unlikely

A song made as part of a three-word song challenge.

Some thoughts on the tuning:

A "NEJI" tuning (which stands for "Near-Equal Just Intonation") uses just intervals to approximate equal-temperament intervals. Just intonation imbues extra color and flavor into each chord that is often lacking in it's equal-tempered counterpart. Since the just intervals vary in length, every key in a NEJI takes on a unique harmonic character. This is a fairly simple NEJI, since it approximates the intervals of 12edo, but I still find it's nuances to be very enchanting :)

Memory

Naarm-based artist Greer carries us through the second entry to Serendipity -offering over an hour of serene ambience, knitted together with graceful beauty and the rawness of their own experience. 

The sound they have curated invites the listener to dream, breathe deeply into oneself and seek truth. Organic sounds are nestled amongst warm layers of ethereal chords, bringing about a sense of intangible comfort that allows the listener to texturally potter through the inevitable liminality which accompanies growth…

Greer has reflected on their intentions and emotions behind the mix, and where serendipity has found them along the way;


“This mix was recorded at the beginning of the new year, something that started without a solid intention, ended up becoming a full on reflective journey through moments that had guided and shaped my little heart.

A loving glance between friends, a pat on the back, tears on a flight, incense in new yet old homes, a thought that incites change – something all a little deeper than myself.

I reflected on my year in a new city, reminiscing over canon events, love gained and lessons learnt. During this mix, it was like I regained consciousness, I suddenly remembered how these softer sounds can nurse us to a space of gentle introspection.

I hope this mix can be a gentle guide to reflection - when things seem chaotic or slightly out of reach - may these sounds remind you to take a deep breath and reconnect with your body…everything will be juuuuuuuuust fine!”


Find yourself the moment to gently look within yourself and look up to the “komorebi” in the trees...


Greer is a DJ, visual artist and the driving force behind the melting ambient mix series take care, a meditative place to visit when you need more of these gentle yet reflective soundscapes.

AMP Radio: Between Dusk & Dawn

alvino — a sound experiment in ambient minimalism. by Alexandr Delvina

alvino

Time Vials: Part 2 was all about embracing spontaneity in improvisation. I was really into thinking about how to bring these approaches into the process of programming hardware.

The Elektron boxes – which all of these pieces were started on – are incredibly deep machines. Programming them is this really nice, creative, fun, and challenging process. Whenever I use their gear, I definitely feel the technology guiding me towards more experimental approaches to the material. I feel like working with hardware of this type is so nice because it's really focused in terms of what you're working on. In today's day of converged technologies, it's nice to work with technologies that do a limited set of things really well.

I also wanted to feature a little bit more gestural shape in the music, rather than having single textures just be elongated for long stretches of time. (Not at all to diss this type of music. In fact, I'm a big fan of minimal drone music!)

I hope you like this one.

Much love,
Pat
