Description:
A four track album, DayZi Suite

Track 1: Switch On (4:10)
Track 2: Explore (1:59)
Track 3: Alarm (1:03)
Track 4: Cycle (7:38)

Inspired from the modular synthesiser works of Sarah Belle Reid and Walker Farrell and hardware sequencing of the Soma Ornament from Vlad Kreimer; my own digital modular synthesiser, the DayZi; plus the eight track recorder of DayZi to capture the Soma Enner and Soma COSMOS magic.

This is a suite of four separate recordings of live improvisations using my digital modular synthesiser, the DayZi (Release 05), which I programmed in Max (Cycling 74). The synthesiser at it's core is a generative music performance instrument using linked timers to trigger other timers and the FM oscillators, some parts are planned ahead of the performance, others are conjured up during the performance. Key parameters liker timers, initiators (bangs, pings etc.) and frequencies are controlled through a patch bay, that can be altered during the performance. Not all synthesiser parameters are hard wired into the generative process, leaving room for the performer (me) to improvise twiddling the parameters live during the recording. All parameters can be saved to preset banks ready to recall later or saved/read from a text file. No midi interface was used for this performance, nor was this included in Rel 05 of DayZi, future releases will consider addition of midi for launching and parameter control via rotary encoders.

Some times the DayZi synthesiser provided the inspiration for the Soma Enner playing, other times vis versa.

No digital audio workstation (DAW) was used. Only minor editing of the recorded wave files using Audacity, to trim off the silent portions at the beginning and end was employed.

Development of the DayZi began on the 3-Sep-2025 as a proof of concept, happy with the initial prototype, I continued further, now at Release 05 on the 10-Sep-2025.

The tuning is largely just intonation (JI) based on the DayZi side, whereas on the Soma Enner is freely improvised tuning based upon the emotional drive created by the DayZi recordings and that of the performer, the crucial human element. There was no specific plan of a tuning scheme, largely at the whim of my imagination at the time of inception.

The suite is based on four performances, all related by the instruments used to play them and similar theme, though the timbral sounds produced very much changed from one performance to the next, but yet enough in common to function as a suite.

The first piece in the suite, DayZi Switch On (4:10), is turning on the sound machine. Typical tuning was 100,150, 300, 600, 700, 324 Hz.

The second piece in the suite, DayZi Explore (1:59), is rummaging around exploring the scene. The tuning here is rather bizarre, purely improvised tuning and experimenting with recursive generative tuning.

The third piece in the suite, DayZi Alarm (1:03), the exploration has triggered an alarm -- oops.

The fourth and final piece in the suite, DayZi Cycle (7:38), the alarms give way to an exploration of two linked sequences, each a daisy chain of events in their own right but with a common trigger in time. The Enner performance interprets the daisy chain of events. The starting point for the tuning, for the first daisy chain was: 
100 Hz, 200 Hz, 100*(2/3) Hz (#1), 100*(4/3) Hz;
whereas for the second daisy chain: 400 Hz, 400*4/3 Hz, 400*3/2 Hz,  100*(2/3) Hz (#1).

The common node of the two chains is marked as (#1).

Chris Cruse... Is Burning #12

I decided to record this set at 2 in the morning after a long b2b with my partner, he decided to sleep and I decided to continue, so this is what my tiredness allowed me to mix. I know there will be plenty of errors, and 'm sorry in advance.. love you all xx

In Hour 2 we hand over Darwin, the boss of Berlin based label SPE:C, which recently dropped 'Behemoth'  by previous guest Decka. She had this to say about her mix;
'I guess you could say I was pretty late to the party... I only started listening to dubstep about 4 years ago while literally stumbling on a friends old record collection left in my flat. Most of it was total crap but there were a few OG gems in there that got me completely turned on to the sound. After a few years of collecting, I was burning to do a mix to show my take on a genre that's been sorta swept under a rug. Recorded on two turntables, a 92 and lots of love... '

Solid Steel (30th June) In Hour 1 we welcome Sei A to Solid Steel following the release of his Holding EP on Aus Music. This will be his 3rd EP for the label (plus an album in 2016) and follows releases on Hemlock, Turbo, Kompakt and International Deejay Gigolo Records. In his mix the Scottish producer drops tracks by Andres, Beat Spacek, Central, Gunnar Haslam, Matt Karmil and a track from the new EP. He told us;
"Being a big fan of Ninja Tune and the impressive library of Solid Steel shows, it was a pleasure to be asked and to do this mix. I had a proper idea of how I wanted it, but like most mixes, things can quickly change. I didn’t intend to go as deep as the mix starts to sway around the 18 min mark, but essentially being a House and Techno DJ it seemed the natural fit. Keeping the flow of the mix V deep from just before the second half onwards but never going too heavy. The mix was on a pair of Nexus 2000’s and a DJM 900 then brought into Logic 8 for some FX, added acapellas over to give the mix a different feel at points."

In Hour 2 DJ Food steps up with a special 25th Anniversary mix for the Apollo record label and explained;
"It's hard to underestimate the importance and influence the Apollo label had on electronic music in the 90s, alongside Warp Records and its parent label, R&S, it released some of the most classic ambient electronica in Europe. Originally set up to release Aphex Twin's 'Selected Ambient Works vol.1' in 1992 as an alternative to the harder, clubbier sounds coming from the already well established R&S, it went on to host premier recordings from Bioshphere, David Morley, Robert Leiner, Locust and Sun Electric. 
Appearances from Global Communications, early Orbital offshoot Kinetic, The Orb, Andrea Parker, Model 500, Mixmaster Morris, Jam & Spoon, Cabaret Voltaire, John Beltran, Thomas Fehlmann, Dave Angel, Ken Ishi, Billy Ray Martin, Riz Maslen, Pete Namlook... the list reads like a who's who of electronic and ambient music.
Winding down around the early 00's it was reactivated five years ago to release new music and this year sees the 25th anniversary of the label with a reissue of 'Selected Ambient Works vol.1' already in the shops. Search for Apollo on a digital service like Beatport however and you won't find it although some of the titles are available under the R&S banner, best head to Discogs to flip through the seven pages of releases and discover the many treasures hidden in their catalogue. Or start with the mix they commissioned me to make from a personal selection of my favourites from back in the day to celebrate, which Solid Steel hosts exclusively from today."

Solid Steel (4th August) In Hour 1 we welcome back Bambooman, ahead of the release of his debut album 'Whispers' coming out on Accidental Records, (the label founded by Matthew Herbert ). He told us;
"I had so much fun collecting the music for, and recording this mix. I wanted the mix to include a broad range of the music and styles that have inspired or feel of a similar vein to me, to the music heard on my forthcoming 'Whispers' album, be it music from friends and close associates such as the beautiful  tracks from Crewdson, Beatrice Dillon, Elsa Hewitt, Jehst, Rian Treanor  and Suplington, old minimal classics from the likes of Marc Barreca  and Jon Hassell, through to tracks from legends such as Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Fell. And onwards to amazing artist I have discovered in the last few years such as Aesthete, DPI, GOAT (Japan), Huerco S , Sun Araw and Visible Cloaks. There's also a couple of bits in there from me from the forthcoming album, which hopefully give a good vibe of what to expect. Enjoy!"
