“The world is unpredictable. Creation is also unpredictable. Most of the time, artists have very strong opinions and statements, so sometimes it is not easy to make music with other artists. However, for me, art is the process itself. I invited Japanese artist, yolabmi to work together on this project, expecting we can accept the complexity, embrace each other’s recording materials, and then add our own sounds within and do the editing. I arranged the first 30 minutes and yolabmi arranged the last 30 minutes. We both really enjoyed the process. Hope the audience will enjoy our journey as well.” ― Jin

INTERNATIONAL DOOM ORCHESTRAL AMBIENT HARDCORE | Beshknow | Soho Radio

We're super geeked to welcome Ninasupsa aka Nina Bochorishvili to the SS series this week. This immensely talented DJ is one of the founders of Mutant Radio and a resident DJ at Bassiani/Horoom in Tbilisi. Together with an impressive team consisting of Tata and many other talented individuals, this forward-thinking crew bootstrapped an online station and grew this into one of the most prominent platforms in the scene. It's set up in a wagon and located at a former power station in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Grand River and Sofie Birch are set to unveil their collaborative EP, titled "Our Circadian," on November 24, through Melantónia.

The two-track release follows Grand River's final release under the now-discontinued Editions Mego label earlier this year, and Sofie Birch's two solo albums from 2022. Our Circadian represents the second collaborative release on Melantónia, a platform founded by Hanna Maria & Mattia Onori in 2021, dedicated to music for non-dance environments, featuring early contributions from artists like Polygonia, Plants Army Revolver, and Melantónia co-founders Hanna Maria & Mattia Onori themselves, amongst others.

"Our Circadian" was conceived remotely in 2021 during the lockdown, with the aim of encapsulating two distinct moments of those days - early morning and late afternoon - along with their subtle emotional nuances. The first track of the release - 7PM - conveys dreamy atmospheres that flow into colorful rhythms, recalling the electroacoustic nature of the label’s melancholic sounds. The gloomier 3AM, on the other side of a 7“ record, offers a timeless introspection of a gently intensifying synth sound’s fling.

Grand River, a composer and sound designer, brings her background in linguistics to her work. She draws inspiration from minimalism and ambient music, resulting in atmospheric and rhythmically intricate compositions. Her artistic pursuits traverse the realms of art and electronic music, exploring forms of communication that transcend language, often influenced by nature, scale, and movement. Grand River's impressive portfolio includes sound installations at 4DSOUND/Monom and Terraforma's Il Pianeta, as well as performances at prestigious venues like Barbican, Rewire, MUTEK, Le Guess Who?, CTM, Draaimolen, and Atonal's Kraftwerk. She has also worked on remixes for notable acts like Tangerine Dream. Since 2016, she has curated the label One Instrument, offering a unique creative challenge to artists: creating music using only a single instrument.

Sofie Birch, a celebrated sound artist and producer, is known for her lush ambient releases, art installations, live performances, DJ sets, and her NTS series "Ambient Abracadabra." Her sonic creations can manipulate space, infuse it with a profound sense of calm, and invite listeners to engage in meditation and introspection through the healing qualities of sound and vibrations. Her music acts as a conduit for understanding the complexities of the mind and body through artistic expression, characterized by a distinct emphasis on stillness, suspension, and sustain. Sofie's soundscapes open gateways to dream-like states of perception and heightened presence, providing a transcendental journey into an alchemical biosphere. Her extensive repertoire includes performances at renowned events such as Barbican, Roskilde Festival, MUTEK, Unsound, CTM, Rewire, Monom, and Terraforma, as well as award-winning compositions for VR experiences and animated films, in collaboration with artists like Baum & Leahy and animation director Pernille Kjaer.

As Our Circadian takes its final form, it promises a narrative of resilience, creativity, and the indomitable human spirit guided by the artistic mastery of Grand River and Sofie Birch.

[MEL002] Grand River & Sofie Birch - Our Circadian (snippets)

Melbourne duo @HTRK (Nigel Yang & Jonnine Standish) have a well-storied history reaching back nearly two decades. From a back-catalogue comprising of significant releases on imprints like @Ghostly International, Mistletone and Boomkat Editions, collaborations with luminaries such as Mika Vainio, Rowland S. Howard & @benfrost, and appearances at numerous key events around the globe (including the legendary @berlinatonal festival, Krakow's @unsound and Vivid at the Sydney Opera House), their impact on a vast array of listeners and scenes is indelible and difficult to overstate.

As a two-piece band, their melancholic, sensual music lies roughly at the intersection of post-punk, no-wave, shoegaze and art-rock, with influences from IDM, industrial, noise, dub-techno, pop and beyond. Indeed, it is this eclectic palette, combined with deep knowledge and curiosity that has recently seen them contribute a captivating ambient score for Jeffrey Peixoto's documentary "Over the Rainbow" and regularly deliver genre-defying mixes on platforms like @secretthirteen and NTS.

A starting theme and departure point for HTRK's Patterns of Perception 74 is the ocean. This intricately assembled collection of music finds a natural ebb and flow amongst rich, organic synths and delicate abstract melodies. Building from a slow and introspective beginning, the duo intuitively and carefully guide the narrative to also incorporate gentle energy and a sense of strangeness. 
Viewed holistically, this mix is invigorating and luxuriously diverse, with a true chameleonic quality that allows the listener to take something different from every listen. 

Tracklist:
1. Madalyn Merkey - Besançon (Self-released via Bandcamp, 2020)
2. Kate Carr - Perhaps it was a dream about Water Lilies (Tiny Portraits, 2015)
3. Jasmine Guffond - Yellow Bell (Sonic Pieces, 2015)
4. Vox Populi! - Trois Gouttes De Sang (Vox Man Records, 1985)
5. Joe McPhee and John Snyder - Windows in Dreams (CjRecord Productions, 1974)
6. People Skills - Zoom Meeting (Amplify 2020, 2020)
7. Terry Riley and Don Cherry - Sunrise of the Planetary Dream Collector (bootleg, 1975)
