@nightmares-on-wax “I made this mix after my interview and conversation with Ralph Moore for Mixmag, and it's inspired by lots of the music and references we were discussing. I wanted to do a mix for Mixmag you wouldn’t usually get going through soul, funk, reggae, disco, R&B and house. All the songs are tunes I’ve been digging this past year during the pandemic. I had a lot of fun digging records for this mix and recorded it live in my studio The Other Ship in Ibiza.”

Tracklist

The Cover Mix: Nightmares On Wax

Not many producers can create new aliases after 10+ years and still manage to drop something completely unexpected and refreshing. 

Peter Rogers’ Wardown project did just that in 2020, debuted on the respected Blu Mar Ten label, the self-titled album found admirers from a cross-section of music styles; spanning Jungle, Drum’n Bass and a strong atmospheric element. Wardown / Wardown was consequently one of my most played and admired albums of the year (finding a sweet spot in my Reflection on 2020 mix of course). I found it near impossible to stop the album once it started, as it flowed easily between stories, styles, and sentimental reflection. 

Peter is now set to drop his second album under the Wardown alias, simply titled Wardown II, but those who absorbed the nostalgia from his first, will undoubtedly be confident that despite its modest title, the conceptual approach is as strong as ever, and the music will once again be left to do the storytelling. 

Continuing with this brilliant reflective approach from the first album, Wardown II can be considered another vivid capture of one of Peter’s undoubtedly many memories he has begun to create with this alias. And just like his productions, his isolatedmix is a natural extension of this approach. As is the case with many producers in this genre, DJ’ing is integral to the culture, so it’s of no surprise for us to be treated to a little bit of a masterclass with this latest installment…

Marco Lucchi & sevenism - Rainbowing (rain mix)

This month’s Bright Patterns is a special tribute to Norm Chambers, who sadly passed away in November from a rare form of sinus cancer. Norm released a prolific amount of material under his own name and several other monikers over the years, such as Panabrite, Jürgen Müller, and Spiral Index. Following a two-hour tribute for 2021’s No Way Back comprised entirely of Norm’s music, this edition of Panabrite Patterns features four talented artists who connected deeply with the unique world imagined within his productions. William Selman presents a mix of selections they shared as favorites. Joshua Davison created six original tracks with Norm’s sonic pathways in mind. Matthew Patterson Curry crafted an extensive soundscape inspired by the simplicity and freedom of Norm’s rich output. The final portion is a hybrid mix from Jonas Reinhardt, who released the first edition of “The Encyclopedia of Civilizations” with Norm under his Jürgen Müller alias.

For this challenge, I re-used the samples I made way back for Disquiet 0262 in 2017.  This time though, I processed the sample using the modular - One side of Lubadh playing the sample, the other echoing it, then Clouds and Rings both process it as well. I then played the faders on my mixer to create a track, that sounds quite warm for an ice bath!

In a nice synchronicity i'd already halfway completed the project before it was announced: i'd done an extended version of https://soundcloud.com/thereflectors/c-swells where i'd looped the track a few times (and added a bit of echo n blur in the middle) so that i could listen to it a bit longer

had it playing while i went through last week's tracks and it mixed well with https://soundcloud.com/benn-demole/swallowed-disquiet0189-tonelayer i liked the added bass and incidental sounds, so took a loop at the end of that and had that faded in and out throughout

for the glue i had the mix playing in the next room while i played along on my old technics electric piano and recorded through the mic on my mp3 player.. the idea was that some syncopation would blur the phasing a bit. unfortunately the recorder picked up the sound of me hitting the keys really loudly, and i didnt feel like redoing it so just had it lower in the mix but the clatter kind of helps a bit

Disquiet Junto Project 0190: Missed Connections
Set two disjointed loops atop each other, and then add sonic glue.

Last week’s project involved using loops to accrue layers. This week’s project involves layering loops. You needn’t have participated in last week’s project to participate in this week’s.

These are the steps:

Step 1: Choose two tracks from last week’s Disquiet Junto project. Be sure to use tracks that include a license that allows for non-commercial reworking. If you’re not sure, either choose a different track, or inquire with the musician. the project is here:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet0189-tonelayer

Step 2: From each of those two tracks, select one loop-able segment. Be sure the segments are of different lengths.

Step 3: Create a long string of each of the two loops from Step 2 by repeating them over and over. That is: make one long string of AAAAA… and make one long string of BBBBB…, where A and B are the two loops. (That is: Do not go ABABAB.)

Step 4: Layer the two tracks resulting from Step 3 for a single track of about one to two minutes in length.

Step 5: Add one element of your own to the result of Step 4 that serves to combine the two disparate loops into one composition.

Step 6: Record a document of these layered loops lasting approximately one to two minutes in length (longer is certainly fine).

Westy Reflector / Benn DeMole - C Swellowed (disquiet0190)

was at the spa yesterday. they had an aqua meditation room where the ripples of drips were projected/amplified on the ceiling. my partner thought the ripples matched the new age music but i thought it was just the brain forcing an arbitrary pattern. i was thinking about this project about sound waves bouncing off each other like ripples; and this is the sound i wanted to get across (couldnt record unfortunately, couldnt sneak phone in ..no pockets in the complementary robes)

i played the guitar thru podfarm with heaps of echo and delay all unsynced, not playing to a particular tempo.. following and ignoring the echoes variously / resolutely un-new age
then i put the recording thru izotope ddly to get more delays at different speeds

Disquiet Junto Project 0218: Sound Passage
The Assignment: Following the path of artist Kate Carr, explore sounds from a distance.

The artist and musician Kate Carr generously agreed to provide a prompt this week for the Junto.

Step 1: Consider the ways that sound changes as it travels across space, moving through specific human-built architectures and/or natural geographies. I live near Belfast’s major football stadium, and the roar that travels from the stadium, across the train tracks, up my street, and into my ears is a very different sound to the roar heard when standing in the stadium itself.

Step 2: Record a distant sound, and reflect on what frequencies have made it to your ears from the source, and which ones have bounced or decayed away.

Step 3: Compose a piece based on this recording, and your meditation on the ways its very journey to you has changed the sounds inherent in it.

Background: Kate Carr composes soundscapes based on field recording and non-conventional instrumentation to explore the relationship between people and place. Weaving together real and imaginary journeys , intensive explorations of sonic enclaves and the re-broadcast of sound in public places, her work is centred on both human and natural geographies.

full track https://hearthis.at/sevenism/tendentious/

i used acidrack and pressed the same key over and over again.
i had a heap of fx in ableton - ddly>podfarm2>feed me back>six string ambience>loop slippery
lots of echo, distortion .. 6 string ambience mulches things up a bit.. loop slippery added that beat

perfect project for me - i'm always adding way too much fx

'Halocline', another track taken from Saline Celestial by Sevenism, available on limited edition cassette and digital. 
More info and links to buy: www.naviarrecords.com/discography/se…line-celestial

“Saline celestial” brings together intricate soundscapes, haunting atmospheric textures and calming field recordings in an expressive, emotive and spontaneously deep concept album: close your eyes, and let the journey begin.

Sevenism - Halocline (NR001)

"Back in December of 2019, I was asked by the good people at BBC Radio 6Music to prepare a January 1st radio show. The brief was out of the norm, which appealed to me: they wanted a daytime show, and the theme was 'tender music for tender heads...' something to soothe the body and soul. It gave me a chance to air some favorites from the collection that I don't normally get to play. If the body and soul needed soothing then, it DEFINITELY needs it now. Enjoy!"- DJ Shadow
