For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

It would seem that you have returned for another offering from the audible gods, this one (or any in the future) will not disappoint. Another special delivery from the blessed lands of Helsinki. The god behind it is Olli Koponen; a resident favourite of the local dance floors, he jumped at the chance to put something together that didn’t revolve around a 4 x 4 formula. 

He’s delivered a bit of masterpiece, expressing his knowledge of all things music in great detail. The mix reeks of passion and understanding, consistently evolving whilst the narrative remains strong, ebbs and flows of ups and downs. Dusting off all-time classics and seamlessly integrating Neo-classics, digging up old emotions and inciting new ones. There is a lurking, pulsating current that permeates this mix but never actually breaks the surface, a perfect demonstration in the art of restraint. Euphoria still exists, this is a gentle reminder of where to find it.

With purest delight, I'm so excited to welcome Pjenné of Passing Notes Radio & Companion (@companionmelb) for the latest episode in our series. Penny's curatorial expertise and long-standing dedication to the Naarm/Melbourne scene have established her as a pillar of the city's sonic landscape, and both her love of musical discovery and unmistakable influence are felt deeply from afar. 

Pjenné's mix is a enchanting trip through fields of wonder, equal parts honey and gossamer, moving and blissfully sublime. Tender hues paint the air while fervent warmth fills the aching heart. There are few selectors out there with a repertoire as consistently profound as Penny's, and yet one feels we've barely scratched the surface of what's to come. Thank you Penny!

A rumination on control and delay

THRUSND001 

We are pleased to present to you the first Space Cast Premier from one of our talented artists. Many of you will know him from his gorgeous release on Space Cast 004 as Tres Passings. Now, as an evolution of past monikers, forms and ideas - per sonar (@personar1) has emerged. The first release from this nascent project, ‘The River Runs from the Weather Maker’ is a visual and sonic pairing, intertwined in their creation and interaction.

As a composer, per sonar is in constant conversation with moving image, with either the visuals informing the sonic or vice versa. For The River Runs from the Weather Maker they were created in tandem using an audio-reactive visualiser as a compositional tool.

‘When I first started work on this piece, I selected sonic elements that produced the best visual response (which tended to be low frequency and/or percussive). After reaching the limits of visualiser as a stand-alone compositional tool, I continued working on the piece with the live visualiser running in the background. It ended up serving as real-time feedback for whenever I needed direction for a new layer or section.’

This release is a perfect display of the artist's antipodean exploration of the relationship between sound and vision, and the play of conventional hierarchies between them. This work is a dialectic between two elements, a back-and-forth exchange of sound and visuals, leading to a synthesis that transcends the individual mediums and gives rise to an engaging, multisensory experience.

The piece is grounded with an inkling of nostalgia. It begins with a gentle patter of watery notes and tender chords that echo throughout the track and unfurl with sonic fluidity. Instruments continue to seamlessly layer upon each other, delicately entwining until the tide changes, moving elsewhere for just a moment with a sense of unease, before resolving softly again as the water trickles away. The subtle use of found sounds and field recordings create a feeling of familiarity, without giving anything solid to grasp onto.

Similarly, the visual component is a clever play between abstract and representational imagery. Stirring memories of landscapes gazed through car windows on long drives overlaid with a kaleidoscopic pattern that flutters and sinks/syncs in and out of things we know and things we don't know. per sonar calls upon the visual narrative at key sonic moments which elicit echoes of memories, oneiric in nature, attempting to resurface.

The River Runs from the Weather Maker is now available for pre-order via Bandcamp, due for release on the 2nd of June.

Butter Mix #35 - Albrecht La'Brooy

Space Cast is a not-for-profit arts initiative that aims to connect and support local artists through a synaesthetic exploration of music and art. Space Cast was established in 2020 as a digital offering of curated visual art and sound collaborations and has since evolved into a showcase of events and exhibitions.  

Space Cast has a focus on ambient, downtempo and experimental music and abstract art. The project aims to explore ideas of space and stillness, connection, slowing down and the innate connection between two these two creative fields. 

Space Cast operates to support diverse and emerging artists financially, foster a creative community and facilitate thoughtful collaboration. Each visual outcome is available to purchase online as a limited edition print, with the profits going directly back to the artists.

Space Cast acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which we create, the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation and we pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.
