From Setagaya With Love Teaser

Lift off! This was spectacular beyond what I could have imagined. The starling murmuration at the Avalon Marshes in Somerset. Hundreds of thousands of birds departing from their roost on the reed beds. The numbers are hard to comprehend. First the silence - a timid chorus at this time of year - then the starlings start to chatter. Suddenly there is a build up of rumbling bass, like wind hitting the microphone or something about to erupt. Then the waves across the field, like ocean waves in the distance, both visually and sonically. And the lift off. The rumble becomes a satisfying silky carpet enveloping you overhead.

This repeats 3-4 times as different waves of departing starlings take flight. MAGICAL.

I edited 30 seconds at the end from when they've all left, to give perspective, so you can appreciate the decibels such a gathering produces.

Starling Murmuration Dawn Lift-Off

Oviros Beach in the north of Pelion is a rugged, natural beach with sand and pebbles, and it is one of the quieter beaches in the region. The recording was made with a simple mini shotgun mic held close to the small pebbles at the water's edge.

A ‘dawn chorus’ from Easter Monday 2025.
What I particularly like about this recording is that it starts about 2 minutes after the first birds of the day wake up. The birds of the night - especially a little owl - are still awake and call into the song. Day and night meet here. Small creek in the background.

Dawn Chorus Easter Monday 2025

This transmission is coming to your ears straight from the sunny coast of the Frioul island.

On that day, the rocky beach was as usual drenched in the setting sunlight, licked by the distinct sound of mediterranean waves. But on that day it was also plunged into an immersive ambient and experimental music atmosphere for a very special and extremely meditative yoga class.

Right off the coast of Marseille, a special kind of relaxation ritual was taking place, and at the commands of the sound system, the one and only @ganlan was in control.

This weirdo adventurer can usually be found either in Marseille, organizing this kind of odd event in the beautiful natural settings, or playing Goa trance at parties in China.

In addition to that, Ganlan is one of the nicest human beings we’ve had the pleasure to meet over the past few years, and it is with great pleasure and honor that we host his sonic wandering on HyperBoreal.

Enjoy the authentic mediterranean field recordings and the music !

​
The seemingly limitless manifestations that are observed during improvisational performance of electronic audiovisual materials drive me to seek collaborative interactions between compositional systems, machines, and myself. In holding space to facilitate an emergence of indeterminate phenomenon through analog synthesis, feedback systems, and field recordings, I share elements from multiple sources to celebrate shapes, patterns, and spaces.
​
I hold BAs in Art and English from Andrews University, and am currently enrolled in the Electronic Integrated Arts MFA at Alfred University. I was an artist in residency in 2017 at Signal Culture in Owego New York and in 2015 at Sachaqa Centro De ARTE, San Roque Peru. My visual works, and live electronic improvisational performances, have been featured across Peru, at The MuseumsQuartier in Vienna, and throughout the Midwest of America.
 
Note: Much of the work here is subtle in nature and I encourage you to listen via headphones or using a decent system whenever possible. Most computer speakers will not reveal the tracks fully.  Unless otherwise noted in the track description, everything is recorded direct to stereo track live and on the fly with no overdubs. Thanks for stopping by and listening!

Music collective dedicated to exploring multiple facets of psychedelic music.
For trippy & dreamy dancefloors & bedrooms.
Including leftfield journeys, psychedelic dub, proto goa, weirdo folk, down beat tempos and more music to interdimensional travel to.
