To mark World Oceans Day 2021, we partnered with Concentric Records, TBA-21-Academy and Ocean Archive for a full day of broadcasts based on and inspired by sounds from the oceans.

 The incredible Ocean Archive is a sound library of the seas and harbours of the world, from Galapagos to the North Atlantic. It includes many types of whale, fish, earthquake, seismic explosions, methane seeps, tectonic plates and deep water drilling.

 The artists invited to make broadcasts based on this archive are Jake Muir, Izabel, Beluga, Carl Michael von Hausswolff / Dark Morph, Baby Vulture, Terrence Dixon, Jana Winderen reporting live from the seas, and finally Refuge Worldwide programmer Richard Akingbehin.

"Voice Figures" release has been inspired by the research of Margaret Watts Hughes and her eidophone tool for visualising specific frequencies, geometrical & natural forms produced by vibrations of the human voice.

"At first, when directing the voice against the semi-liquid mass upon the centre of the disc, there is a feeling as if some impassable barrier were encountered and that it would be as easy to move a mountain with a push of the hand as to set that colour heap moving by the action of a note." (Margaret Watts Hughes)


I performed a variation on this experiment based on recording multiple singled frequencies generated by tuning forks, frequency generator and gong, which resonated on the metal surface and inside the soil. I captured reverberated metal surface, secondary resonation through the soil and oscillation of the bowl. The experiment is accompanied by recordings of water, coffee beans, my voice and string recordings in varied pitch and velocities.

Live At Cafe Oto (SAGOME, London, 3.12.2022)

Hadi Bastani is a sound artist, anthropologist, and composer. Spanning spatial composition, live performance, and installation art, his creative outputs have been represented through international festivals, residencies, radio broadcasts, podcasts, and workshops, including Klangteppich (Berlin), Sonorities (Belfast), TADAEX (Tehran), the BBC, Resonance FM, and Deutschlandfunk Kultur. His scholarship and creative practice engage with combined affordances of ethnography and practice-led research in sound to explore, examine, and articulate socio-technological, spatio-material, and affective assemblages that underpin different people’s sonic experiences and expressions, in the broadest sense to include musicking processes, focusing on the post-revolutionary-Iran. His investigation of contemporary Iranian experimental electronic music practice (2015-2019) has formed the first comprehensive research on the subject and culminated in a book that will be published through Routledge in 2024

These raw recordings were made in and around Belfast, for the purposes of a sound library that was compiled for a soundscape intervention project commissioned by the Northern Ireland Hospice in the summer of 2015. All sounds were recorded using a Zoom F4 digital recorder and Sennheiser MKH 418-S microphones.

The project was led at the Sonic Arts Research Centre, Queen's University Belfast. It consisted of a series of sound installations created for different public spaces in the Hospice using wall-mounted and garden speakers. The installations were patched through a programme written in MAX/MSP, which allowed for the playback of the audio files according to a specific schedule agreed upon with the Hospice’s management.

Belfast is a city that still deals with ‘troubles’. Creating soundscapes that appeal to a mixed crowd of residents at the hospice posed various cultural and technical challenges. To overcome these, we organised several workshops in order to explain the project to the residents, play them sounds, and gather detailed feedback. The final installations were a fine-tuned response to the hospice residents' feedback, the majority of whom are no longer with us.

Happy new year and welcome to 2024! Bright Patterns welcomes Garçon from Switzerland for this new chapter of the show. He’s a resident at Elysia in Basel and co-runs Amenthia Recordings with Agonis. More often than not, we have the pleasure of hearing his deep cerebral explorations of rhythm, building sets and mixes with thoughtful intention for the dance floor. While I and many others enjoy these recordings again and again, he presents a softer side here that’s equally as brilliant. “I wanted to play music i'd like to listen to in the morning or stay in bed to” he added. It’s a perfect way to start off a new year. As always, thanks for tuning in.

When Words Lose Their Meaning

This mixtape reflects two years spent in different cities, amidst shifting moods and events. Music recorded at different times—through both difficult and quiet moments of reflection, echoes of spontaneous decisions.  

The mixtape blends ambient, beats, experimental sketches, field recordings, and various demos—fragments of a sonic diary, compiled from lost, unreleased, and new material.  

The second part will be released in a week.

2023-2024 works vol. 1

‘On The Dispersion Of Materiality’

Through vast perceivable soundscapes and a broad array of influence,we momentarily reflect on the individual perspective. In our withdrawal from
this deliberate capability, both complex and challenging circumstances allow us to comprehend our own human condition. ‘On The Dispersion Of Materiality’ relies to some extent on pastiche and the generality of its social content, perfectly demonstrating how the consequence of artistic expression can be distributed through technology.

Sad Cowboys And The Sound of Rain ~ Daniel Rincon

To end this year we would like to tell you how lucky and grateful we are to be surrounded by such wonderful people. 

This recording is a memory of that moment when the right person was at the right place at the right time.
Please enjoy Maayan’s chillout set during our Ferien auf Sardinien last summer in its full length.
CDV and SIC gift for this wonderful past year together.
