SBTMP020 – We Beat A Different Drum [Previews]

What if reflections were to be lost into the dimness of our solitude?
What if shadows meandered thru an overcasted but hopeful landscape?
What if solace was to be found in a mirror of forgotten memories?

Recorded December 27th 2021 on Salt Spring Island.
Snowed in but warm inside. Wishing that you find what you need
here. Manuel

Goldmund - Sumi-E

this mix is the third of eight that have been used in a clinical setting by SABI Mind for over three years now. it has also been used by close friends and myself, many times over too ..over and over, as it was carefully designed for repeat use. to entrain to. to reach for as a reliable tool. for the purposes of meditation, clearing, unwinding, calming, relaxing, deepening, inner explorations & journeys, grounding, centering, focusing, resting, drifting, quieting, sleeping, transforming, transporting, healing and other related purposes.

it stands on it's own as a contemporary ambient mix and also fully functions in the sound wellness realms. it keeps the promise of holding space for the listener the entire time, without any blips or trips or artful overly expressive side-quests, just slowly and reliably modulating and evolving and unfolding.

'NEW 2022' is anchored & grounded in the current "now" and what is fresh 🌿 and what is next (from what current potentials exist). this comes with reference and acknowledgement of the history and stories that led to the present, and also looking to the future - conjuring good intentions and good direction setting (pathways & plans) from where the current placement is. many thanks and acknowledgements to the absolutely perfectly executed music made by all the artist's in the mix - a decent handful of them being local as well.

immensely happy to share this mix now, more broadly, with everyone. please enjoy, be well, and be good ❤️

it's called 'moving SHADOW' it digs a bit deeper into engaging with, and ultimately separating and clearing, shadow elements. it's not super heavy or intense in this way, it's somewhat subtle and the mix also still retains it's primary universal purpose of use - it's just one notch or two towards this specific goal (compared to the first mix).  many thanks and acknowledgements to the absolutely perfectly executed music made by all the artist's in the mix - a decent handful of them being local as well.

it's called classic abstractions because, it being the first mix in the series, we start at the beginning and honour the foundations and feelings of classic ambient music ..as we also abstract from them (staying present in the now, not just in the past). many thanks and acknowledgements to the absolutely perfectly executed music made by all the artist's in the mix - a decent handful of them being local as well.

immensely happy to share this mix now, more broadly, with everyone.

Souns - Untouched (taken from the forthcoming album Aquamarine). More Info: subtempo.com/aquamarine

Untouched is the first single from Aquamarine, the upcoming debut album by @Souns-3 , an ambient project by the well recognized Vancouver-based producer and dj Michael Red | @michaelred. With Souns, Red explores themes that are reflective of the natural world, the unseen world, outer space, and transcendence. Performances are largely intuitive and improvised, sometimes guided. The audio is an immersive world of deep sonic output, lucid introspection, and seemingly endless layers of sound. Typically there are no "drums" in Souns material, though there might be a detectable pulse. As heard on the first album track “Untouched," Aquamarine leaves an unmistakable mark on the listener, reverberating in the mind long after listening. The new album is out December 8th on Subtempo Records.

Favorite Quote: "Softness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a person is just born, they are weak and flexible. When they die, they are hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Pliancy and softness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win." Stalker (1979), dir. Andrei Tarkovsky

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Face the void within yourself: that is where you find your purpose. This void isn't something to be filled—it contains the entirety of being. In our complete insignificance in the scheme of the universe, we become significant for knowing and being ourselves, completely and uncompromisingly. This is the path of the greatest resistance and the greatest reward. Only you know what's best for you, so listen to and trust your gut feelings. Meet every challenge with self-empathy, and show that same empathy for others. You should never be expected to go it alone - this is a tragic myth preached by people too damaged and afraid to seek solace in themselves or to ask others for help. We must learn to love ourselves for our most honest efforts, and one another for trying to do the same. So please ask for help. Fully embrace yourself. Take a deep breath to remind yourself you're here. Then face the void.
