Seven Years @ The Chi Factory

Coming from Japan and living in Barcelona the last five years, Kazumi Sakoda is a curious artist who investigates the differences she finds with the soundscapes of her native Tokyo through the sounds she picks up on the streets of Barcelona.

All this material, she transforms it into cassettes that she makes by hand and through a fine use of looping and sampling techniques she recontextualizes into beautiful soundscapes that travel between ambient and experimental music.

She said in El Prat Radio 91.6 FM: "After the pandemic, everything has changed and people are more sensitive than beforehand. The feelings are stronger than before because we know what is the most important thing in life, what to feel. That is why on the same street there is a quite different experience from before the pandemic.”

Deep Breakfast 229 ~ Alberto Iniesta

To dream in jazz

is to become jazz.
Close your eyes and listen—
go to where jazz becomes life.
When your eyes reopen,
you’ll become jazz—
your words will sing the blues.

For the seventh installment of our Identity formation listening sessions, we are happy to announce @hems. Hems is a London-based producer and record collector, usually creating Ambient music with experimental sonic elements. 

This episode's style is very different from what hems usually plays. That said, it is not less amazing: the 1-hour listening session invites us on a journey which combines Jazz and electronic soundscapes. The result is a multi-facetted composition, ranging from calming beats, to versatile melodies and trippy vocals. Hopefully, you enjoy it as much as we do!

We thank hems for contributing to our newly established platform, the trustful and enriching communication and wish the best for the further journey as an artist.

As always, if you like the podcast, please don’t forget to give it a Like, Comment and/or Repost, to support both our community and the artist. If you have questions regarding the mix, you’re always welcome to contact us. Enjoy the journey!

Conscious Listening Mix Series - 19 -  Moon Patrol

We are very happy to be able to bid farewell to this year of Introspective Electronics with a deeply personal podcast recorded by the sonic enchantress and a dear friend ~ Amanita 🕊️

Amanita is a DJ and event ptomoter based between Bologna and Berlin. She co-runs the forward-thinking collective and party series Sinestesie in Bologna and across Italy, bringing off-kilter programming to the somewhat homogenous scene of her home city. Alongside her music work, she often works as a stage designer with the Googy Cult project. For Anita, ambient represents the most spiritual part of her sound and soul. It’s where she finds a safe haven and where she always returns when she needs to heal and find inspiration both in music and in life 🔮

This journey, just shy of an hour, was recorded in Anita’s studio in Berlin on a four deck setup and includes some of her most close-to-the-heart records, some of which have been with her since day one. It is a deeply captivating and emotional piece of ambient storytelling, a fairytale of sorts, that hums and crackles and sparkles. That whispers in your ears ancient tales of forest fairies and magick rituals 🧚🏻‍♂️

Podcast Series 40 | Amanita

First sketches for a collab with Radboud Mens from 2018, that did not make it to the final album "Transition Recordings" (Astral Industries 2021). It was a bit "too funky" for Astral but still too nice not to share. I never did the overdubs i had in mind....

Discogs gives the final album a rating of 4.9 (out of 5). Great to see so many people love these final recordings, my first after the loss of my best friend and soulmate J. Derwort, bless you. I believe the outtro is a wonderful 4th world scape that i almost forgot, but still love a lot. 

We are working now on a brand new album called "Son Of Chi & Radboud Mens - Transcending Recordings" to be released in 2024 TBA. Looking forward!

Boomkat on Transition Recordings:
"Astral Industries’ fave Hanyo van Oosterom (The Chi Factory) re-enters the label’s orbit in duo with fellow dutch ether explorer Radboud Mens for a minimalist but lush ambient trip".

"Following the 2019 death of The Chi Factory’s J. Derwort, ‘The Transition Recordings’ see Hanyo continue to expand the group’s legacy, looping in explorative sound artist and producer Radboud Mens to assist in unfurling his vision of diaphanous pads threaded with silvery solo piano keys, murmuring ether voices and mesmerising touches of Hassellian 4th world wind".

"In combination they cultivate a sort night garden sound full of sensory inference and esoteric suggestion, where sounds synaesthetically take on both visual and olfactory symbolism but never fully reveal their whole shape, kept in a state of transient impermanence or ephemerality that totally seduces the horizontal and plays out on the back of one’s eyelids".

Juno on Transition Recordings:
"Newcomers to Astral Industries have happened upon the label at a great moment here. Hanyo van Oosterom is continuing the fantastic work he was involved in with J. Derwort under the Chi project name following the latter's death in 2019. Now producing under the moniker Son of Chi, it's an extension rather than a repetition of what has come before it".

"Tonal vocabulary expanded, it feels more immersive and grander than ever before, and yet retains the fundamentals that first enraptured us. Organic instrumentation and the sense of falling ever deeper into dreamlike states of consciousness are just two ways of describing what both Chi and the new offspring concept bring to the table. These are new sonic worlds opening up before our mind's eye, packed with mystery, lamentation, and hope for tomorrow'.

Sounds of Stillness is On the 5th Day's podcast series dedicated to the beauty of stillness and calm, through which we can expand our consciousness and deepen our connection to the universe, and to one another.

More simply, it’s dedicated to the preciousness of hitting pause - of creating valuable time out for ourselves - and the infinite possibilities that come from doing so.

The demands of daily life and of the roles, responsibilities and labels we adopt, together with the endless stream of thoughts flowing through the mind can all too easily drown out the innate calm and tranquillity within. We can get carried away in the busyness, overwhelmed by the pressures and attached to our fears. We become our thoughts.

Yet through true stillness, we can rediscover the path to our inner sanctuary, to the secrets of the soul, to the rhythms of the universe, to our creative energy, and to our healing. We can re-connect and re-energise.

Sounds of Stillness is your vessel to this inner peace, calm and serenity, guided by sonic stories woven together just for you by a host of inspired creators from around the world.

Whether for meditation, the soundtrack to helping you unwind or for quietening the mind so you can tap into your creative flair, we hope you’ll find the series soothing, grounding and rejuvenating.

Before settling into each story, we recommend setting an intention for yourself, something like “I dedicate this time to myself and to my inner peace and calm. I let go of all the pressures and responsibilities of the day and gently focus my attention inwards.” Then get comfortable… take a handful of slow, deep breaths and surrender to the sounds of stillness.
