A State Of Mind

Hello friends!  ☯︎

Here's the recording of an ambient set I had the pleasure to play at Harvest Festival 2022 this fall. The gathering took place in a beautiful pine forest in Ontario and has been happening for over 20 years now.  

I would describe this set as Yin energy, a place where the rhythms are less dominant, which allows the storytelling to be experienced in a more calm environnement. It’s one of the most fulfilling moments that I felt in my music journey this year. 

In the sometimes chaotic and noisy world we live in, it feels somehow very healthy and natural to connect with these frequencies that are rooted, zen, earthy yet cosmic. A sonic safe space in which we can be present and breathe. 

Like my yoga teacher would say:  may the benefit of this session be shared with all beings in the world. 

Thank you for listening

Kora

Thanks and acknowledgements: 

  I want to acknowledge the recording of this set was done in Burk’s Falls Ontario, on aboriginal land that has been inhabited by Indigenous peoples from the beginning. In particular, we acknowledge the Anishinaabeg territory. 

Thank you to Justin, Angela, Hugues and all the Harvest community for creating a space to share this kind of music as a way to land the festival and ground ourselves. Thank you to the amazing participants who were there to listen and share the space with us! 

Super grateful for all the amazing artists, musicians and composers who created the songs I got to play in this mix. I also really enjoyed meeting Andrew Interchill during that weekend and discovering his amazing ambient performance on the same night.

  I’m thankful for Ashlee for joining me during that weekend and sharing some of those beautiful songs that she collected over the past year. She also took the cover art picture! x

Jacobus Derwort started exploring sonic soundscapes listening to his short-wave world receiver at the age of 12. There he would hear music from Africa, China, Japan, Indonesia, South America and beyond. He started playing guitar, piano, percussion and saxophone.

He met Hanyo van Oosterom in 1978 and they started the legendary cult rock band, 'The Jones'. Derwort was playing the sax, van Oosterom the drums. They started conducting sound experiments in Hanyo’s small cellar in the Dutch village of Krimpen aan den IJssel.

In the early eighties they made their first cassette, 'The Kallikatsou'. Hanyo started the ambient collective CHI in 1983. Jacobus was the first musician to join CHI. Together, they went to the magic rock “The 

Kallikatsou” on the island of Patmos, Greece. Here, Hanyo had stayed for months in a cave for some deep soul-searching. He heard the sound of CHI in the silence of the night like a message from out of space. Being together at the Kallikatsou they shaped the foundation of CHI, making handmade flutes from local bamboo and conducting field recordings of 
water, crickets, owls, goats, wind, etc...

Back home they asked Willem Cramer to join CHI, and later Michel Banabila. They released a legendary ambient cassette, 'The Original Recordings', in 1983 which soon became a collectors item. CHI stopped in 1987 (and still now nobody knows exactly why). Willem Cramer and Michel Banabila started the world music collective 'East Meets West' in 1989. Hanyo and Jacobus kept recording ambient soundscapes.

Jacobus was working on his 'Bamboo' recordings. Hanyo recorded the first tracks for 'The Kallikatsou Experience'.  Neither album was ever released. They returned a few times together to The Kallikatsou, but there the history seems to end...

…until decades later when Astral Industries located them after a long search, inspired by Rod Modell (Deepchord). The result was the vinyl release of CHI – The Original Recordings in February 2016. The album received great reviews and sold out in a few weeks. 

This inspired Hanyo and Jacobus to work on an old plan: remixing the old bamboo recordings. Most tracks were made in the eighties before and after CHI. Original tape recordings using mainly analogue sounds, percussion, samples and (of course)bamboo flutes and manipulated clarinets. Hanyo added some new recordings and remixed the old tapes in his Numoonlab Studio in Rotterdam. The result was 'The Bamboo Recordings', a timeless collection of ambient soundscapes. 

THE CHI FACTORY is the next step of CHI into the future. It will involve many future ambient collaborations. The next release will be 'The Kallikatsou Recordings'(Astral Industries 2016 TBA). Also bringing back the original line-up of CHI for new recordings is part of the plan. Who knows what may happen next.

The Bamboo Recordings have been produced and remixed by Hanyo van 
Oosterom. Original recordings by Jacobus Derwort. 

Jacobus Derwort: bamboo flutes, clarinet, guitar, samples, loops, saxophone, 
percussion, field recordings.
            
Hanyo van Oosterom: piano, bass, guitar, percussion, flute, samples and drones.

The Bamboo Recordings contain voice samples from around the world, 
including Tibetan monks, Sufi chanting, a Hopi elder, a Hopi woman, Fulani storytellers, a Japanese girl singing, Spanish and Greek children, excerpts from Gratitude For The Gaze by Nikos Eliou and much more...

Thanks to: Nikos Eliou, Ario Farahani, Noel Summerville, Theo Ellsworth, Michel Banabila, Thomas Bouvy, CHI.

In memory of Michael Ladraque Jacobus, who plays his legendary Fender Stratocaster on 'Life Is Like' and 'Birds'.


Part One

Part Two

Inner Peace, World Peace. 24 X OM chants by Johann, overtone singing from Chis, who also weaves his bansuri flute around the OM's and over the atmospheric ambient pads (that includes a Tibetan monk synth :-)). We overdubbed a brief sound journey at the end. 

This was to be a central track for one of our main live yoga music projects, to chant with groups of people for inner transformation, for outer change.

This is an inner sound journey with acoustic guitar, plucks, abstract sounds and backing vocals.
It's warm, soft and comforting. 

The One Substance is
The mother of all things,
She has many names,
None of which can touch her
