Fourth stop, second release—seamlessly following Esneux. For the intended journey, play the two back-to-back, without interruption.

Hotton II opens with a warm, gentle synth line; tiny blips and crackling details set a steady stride. Once the snare enters, the tempo locks in and the track lifts off. It’s a brief breather between departure and arrival.

Hotton II [2448 MAST]

Introducing the new Son Of Chi album 'We Carry Eden'. Invited by Orb Magazine to make a podcast that reflects the sources, the inspiration and deeper layers behind the 'We Carry Eden' album. 

Hanyo van Oosterom aka Son Of Chi:

"I just started sampling and editing music I was listening to lately. I mixed them with samples from 'We Carry Eden' and also from a few ongoing projects I'm working on. Somehow it all easily came together. I just let the music find me and tried not to get involved too much. 
Or as the American poet Robert Lax said (also featured on 'We Carry Eden'): "You have to put yourself in a position where grace can flow to you". 

It has been an exiting trip to work on this mix. Hope you will enjoy. This collage is not for sale and will not be released. All rights belong to the original artists. It represents storytellers, messengers, passengers in time and sonic travelers, known and unknown, from all times, cultures and disciplines. It's a message of love and respect for all of them that dedicate and dedicated their lives to create harmony and beauty in this world of changes.

OUTCUTS by David Helbich
released July 19, 2013 on surfacenoise recordings

Most of the recordings and compositions were made in the frame of the performance-concept Keine-Spiele (with Shila Anaraki) between 2001-2005.

The recordings were almost all made with binaural microphones (OKM) and a mini-disc player.

REVIEW 
by Chris Whitehead on http://thefieldreporter.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/305/

(...) David Helbich presents us with Outcuts, in which no track is longer than two and a half minutes, most are less than a minute and a half in length, and one lasts only fourteen seconds. Each track is a binaural recording of an event, seemingly unprocessed and pretty focused. These aren’t ambiences, they are either situation based (supermarket checkouts), action based (a game of table tennis) or performed (a stick dragged across metal railings). They are short, clear and to the point.
Helbich studied composition and philosophy in Amsterdam and Freiburg and the two disciplines are applied to these field recordings in a surprising way. Rather than compose using effects or layers, rather than using juxtaposed sounds or corrosive jarring to disrupt, Helbich primarily uses time.
At first sounding like a CD playback problem, a disc fault or something you’ve simply misheard, little creases in the smooth surface of time become apparent. Ripples and folds in its skin occur as the sounds slip a little back on themselves or repeat a bit and catch you unawares. Then for a very short time the whole thing drops into digital silence and starts up again. It is like dropping off to sleep and suddenly jerking awake as your head falls forward. A lapse in continuity, a corruption of linear momentum, or as Helbich describes it in the liner notes, “Everyday sounds twisted and turned inside out, bumping into each other, brutally interrupted by digital silence”. I found none of the changes brutal though, instead they seemed subtle, sudden and unheralded. They just happened without warning or fuss, as if they had always been part of the structure of the real world but we just hadn’t noticed them.
Playing through all 18 tracks consecutively causes certain rhythms and inherent underlying structures to emerge. These appear to be there across everything independently of whichever sound source is being listened to. All this may sound a little dry and academic for the listener wanting to be taken someplace else when they embark on listening to a field recording or two, but the whole thing is brief (18.32) and addresses an important issue about reality and recorded reality.
Outcuts is presented by Surfacenoise Recordings in a 7″ single sized sleeve with several bits of information, both written and illustrated. There’s a picture of a high rise balcony where three of the tracks were recorded and some depictions of stereo waveforms complete with the points at which the disruptions occur. Those experienced in decoding these graphic interpretations of sound might like to follow the peaks and dips as the disc plays: A kind of geek lyric sheet with waves for words.
Also included is the raw material to recreate track 15, papierstücke. It is a piece of paper with instructions for two performers about how to tear along the printed dotted lines. Much of Helbich’s work has been concerned with actively including audiences in his interventions.
I would recommend Outcuts to anyone wanting to bury deeper into the layers that cover the core of this thing we do. To anyone asking the questions ‘why do we record the world, and what do we end up with?’ this may or may not provide some food for thought. If it does, all well and good, if it doesn’t you will at least have had some parameters reset and possibly a stimulating eighteen and a half minutes of very punk ear-fun. If nothing else, it should make Edu Comelles a very happy man.

Ein Zwinkern In Grau

For me, this is what a good dream or a crazy nightmare could sound. Beautiful but terrorific ambiance, ever evolving, no clue where does anything come from because it was mostly sensorized. Experimental is, at least, what this first 23 minutes of a longer set was.

I used temperature and humidity sensors to adjust the wetness of filtered echoes to a particular channel and dub-echos for master. I used 4 to 6 channels with tracks and stems, repetitive but changing melodies in them, and some birds and voices recorded from around my house. 

Hope you enjoy.

For all dreamers, dancers, seekers and those who dare to fly. 
I'm here to share with you some reflections from the realm of dreams, the realm of evolve and decay, the realm of darkness and light - briefly the realm of the self.

Imagine: You're lying on a soft ground, everything feels calm & save, no emotion is inappropriate and there is nothing to fear. Your eyes are closed, as your mind drifts away into a world where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. Drifting away into a cloud especially for you and the  precious moments when you escape “reality” with all their repressive fears and social internalizations – Now you’re in Ardas Cloud -completely free- and your imagination can run wild, as it was when you were a child.

Join on this enchanting journey where you explore surreal veritys, meet fascinating beings, feel the cosmic wisdom within you, and experience all the magic of your own inner world. Feel welcome in this perfect and save space, also to get lost, to fail, and to hang in heavy thoughts, when the time therefor comes.

Each Track is a sonic escape, especially for me, and it deals with my energy and my feelings in this moments. I really hope, that I can open up my cloud for you and that my music can be a little peace of inspiration for your own dreamy ore conscious adventures and escapes.
Hopefully some of my music does resonate within you and your energy, and maybe it can be a part of your own wanderings an expressions.

Let's spark our imaginations and expressions together. 

Peace and Love within
