ambient Ambient II( incl.classical, experimental & exibition music )

Ambient & Experimental Winter 2024 / 25

A couple of months ago, we picked out our <a href="http://www.stampthewax.com/2013/08/05/top-five-fela-kuti-reworks/" target="_blank">Top Five Fela Kuti Reworks</a> to mark the 16th anniversary of his death. The overwhelming response was confirmation of the feeling that had compelled us to write the feature; that Fela's musical legacy still resonates strongly today. Another testament of this is Red, Hot & Fela, a new compilation marking the 75th anniversary of Fela's birth, containing 13 interpretations by ?uestlove, tUnE-yArDs, Spoek Mathambo, Nneka, Tony Allen and Chance The Rapper. Our standout, however, was an interpretation of 'Sorrow, Tears & Blood' by a selection of names who were initially a little less familiar: Grammy award-winning string ensemble Kronos Quartet and TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone and Tunde Adebimpe.

Living Room n°57 ~ @iptello

q. pls introduce yourself

It's Irene (@ip.tello / www.ireneptello.eu). I'm visual/digital artist and designer in my non-free time. I collect blue sky images, round shape objects and early morning light shadows.


q. is there a story behind the mix?

This mix is a very special selection of some meaningful tracks that inspires me and takes me to my own center as an extension of my own energies. These are rare findings in this last years, recreating visual/sound or even physical memory.


q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?

Lushful, uncanny and savvy feeling. Probably at some beautiful natural space, when light is falling and the sky seems melting into deep blue/violet tones - A sense of inner peace.


q. describe a favorite object in your living room...

I have many favorite objects as I'm an object fanatic. I would say a blue turquoise feather from a bird that I found traveling around and now I just keep it on a white ceramic vase at my own apartment.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

I’m working at the moment with sound artists/records labels making cover artworks and visuals for new EP releases. Also working on my own projects and some collaborations. Recently I was invited to make an AV liveset with my visuals at La Nature festival in Belgium in a very experimental/ambient atmosphere and it was beautiful.

Beautiful Mistakes Podcast

This is the 108th Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics. These monthly released sessions brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer. I am very excited for this months session because Karen Vogt is presenting her mix with fresh new music and  dives into atmosphere, nature, chanting and peaceful little sounds that emerge in all tracks that she selected for this occassion.

About:
Karen Vogt is an Australian artist who uses her voice primarily to create atmospheric compositions. Mostly known for her ethereal, shimmering vocals with Australian dream-pop band Heligoland, that she co-founded in 1999 (produced by Robin Guthrie). She is now based in Paris, France and composes experimental and ambient solo works based around improvisation, often manipulating her vocals to add layers of emotional depth to her works. She also has a fortnightly radio show on CAMP where she plays 2 hours of new ambient, electronic and experimental music.
Her mix for September is inspired by the shift in the weather from late Summer to early Autumn. Her intention was to create a soundtrack with which to watch the fading light and feel the temperature drop. The mix includes an exclusive unreleased track from the forthcoming Guentner | Spieth album (out on AFFIN in October) along with a selection of new releases ranging from experimental ambient to pop ambient. Some vocal ambient tracks are included with Vogt's own works, remixes of her work and her GALÁN / VOGT collaboration with Spanish composer Pepo Galán.

02. Hollie Kenniff & Kazuma Okabayashi - Slow Fire

This is the first episode of two. The session was recorded in jam session mode, ranging from ambient to half-beat."

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

We land for the seventh time in a new musical planet in our trip through The Continuum. And you better get ready for the adventures Javier Marimon has prepared for you as the host of his sonic world in the form of a live set.

A storyteller like no other, Javier's creative output flows in many directions. You will find his music creations in many labels like Crescent London, Kizen, Huinali, Accents, Oslated, Secuencias Temporales... and also on his own imprint Off Tangent. He has performed at some of our favourite events including Mostra, Perpendicular, La Nature or La vallée électrique. If that does not already seem busy, his visual art has found it's way to numerous other labels and identities for events and festivals. It is probably impossible to count the number of notebooks filled with his artistic sketches, and lately, his sculptures are taking over his feed.

His work always invites the listener (or viewer) to take part. His, as he would say, 'proudly sketchy' approach puts the receiver in a participant role rather than a witness. His whimsical craft demands attention and often will get you building universes. His inspired sound inspires, and the energy he embeds his art with is contagious; an energy of curiosity, with a childlike wish for filling the gaps. You are all invited to Javier's game.

And his adventure for The Continuum comes, as we mentioned, in live set format. A man and a sampler. Javier builds with his SP404 a musical collage of soundscapes, distant and abstract rhythms, mysterious melodies, and a dose of subaquatic dub. All of it with his signature dose of mischief, and very proudly sketchy. Recorded somewhere in Shizuoka in Japan.

Thank you Javier for your inimitable contribution to The Continuum.

The Continuum: Javier Marimon

Last year in September I released the album ‘Quiet Rooms’ on the British label Whitelabrecs. The tracks on this album were a kind of self-healing process to refocus on home life after a long absence caused by working far away. At that time I was making a lot of improvised music and recording many ideas and sketches. After selecting the tracks for ‘Quiet Rooms’, some ideas, feelings, blurred images and unfinished tracks remained, which later became a solid base for ‘All Our Yesterdays’. Over the course of 2024, more recordings were made and - voilà - a new album was born.

'All Our Yesterdays' is probably a bit more introspective, exploring the spaces between the notes in a much deeper and broader way. So each track is quite transparent in atmosphere and sound, with piano notes, electronic textures and strange sounds drifting in and out. As always, all was recorded mainly at night in dim lighting to focus on what's important to me and my music. ‘All Our Yesterdays’ could be seen as a metaphor for missed moments on the one hand and great moments with the people you love on the other. Deep contemplation with a sense of serenity and balanced stillness - some things don't change...

The cover picture was taken in autumn at a nearby lake, when everything was already prepared and waiting for winter.

Tracklist:
01. All Our Yesterdays / 02. A Change Before A Choice / 03. The Silence Within Us / 04. Until It's Time / 05. There Are Ghosts Around You / 06. Half As Far Out / 07. Beyond Paradise / 08. Anything At All / 09. Before Night / 10. It Takes Confidence (To Let The Music Speak) / 11. The Inner Sea / 12. Fragments Of Love / 13. Never Gonna Let It Go / 14. I Could Sleep For Hundred Years
