Guestmix from the distinguished artist: 'Terrestrial Access Network'! (@collinsullivan)

T.A.N hails from San Diego, California, where he has been crafting up some truly forward thinking atmospheric electro for some years now. This mix comes off the back of his debut album 'Enter the Network' which was released last month by the Austin based label 'Drofund Digs'. 

Collin, the artist behind T.A.N, kindly submitted this mix to the Sarcana series. We have been listening to Collin's music long before our idea for Sarcana was concieved - so to work with him to release this mix together feels like a nice progression in whatever journey this little project may take. 

Yielding to our love for 'moods not genres' - Collin describes this mix with the word 'Flash'. We think it suits the mood quite right - showcasing some of the songs he is currently listening to and gaining inspiration from. Enjoy :)

"Są jeszcze piękne wyspy niezjedzone przez kurorty i podróżniczych influencerów.  Gdzie nie ma ani jednego samochodu, szerokie plaże są puste, a w dżungli mieszkają  dzikie zwierzęta. Gdzie życie miejscowych płynie powoli, a każdy z nich dzieli się  uśmiechem z innymi. Czasem wieje bardzo mocny wiatr wyginający palmy i pada  gęsty deszcz, ucząc pokory wobec sił natury oraz przypominając, że nie jesteśmy  najważniejsi, ani bardziej wyjątkowi od innych stworzeń. Jednak przez większość  czasu słońce ogrzewa zarówno głowy, jak i serca, pozwalając odnaleźć harmonię, jeśli  tylko przestaniemy się bać i zaufamy światu wokół nas i samym sobie. Na jednej z  takich wysp znaleziono czarny kokos.  

„Czarny Kokos” to już czwarty album tajemniczego Flanera Klespozy." Tym razem  artysta odbył długą wyprawę, podczas której chciał w pełni oddać się tworzeniu  muzyki. Po kilku tygodniach tułaczki udało mu się odnaleźć wymarzony egzotyczny raj na jednej z tropikalnych wysp. To tam, w otoczeniu dżungli i szumu  morza, komponował i nagrywał nowe utwory. Tak powstał „Czarny Kokos”, na  którym oprócz muzyki elektronicznej usłyszymy również nagrania terenowe  uchwycone w podróży.

Dolly Parton was right, as usual, when she revealed that "it costs a lot of money to look this cheap". But who decided rhinestones were tacky in the first place? Style is a matter of taste, yet taste itself is a a matter of money, morality and identity, as the writer and critic Nathalie Olah reveals.

Olah's new book, Bad Taste: The Politics of Ugliness, is an expose of the industries of taste-making in an image-obsessed world, as well as a critique of the impact taste has on our sense of self-image and belonging. In this episode she talks to Eleanor Penny about the allure of minimalism, why posh people don't care about style, the evolving meaning of the hoodie and our right to eat supermarket pizza.

Embark on a sonic odyssey with Nervous Operator's latest album, "Psychic Diffraction," an audacious nine-track collection where the pulse of syncopated rhythms and psychedelic synthcraft meet the ethereal realms of ambient melodies and hypnagogic dreamscapes.

Forging a path that diverges from the digitally-centered composition of his last album, "Chronostasis" released on Dreamtone in 2021, Nervous Operator, who is based in Vancouver, embraces the raw energy and imperfections of live performance. "Psychic Diffraction" has its roots in two dynamic live PA sets, which served as the creative essence for the album. The original performances were recorded, only to be reworked through a studio process that refined and enhanced the compositions without sacrificing the spontaneous spirit of the live experience. Utilizing an impressive array of hardware, including an Octatrack, Rytm (gratitude to Josh Rose aka Derivatives for lending the device), Syntakt, and the Mopho, Nervous Operator ensures each track delivers a palpable and vibrant auditory experience that is tinged with tactile warmth.

“Psychic Diffraction” is also a homage to the influence Chicago, where Nervous Operator previously lived, had on the artist’s creative process. “Much of my inspiration came from my time in Chicago and the musicians and DJs I met through various shows and parties. I greatly appreciated the freedom of exploration and melding of genres”. As a result, the album boasts an eclectic blend of industrial, electro, breakbeat, and techno. “I always aim to create small ‘worlds’ for the listener to explore sonically and to layer textures in such a way that allows the listener to discover new elements on repeated plays,” Nervous Operator reflects. "Psychic Diffraction" indeed offers a multilayered auditory odyssey that becomes richer with each listen.

On Therapy, his gripping third collection for Imprec, Alexandre Bazin creates concise melodic electro-acoustic environments with ripping timbres, deep staccato sequences and a dramatic immediacy. Elements of classical, minimal techno, modular-ambient and drone music permeate this aptly titled album, Therapy, from Alexandre Bazin.

Bazin himself describes this album as "new experimental electronic music." Melodic progression, pulse and timbre play key roles in his delicately crafted work. Saturation and feedback permeate the sonic atmosphere allowing new fragments to emerge creating new melodies and tonal colors.

Bazin's sound suggests the presence of electric guitars, orchestras and acoustic instruments which are also present on this album. All but the first two tracks of therapy include acoustic instruments carefully placed in the mix.

Bersarin Quartett is not exactly comprised of a group of four people but is actually a project of a single mind that is of a  German electronic musician Thomas Bücker. I have been a huge fan of Bücker’s gorgeous compositions since his 2008 self-titled debut, which he released on Lidar. Four years later, he was picked up by the beloved Denovali Records, which has consistently appeared on these pages with their unique aesthetic that spans a variety of genres. And so I covered and praised this follow-up simply titled II, and then, in 2015, III, and then, in 2019, [finally] with a more memorable name, Methoden Und Maschinen. Suffice it to say that every single one of these releases ended up on my respective Best of the Year selections. So it should be of no surprise that I’m excited about Bersarin Quartett’s newly announced 5th album, coming out on December 15th [hey, journalists and bloggers, hit that pause on the publication of your favourites of the year!] titled Systeme. I’ve listened to the album many times now, and I can tell you that as an entire package, it brings together all my favourite elements of this particular contemporary genre and, of course, that of Bersarin Quartett’s. “While it still sounds popularly symphonic here and there, there are also many soundscapes that have an observing, almost unmasking effect.” This is particularly fascinating in Bücker’s more than successful attempt at electronic bass music, where he joins the ranks of another favourite musician of mine, Ben Lukas Boysen, seemingly blending neo-classical with neo-electronic styles, as will be evident in today’s exclusive track premiere.

TRACK PREMIERE : Bersarin Quartett - Neuronen

Jesteśmy polską wytwórnią muzyczną. Zajmujemy się przede wszystkim wydawaniem w formacie cyfrowym oraz promowaniem muzyki elektronicznej. Naszą uwagę przykuwają głównie utwory o ciekawych teksturach dźwiękowych i szerokich pejzażach ambientalnych.

Kochamy eksperymenty, analogowe syntezatory, taśmy i winyle. W muzyce szukamy utrwalonej codzienności i zwyczajnych momentów, jak i odległych podróży i niezwykłych historii. Czasami potańczymy, jednak dużo bardziej lubimy czytać z dźwięków.
