It began as an art project. Inspiration was taken from the sounds of her adventures, in the city, forest and by the seaside. Random elements gave the track structure. We then had the pleasure to invite three artists, each with their own unique sound. Now, the journey of listening is yours.

efja is a multiform electronics imprint operated by lunar convoy. This new endeavor will mainly focus on the experimental & abstract side of things, with a healthy dose of psychotropism. Man of many trades, lunar convoy has been on the forefront of Brussels club scene since 2015, with regular appearances at C12 and Fuse and his event series Metropolis (co-founder). He’s also co-running a successful deep techno label called NORITE. However with efja, he has set to steer away from any conservative club structures and instead embrace the odd and uncertain.

Living Room n°50 ~ @djbirdbath

q. pls introduce yourself
a. My name is Ian Baxter and I produce music as DJ Birdbath and am currently based in the sunny top of New Zealand's south island.

q. is there a story behind the mix?
Not as such, I just tried to go with my first impulse for the song choice.

q. what's the best way to enjoy your mix?
I reckon it's best enjoyed in a comfy place with some headphones maybe on a bus or train.

q. describe a favorite object in your living room...
Definitely the pile of comfy pillows a friend made covers for from an old wall hanging. I've been making lots of music and this mix whilst nestled amongst them.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
I'm always working on bits of music and samples and am very excited for my EP to come out on APPX: ( @appendixfiles ) on the 24th of March.

Living Room n°50 ~ DJ Birdbath

The Album tells us about the colonization of cloned humans of the future and about modernity's attempt to help nature and finds itself in the beginnings, when archaic man coexisted naturally with extraordinary creatures of the world, flora and fauna. Everything is hopeful if you breathe......

For more than twenty years, Roel Funcken has been a cornerstone in electronic experimentation. Alongside his brother Don, this Dutch sound sculptor melted hip-hop, industrial and soundscapes under monikers like Funckarma and Shadow Huntaz. A prolific solo musician and collaborator as well, Funcken teams up with Cor Bolten to revive the Legiac project with the eight tracks of Banisteriopsis Caapi. Keys appear through a sorrowful haze in "Mimosa Hostilis", this machined mist difussing as distorted strings penetrate before a dawning of icy brightness. Modulated forms and shapes billow in the bubble and trill of "Pyschotria Viridis" before the orbiting interference and introspection of "Epicatechine." Percussion is reduced to a texture, the duo finding structure in droplets of water, the stretch of steel and a litany of field recordings. The partnership dive deep into their chosen sounds, elongating and expanding tones to find harmony in the absence and isol ation that is their focus. Pieces like "Solanaceae" bristle with an understated elegance, like starlight piercing a brooding night sky, while "Banisteriopsis Caapi" finds an eerie solace in its repurposing of voice as an undulating elegy. Legiac achieve a distant intimacy with their listener, a relationship forged through complex compositions, gentle movements and subtle shifts.

Legiac - Banisteriopsis Caapi (Full Mix)

Taru is an Italian musician whos research weaves electronic experiments influenced by techno, jazz and classical baroque. He has released several albums, including Post Analogic Tales with Nous Disques and Spazio Primitivo with Secuencias Temporales. 

Minimalist variations and obsessive repetitions are essential parts of his practice and compositional signature, and some pieces move between the blurred lines of future-oriented electronics. Playing with timbral spatiality, his intention is to create a continuous musical flow, in search of (self-)knowledge and an attempt to deconstruct the concept of time. The result is like a merry-go-round that rises and falls in our perception of things. 

The idea behind this set is to narrate a fantasy universe set in the near future where hybridization between machines and humans has taken place and where biological and mechanical boundaries have merged.

A synth was used that allows modulations on three different oscillators in subtractive synthesis, playing on different parameters and tonalities. The tension of the repetitiveness is provided by the use of an arpeggiator connected to the synth, which increases the sense of temporal vertigo. A reverb was also connected to the synth, also modulated, to restore some atmospheric aspects to the rigid timbre of oscillators.

Description:
Dodecahedrons, frequency modulation (FM) networks, free tuning of hardware synthesisers and the sounds of a forest at dusk all come together in this suit, Dusk.

The title is inspired from that magic time when daylight begins to give way to darkness -- dusk. The insects begin to sing,
the forest becomes alive with other sounds. Dusk is an imagined journey into the forest at dusk.

1: Dusk Movement 1
The sun has set, the wind has calmed down, insects and creatures of the forest come out to sing. A normally quiet time except for the chorus from the forest that is slowly building up. A time to reflect on life. In German, we call it the Dämmerstuendchen, a time to sit in semi darkness as light from the sun fads, complemented by sip of a good Australian red wine with a friend. The nocturnal creatures begin to wake and say hello to each other, the bats, owls and possums. 

2: Dusk Movement 2
A distant rhythm of drums are heard, the Cicadas. The birds from tree tops have their brief say. The crickets decide to join in again. Possums scurry from tree to tree. A sugar glider sweeps past.

3: Dusk Movement 3
A breeze picks up, the din of the insects give way to singing trees.

4: Dusk Movement 4
The wind stirs some more, swirling into the caves, awaking the bats, emerge from the cave, flying into the forest.

5: Dusk Movement 5
The wind dies down. The crickets emerge again, the owls fly past. The trees cover the forest in a comforting blanket. Nocturnal marsupials looking for morsels. All settle back to their nests before the sun rises again.

This project has been on the building books and sketch books for a while now. It all started with someone posting an article on the "Mathematical Tiling and Tessellation" FaceBook group about five side shapes (Pentagon) in nature. I was then curious about networking several of these Pentagons for a tuning system, turns out you can connect twelve of these to form a closed surface called a dodecahedron. A very common musical scale in Western music uses twelve notes equally dividing the octave. I started a music project using a scale based upon twelve notes printed on a paper dodecahedron, the notes you would see as you rotated the dodecahedron, that project is still ongoing. This led on to thoughts about how such a shape could lead to a physical instrument -- more trials, more ruminations during my exercise walks. Now, fast forward to Nov/Dec 2025, the pentagon was reduced to a triangle and the closed surface of the dodecahedron was reduced to an open surface triangulation with one pocket.

Eight triangles, eight vertices. My Push2 midi controller, has eight main rotary encoders and eight columns of note pads. An FM synthesiser at it's core has three inputs, a carrier frequency, modulation amplitude and frequency of modulation. Can you see the pattern? The triangles form the topology of the FM synthesis sound generation, the surface the human machine interface. The Push2 as the prototype.

For the full story, see my facebook page at:
https://www.facebook.com/norman.freund.545/
or my BandCamp site.

Find your self a quiet time to listen to Dusk with a set of good headphones or stereo speakers. Lots of timbre evolutions, small detailed changes and an evolving spatial movement of sound voices.

I like smooth & metamorphic Tech, Ambient & Leftfield electronic music, new varieties of Patterns & Sequences,.. the possibility of a much wider world that corresponds to the already wide possibilities of modern music.----FREE PALESTINE  &  EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS WORLDWIDE !!!
