IS Special 023 - Merites [Photic Fields, First Notions]

Whether it be releasing on Vancouver's juggernaut ambient imprint @silent-season or his most recent release on Chicago's @kranky, Jacob Long's 'Earthen Sea' project has subtly amassed an impressive back catalogue over the years. 
Effortlessly coalescing the delicate strains of dub techno with ambient, spoken word and drone, Long creates music that instantaneously depicts a vivid environment for the listener to immerse themselves in. 
His contribution to our Inchmix series delivers that same tangibility, and provides a proper exploration into the abyss. 

About this mix:
"This mix, though unintended, seems to me to reflect the changing season that is upon us.  Shorter days, more night, grey skies and cool temperatures (for the most part) here in New York.  
I don't know why but the vibe/feel of the UK electronic music i really like resonates that vibe to me.  
So this mix starts in a ambient/spacey/dubby zone moves into some drums and then backs out in dubbed out fashion.  Peace."

Joining us on our next podcast is Mysteries of the Deep founder Grant Aaron, who began the New York-based project in 2011 as a podcast and event series for ambient and experimental music, hosting the likes of Neel and Patrick Russell, before expanding it to a label in 2017. In true form Grant has provided us with a mostly-ambient mix, an hour which evolves patiently and profoundly over its course. Grant covers grand territory with his selections, dealing in sparse instrumentation, sweeping drones, and pared-down percussion, weaving these elements into a moving and cohesive whole. Dive in now, or save this one to accompany you on an upcoming journey. It’s worth the wait.

Sure Thing Mix 63: Grant Aaron

After witnessing one of their sets at Amsterdam institution @breakfast-club-music-1 last year, we felt an instant urge to invite Caim (@caim-records) to our mix series.

While Caim is a recent project, its members Tommy Kornuijt and Mark Antoni have been active in Amsterdam’s scene for years as independent DJ’s, most notably with their residency for the Breakfast Club where they have become known for extended after-hour sets. Last summer they released a first EP on their self-titled label Caim Records, with a second release scheduled for early 2019.

Our first mix of 2019 by Caim is a perfect reflection of their sound: Timeless and with a hypnotizing groove, it finely treads the line between organic techno and rolling breaks.

Japanese duo @opalsunn, a.k.a. @alexkassian & @hiroakioba, take their love for machine-made electronic music and create free-spirited, intricately-layered musical landscapes.

Since their first studio release on @planetsundae in 2017, they have crafted a niche for themselves with energetic, percussive live sets featuring travelling acid baselines and expansive ambient textures.

Featuring field recordings, esoteric samples, and an unlikely confluence of musical imageries, the duo's Patterns of Perception 45 sees them lingering in warm, brilliant ambient spaces punctuated by irresistibly forward-moving percussive sequences which evoke visions of their homeland.

Konduku (a.k.a. Ruben Üvez) burst onto the scene in 2018 with his debut album Kıran, named after the picturesque hill in Turkey's Cappadocia under which his father is buried. That man and that place are in many ways the inspiration behind this unique artist's arresting blending of atmospheric melodica and polyrhythmic drive, grounded in equal measure upon the mystifying beauty of his ancestral home and the thrilling electronic music scene of the Netherlands in which he was raised.

His Patterns of Perception 46 perfectly reflects these dual complementary forces, at once arcane and palpable. And perhaps the third vital foundation upon which this mix's incandescent energy stands is the process by which it was created: two turntables, one take.

Perpetually obsessed with proving the futility of binaries, Lou Drago is drawn to the spaces between analogue and synthesised sounds. In their sets, Drago aims to provide a space for contemplation and introspection, offering a pause from the anxiety of neoliberalism through ambient, strange and relaxing sounds. They aim to summon imagery of speculative queer and postgendered futurities through evoking sci-fi, space, drone and ambience. Drago hosts a monthly show on Cashmere Radio based in Berlin called TRANSIENCE, each time inviting a different artist to respond to their concept to create an hour of anxiety relief from hetero-patriarchial systems of oppression.

In Patterns of Perception 47, Drago fuses all these elements into a masterfully lucid kaleidoscope of vivid textures and colours punctuated by shimmering spaces.

With a penchant for subtle groove and emotive shifts between genres, Kia’s sound centres itself around bass, IDM and the deeper reaches of techno.

As a member of Melbourne’s burgeoning electronic music community, she showcases the talent shown by friends and other figures within the local scene through the careful selections of which her mixes are comprised.

With Patterns of Perception 48, Kia weaves a smooth, coherent narrative that effortlessly blends shades of dub and minimal techno, whilst also providing an inspired down-tempo exploration of contemporary bass music. Warmth, nostalgia and sincerity are elements that can be felt keenly throughout the mix, and are indicative of the positivity that permeates through Kia’s musical vision.

Seattle-based @simictacoma uses unique textures and musical emotions to explore the spaces between house and techno. Both a DJ and a producer, he is a resident of @secondnatureseattle collective with whom he has a new 12" on the way later this year, which follows on from memorable contributions to @acidcamp and his 2017 secondnature debut, amongst others.

With Patterns of Perception 49, he explores his own vision of deeper techno with music that is engaging, transportive and spacious, favouring textures and melodic elements that vividly transport the listener to another place.

Transcendental Movements Vol. 1 marks the beginning of a new full-length ambient series, curated by IDO founder Valentino Mora. 

Since the age of 14, Mora has been searching for alternative tools to relieve anxiety. In 2016, he discovered the music of Marow and Olaf Tonstein and found that through listening to this particular music he was able to access a new state of meditation. This began the journey of researching the technique he calls ‘active mediation’.  

When he discovered that a lot of Marow and Olaf Tonstein’s music from 2009 had never been released on vinyl, he knew he needed to release it one day. In their work, Mora identified a feeling pertinent to the concept of the label, one that exemplified the connection between minimal/ambient/glitch and IDO’s ambient house sound.

From there he reached out to other artists that he felt could relate to this idea, and asked them to contribute a track in response to the concept.  The resulting compilation varies in tempo and technique, illustrating each artist’s idiosyncrasies, yet as a whole it forms a cohesive and potent statement.

Active meditation differs from regular stationary meditation through the focusing of one’s attention on sound whilst in motion — the form this motion takes is personal. The goal of active meditation is to transcend one’s awareness of motion — in fact, the awareness of being in a body — and to become absorbed entirely in the sound. Mora found that this process has the potential to ease anxiety as all conscious thought is alleviated through concentrated focus on music. 

For the cover artwork, Mora selected a painting from visual artist Raphael Lecoquierre, in which the movement, airiness and minimalism elicits a profound sense of calm. Mora also invited writer and artist, Lou Drago, to interpret the concept in words. Their text, Suspending Reality, features on the inside of the gatefold cover.
