PREMIERE // Mount Fog - Canìcola [Tocca Il Futuro]

RADIO.D59B / DEEPARTMENT FALL #2 w/ Claudio PRC

Metallic drones oscillate between micro-tones, seeping down into the depths of our conscious minds. Our next guest, Bryan Kasenic, is no stranger to such sonic imagery. Anyone who has dived into the murky world of underground electronic music has undoubtedly come across The Bunker New York, which has established itself as much more than a party thanks to Kasenic's dedicated hard work. Through years of careful curation, renowned events, records, and podcasts, The Bunker has evolved into a community founded on connection through otherworldly music. 

With the launch of the sublabel Going In in 2020, Kasenic decided to promote the realms of long-form music compositions suited for more meditative moments. With 14 releases to date, he has transformed his devotion to alternative musical forms into reality. His Unrush contribution is a palpable display of this passion, turning his prowess as an experienced selector into a ruminative passage of sound that transcends time and space. So tune in, drop out, and let your thoughts dissolve into the ether.

Thanks a lot https://soundcloud.com/thebunkerny

RADIO.D59B / DEEPARTMENT - Winter #2 w/ Claudio PRC & Kangding Ray

Living Room n°57 ~ @iptello

q. pls introduce yourself

It's Irene (@ip.tello / www.ireneptello.eu). I'm visual/digital artist and designer in my non-free time. I collect blue sky images, round shape objects and early morning light shadows.


q. is there a story behind the mix?

This mix is a very special selection of some meaningful tracks that inspires me and takes me to my own center as an extension of my own energies. These are rare findings in this last years, recreating visual/sound or even physical memory.


q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?

Lushful, uncanny and savvy feeling. Probably at some beautiful natural space, when light is falling and the sky seems melting into deep blue/violet tones - A sense of inner peace.


q. describe a favorite object in your living room...

I have many favorite objects as I'm an object fanatic. I would say a blue turquoise feather from a bird that I found traveling around and now I just keep it on a white ceramic vase at my own apartment.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

I’m working at the moment with sound artists/records labels making cover artworks and visuals for new EP releases. Also working on my own projects and some collaborations. Recently I was invited to make an AV liveset with my visuals at La Nature festival in Belgium in a very experimental/ambient atmosphere and it was beautiful.

Beautiful Mistakes Podcast

This is the 108th Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics. These monthly released sessions brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer. I am very excited for this months session because Karen Vogt is presenting her mix with fresh new music and  dives into atmosphere, nature, chanting and peaceful little sounds that emerge in all tracks that she selected for this occassion.

About:
Karen Vogt is an Australian artist who uses her voice primarily to create atmospheric compositions. Mostly known for her ethereal, shimmering vocals with Australian dream-pop band Heligoland, that she co-founded in 1999 (produced by Robin Guthrie). She is now based in Paris, France and composes experimental and ambient solo works based around improvisation, often manipulating her vocals to add layers of emotional depth to her works. She also has a fortnightly radio show on CAMP where she plays 2 hours of new ambient, electronic and experimental music.
Her mix for September is inspired by the shift in the weather from late Summer to early Autumn. Her intention was to create a soundtrack with which to watch the fading light and feel the temperature drop. The mix includes an exclusive unreleased track from the forthcoming Guentner | Spieth album (out on AFFIN in October) along with a selection of new releases ranging from experimental ambient to pop ambient. Some vocal ambient tracks are included with Vogt's own works, remixes of her work and her GALÁN / VOGT collaboration with Spanish composer Pepo Galán. 


Tracklist:
01. Jolanda Moletta - Birdscapes IV California
02. Hollie Kenniff & Kazuma Okabayashi - Slow Fire
03. Guentner | Spieth - Apastron
04. Claire Deak - A Million Cloaked Ghosts
05. Karen Vogt - Night Soughing (Jolanda Moletta Remix)
06. The Space Between Numbers - Last of the Orange Light
07. Billow Observatory - Fade into Air
08. Ryuichi Sakamoto and Fennesz - Amore (Fennesz Remodel)
09. Mary Yalex - Endless Possibilities
10. Penelope Trappes - Pearl
11. Jeannine Schulz - Three
12. Pepo Galán & Markus Guentner - Tendom

"Music communicates the spirit.
Recognising art as an experiment liberates it from the demands of perfection.
What some may describe as failure is just as valuable as success, as it expands one’s awareness.
The true essence of experimentation resides in the freedom to transcend one’s limitations."

- Nathalia

A DJ set recorded on October 13 at the Nou:shh (@noushh-26120238) event at OSD Berlin, a space designed for the cultivation of deep listening. Nou:shh offered meditative and nourishing sessions with tranquil DJ sets. Curated by Sarah Wreath and Sheila Abell.

Naturally active person, in 2014, Nathalia (@nathaliapetkova) founded Experiment Intrinsic (@experimentintrinsic) – a hidden art dimension organically blended with the visual and musical imagination. A pivotal change, in which she pursued a path of deeper self inquiry and progression of sound, shifted her from the electronic dance-floor oriented music and into ambient soundscapes. Her influences drew increasingly from experimental electronic, as well as traditional and spiritual genres. The following years were dedicated as developing the project into a dynamic and constantly evolving audio-visual platform.

Abyssaï | Floating Machine & Inerte • Sol (Live)

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

We land for the seventh time in a new musical planet in our trip through The Continuum. And you better get ready for the adventures Javier Marimon has prepared for you as the host of his sonic world in the form of a live set.

A storyteller like no other, Javier's creative output flows in many directions. You will find his music creations in many labels like Crescent London, Kizen, Huinali, Accents, Oslated, Secuencias Temporales... and also on his own imprint Off Tangent. He has performed at some of our favourite events including Mostra, Perpendicular, La Nature or La vallée électrique. If that does not already seem busy, his visual art has found it's way to numerous other labels and identities for events and festivals. It is probably impossible to count the number of notebooks filled with his artistic sketches, and lately, his sculptures are taking over his feed.

His work always invites the listener (or viewer) to take part. His, as he would say, 'proudly sketchy' approach puts the receiver in a participant role rather than a witness. His whimsical craft demands attention and often will get you building universes. His inspired sound inspires, and the energy he embeds his art with is contagious; an energy of curiosity, with a childlike wish for filling the gaps. You are all invited to Javier's game.

And his adventure for The Continuum comes, as we mentioned, in live set format. A man and a sampler. Javier builds with his SP404 a musical collage of soundscapes, distant and abstract rhythms, mysterious melodies, and a dose of subaquatic dub. All of it with his signature dose of mischief, and very proudly sketchy. Recorded somewhere in Shizuoka in Japan.

Thank you Javier for your inimitable contribution to The Continuum.

Mysteries of the Deep Podcast, Chapter LXXV

Mysteries of the Deep LXXV - ERIC CLOUTIER | THE CORIOLIS EFFECT

@tape-ghost is a project of David Grunzweig exploring the musical possibilities of artificial field recordings, microtonality, and polyrhythm composition. With a focus primarily on technology and utilizing new methods for sound synthesis and mangling, Tape Ghost productions range from ambient to psychedelic club tracks. Tape Ghost's style is largely influenced by the work of Voices From the Lake, Wata Igarashi, Monolake/Robert Henke, Cio D'or, Lucy and Rrose. A graduate of Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, David is an audio signal processing engineer by day for a company specializing in sound spatialization and acoustic simulation.

. . . 

this is an all original live set by tape ghost, in response to...

"The intent of this set was to create a new set exploring a variety of themes and sound design concepts that have been of interest to me lately. Starting with formant synthesis in an attempt to make drones that resemble human vocals more closely, I developed a synthesizer in Reaktor that pulls from a variety of traditional formant filtering techniques and expanded it with some additional ideas. The rest of the digital elements in the set pull from granular synthesis techniques and Phase Modulation synthesis. These were chosen based on the fact that they do not have an analog equivalent and require digital systems to be achieved. The remaining equipment used was an Elektron Digitakt for drums and midi sequencing and my Eurorack modular system. Each decision was made in an attempt to create a performance and composition in which each device used functions in a way that is particularly unique to it’s capabilities. Thematically, the set focuses on a few ideas, primarily the juxtaposition between viewing our lives personally and existentially. Certain sounds illicit associations and experiences that we may have had personally or have learned about. Particularly sounds like chanting, droning, and the use of large reverberant spaces transports many to spaces of worship, spaces designed to turn our attention away from the micro of our personal lives to the cosmic. Placing this setting against the use of polyrhythmic drum arrangements was intended to allow people to detach or entrance, to feel themselves melting into their surrounding. The sound design is also influenced by a desire to explore the boundaries between the real and artificial in recorded music. No field recordings were used in this performance, but the intent was to create sounds which maintain a vague connection to our world and ask the listener to derive their own distinction between the familiar and the unknown."

"This image of a mountain, like Tape Ghost’s set, speaks to the ancestral, primal elements of our psyche — those ancient ghosts that haunt our modern-day consciousness. It suggests the power these archetypal forces still hold for us today, and reminds us to honour and respect our elemental origins. By blending analog stills with digital compositing, the photograph reflects the paradox of our organic-yet-digital existence, while also hinting at the liberation that lies within the harmony of these seemingly contradictory perspectives. Photographed somewhere on a misty mountain somewhere in Wales, while utterly lost."
