"We could say that a name can evoke a particular style, a genre, a type of beat or podcast. But what if we suddenly discover that this name is a chameleon? A reptile that can quickly change the colour of its skin to adapt to the place where it is. How fitting is the saying: appearances can be deceiving. Welcome deception!"

nueen’s (@nueen) sound drifts through a luminescent and recurring warm atmosphere, endlessly fluidic with delicate pads, indicating an aesthetic influence of the sun, light and mysticism, drawn from his native Mallorca. Nueen’s releases, for labels like Good Morning Tapes (@goodmorningtapes), C minus, Quiet Time Tapes (@quiettimetapes) and APPX (@appendixfiles): showcase a new Balearic rhythmic sound, fusing ambient with echoes of digitally constructed dub-techno.

We can barely contain ourselves as we finally reveal this truly very special chapter of our Podcast Series to you today, conjured up by none other than our very dear friend and the mastermind visionary behind our visual identity, Marco Maldarella 🌸

Marco is a multimedia artist and sound-maker living and working in Bologna. When we were just starting to develop Introspective Electronics, it made sense to reach out to him and see if we could together materialise the vision we had for this new platform. Little did we know that Marco’s contribution would be so symbiotic with the music and become such a fundamental part of who we are now. And we are so grateful it turned out this way 💛 

Apart from his work with visual media, Marco is a DJ and one half of the experimental electronic duo MARMO with Christian Duka. We were lucky to be able to release a powerful podcast by the pair last year which has since been remodeled into an LP soon out via the London-based Utter. Look out for this one!

This mesmerising one hour journey seems to take its roots in the haze of days long past, a fragile trembling presence slowly emerging from the soils to meet the sun and mankind. Then ~ in patient harmony its stems and branches grow through time and finally take shape as indigenous music with diverse brushstrokes of modernity weaved in. A seamless flow of emotions rushing from and through and into is the anchor of this mystery-soaked pilgrimage ✨ 🌚🌝✨

Jacob Long has been crafting Earthen Sea material since the early 2000s. He gradually graduated from limited-edition cassettes to releases on Ital's Lover's Rock and Nicolas Jaar's Other People imprints, before linking up with the evergreen label Kranky in 2017. His third album for Kranky, Ghost Poems, comes out next week. We celebrate with an hour of music built as spring emerges around him in Brooklyn, full of contrasts between light and decay.

Capping off a strong run of guests on Bright Patterns is a collaborative set by brothers Karl & Ken Meier. Though these exceptional humans are immensely talented as individuals, it’s an honor to hear them perform together and in this experimental, ambient zone curated for the morning. As cofounders of Standards & Practices with Jonathan Krohn (Stave), Karl and Ken will feature forthcoming music from their label, plus unreleased tracks on like-minded imprints such as Downwards and Monastral. Standards & Practices continues this year with new releases by Krohn/Mjolsness and Stave.

Bright Patterns with Karl & Ken Meier @ The Lot Radio 04 - 28 - 2022

Fun with multiple layers of distorted vocals 

Butterflies and Moths

The Phantom of Self is a ten-track reflection on dream, identity, and dissolution.
Includes Mirror in a Doorless Room — a new addition — and Implosion, previously shared only as a standalone SoundCloud experiment.
An inward journey where sound becomes memory, and memory turns to light.
