Reflexions Podcast 17 - Dionisaf

As if it were a migratory journey, we move away voluntarily or forced, unfortunately some, from a cold and normally noisy city full of hectic lives and people with a thirst for power. A walk towards nature/forest where human voices cease to exist to transform into animal sounds causing a feeling of refuge and closeness. We leave behind a world of concrete and welcome the sounds of mother earth.

Milan native Matteo, a clearly devotee of nature, investigates sound with high enthusiansm and dedication. He wonderfully creates a mellow amalgam of layers using over-reverberated synths, field recordings, and self-created samples. Atoloi is constantly searching for another dephts in which the listener can get lost while getting submerged by heavy-grained noises and evocative instrumental compositions.

Matteo has left us the following text: “I tried to represent this slow march in a real and, at the same time, emotional forest, in which memories and the outer cosmos merge into a unique and cathartic experience.

A pleasant stroll through the forests of Ego. “A universe born from the perfect union between the external environment and the inmost emotional unconscious”.

The Vision Reels - Memory Layer featuring DB1 [re:st]

Mysteries of the Deep presents a new album from UK-based producer & composer, Thomas Ragsdale & Richard Arnold, entitled ‘Transformations I’

A meeting of minds between family members – Thomas Ragsdale and Richard Arnold – instigated a serendipitous musical partnership, and ’Transformations I’ is the resultant first collaborative body of work. Ragsdale is Arnold’s stepson and both musicians share a fascination of exploring new sound terrain and innovative approaches to composition.

It began with Arnold sending a collection of his instrumental works over to Ragsdale who began to deconstruct and reshape each piece’s lavish sound palette, ushering in new detail with granular synthesis, micro sounds and live tape looping. Sounds were broken down, magnified and inverted, occasionally allowing glimpses of any original version to escape like submersed sands of time.

“A glimpse, a glimmer. A shimmer, a shade. Tonal delicacy, rhythmic suggestion. The soundtrack to a rich inner life. ‘Transformations 1’ is an invitation to the listener to dive deep within. The work of two artists whose kinship is not only filial, but expressionistic: each reconfigures the other, forging new paths in sound together. As past meets present, tradition finds its way forward. Lie awash in dulcet waves. Listen in as patterns emerge, blossom, dissipate. The finite expands. A gossamer beauty takes shape. Boundaries dissolve, and what is old is new again. Transformation.”

Jacob Long has been crafting Earthen Sea material since the early 2000s. He gradually graduated from limited-edition cassettes to releases on Ital's Lover's Rock and Nicolas Jaar's Other People imprints, before linking up with the evergreen label Kranky in 2017. His third album for Kranky, Ghost Poems, comes out next week. We celebrate with an hour of music built as spring emerges around him in Brooklyn, full of contrasts between light and decay.
