“Inlets” is a near ten-minute composition built as a single arc, yet structured into three main sections—each acting as an access point into the piece’s evolving landscape. These “inlets” offer different ways of entering the flow, as textures shift and moods deepen. The sections fold into one another, resisting fixed divisions and forming a continuous, tidal movement.

The piece ends by subtly returning to its beginning, creating a loop-like structure that suggests endless return rather than finality. Time in Inlets feels circular, ambient, and spacious—less a path and more a terrain.

Adrian Johnson’s artwork visually echoes this form. Bold, overlapping shapes in vibrant color create a composition that feels both structured and fluid. No single focal point dominates; instead, the eye moves rhythmically between curved and angular forms, tracing a dynamic geometry that reflects the piece’s musical logic. Like the composition itself, the artwork invites entry from multiple directions—each perspective reshaping the whole.

At its core, “Inlets” is about permeability—how beginnings blur into middles, and endings gently open back toward the start. Time becomes less linear and more tidal, as if one could enter or exit the piece from any point and still arrive somewhere meaningful.

about this mix 

I can best describe this mix as my personal current mood. For the first time I'm trying to mix field recordings I've collected over the last few years with selected productions and new discoveries.


track list

Bochum city street ambience serves as a backdrop for the entire mix. Contains sounds of passing vehicles, footsteps, people's voices and the sound of fireworks. Recorded on December 12, 2024.

Roman Zheleznyak - Mixed Feelings #4

Brokenchord's Ernestas is back with another show, presenting one hour of generous folk, indie and kosmische deviations, filled with tracks selected by the rest of the band's members. In his own words: This one is way different than last, I asked my bandmates to pick a few tracks each and this one is more about stuff I've been currently listening to, also decided to make it here on a road while drinking Italian coffee in the mountains, so it's messy in a good way.
