To celebrate the 150th release of the Mysteries podcast, we are thrilled to present a stunning DJ set from Lynne (@lynne-tokyo), recorded live at Variations in NY on Friday October 20, 2023!

Mysteries of the Deep CL – Lynne at Variations

This contribution is a very special one, as it marks a new chapter in The Observatory’s sound… 

We will always be a home for ambient and experimental sounds. But, moving forward, we will also be exploring our love for dance music, with a particular focus on the deep end.

To begin this new journey and warm things up, we are so happy to welcome back Timnah, who gifts us with a two-hour recording of her set at Omen Wapta, ADE’24. A mind-bending traversal through ambient, drone, and halftime experiments, exploring the liminal spaces between the listening room and the dance floor.
~~
Timnah lives, works and feeds the cats in the Northwestern extremities of Switzerland. Brought up in her parents’ jazz clubs and deeply influenced by her brother’s love for dub and soundsystem culture, she started DJing just after the massively feared Millenium Bug had threatened to offset our relation to time and space. Dedicated to drawing her own map of late 20th century sonic landscapes, she spent the early 2000s exploring 90s electronics including breakbeat, triphop, ambient techno, drum&bass, house and jungle. After a short but sweet excursion into producing in the early 2010s, Timnah dedicated herself fully to spinning the wheels and transversing genres, gravitating towards her current signature sound that spans immersive sound baths and intergalactic carpet rides in half-time. Timnah is a member of Amenthia Recordings and a recent addition to the A Walking Contradiction Collective.

Hi friends, I'm spontaneously releasing this atmospheric track exclusively for SoundCloud. I'll post it right away. It's designed to fill you with focus and a touch of atmosphere, and I'd love to release tracks like this from time to time.

INTERDIMENCIONAL

This was the audio used for my final MA project, as it was given as a live performance. I am planning to rework some of these tracks to work better as an album listen. 

II. Accelerando

Used the same modular system for yesterday which is morphagene, qpas, and mimeophon + a behringer crave. I think a lot of people look down on the crave (horrible name), but it's wonderful. Oddly the crave sits better on the desk than a Moog mother 32. Like a cascade down from my skiff case. So anyway, I went with the basic patch that the crave comes with backed by a reel which started as an acoustic guitar. Same reel from yesterday just went a little deeper smudge-wise.

Mysteries of the Deep is a New York-based record label, podcast, and event series — focused on ambient & experimental music in various forms. Mysteries — as fans lovingly call it — is concerned with exploration of unknown realms, and its focus, in addition to showcasing a dynamic spectrum of electronic music from foremost artists in the field, is to thoughtfully engage its audience. 

Conceptualized in 2011, Mysteries began as a podcast series that, now in its eleventh year, has hosted an array of mixes and original works. The project has since evolved, expanding into a curated global event series and record label.
