strange mood

Living Room n°28 ~ @malvern-brume

q. pls introduce yourself

I'm Rory, I live in South East London, spend a good deal of time working with sounds and putting various names in front of it, but mainly do things as Malvern Brume. I run a small label with my good friend Ben Waggett called Infant Tree and do all sorts of other stuff in and around those things.

q. is there a story behind the mix?

Not sure there's much of a story in terms of a narrative but usually when approaching these things, unless i've got a burning urge to do something specific, its a case of playing the music i've been listening to most at that given time (which is why in most of my mixes you'll hear something to do with Af Ursin or Karla Borckey because I seem to listen to them all the time!). I find I fall quite easily into listening to music that reflects how I'm feeling, as I'm sure most do so it's nice to have a document of it to look back on. I like music that challenges me and my perception of what I would deem to be good. Quite often I find things like the music I've played at the start of the mix to be confronting, something to do with the minimal instrumentation and probably some emotional entanglement. I think writing about sound can be an impossibly difficult thing to do and there's very few people who do a good job of it (in my opinion) so I'm hesitant to say too much! haha

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

All the music I've picked is stuff I've listened to whilst walking or cycling so I'd say that would be one suggestion. I really enjoy the disturbances and interactions that come from listening in a less controlled listening environment, especially when you come across tones that oscillate against what's happening in the music. Walking is a really important part of the Malvern Brume stuff in general. Most of the music for it is based on walks I've done or graphic scores I've made whilst walking. When I'm listening back to the recordings it's usually when walking that I decide whether to do something with it or not.

q. describe a favorite object in your living room

I've got a painting by Ben Waggett who does Infant Tree with me (it's titled Shoreham Hovel https://www.victorwaggett.co.uk/threeanchorites/). I love it, I think I asked Ben for it when he was finishing uni and hope it stays with me forever. I live in a shared house with some friends so it's probably the most sentimental thing I keep down here (I'm in the living room now)

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

Yeah, I've got a few things on the go. Next thing to surface will be a tape for Kashual Plastik, which may even be out by the time this surfaces (Last track in the mix is from this tape). Very stoked to be working with my friend Frank to get that music out and I'm really happy with how it sounds. Myself and Sholto Dobie have been editing some recordings we made when I was in Vilnius to see where that will go, which I'm excited about (again I played one of the tracks in this mix). There's another release lined up with some music I made early 2020, not sure when that will surface but it's in the works, and then I've started recording some new MB stuff and am working on some music for different projects. I like to take pictures and recordings of bird houses I find on walks so i'll be keeping that up for sure and maybe one day i'll do something with that, and there's some other work i've been doing with walking and graphic scores for a couple years now but i'm in no rush to share that just yet!

Living Room n°38 ~ @petteril

q. pls introduce yourself:

I’m James Gilbert, I make music under the name Petteril. It’s emotive, textural, electroacoustic music inspired by the complexities of the human condition, nature and the parallels between the two. A dying accordion, baritone guitar, clarinet, field recordings, electronics. I improvise, manipulate and process sound to craft narrative driven musical collages.

q. is there a story behind the mix? how did it come together?

Every so often I feel compelled to make a mix. I don’t consider myself a DJ (at all!) but it harks back to the days of making mix tapes etc in college. Theres something calming and relaxing about it. There’s no real theme behind most of them, it’s just a way of collating and reorganising some of the music that I’ve been listening to recently. I enjoy doing it just for myself. Re-contextualising tracks by juxtaposing them with others that make sense. So this is just like a mixtape of bits I was listening to lots at the time of creating. Hopefully it helps people relax and go about their day.

q. in your opinion, what would be the ideal circumstances to enjoy your mix?

One or multiple of the following: On a walk. Sat in a forest. On a beach. In the rain. Somewhere windy with sound cancelling headphones. In nature. Watching insects. Drinking a coffee early in the morning. Laying in bed late at night, in the dark. Extremes of day. Very early or very late.

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

Might sound a bit boring, but the table. We have a 12ftx3ft table that I made years ago when we were renovating our house. It’s just a thin profile box metal frame, powder coated black with a heavy plywood top. But it’s the heart of everything in our house. It’s where I set up musical gear from time to time, it’s where I often work, it’s where my wife sews (she makes all her own clothes), it’s where my kids colour or do craft or playdoh and it’s where we eat as a family.

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

Quite a lot. I have two finished releases in the pipeline, one of which is my debut album which has just been mastered and is currently being pressed to vinyl. It will be released late in year(ish) on a label I’m super excited about (can’t say too much yet!). And another project which is perhaps a little more experimental both musically and conceptually which I’m just finalising mixes and premasters for, ready to be sent off to get mastered and released on another of my favourite labels (again, can’t say too much at this point). They’ll probably both be coming out towards the end of the year. I’m also working on a long form piece which will be a bit more of a long term project. Trying to practice clarinet, guitar where I can too.
