The sounds of Cleveland seem to grow increasingly abstract with each passing release and a third Kalahari outing is no exception. Manipulating house and techno templates into newly mutated forms, ‘Lola Ran’ is a testament to a producer always playing fast and loose with concepts of genre. It’s possibly his most probing set of productions thus far.

Where predecessors came bearing remixes, it's strictly originals for the duration here. 

‘Rand’ and ‘PrideBRK’ are direct but decidedly off-kilter; at once modern and faintly retro in their approach to breaks and deep-dwelling techno. ‘Lola Ran’, ‘Mano’ and ’Temp Oro’, on the other hand, shift gear into opiated, rhythmelodic territory. There are no doubt traces of Detroit-style sci-fi but the Brussels-based producer terraforms an alien microcosm unto itself.

Here's @charainmusic 's comment on the set:

What an incredible pleasure it was to play for you at this first night of the week - I could not have wished for a more fun Muumimaa Kick Off <3 This was the first time I dared to 'wing it', coming to the booth with only the intro being set in my mind. Anything after that was what came to me in the moment, and thanks to all of you beautiful dancers I didn't even get stressed about it at any point! Except for when I realized that the recording hadn't been started, so this is a re-recording I did at home, based on the history that was luckily saved on my USB :) 

Thank you for all the love I felt during this set and also during the rest of this incredible week. I loved welcoming you at our home, and I'm already excited for next year!

70'li yılların sonunda, NASA'nın fırlattığı Voyager 1 ve Voyager 2 uzay sondalarında birer 'Altın Plak' vardı.

Bu plaklarda, dünya üzerindeki yaşamı ve kültürel çeşitliliği gösteren görüntülerle birlikte, doğal sesler ve de insan üretimi müzik vardı: 'Johnny B. Good’dan Peruluların düğün şarkılarına kadar...

Özgün Çağlar, her çarşamba Radyo Modyan'da, Katibim Records programı ile Voyager Altın Plak'ların izinden giderek; dünya toplumlarının modern ve folk müziğini dinletiyor, avangart'ın, psychedelic'in, modası geçmiş ana akım'ın sesini açıyor.

Eski Sovyet coğrafyasından Güney Amerika'ya, Levant bölgesinden Uzakdoğu'ya, türler arası bir yolculuk... Uzaylılardan önce dinleme güvencesiyle!

——————

In the late 1970s, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecrafts launched by NASA had one ‘Golden Record’ on board each.

In these records, there were images showing the cultural diversity and life on earth along with natural sounds and human-made music: From ‘Johnny B. Good’ to wedding songs of Peru…

Following the lead of Voyager Golden Records, Özgün Çağlar’s “Katibim Records” is on air every Wednesday at Radio Modyan to present modern and folk songs of the communities of the world, mixing avant-garde with psychedelic and the old-fashioned mainstream.

An inter-genre ‘voyage’ spanning from former Soviet territories to Latin America, Levant region to Asia. Opportunity to listen prior to aliens guaranteed!

Sometimes in life things fall into a perfect circle. One such example is the project ‘HIND’ by acclaimed Swedish Grammy nominated musicians Sebastian Mullaert and Henrik Frendin, constituting the pinnacle of over 40 years of combined research and creative explorations in the space of contemporary electro-acoustic music. 

The first encounter between the two was back in 2006 at the Malmö Academy of Music. Following an illustrious career in the electronic dance music scene, Sebastian received support from tastemakers like Mixmag, FACT, Electronic Beats and Crack and nominated twice for Swedish Grammy both for his solo work and under his Minilogue project. He was voted in the “Top Live Acts In The World" by Resident Advisor, for his awe inspiring performances touching all corners of the globe form Boiler Room, through Berghain and Fabric. Mullaert became interested in returning to his roots as a classically trained musician, seeking novel ways of integrating classical and electronic music, culminating in his stunning “Natthall” LP with Zurich Philharmonic Orchestra which featured in the BBC Music Magazine “Top 10 Post Classical Albums” of 2020.

Meanwhile, Frendin was touring internationally promoting his solo album ‘Viola con Forza’ (2004), nominated for a Swedish Grammy in the category ‘Classical solo’, at that time already considered one of Scandinavia´s leading violists.

This album was a compilation of works by leading Swedish composers, all pieces dedicated to Frendin. To meet his vision of expanding and developing the sound palette of an electro-acoustical string instrument, a new amplified string instrument called Electric Viola Grande, built, and created by Richard Rolf, was constructed especially for him. This unique five-string viola set a new standard of authentic sound and design in the field of electro-acoustical instrument making. Frendin´s first appearance on stage with the new instrument was at a performance in Wiener Concerthaus as a feathured solo artist at “Lange Nacht der Neue Klänge”.
Naturally, this sparked Mullaert’s interest, so he enrolled for private lessons with the viola professor Frendin.

Fast forward to 2024 and the pair reunited for the resulting ‘HIND’ project, with the main inspiration and starting point nature, and it was an up-close experience with a baby wild deer and its protective mother while they were both meditating in the woods from which the album takes its name. “Almost getting showered by the beauty of nature – it was quite a magical moment that has never happened to me before or anyone else I know for that matter,” adds Mullaert.

Across ‘HIND’, both Mullaert and Frendin’s creative practises and different musical backgrounds are taken to a new level of technical and artistic achievement. Album opener ‘Dawn’ peacefully unfolds – the sun comes up, the darkness clears – while the sprightly ‘Stepping Stone’ and album title track ‘Hind’ elegantly use melody, rhythm, and harmony; a result of a series of long takes in which Frendin’s playing is processed, looped, and warped in real time by Mullaert, with Frendin adding real-time string layers through improvisation and Mullaert performing multilayer looping.

We Are Not Divided by Anna-Margarita. Sound design by Ross Burns.

This was a collaboration between 2 BBC talent development schemes - Sound First and Words First - “collaborate to create new sound-worlds of spoken word and sound design”.

I admire Anna's effortless ability to weave her family’s personal story with the political history and conflict in Cyprus whilst communicating her own thoughts. In my opinion, Anna’s words carry so much power and her message of unity is increasingly becoming, if not arguably the most important message to the world at the moment - it was truly an honour to sound design her poem.

Does chill dub techno exist?

This week I switched back around to a trusty mackie 1202 and my original scarlett 2i2. All sounding really good. A little noisy, but who cares these days.

Started with a 57 on all the birds outside this am. Added a cr-78-ish beat via the tr6s. Arp from the mopho. Fed these thru the mackie with boss delay and reverb on the aux channels. Added bass guitar, some almost dub chuck keys (analog), shimmer strat, and farted around w/ the new akai dub siren plug in.

Nice mix of analog, live instruments, and the computer!

This is the story of a river. Not just any river, but a very special river. One that has been given the same legal status as a living, breathing human being. In this episode of Bang & Olufsen’s Sound Matters podcast we meet the documentary film and audio maker, Rikke Hout, and travel down the Whanganui River in New Zealand. The Whanganui is one of the longest rivers in the country, and in 2017 was given the same legal identity as a person due to its importance to the region’s indigenous Māori people. Sit back, immerse yourself in sound, and float downstream into nature come alive.
