downtime

Bright Patterns is a show about following an internal absolute while navigating endless options. It’s a belief in building trust around your own instincts to always lead you in the right direction. The monthly program is curated by Vicki Siolos and the occasional guest, and leans on ambient, experimental, and downtempo electronic music to kick off an early morning on @thelotradio ✨

Bright Patterns

〰️BRAULIO LAM 🔮 〰️

Braulio Lam is a music producer and photographer from the border region of Tijuana and San Diego. Born in 1992, Braulio Lam has traversed the Tijuana music scene as a guitarist and member of different rock, jazz and electronic music projects. Braulio defines his sound as a mixture of guitar loops, synthesis, voices and live sound processing. Preferring to be called a guitarist, more so than an electronic musician, Braulio Lam has crafted a perfect soundtrack that inspires deep thought through wide isolation.

RADIO.D59B / ON BOARD #1 w/ Laura BCR, Nems-B, Refracted

Spring is on its way! This month on Bright Patterns, I’m excited to open the show for Eric Holmes, who’s presenting an all-vinyl set for the second hour. He was a part of Going In’s 60+ hour streaming ceremony just a few days ago, where he debuted all new material in his Österholm live set—his second time playing that event, which follows his gorgeous ‘New Trails’ release for the label. He’s also made music as part of Birds of Prey, Rhaeticus, Mariner, and knocks out mixtapes for friends that quickly become cherished collectibles. Enjoy the morning tunes with us—we’re happy to have you along for the ride :)

Bright Patterns with Vicki Siolos & Eric Holmes @ The Lot Radio 03 - 03 - 2022 - Vicki Siolos

The new episode of our podcast series comes from @lowgravitysound: Technology and imperfection, raw and processed, so many concepts that lie at the core of Futurepast identity.

Low Gravity trained his mixing and production skills in the London underground scene, before he brought his sound to Rome where he co-founded @radiocircolo and Collettivo Sonico. As an enthusiast of electroacoustics and experimental music, he deploys his knowledge to sculpt the sound, and fuse elements from ambient textures, experimental and hypnotic rhythms.

The mix itself features tracks from essential pioneers Éliane Radigue and Suzanne Ciani, Brian Eno, revered sound designers and composers like Tetsu Inoue, Alva Noto, Pete Namlook or Robert Rich, and new coming talents like LF58, Grand River, and of course Low Gravity himself, with an unreleased track.

@mirella-kroes’ presence in the Dutch techno scene is unmistakeable. Growing up on a diet of the tough, loop-oriented techno characteristic of the north of Holland where she was born, Kroes moved to Amsterdam as her musical horizons began to expand. Having cut her DJ teeth at iconic clubs such as Doornroosje, Trouw, Studio 80 and Cruquiusgilde, she now enjoys exploring musically deep, trippy soundscapes and organically building narratives that use space to upset conventional club rubrics.

Delving into ambient, breaks, electronica, experimental and IDM, her Patterns of Perception 59 perfectly manifests these qualities: a sonically diverse, luminescent mix best suited to private spaces, long journeys, and far-away places.

Drip. ... Drop.

The ice may be melting, but what is revealed remains frozen.
Ever so slowly the world takes its time to warm up, yet every ray of sunlight does its part to breathe life back into it. 

Finally, a lasting moment. Seconds become minutes, become hours.
The continuous drip forms a beat that turns into a room. Arutani is sitting at the center of it, painting with sounds, calmly but focussed.

His image is changing as the world is turning, at times abstract, at times picturesque, but somehow always familiar. 

Take your time. Take a breath. Take each moment as it arrives.

About UNWANTED:

So this is how this century's roaring 20s start.

A virus is keeping the whole world in check. Daily life is restricted to the bare minimum, nightlife doesn't happen at all. The rich become even richer and more people than ever become poor because of losing their source of income. On this note: Millions of artists, musicians, DJs and others alike are not only unable to do their jobs, but also have to find new ways of expressing themselves.

With UNWANTED, Drosssel's podcast host Bollek is giving some of them a stage to reflect upon their life in lockdown and speak for the greater whole, that's left unheard and feels unwanted in these times, when it's actually the virus that nobody wants.

Read our interview with Grant Aaron here: https://www.patternsofperception.com/post/a-chat-with-grant-aaron

The first time Grant Aaron (@insideout) went to an event with a chill-out room, everything clicked into place. It was the beginning of a long love affair with ambient and experimental music, with its sparsity and often beat-less nature leaving plenty of room for the imagination to take over. Grant went on to take up DJing in chill-out spaces himself before founding the influential platform Mysteries of the Deep in New York a decade ago. Initially a podcast, Mysteries has evolved over time into an event series and record label, and has established itself as one of the most revered sources for ambient music, both online and offline.

2021 is shaping up to be as busy a year as any other for Mysteries: there are releases in the works from Christina Chatfield (@anitserk), Mosam Howieson (@mos-how) and Grant’s label partner Oliver Chapoy (@ohm_sweet_ohm), plus plans to bring back the podcast after a brief hiatus. In the midst of this busy schedule, Grant took the time to showcase his cinematic, storytelling-driven style for our own podcast, with a mix recorded in a dense New York winter and inspired by the dampening of sound that comes with heavy snowfall.

Of the concept of his Patterns of Perception 80, Grant says: “The last eight or nine months have been some of the most difficult that I’ve been through in several years. A lot of it has to do with my work situation, which has been incredibly challenging and pushed me to rethink many things in my life. Then you have the pandemic, which has been this overarching theme for so many, most just trying to get through each day. But then there are these rays of light. I always try to be optimistic and hopeful about stuff, even when that can be really tough, so while this mix is very solemn, there are rays of light coming through.”
