LOFI BEDROOM POP - RELAXING AND STUDY MUSIC

Locked Door - LoFi Bedroom Pop Dark Vibes Beat

This recording is an attempt 2 share a certain mindstate with you, the listener.

Music has been described as abstracted emotion, given physical form for the convenience of sharing between persons. An empathic aid, condensed first into the spin-states of nanoscale magnetic domains then conveyed via atmospheric perturbations to its ultimate destination: a time-varying field of undulating electro-chemical impulses, resplendent against the canvas of the listener’s ever-shifting neural network.

If you can find some time to relax, clear your mind and listen to this recording continuously (resisting the ever-present temptation to skip through) then we believe there is a good chance you will successfully receive our empathic transmission and enjoy a series of emotions similar to ours when this mix was recorded. 

If you feel that this process has been successful in any way, we invite you to marvel at the ability of music to transmit emotion between total strangers, across vast distances and through great spans of time. This aspect of music is somewhat rarely considered and of one its most fascinating properties.
Many thanks to Oscar for inviting us to participate in the Dimensions series, the other mixes are of a consistently high quality and contributing to it has been a great experience.

« Olorun - Moruroa (IDO04) »

Olorun - Yuki
Olorun - Kodo
Olorun - Moruroa
Olorun - Tuamotu

The fourth release on Valentino Mora’s label, IDO, comes from a fresh, young French producer, Olorun. Olorun began making dark, atmospheric techno as Abrial, releasing 3 EPs under this guise, before directing his focus to explore the textured, minimal, and ambient musical aspects that have always fascinated him. As his approach became more contemplative, he began exploring different moods and a “sweetness and a kind of purity in music.” Through stepping back to examine the subtlety of texture, Olorun’s attention to natural landscapes increased. This encouraged him to name his new, more sensitive project ‘Olorun’; a personification of the natural elements in Santeria’s religion.

Considering Olorun’s affinity with the the natural landscape, it is understandable how the graphic work of Atif Akin on Moruroa’s Crack would provide the inspiration behind the productions that would become Moruroa EP. Conflicting emotions arise when considering the beauty, as well as the destruction, of Moruroa’s Crack, a site devastated by nuclear tests during the cold war. Olorun responded to these feelings through his interpretation of a “journey through the different islands of the archipelago.” Olorun invites the listener to reflect on the always conflicting relationship between humans and their environment.

Moruroa EP is an abstract research characterised by textured layers that form a hybrid construction between organic percussions and atmospheres, and synthesised sounds that remind the listener of humanity’s - often destructive - entanglement with nature. The first track of the A side, Yuki, is a mystical, experimental piece layered with tribal percussions that evoke the Pacific landscape while hints of uncertain mechanical sounds question humans use of nuclear testing in this peaceful environment. The deep and hypnotic atmosphere in Kodo is likely to induce an euphoric, meditative state on the dance-floor. On the B side, Moruroa is also one for the dance floor; a downtempo cut, with deep grooves and atmospheres that will transport the listener directly to the lush forests of the titles namesake. The final track, Tuamotu begins with indistinct voices, hinting perhaps at the secrecy behind the atomic tests at Moruroa. Hopeful drones coupled with soft, expectant percussions, elicit an air of mystery that leaves the listener desiring. Overall, Moruroa EP, has a captivating and intriguing energy that maintains the deep, meditative and spiritual identity IDO has carved for itself.

ALL TRACKS PRODUCED, WRITTEN AND MIXED BY OLORUN.
RECORDED IN STRASBOURG, FRANCE. MASTERED BY NEEL.
ARTWORK BY MAISON CC.
DISTRIBUTED BY CHEZ EMILE.

Greetings bbs. We paused for September to re-frame and re-build Moods from its home on Drip to our new home here on Soundcloud. All past mixes are shared here, and new ones will be uploaded here too. If you care to continue paying and paving the way, head here: https://moods.substack.com/p/moods-21-altstadt-echo

October 2019 has none other than dub techno mastermind Altstadt Echo (Taylor Vincent, or @altstadt-echo), founder of @modern-cathedrals whose released on bbs from @semantica-records to @ithqdetroit 's Eyeteeth. "The concept behind the mix is that it's music for sleep deprivation - for listening to on the days after tossing and turning in bed all night, and you're barely able to keep yourself together. Sometimes it's peaceful, sometimes it's frustrated, sometimes it drifts off. It's definitely not a New Age mix designed just to make you feel better, but rather an exploration of the feelings associated with sleep deprivation."

This Moods mix navigates from contemporary classical to ambient, noise, and experimental. Something totally new for us on Moods, so grab your blanket and watch the leaves fall.

Taylor was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona in the 90s. "I started DJing when I was 15, ordering trashy UK Hard House records on the internet and hoping they didn't get warped by the heat before I got home from school." A move to Michigan for school in Ann Arbor, then a move to Detroit to found Modern Cathedrals, shifted landscapes, temperatures, and communities from the 00s to early 10s. 

Techno, of course, was there in Detroit, against the city's cold nights and empty streets. "I think I first heard techno scattered throughout some of the early Warp Records and Rephlex label catalogs, but it was kind of accidental as I was really just interested in the IDM. I started listening to techno in earnest in 2009, I think. At first it was some minimal-ish techno (think: Perlon) and dub techno (which I was introduced to by old mixes by Placid).

"For the rest of the songs, it's really just been about years of online digging. I listen to contemporary classical and ambient all day while working, so I get through a lot of material. There were some artists I really wanted to fit in (like Jóhann Jóhannsson) but if it didn't fit with the flow and balance of the mix then I didn't want to force it."

For example, let's take the the last song in the mix, "Sleep." That's a track from a high school friend, Patrick. "We were sitting on the floor of his basement, not really doing anything, and it came on. I grew up singing in choirs and honestly had a lot of disdain for them, but hearing this track opened me up to genre again. Since then I've gone on to sample choir pieces in my own music on a regular basis. It's still a big source of inspiration."

I then paired Altstadt Echo's mix with one of my all time favorite photographers, An-My Lê, whose work documents war films and military exercises, shooting on-site with producers and instructors in order to demonstrate how America canon-izes the military industrial complex. This sparse piece shot during a training exrcise in California vibrates well with Altstadt Echo's nuanced mix. Both, in many ways, are painting landscapes with their work.

К вашему вниманию 8 эпизод ОКЕАНА представляет наш близкий друг, эмпат-нумеролог X_WAX. Видный деятель на прострах поволжья, яро болеющий за электронную музыкальную культуру, представляющий неотьемлемую часть андерграунд сцены г. Казань. 
Безусловно X_WAX новичок в диджеинге и в таком музыкальном жанре, как эмбиент. Ему более понятна роль промоутера в культурной группировке BNF г. Казань, инициатором и идеологом которой он является с 2013 года. За плечами BNF множество, как зарубежных и отечественных привозов, так и мероприятий разных концептов и калибров, от трехтанцпольных рейвов до виниловых ярмарок.
X_WAX имеет богатую историю до эпохи BNF в качестве коллекционера винила и глубокого меломана, являющегося тайным покровителем и вектором для многих диджеев и музыкантов, происходящих из зерницы Татарстана.
Этим миксом X_WAX выразил свое представление о музыкальном жанре эмбиент, через призму своего музыкального бэкграунда и дабовых историй.

Приятного всем прослушивания.

The 8th episode of OCEAN is brought to your attention by our close friend, an empath-numerologist who is hiding himself behind X_WAX pseudonym. Being a renowned underground activist in the Volga region he is an avid supporter of electronic music culture and is claimed to be an integral part of underground scene of Kazan city. 
X_WAX is a newcomer both to djing and ambient music, notwithstanding he's been the solid promoter for years leading underground community called BNF since 2013. BNF has been responsible for vast array of different events hosting well respected foreign and russian artists and djs.
X_WAX has been enjoying a reputation of vinyl collector and true music lover possesing deep knowledge of electronic music history well before BNF. And in fact he's been an influence and stealthy encourager for both local artists and djs and those stemming from Tatarstan. 
In this mix X_WAX has made a humble attempt to show his vision of ambient music based on his musical background and his dubicious views. 

Enjoy your listening.

Our bodies are given life from the midst of nothingness.  Existing where there is nothing is the meaning of the phrase, "Form is emptiness." That all things are provided for by nothingness is the meaning of the phrase, "Emptiness is form." One should not think that these are two separate things.
