003 - Formant Value

Looking to create warm and energetic atmospheres, @toe_music likes to make you travel into a psychedelic world where music becomes a spirit of its own. She is the mother of the music and visual arts projects @ouroboros-crew and @ewo_collectif.

For this episode, she took inspiration from the Yacurunas, a mythological aquatic people of the Amazon basin living in beautiful underwater cities. The Yacurunas, found primarily in the oral traditions of indigenous tribes, are said to take many different forms, from hairy humans with an upturned head and deformed feet, to the famous Amazonian pink dolphins ... They are usually described as being shapeshifters, capable of taking human form to lure their victims into their clutches, be they fishermen, husbands, or young women... 
Despite the kidnappings, the Yacurunas are generally not considered to be evil. They are incredibly talented healers, and shamans often consult them for advice and remedies.

Chapter I

Passing by the river, you can hear some strange voices. They are appealing. Your fear is overtaken by curiosity. You remember you heard stories about this legend of the people of water, they are spirits protecting the water, they don’t like humans, you know they drown them into the depths of the water. But you can’t stop and you are walking toward these voices. and the more you approach the less you can hear them, maybe the voices are too deep into the water. So you wait patiently. And the more you look at the surface of the river, the more you are absorbed by it. Now your mind is completely hypnotized. You can see them, these beautiful and scary creatures, the Yacurunas, and you fall into the depths of the river.

Chapter II

Now that you are with them, there is no way out. Just accept and your body starts to move, turning into a watery dance. You realize that you can be part of them, just by letting go. They are accepting you the more you accept them, they teach you how to just go with the flow. Feel the vibrations of the water but also of the whole life who started from this world. You can now come back, they are allowing you to return to the human world. And from this moment, you will always remember that the source of life is the water.

"Metallic sounds over harmonic basis. Flashes of light on macro-urban structures that blind you. Music from extraterrestrials, new frequencies, and new ways of understanding a melody. Sci-fi ambient."

hazy and deconstructed, but never hard to follow.

"In this set I tried to generate different emotions, starting with dub, and continuing with breaks and tribal things, basically what I’ve been listening to lately! I wanted to be varied and eclectic."
