RVNG Intl. Special (08/04/21) w/Dialect

We created the soundtrack for Tide magazine’s first issue. 

We worked together on the occasion of this new publication, by following the same guidance as the editorial team: to explore the notions of fulfillment and emptiness, through sonic textures instead of words and images. 

The result is less of a straightforward mix, and more of a varied musical atmosphere, which invites our readers to experience every page in an innovative way.

Secret Thirteen Mix 139 - A Closer Listen

Jordan Christoff is one half of the inspiring and prolific duo PJS (with musical partner Patrick Dique). Here Jordan stretches out with another breathtaking new age document of time and place: a deep listening long-form piece in 2 parts. A true sound explorer, committed to his idiosyncratic vision, he is also engaged in supporting struggles for indigenous emancipation from colonialism, as a resident of Lekwungen territory where this album was made.

Over the last few years Jordan has released on labels worldwide including Leaving Records, No Problema Tapes, Muzan Editions, Plus100 and his recent solo outing on Constellation Tatsu. London's Salmon Universe is excited to be the home for his latest expansive work 'Water'. Water is an apt metaphor for his sound, an ever-flowing evolving amorphous yet still landscape, equally and sensitively represented by the cover artwork of Texas resident Nicholas Law.

Jordan is on a mission to dissolve the barrier between reality and the metaphysical plane. He intends to open the doors of his creative self and let his life force do the talking. His music is like air, but also like water - the connecting viscera of everything.

composer/producer: Jordan Christoff
art: Nicholas Law
mastering: Rick Pike

https://soundcloud.com/chlorys is a peculiar dj and visual artist from Bucharest / Romania. She hosts the Alien Flora mix series [Noods Radio] exploring terra incognita and Weltschmerz. Here she unravels a haunting tale of love and turmoil like a sombre and ethereal journey through rites of passage. As description, this passage from one of her favorite poems as of late, "Planetarium" by Adrienne Rich

«	I am bombarded yet         I stand

I have been standing all my life in the   
direct path of a battery of signals
the most accurately transmitted most   
untranslatable language in the universe
I am a galactic cloud so deep      so invo-
luted that a light wave could take 15   
years to travel through me       And has   
taken      I am an instrument in the shape   
of a woman trying to translate pulsations   
into images    for the relief of the body   
and the reconstruction of the mind. »

NOSE JOB 18 — CHLORYS

Mysteries of the Deep is delighted to present its second album by Portland, Oregon-based musician and multimedia artist William Selman (@wselman), entitled “Naming Before Names.” In a world that demands categorization of everything around us through taxonomies, genres, and strict schemas, Selman’s album aims to explore the spaces between categories. His goal is not to offer concrete explanatory gestures, but rather, to create a deliberate space for suspension and ambiguity. These eight compositions conjure a world in which humans are asked to stand on the periphery, observing their surroundings from a vantage of curious wonder, rather than clear definition.

Selman draws from distinct sonic realms, however, citing David Berhman, Maggi Payne, and Alvin Curran as influences. He says, “I like the way these artists use simple forms to ground dense compositions with an approach to composition that is improvisational and collage-like.” In line with this sentiment, the album’s quality is uncannily natural. Many of Selman’s field recordings, collected over a twenty-year period, find a home here, adorning a landscape that’s as visual as it is sonic; we hear hydrophone recordings of tide pools and summer lagoons, grasshopper wings in a lava field, broken humidifiers and sandstorms alongside moments of intentional instrumentation. Light vibraphone gives way to slow hand drum movements. Textured synths add viscosity without extracting us from the ecological world. It feels inaccurate to say the album’s occasional rhythms are constructed; rather, patterns seem to arise organically out of the aether. In Selman’s universe, there’s a sense that everything exists in primordial unity, untouched by the human imprint that insists on fragmenting the world into recognizable parts. 

Written, produced, and recorded by William Selman in Portland, Oregon Jan 2018 - Feb 2020
