Welcome to the 58th episode of the Stellar Series.

XIV Orchestral was born in Turin in the late eighties. At young age he fell in in love with electronic music, its atmospheric sounds, hot pads, and melodic leads. At the age of 15 he had already acquired his first decks, and not much later he managed to perform at different parties and at various radio shows. His approach to music confers to the far-reaching and immersive world of keyboards, organs, and synthesizers.

He took the photography at "La Mandria Park" in Italy.

Stellar Series Episode 58 - XIV Orchestral (Path Of Thorns)

What if reflections were to be lost into the dimness of our solitude?
What if shadows meandered thru an overcasted but hopeful landscape?
What if solace was to be found in a mirror of forgotten memories?

Recorded December 27th 2021 on Salt Spring Island.
Snowed in but warm inside. Wishing that you find what you need
here. Manuel

Taylor Deupree megamix

Welcome to a brand new chapter of Deep Electronics. The serie brings you a diversity into the abyss of deep electronic music. This week K4MMERER is back with yet again a new mix. This mix is created with tracks from his latest release. OWDGO 5. You will find the link to spotify below.

ABOUT OWDGO 5, Next World
Chapter 5 continues where chapter 4 finished, asking if human ad hoc irrationality is an ability and an asset in a world where everything else is computable.

(General) Artificial Intelligence is widely debated these days. But there are only two questions that matter; can AI ever fully replace humans and should we allow for it to do so(first intellectually and then later physically)?

AI is not bound by time and therefore nor in space. It does not have the repetitive need to relearn 99% of everything in generational cycles. Learning is 100% cumulative and can accelerate without disruptions. This ability combined with no boundaries in time/space makes for a creature that can travel space and understand (or even ‘cultivate)’ a galaxy. Are we really prepared and have the moral right to stop this to maintain humans as we know them/us? Moral in the sense, that with AI – which is an inheritance of humanity – will live on way way after humans are gone whatever we do.

But what if humans are superior in a way that cannot be programmed, learned or replaced? The ability to produce a totally random output. This might sound somewhat crazy, that the irrational, illogical has a value. But in a world where everything is computable and computed only the random stand unique. And what if this is central for humans’ ability to emancipate beyond any causal way of reasoning, to find solutions that are just not part of an existing paradigm.
It really boils down to this; either we live in a simulation, or we are a rare source of non-causal outcomes. I mean without a source for randomness, why would we/earth be the first place in the universe (or at least in our galaxy) to evolve into AI (remember AI has no limitation in time/space)?

So, either we are a source of randomness, or we live in a simulation. In any case, welcome to the Next World.

EGGBOX 013: RAFAEL ANTON IRISARRI

Welcome to our 17th sceance, opening for the Fall and on the verge of a new era. This time we greet two new members to our ever growing circle of artists: OWL from Belgium and Klara Vedis from Skopje who both sent us their material after OZORA festival has taken place in august. They feature very different mixes that cover the full scale of what we like to call “Natural_Selection style.” Enjoy!

First spotted on Nord Label, then more recently on Silent Season, re:st, Groundwork and Literature’s catalogues, Owl’s aptitude for creating subtle, lush sonic journeys keeps expanding and his last releases should further cement his reputation. The artist’s discography is in perpetual evolution. From experimental halfstep dnb, deep & dark techno, to a dreamy & melancholy ambient journey. Owl has quietly been rising through the ranks of a genre-bending leftﬁeld sound where sonic depth and expressiveness prevail. He put together a selection of his own and the best of the scene that is almost fluid and still athmospheric.

Hej dear adepts, today here's a deep listening session by spanish talent Doctrina Natura.

"Men of broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and the unreal; that all things appear as they do only by virtue of the delicate individual physical and mental media through which we are made conscious of them; but the prosaic materialism of the majority condemns as madness the flashes of super-sight which penetrate the common veil of obvious empiricism." Some words by HP Lovecraft.

Inhale, exhale, get immersed.

Picture by the man himself.

Campfire Stories 90 (It's in the Trees) by @Kuma (Vancouver)

~ About The Story ~

"There was a small stand of trees nearby, and from it you could hear the mechanical cry of a bird that sounded as if it were winding a spring. We called it the wind-up bird. Kumiko gave it the name. We didn't know what it was really called or what it looked like, but that didn't bother the wind-up bird. Every day it would come to the stand of trees in our neighbourhood and wind the spring of our quiet little world."
― Haruki Murakami

Campfire Stories 90 (It's in the Trees) by Kuma

Roel Funcken officially popped up on the scene in 2010, with his solo debut, titled Vade, out on Ad Noiseam. But fans of electronic music, and IDM in general, have been tracking this Dutch musician for over a decade prior, when, along with his brother, Don, the duo has released some of the genre defining music on labels such as Djak-Up-Bitch, Schematic, Sublight Records, Neo Ouija, n5MD , Arcola (Warp) as the one and only Funckarma. In 2009 the Funcken brothers kicked off their very own, digital-only, Funcken Industry imprint, which hosted a few of their other projects and offshoots, such as Shadow Huntaz, Scone, Quench, Automotive, and the latest from Roel's solo works. Roel continues to influence the evolution of music through numerous releases (Sapper Morton on Analogical Force, Semtinal Convex on Methlab and Prester Hynn on his own imprint to name a few) and active engagement in the community, with music festival curation, mixes on mixlr and soundcloud and weekly playlists on Soundcloud and spotify. Roel's music is advanced in sound design, often incorporating unique experimentation in electronic sound, with cut-up, twisted, atmospheric sonic soundscapes, leaving the cranium always begging for more. His ambient textures maintain a cinematic quality throughout, while his percussive arrangements retain a constantly mutating framework, always reconstructing its rhythm and structure, contradicting complex configurations and minimal design. It's always a pleasure to taste the latest treat from this aural engineer, and find the latest gem in his never-ending arsenal of sound. Definitely check out his music Funck’d subscription on bandcamp to check out his latest tracks and get some exclusive material).
