The latest edition to the series is a mix I recorded a few weeks ago sat in a cosy yurt at 10AM on a sparkling sunny morning in North Wales. Thanks so much to Eddy from Neighbourhood Cotch for having me play on his stage at On-Kilter, a small boutique festival set in a beautiful green estate. 

This was the first ambient set I played in person post-lockdown, and it was magical to hear this music on a big soundsystem again, and to feel it drifting out over the hills and through the ancient oak trees. To me, this music is always best experienced in nature, especially in the summer, so I'm glad to have had the chance to situate it there. Hope you enjoy this nearly 2.5hour long drifty journey ☀️🌳🍄

Sybil ~ Deep Mind Music Vol.17

An absolute treat for number fifty-two from Tbilisi based @saphileaum .The talented producer with a knack for percussive, minimal rhythms recently released an incredibly dreamy EP via @goodmorningtapes. Prior to that Andro has put out an impressive string of releases which have garnered international attention, via labels like  Silent Season, Oslated and more.

This mix is a beautiful showcase of Andro's ability to mesmerise through music... complex and intricate rhythms wound together in a relaxing and sublime manner. 

Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.

Thanks again Andro!

Up next in our mix series is Berlin based Dutch-Italian recording and performing artist Grand River (@grandriver). Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Aimée. In the musical landscape nowadays it often seems to be all about the final result (or product even) rather than the process and path before it. With your music it feels that it's more about the process of making rather than the final outcome. Where does your profound interest for experimenting with audio and composing come from?
 
GR: Nice to hear that you see it that way and to know that it may be perceived like this from the outside as well. The work itself and how we experience the process is what matters most. It’s not always easy to be mindful about how everything is created along the way. The end result or end product is important, but if you don’t enjoy the process of how you get there, I don’t think it makes much sense to even undertake the journey. And of course this applies to many aspects of life.
 
MFM: You've got a rich experience in doing technical work for and at radio stations and with other kinds of media. Did you have someone to teach you all the ins & outs of audio and technical production?
 
GR: Most of the technical work I learned directly through working as I did not go to any audio school to study sound design or audio engineering. When I started to work as an audio engineer for radio stations and other media outlets 13-14 years ago, there were not many audio schools like there are now. Back then, the people I worked with were mainly composers that had learned audio engineering on their own, just as I had. However, as a child, I was formally taught music theory and musical instruments. That, of course, came long before the technical work.
 
MFM: Your first official release dates are from 2017 but you had been active with experimenting, composing, and recording for a much longer time already. At what point did you find yourself confident and pleased enough to share your productions with the outside world?
 
GR: When I moved to Berlin in 2015 I took the first few years to research and study the sound I wanted to express and felt a connection to. Long before that, I was building and playing other genres. It takes time to find your sound and style, and the interesting part is that it continues to evolve over time. Even when you think you’ve found it, it still changes slightly.
 
MFM: Do you go to the studio religiously, regardless of whether you feel inspired or motivated? Do you have a certain routine when working in the studio?  
 
GR: I don’t go to the studio religiously, at least not to make music. 
I do work every day, but often I am just sitting in my studio listening to music, writing emails, or having meetings. Many people don’t know how much work is behind a project. From the outside, what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. I mostly compose in phases; I might compose a lot for two months and then the next month I will be focused on researching, or preparing a live show, recording a mix like I did for you, or creating a sound installation. I need time to absorb what I compose and let it rest, and then get back to it.
 
MFM: Are there any new projects that you're working on and can share with us? 
 
GR: I am working on several beautiful projects at the moment. This year I am working on different collaborations of which the releases will follow in the near future. I have a new album coming out either at the end of the year or beginning of 2023. I am currently working on an immersive installation and I will also be premiering a new AV show with the visual artist Marco Ciceri this summer.

Sundays are for... Grant Aaron

Recorded live on a Sunday morning at Otsukimi festival in Hakuba, September 2022. 

Beautiful music for a beautiful setting. One of my favourite sets in recent years.

Otsukimi 2022

Since 2014, UK-based label, https://soundcloud.com/astralindustries have been responsible for some of the most enlightening and entertaining releases of recent years. Their output has helped otherwise forgotten or out of print music see the light of day, provided new takes on previous classics, whilst also pushing forward new music by some of the most well-respected artists within the ambient genre. 

Debuting with a release by dub-techno legend DeepChord in 2014, Astral Industries went on to release Wolfgang Voigt's live project, Rückverzauberung Live In London in 2015.  In 2016 they followed with a 1985 recording from disbanded dutch collective Chi - a timeless and undoubtedly classic record, whilst in the same year pitching Wolfgang and Deepchord together for the very first time, with reinterpretations of Peter Michael Hamel's classic, Colors of Time. By then, and combined with the continually brilliant artwork of Theo Ellsworth, we knew that Astral Industries was a label with staying-power, and a growing catalog of releases worth collecting - be it just for the framed artwork, or moreover, the complete music package. 

In 2017, we've seen an LP by Heavenly Music Corporation, aka Kim Cascone (likely encouraged by the recent re-release of his own label Silent Records), a third LP by The Chi Factory, and then just last month a beautiful album by Waveform Transmission (Rod Modell of DeepChord and Chris Troy), with a sublime follow-up album, a massive 20 years after their first. 

The man behind the Astral Industries machine, Ario is a proven expert at plucking obscure gems from the past, or ensuring that good music gets the platform and artistic presentation it deserves. In just a few years, Ario has curated a highly respected and anticipated label roster that demands attention, and has yet to disappoint. The music is always gentle, deep and often extremely vivid, be it deeply hypnotic ambient, or gentle murmurs of dub-techno. 

With curatorial talents like this, we're overjoyed to host an exclusive 2hr+ mix of Ario digging into his record collection, and interlocking a few select exclusive Astral Industries bits in-between. It's one hell-of-a hypnotic journey and just like the Astral Industries releases, deserved of your full undivided, escapist attention.

Long-time resident of The Labyrinth (Japan, @mindgameslaby), Hiyoshi’s vivid, contemplative ambient mixes draw together musical elements from a diversity of sources, yet retain a rare purity of emotion and atmosphere.

With Patterns of Perception 33 Hiyoshi aims to capture the essence of his most affecting sets of the past year, including at Sound Garden, Labyrinth, and One party, while also paying respect to friends and artists who’ve mentored and supported him.

The result is a lucid, ethereal selection, a dance in the diffuse sunlight, on the surface of the lake, always hinting at the depths below.

"This No Way Back stream was the first time I’ve performed a set from my home studio. When I was first planning this set, before the pandemic really hit hard, I had kind of a different idea in mind. I was planning something more sample-driven, less melodic. And although I would’ve deeply preferred to be in Detroit for No Way Back in-person under normal circumstances, the fact that I ended up performing from my studio meant I had all of my synthesizers there to use, including the larger ones that I don’t normally have in my live rig like the Prophet-6. I decided to take advantage of that, and the resulting set took kind of a different turn. This set includes some of the music that’s coming out later this year on my album with Mysteries of the Deep. I hope you enjoy."

Chris, what happens in the theatre's lobby?

"Many are distracted,
But a few are not,
These are the ones 
who hear the details, 
notice the nuances.
It is there, in the air.
