This month's mix comes from Ipek Gorgun, a genuinely multi-talented artist from Istanbul in Turkey. She's on my radar because of her wonderful music, but she's a PhD candidate in sonic arts who's got an MA in philosophy, as well as being a published poet and photographer. She took part in RBMA Tokyo in 2014, and has composed work for film and recital halls alike. Her debut album Aphelion came out this year, a striking body of work that falls somewhere between chilling ambient and electroacoustic menace.

This mix came through with no blurb, just a tracklist, and features a huge range of music, from metal and drone to Night Slugs (via Toronto), Cretan lute, minimalism and more. Most lovely to me was Vincenzo Zitello's 'Urdh', but I'll leave it there. Enjoy.

Bandcloud Mix - June 2016 - Ipek Gorgun

New mix! This one comes from Kev Cahill, the man behind the wonderful Power Moves Library. Initially a "Label", it switched the Library late last year. The releases are all on tape, limited run, and downloads are free. My favourites have been from Missing Organs (him again), Sealadder and Nate Scheible. Kev also writes fascinating free-form thoughts on music at Rotational Review. This mix is weird and great. He accompanied it with a small amount of text, and provided the above image. Thank you Kev! 

"First ten or eleven minutes is a collage of unreleased and newer recordings from my Running Point and Downer Canada projects. The pieces sit nice together in a free-flow way, though maybe a hair on the downer side. The microcassette recording of Clifford Brown and Max Roach's ‘Daahoud’ is especially lo-fi but I think it fits.

"Then I mixed some vinyl continuing with the collage-motif, mind the crackle. It jumps into some folk/country slow-down blues and starts off turtle-paced but deceivingly/sneakily catches a second wind.

"Hang in there. First thought was best thought. Really hope you enjoy."

Tracklist:

Bandcloud Mix - July 2016 - Power Moves Library

This one comes from Wonja (@wonj), who you may remember as being a regular stand-in contributor in my absence. Based in Oakland CA, she's a DJ/producer who loves to dig. She contributed a track to the Bandcloud compilation in 2014, and to be honest I'm not sure why I never asked her for a mix before now — her Wood Glass Metal series is sublime — but there you go. This one covers a huge range of stuff: current bangers from John T. Gast ‎and Equiknoxx, blissful 80s gems from Japan, eclectic in the best way possible. It drifts and moves like a perfectly varied collection of short stories.

Bandcloud Guest Mix — September 2016 - Wonja

"Thanks to Aidan for the invitation to contribute to his excellent mix series, and for his patience as I cycled through four different iterations each time I changed my mind about theme, concept and tracklist. The idea to focus on soundtracks came from the inclusion of Max Richter and Symmetry in version 2, then watching Interstellar and finishing the amazing game Inside that subsequent weekend. All are represented here, as are various other modern film compositions, a handful of similarly atmospheric game soundtracks and a couple from older, Eighties film scores that are not as celebrated as the likes of Carpenter and Vangelis but are in my opinion no less excellent.  

"I tried to steer away from anything too obvious (hence no Vangelis or Carpenter), and draw only from films and games I have personally watched/played, even if not necessarily "enjoyed" in the strictest sense (hello Lost River). The end result is something I think pretty well captures a broad swathe of my personal tastes in film, music and gaming, all of which I am more than happy to geek on about interminably. I hope you enjoy it."

This free-form mix comes from Daryl Worthington, who releases music as https://soundcloud.com/beachers. Based in Riga, Beachers makes drifting, droning music that's not quite ambient. I featured a track from his tape for J&C Tapes on my recent(ish) mix for Spool's Out. Speaking of which, Daryl also runs the https://soundcloud.com/bezirk-320997557 label with Spool's Out's Tristan Bath, putting out cassettes by artists like Delphine Dora. He's also recently released music as part of the duo Ibal Zeb. 

His mix features some great music released on tape and other formats, a wide-ranging collection of electronic stuff, reflective of Bandcloud's own broad remit.

Blue touch paper
Hanging down the JSA breathin in your vapors
Looking out the wise words
Searching for a sensei
But I find Emilia,
burn blue, psychedelia."

Burn Blue (feat. TwoBob)

These songs are about the roads less travelled.

Walk them with us.

-----------------------------------------------

There they stood, ranged along the hill-sides, met
To view the last of me, a living frame
For one more picture! in a sheet of flame
I saw them and I knew them all. And yet
Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,
And blew. ``Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came.''
