This is a compilation of parts from recordings I made when creating patches for the OB6 synthesizer. I recorded much more, but edited down to the the best bits. There are no additional effects or processing. All effects are from the synth itself.

DISCLAIMER: There is no particular musicianship in these demos. They were recorded whilst patching mostly with one hand on the keyboard and the other hand tweaking knobs. The purpose of uploading is to give an idea of the tone, sound and character of the OB6 as explored by one sound designer.

As the transient summer solstice has reached its peak we now stand on the summit of life as our nurturing mother is beaming with bliss and exuberance. The slumbering winter cold feels like a distant myth as light reigns our northern lands. We are pleased to honor this joyful moment by presenting to you and the divine Sun our tenth elixir.

'Skärvor av din helhet skimrar genom allt' [transl.. 'Shards of your wholeness shimmers through everything'] by Toffes Värld (formerly known as Kris Dubinsky) is a tale in which familiar environments are permeated by mystery as a crackling perception of reality awakens from the campfire. When the winds arise, our sails rise with it, taking us drifting deep into ourselves while the fire struggles to keep us warm and safe. But the winds are strong.

As we are washed up at the end of the river, exhausted by the long and uncanny journey that took us so far beyond, we're received by the comfort of our rising sun. Rising with it on to our feet we recognize suddenly where we truly belong and the memories of the bizarre vistas of yesterday will forever be there to remind us.

A. Bortom [09:24 - transl. 'Beyond']
B1. Nära Elden [05:26 - 'Near the Fire']
B2. Soluppgång i den lilla dalen [07:33 - 'Sunrise in the little valley']

The release is scheduled for release under the July full moon. We hope that you will all enjoy the journey and perhaps find something to cherish along the way to the shore.

A happy midsummer passing to all of you,
Love and light.

Shimmering Moods @ Resonance Extra #36

A few months ago, I sat in the Lett Records office to work on a charity project for our beautiful planet. As some of you already know, I'm a lover of nature and animals, and I really suffer when I see for all these years how our planet is treated. And the "Earth" project was born...

This project is to bring together all the artists that I can like musically on the same compilation, with no deadline or precise release date, since the songs will be added as they are, to create a compilation that will allow donations to be donated on a quarterly basis to the Rainforest Action Network (www.ran.org).

Mysteries of the Deep is delighted to present its second album by Portland, Oregon-based musician and multimedia artist William Selman (@wselman), entitled “Naming Before Names.” In a world that demands categorization of everything around us through taxonomies, genres, and strict schemas, Selman’s album aims to explore the spaces between categories. His goal is not to offer concrete explanatory gestures, but rather, to create a deliberate space for suspension and ambiguity. These eight compositions conjure a world in which humans are asked to stand on the periphery, observing their surroundings from a vantage of curious wonder, rather than clear definition.

Selman draws from distinct sonic realms, however, citing David Berhman, Maggi Payne, and Alvin Curran as influences. He says, “I like the way these artists use simple forms to ground dense compositions with an approach to composition that is improvisational and collage-like.” In line with this sentiment, the album’s quality is uncannily natural. Many of Selman’s field recordings, collected over a twenty-year period, find a home here, adorning a landscape that’s as visual as it is sonic; we hear hydrophone recordings of tide pools and summer lagoons, grasshopper wings in a lava field, broken humidifiers and sandstorms alongside moments of intentional instrumentation. Light vibraphone gives way to slow hand drum movements. Textured synths add viscosity without extracting us from the ecological world. It feels inaccurate to say the album’s occasional rhythms are constructed; rather, patterns seem to arise organically out of the aether. In Selman’s universe, there’s a sense that everything exists in primordial unity, untouched by the human imprint that insists on fragmenting the world into recognizable parts. 

Written, produced, and recorded by William Selman in Portland, Oregon Jan 2018 - Feb 2020
