I know I have been quiet for 2 years, and I apologize for that. I have had to take a step back from everything, and really evaluate who I am, what I'm doing, and why I'm doing it. Authenticity is very important to me as an artist, and due to a combination of factors, I kept finding it harder and harder to represent the ideas I was turning into sound authentically. A loss of self identity will do that I suppose. 

In addition, there is a change which occurs when you develop an audience, a different calculus which emerges somewhere between the thought "I wonder if anyone will hear or relate to this representation of me" and the thought "thousands of people will hear this, and at least some of those people will relate to it" which really fucks with the creative process. This was difficult. Another side of the calculus which manipulates the creative process is the drive to make it economically viable. When you are trying to pay your bills with your creative pursuits, there becomes a lot of pressure especially in the modern age. A level of constancy, of thematic coherence, of risk averse behavior begins to emerge when you're thinking "If people don't engage with this work, I might not be able to pay rent this month" and there almost isn't a way around this. We have to eat, and we have to have shelter. These are fundamental drives and it's very difficult when you've intertwined your capacity to eat with your drive to express yourself to divorce those things from each other. 

This was antithetical to my sense of authentic expression. Rather than just start to change my art for the sake of these goals, I had to take a thorough accounting of what art, the Mnemosyne project, its impact (intended and unconscious), and music as a whole meant to me. I decided to step back from the economic concerns, because I felt if I continued to press for them it would result in a less authentic expression and that to me was unconscionable. I decided to get back to when I was young and playing piano because it was the only way to express myself, this communion with self through an external medium. To explore myself and my relation with existence with sound as the intermediary. 

I have not abandoned, however, you. The people who engage with my work for your myriad reasons and in your myriad ways. I could have stayed forever making music by myself for myself. Playing piano to an audience of myself and whatever awareness existence may possess. I started to post my music here because I felt I had something to say, I felt perhaps these explorations would be useful to others. This is still important to me, essential even in terms of how I want to affect this world. I hope beyond hope that what I say and what you hear is impactful, that it leads to a better life for you, and a better world likewise. I would rather make that impact than try to force myself to pay bills with that expression. What a cheapening it would be to sacrifice that authenticity for something so base.

As such, I took time and space to create the necessary perspective. To reformulate my life, my world, in order to ensure that I continue to make the impacts that are important to me. More Mnemosyne is on the horizon, much music has continued to be made, albeit much of it will remain my conversations with myself, much of it is also things I want desperately to share. I have found again my purpose in sharing music with you all, and I continue to make one promise to you: that I will never allow anything to stand in the way of my artistic integrity, no matter how convenient it would be. Transformation is a difficult process, but a necessary one. Sometimes it requires that we part ways with things we are invested in, that we have invested into our senses of self.

I love you all beyond words.

MNEMOSYNE #059 - KRATU

While officiating as a drummer for various Swiss indie bands, https://soundcloud.com/numeral-music-828949040 has developed his own production methods and sound aesthetic throughout the years. In his personal work, sometimes dark atmospheres prevail, sometimes luminous melodies. An inclination to distort, disassemble, modify sounds with great attention to details: this is what gives Numeral's apocalyptic sound its full magnitude. 

This contribution consists of a curation of sound samples that were gathered, processed, and layered to create a continuous one-hour sonic stream. These chosen sounds have been recorded over the past four years at diverse locations in Switzerland and Germany. The samples encompass field recordings, studio and live sessions, blending a variety of electronic and acoustic sources. Together, they weave a sonic narrative of memories, capturing both the sensory experiences of these distinct places and situations, as well as the various emotional states that emerged through a responsive process.

"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
Amongst so many experiences that I would describe as "crucial", I remember a strong emotional impression from an early stage of my life. When I was about 5 years old, my mum would take me for long walks and we would usually end up at the local music school, watching and listening to the drumming lessons (from outside the classroom, of course, with my face pressed against the window). If I was lucky, there would be a short break between two lessons where the teacher would invite me in and even let me play the drums for a few minutes. The physical experience of the sound produced by the drums was certainly overwhelming at this age and left a strong emotional mark on me.

Tracklist:
- various samples of unreleased tracks (Berlin, 2020 – 2021)
- jam sessions in a studio (Bern, 2020 – 2023)
- making fire and collecting water (Glarus, 2020)
- cooking a meal in a mountain hut (Glarus, 2020)
- rainy afternoon in a neighborhood (Berlin, 2021)
- busy afternoon in a studio (Berlin, 2023)
- various samples of recorded live sets (Zurich, Geneva, Basel, 2023)

soundcloud.com/coedencoedencoeden is a sound artist researching on dub-oriented rhythms and illbient atmospheres, member of the multi-disciplinary collective Hide Productions and co-founder with Wavefold of Wetware Echo, a label focused on exploring known and unknown territories in the bass music spectrum.
After some eps and albums on Prehistoric Silence and Hide like “Reaver” and “Oblivia”, in 2021 they release “Hovering between the seen and the unseen” on Natural Sciences, embryonic dub and otherworldly electronics plugged into the undergrowth and feed though electrical storms and molecules clutching onto a dying planet. In 2023 came out “Ember” on Wetware Echo, an audiovisual journey into ancient mythologies, dubbed in distorted echoes reconfigured through mechanical rhythms, and “Erewhon” on Entangled Visions, an ethereal record with crystalline melodies and endless atmospheres. Makes also music as Aural Stream, JUN and Aeon Gate.

“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
My crucial sound experience was listening to Earthquake for the first time, raw dub basses and sick melodies, it was really powerful and suggestive sound vibes.

MNEMOSYNE #061 - COEDEN

https://soundcloud.com/paulinaloise lives in Lausanne and has been making electronic music for the past two years. She self-released her first EP, “La Jetée”, in August 2023.
In her music and this mix she is interested in the tension between a piece of music and the sonic activity that unfolds on its margin, whether understood
as its technical, temporal, or spatial edge – the small holes, gaps and folds within bodies of sound that reveal a piece’s contingency and its liveliness.
This theme animates this mix and her current practice.

“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
Hearing everyone’s voices change over time

MNEMOSYNE #062 - PAULIN ALOISE

Aniruddha Das (https://soundcloud.com/dhangsha) is an electronic musician and educator working at the interface of bass culture and experimental noise. He composes through live improvisation, guided by the principles of minimalism, repetition and fragmentation, creating turbulent soundscapes he describes as “industrial dancehall.” With his considerable experience as a dub producer, he understands the cultural and political implications of low end frequencies and brings those sensibilities with him to his sound art practice. He is fascinated by the possibilities of experimental music infiltrating or having a greater impact on popular culture. Known for his visceral live shows, he has performed under the moniker of Dhangsha (Bengali for ‘destruction’) throughout the UK, Europe and Colombia. With his sister project DSPSSSSD (dispossessed), he explores deeper in to non-metric noise and drone culture.  
 
“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
An ongoing crucial sound experience was as an eight year old, listening to his transistor radio at night. Tuning between stations on the shortwave dial, he would hear interference and fluctuating frequencies. He found the sounds comforting and imagined he was receiving messages from Aliens. In retrospect he realised it was probably the first time he considered ‘noise’ to be ’normal.’

MNEMOSYNE #064 - CONFIG_ALIAS

Born in Bucharest, Romania in a middle-class family, a bit before the country’s communist structure collapsed under the weight of history, chance led her to begin classical music lessons (violin) at the age of 7. Struggling in her 30's KITE left Romania for Switzerland (Basel) to study free improvisation and pursue opportunities that aligned with her interest in inter- and transdisciplinary works.

“Within my present creative work, electroacoustic sound intertwines with spoken word and visual elements to create embodied experiences that facilitate self-reflection, while experimenting with the potential of hybrid forms of expression and formats.
Narratives of identity - identification / self-fragmentation / alienation are themes questioned from social, technological, and deeply personal perspectives.
I believe in the potentiality of sound to act as a vehicle for both individual and social change, using its capacity to facilitate reflection, empathy and compassion through re-contextualizing internal and external phenomena, by crossing boundaries and transcending labels.
Above all, I am a Deep Listener.”

“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
The encounter with Pauline Oliveros' Deep Listening teachings more than 11 years ago has been the foundation for shaping my relationship to sound as I was questioning becoming myself.
