We're tumbling in and out of the haze again, swept up in an afterimage blur. Lying on the grass & breathing against the sky. I'm so happy to welcome Mallorca's @nueen (INDEX:Records, Good Morning Tapes) to the series, who channels the charged coastal air into a gorgeous sunset transmission I could stay and watch forever.

Up next in our mix series is Berlin based Dutch-Italian recording and performing artist Grand River (@grandriver). Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Aimée. In the musical landscape nowadays it often seems to be all about the final result (or product even) rather than the process and path before it. With your music it feels that it's more about the process of making rather than the final outcome. Where does your profound interest for experimenting with audio and composing come from?
 
GR: Nice to hear that you see it that way and to know that it may be perceived like this from the outside as well. The work itself and how we experience the process is what matters most. It’s not always easy to be mindful about how everything is created along the way. The end result or end product is important, but if you don’t enjoy the process of how you get there, I don’t think it makes much sense to even undertake the journey. And of course this applies to many aspects of life.
 
MFM: You've got a rich experience in doing technical work for and at radio stations and with other kinds of media. Did you have someone to teach you all the ins & outs of audio and technical production?
 
GR: Most of the technical work I learned directly through working as I did not go to any audio school to study sound design or audio engineering. When I started to work as an audio engineer for radio stations and other media outlets 13-14 years ago, there were not many audio schools like there are now. Back then, the people I worked with were mainly composers that had learned audio engineering on their own, just as I had. However, as a child, I was formally taught music theory and musical instruments. That, of course, came long before the technical work.
 
MFM: Your first official release dates are from 2017 but you had been active with experimenting, composing, and recording for a much longer time already. At what point did you find yourself confident and pleased enough to share your productions with the outside world?
 
GR: When I moved to Berlin in 2015 I took the first few years to research and study the sound I wanted to express and felt a connection to. Long before that, I was building and playing other genres. It takes time to find your sound and style, and the interesting part is that it continues to evolve over time. Even when you think you’ve found it, it still changes slightly.
 
MFM: Do you go to the studio religiously, regardless of whether you feel inspired or motivated? Do you have a certain routine when working in the studio?  
 
GR: I don’t go to the studio religiously, at least not to make music. 
I do work every day, but often I am just sitting in my studio listening to music, writing emails, or having meetings. Many people don’t know how much work is behind a project. From the outside, what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. I mostly compose in phases; I might compose a lot for two months and then the next month I will be focused on researching, or preparing a live show, recording a mix like I did for you, or creating a sound installation. I need time to absorb what I compose and let it rest, and then get back to it.
 
MFM: Are there any new projects that you're working on and can share with us? 
 
GR: I am working on several beautiful projects at the moment. This year I am working on different collaborations of which the releases will follow in the near future. I have a new album coming out either at the end of the year or beginning of 2023. I am currently working on an immersive installation and I will also be premiering a new AV show with the visual artist Marco Ciceri this summer.

"Mixed in the north of Sweden, where I’m currently working from home. A few old tapes, unreleased sketches, music from friends and inspirations and some very old folk recordings. A mix scattered and diffuse, just like the mountains outside my window coming in and out from the fog." - @civilistjavel

Music for abstraction.

The final mix in the series this year is a 2+ hour ambient recording by one of my favourite producers, Kelly Nairn aka wzrdryAV. 

It was recorded back during the Canadian Summer and consists entirely of tracks by the Vancouver-based artist, “some released, some not…some remixes and things I did for comps”. It might be the most atmospheric recording we’ve received yet.

There’s a lot I could say (and have said) about Kelly’s music in the past but it feels right to let the music speak for itself this time round. There’s no interview to accompany this mix either. We hope it finds you well. Happy holidays.

Welcome to our 100th episode in our mix serie! Can you believe this? Thanks for listening and discovering with us. 
This mix is by Nessim, and to say the least, a very impressive one. Through residencies on Bethlehem's Radio Alhara & Amsterdam's Echobox Radio, Nessim has cultivated sounds that lean towards the aqueous, percussive, and expansive sides of experimental electronics, breaks, jazz, and ambient.
This mix for Knekelhuis is an ode to experimental dance/electronic music scenes of the 1990s, from Illbient to IDM & breakbeat techno.

Keep listening. Stay curious.
