out her artistic investigation starting from intense physical/respiratory practices and through analogue and not-analogue devices to listen to radical phonic geographies, choral happenings, interventions on biophonies and geophonies extracted from recording sessions in abandoned, wild, industrial spaces, in a horizontal treatment of the sources. Her next EP Nostalgia for the Androgynous - a telluric/ethereal sonic dimension for voices and concrete sounds - will be released by Maga Circe Label, curated by Donato Dozzy in 2024. 
Her latest book of poetry Erbario da bocca, is soon to be published by MC editions

MNEMOSYNE #059 - KRATU

While officiating as a drummer for various Swiss indie bands, https://soundcloud.com/numeral-music-828949040 has developed his own production methods and sound aesthetic throughout the years. In his personal work, sometimes dark atmospheres prevail, sometimes luminous melodies. An inclination to distort, disassemble, modify sounds with great attention to details: this is what gives Numeral's apocalyptic sound its full magnitude. 

This contribution consists of a curation of sound samples that were gathered, processed, and layered to create a continuous one-hour sonic stream. These chosen sounds have been recorded over the past four years at diverse locations in Switzerland and Germany. The samples encompass field recordings, studio and live sessions, blending a variety of electronic and acoustic sources. Together, they weave a sonic narrative of memories, capturing both the sensory experiences of these distinct places and situations, as well as the various emotional states that emerged through a responsive process.

"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
Amongst so many experiences that I would describe as "crucial", I remember a strong emotional impression from an early stage of my life. When I was about 5 years old, my mum would take me for long walks and we would usually end up at the local music school, watching and listening to the drumming lessons (from outside the classroom, of course, with my face pressed against the window). If I was lucky, there would be a short break between two lessons where the teacher would invite me in and even let me play the drums for a few minutes. The physical experience of the sound produced by the drums was certainly overwhelming at this age and left a strong emotional mark on me.

Tracklist:
- various samples of unreleased tracks (Berlin, 2020 – 2021)
- jam sessions in a studio (Bern, 2020 – 2023)
- making fire and collecting water (Glarus, 2020)
- cooking a meal in a mountain hut (Glarus, 2020)
- rainy afternoon in a neighborhood (Berlin, 2021)
- busy afternoon in a studio (Berlin, 2023)
- various samples of recorded live sets (Zurich, Geneva, Basel, 2023)

MNEMOSYNE w/ Myalo & Rogian (16.03.2024)

"What was a crucial sonic experience in your life?" 
My first ever musical approach was with a Farfisa organ in the late 70's ,  later on i was able to play my first monophonic analog synth, a Roland SH09, and I started experimenting and recording on tapes. The album that changed my concept of music was Computer World by Kraftwerk.

MNEMOSYNE #002 - HYPERCUBE

https://soundcloud.com/vitogatto is a composer, violinist and sound explorer based in Milan.
Graduated in Violin from the G. Verdi Conservatory in Milan in 2009, his research starts from the unconventional application of classical background, both in studio and live performing.
After several collaborations with rock and experimental artists of Italian and International scene (among others Einstürzende Neubauten and Blonde Redhead), he discovers the world of electronic experimentation, and  its endless possibility to enhance the acoustic instruments features and concrete sounds, increasing their humanity by exploiting micro variations coming from uniqueness of each single recorded execution.
Influenced by ambient, techno, minimal and contemporary classical music, his work aims to find a hybrid shape through the symbiosis between human expression and electronic elaboration.
After releasing his last album Evolve in 2020, his contemporary research is focused on conflicting sonic themes, spiritual attitude vs hardcore and distorted sound treatment for first, or complex patterns based on a single audio sample, like strings recordings, released or unreleased tracks, field recordings, and concrete sounds.

“What was a crucial sonic experience in your life?”

When i first listened to "Fur Alina" by Arvo Part.
It radically changed my vision of classical composition, and the use of sound in general. From that moment I understood the importance of silence, both in life and in musical research.
