Ambient

Ambient side

My personnal works under the Ephere name.

As Ephere

Three tracks I played frequently at the time I was djing in techno clubs. I think it was produced between 2017 and 2019. A lot of things have changed today, and I think this will be my very last techno release under the Ephere alias, now mainly focused on ambient. "Nautilus" is a tribute to marine exploration, each piece taking the name of a species known for its curiosity:

Regalecus is the largest bony fish in the world, and known for centuries as a legendary animal.
Opah, or Lampris, is the only known fish capable of constantly maintaining its metabolism at a temperature higher than that of its environment.
Ctenophora are a group of strange planktonic, jellyfish-like animals, some of which have the ability to emit light to attract their prey.

Minimum price is 4, but you can choose to pay any amount. All of the incomes will go as a donation to the Sea Legacy association. www.sealegacy.org

The artwork is an analog picture by Elodie Poirier. Check out her works, this is stunning :

"Landscapes with a lot of texture and depth, of infinite transition. A pill of ether to be able to appreciate and be aware of all the energy that surrounds us. Black night. You contemplate from below the immensity above. The light of the stars allows us to glimpse the mist of your breath. You are alive.

- As long as the stars will shine bright through the night skies, the light will be our salvation."

Ephere is a French musician and sound designer. He is the founder of the Stellar Transitions (@stellartransitions) project, a label and podcast channel dedicated to the exploration contemplative music. Active on both ambient and techno scenes, his works are deeply inspired by the power of nature and spirituality, taking his influences from the sounds that the living feels.

HOCast #93 - Ephere

C# Tibetan Bowls With Binaural Beats (4hz And 2hz).  I added Binaural Beats at 4hz for the first 20 minutes and 2hz for the remaining set.

Binaural beats are a way of synchronizing your brain waves (which are measured in hertz) with the hertz of the binaural beat. The brain has a frequency following response which causes this to occur. This works best with headphones and is useful for meditation or relaxation. In this case I created three binaural beats. Each section is 10 minutes long and the beginnings are marked with the hits of the singing bowl. The tone is C 256 hz.

Here is an article from Wikipedia about Brainwave Entrainment:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwave_entrainment

The brainwave states (Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta) are listed on this page (scroll down to the table)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroencephalography

here's a basic rundown of the brains states:

Beta - 30hz-13hz - your normal awake state, in higher ranges or above 30hz you may be experiencing stress. In this case, you gotta chill!

Alpha - 13z-8hz - a relaxed and reflective state

Theta - 8hz-4hz - a very meditative state or getting drowsy and drifting off, if your sleepy)

Delta - 4hz and below - deep sleep or a very deep meditative state. Buddhist Monk's brainwaves have been measured in this state during meditation.

In the unlikely event that you experience any unusual physical or mental discomfort, immediately discontinue use.

Ephere - Therians [Sketchy Lines]

This track features Jenn Cornell playing the cello. (http://montanaskiesmusic.com) Jenn's cello composition was inspired by the Indian flute virtuoso, Hariprasad Chaurasia and a sonata of J.S. Bach. (specifically, the second mov't of sonata in Gm for cello and piano.)  The inspiration came together after we both went to hear the amazing Kirtan group Shantala, who further inspired us both with their indian classical instruments. (http://www.shantalamusic.com) The track contains a 4hz binaural beat and is based on the root chakra.  The base tone is C (128hz).

Binaural beats are a way of synchronizing your brain waves (which are measured in hertz) with the hertz of the binaural beat. The brain has a frequency following response which causes this to occur. These can help induce states of relaxation, meditation and help to relieve anxiety and stressed out states. This works best with headphones because binaural beats are panned hard left and right which forces the brain to synchronize the two tones.

This is one of the most remarkable sounding High Wall (Large) singing bowls that we've ever come across. We had the pleasure of recording this so we can share with you on such a day as Valentine's Day. Details are below:

11 1/4" Diameter; 
Double-Blue (the best of the best - the Stradivarius of singing bowls.
Fundamental tone:  C +10 Hz.; 1st (Root) chakra;
Rim tone: G -6 Hz.; 5th (Throat) chakra;
Hand-forged, mixed-alloy bronze;
Circa 17th Century;
Bowl type: "High-wall" 

Use headphones if you have them! It's well worth finding them and plugging them in.
If you have really nice speakers, then turn them up to a pleasantly loud level to feel the low note go through you.

Enjoy everyone!

These pieces are a reflection of an intimate work done over the last year, between October 2017 and September 2018, at a crucial moment of my life, when I was turned upside down by important events. During this period of emotional instability, I imagined these four elements, arranged chronologically, as particular phases who echoed each other. I consider this album as one of the most important creations I have done so far. These pieces were like a therapy for me ; in my introspection, they helped me find a way out and go forward. From now on, new horizons are emerging

Ephere - A Matter Of Time [KORNARION]

It always been one of my all time favourite piece of music. So here's my personal rework of the beautiful "Rhubarb" by Aphex Twin. I did it on sunday, 22th of march 2020, second day of spring, at home in Rennes, France. This is our first week of lockdown. The sky is grey, it's strangely quiet outside, as you can hear in the additional field recording in the track. Free download is enabled.

I would thank my very good friend Clément for this stunning picture. You can listen his gorgeous ambient mixes here at @qhosqhen and follow him on Instagram, @clement.fht.

With love, 

Pierre

Known for his releases on All Day I Dream and iconic sets at Burning Man's Robot Hearts stage, Hoj closes out our week with a dreamy Guest Mix.

Over two decades in dance music have made Hoj more than capable of living up to his reputation as a sonic storyteller. His cinematic sets explore the deep house landscape with a fervor that resonates through dance floors across the globe.

Close colleagues like Lee Burridge simply refer to his style as “Hoj house” rather than attempting to pin down its eclectic nuances. Although a longer road, staying the course of his artistic vision has paid off. In addition to a residency and landmark releases on Burridge’s All Day I Dream imprint, he now provides a platform for like-minded producers by way of their joint venture, Tale and Tone.

An extensive background in the visual arts set Hoj (pronounced with a long Ō) on a path less traveled by the average DJ/producer. Born in Iran and raised in the Bay Area of the U.S., he grew up exposed to film and music alike. Prior to DJing full time his background was in film, design and new media. He was the brainchild behind All Day I Dream’s brand identity, coming up with the single cloud design.

Hoj also discovered electronic music early in life. He attended his first rave in San Francisco in the early 90s, and he experienced the inauguration of legendary warehouse venue Homebase. After DJing for a few years, he made his San Francisco debut at Qoöl Happy Hour, an event series that took place at 111 Minna Gallery.

Soon afterwards he got involved with outfits like Opel Productions and Spundae, which afforded him audiences at the city’s more prominent nightclubs. He went on to help build the inaugural Opulent Temple sound camp for the 2003 edition of Burning Man. He has performed annually at the transformative gathering ever since.

Upon moving to New York City in 2008, however, Hoj outgrew the category of local DJ. Each passing year after that point brought bigger milestones and more momentum.

After his set on the Robot Heart art car during the 2010 edition of Burning Man, he was booked at the world-famous Berlin nightclub Berghain’s Panorama Bar. 2011 saw Lee Burridge launch All Day I Dream to serve the dual purpose of a record label and event brand, and he enlisted Hoj as a resident DJ of the latter. Since then Hoj has brought dance floors to life across the globe. Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City account for much of his fan base, but his following has also grown significantly in locations like Canada, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, Dubai, Romania and London.

2017 marked two especially groundbreaking turning points for Hoj: His long-awaited debut as a producer and the unveiling of he and Burridge’s new record label, Tale and Tone. The label features music the founding DJs play at night, unique tunes with both story and groove. Around the same time, his own Telefade EP, released on All Day I Dream. The three-track EP included “Leap Day” as well as a remix of the title track by Bedouin. Hoj followed up Telefade with his own Tale and Tone release in 2018. Titled “Ramblefog,” it appeared on the imprint’s Prologue compilation, What has followed is more releases on both labels, and a touring schedule that has seen him deliver magic across all four corners of the globe.

While we are all experiencing the impacts of a global pandemic, it has been interesting to see the affects in which people engage with music. Be it singing together from balconies, watching live streams on social media or composing isolation songs, many of these new forms and repertoires bore witness to an underlying conviction about music’s ability to create and maintain social bonds, to show gratitude, to promote public health, and to escape from anxiety, boredom, loneliness, stress, and uncertainty about the future. I wish to thank the Flow Music Crew for expanding upon this. 
Music is a method of therapy and a means of accessing and stimulating specific cerebral circuits. As someone who has a music & neuroscience background, it has been very interesting to see music’s effects be put to the test. During times of spatial distancing, the role of music in social convergence has been strongly pushed to the forefront. There is a strong an association between musical creativity and psychopathology. I know we are all impacted in one way or another at present, so I hope this curation of music is somewhat therapeutic. I hope this set allows you to positively reflect whilst simultaneously escaping into your own ideal psychological state. After all.. Art history is the unfolding of subjectivity

It’s happening! AFTER ALL - who would have thought. The German producer duo „Überhaupt & Außerdem“ release their EP on the 10th of October under the extraordinary label, Baikal Nomads.

Überhaupt & Außerdem, Philipp and Andreas, children of the German reunification, born on different sides of the Berlin Wall. Twins - 50% east, 50% west. They initially bumped heads in the city of Tübingen as band members and promoters in the creative scene. Soon, they joined their longtime shared passion for electronic music and DJing, which quickly morphed into first independent productions.

Their style has since developed by plunging deeper into production techniques, contemplating the essence of musicality through external critique and constructive feedback - so far by renowned Artists as Solee, Dominik Eulberg and Björn Torwellen, amongst others. During the time of lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic they fully immersed into their creative work. The fruits of this time are now presented on the „After All“ EP which features the Canadian guitar prodigy Calum Graham and in addition comes with remixes by Deisen, Guy Maayan and Juliano Gomez.

Their sound might be perceived as downtempo with substantial attention to detail and complexity. It is sustained by an emotional touching spectrum of fluffy warmth to gloomy drive that never lacks attitude.

Later this year, you can expect more remixes, releases and podcasts among other content through Akasha MX and Katahaifisch.
 
Stoked to have our friend Calum Graham with us on After All. He originally composed "The Nomad" as a piece for guitar. You can find his original here:
