Ambient & Experimental - Spring / Summer  2023

Living Room n°50 ~ @djbirdbath

q. pls introduce yourself
a. My name is Ian Baxter and I produce music as DJ Birdbath and am currently based in the sunny top of New Zealand's south island.

q. is there a story behind the mix?
Not as such, I just tried to go with my first impulse for the song choice.

q. what's the best way to enjoy your mix?
I reckon it's best enjoyed in a comfy place with some headphones maybe on a bus or train.

q. describe a favorite object in your living room...
Definitely the pile of comfy pillows a friend made covers for from an old wall hanging. I've been making lots of music and this mix whilst nestled amongst them.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
I'm always working on bits of music and samples and am very excited for my EP to come out on APPX: ( @appendixfiles ) on the 24th of March.

Living Room n°50 ~ DJ Birdbath

POOLcast 088 - GNILYF x Waldboot

For our March issue this year we have a kind of creative face-off. The two alter egos of our POOLcast host Sebastian lets the different musical worlds of his creation compete against each other.

The two sides of his musical being draw their creativity from self-created sounds, with all kinds of synthesizers and effects, programmed and arranged by himself. However, two hearts beat in his creation, which significantly influence the creation in each creation against each other and with each other. The love for rhythmic sequences and groovy bassline competes against the desire for acoustic and emotional synthesizer. Experimental soundscapes that want to nestle with classic dub and minimal lines. The meshing of these two hearts is a perpetual conflict that yearns for reconciliation. This POOLcast is a renewed attempt at convergence.

Enjoy.

POOLcast 088 - GNILYF x Waldboot

The Album tells us about the colonization of cloned humans of the future and about modernity's attempt to help nature and finds itself in the beginnings, when archaic man coexisted naturally with extraordinary creatures of the world, flora and fauna. Everything is hopeful if you breathe......

POOLcast 091 - Dr.Nojoke

For our first summer POOLcast in 2023 we have a collector set from our beloved Dr.Nojoke. Classical, dub, techno, ambient, jazz and electronic are carefree mixed together here, creating a marvel over and over again that fits perfectly into the POOLcast concept.

"Life During Wartime" - Part 2, is what Dr.Nojoke calls his collage. Part 1 was a little over a year ago ( https://soundcloud.com/thepoolberlin/poolcast-077-drnojoke ). Time has not stopped and continues to pass ceaselessly. Plans of that time have occurred, have been forgotten, have changed or have been postponed. If you try to recall this point in time, it will bear more or less fruit. Predictable, you might think, our existence, chained by the absolute determinism of time. The moment, a quantum of time. The moment as the purpose of life, no consideration, no foresight, nothing that makes our actions tangible and useful beyond the "self in the moment". Are causes and effects even comprehensible for us beyond the moment or is the timeless self just an unattainable fantasy? What does time do to us?

Listen and find out.
Enjoy.

POOLcast 091 - Dr.Nojoke

POOLcast 092 - J-M-S

Our second summer edition of POOLcast season 8 is another recording by J-M-S, who have teamed up again this spring with a wide variety of instruments of electronic and acoustic facon. The result is a kind of audible silent movie.

This may sound paradoxical, but let's imagine the following thought experiment. We use a camera to record the image and sound of a natural scenario. We see and hear the wind blowing through the leaves of trees, birds gliding through the air while their calls are echoing from the mountains. Insects buzz and chirp in the undergrowth. In the distance we see and hear the babbling of a creek. If we now decouple images and sound in this imaginary recording, we create a kind of cinematic still life and an acoustic recording of nature, called field recording. If we now combine these isolated media with new complementary media, i.e. image with new sound and sound with new image, this thought experiment results in a music video, one could say trivially.

J-M-S has recorded an audible silent movie.

POOLcast 092 - J-M-S

POOLcast 093 - PLO

Our August issue brings you another live improvised recording from our very own project PLO. For this recording ANN, Dr.Nojoke, Waldboot and The Artist Formerly Known as From Karaoke to Stardom came together with a whole truckload of music hardware.

Samplers, grooveboxes, keyboards, guitar pedals, synthesizers and more create a unique vibe at the PLO sessions right from the set up and sound check. The unpredictable combination of all the instruments, effects and ideas, which are completely recombined from session to session, create a breeding ground of creativity for the artists attending the session. With the goal of allowing as few mental filters as possible to come between artistic intuition and the piece. To create an environment in which the participating artists allow the purest form of art. It is therefore also unnecessary to use typical musical phrases to classify the resulting work. The consumption of such artworks should also be enjoyed with as little bias as possible.

Enjoy

POOLcast 093 - PLO

POOLcast 094 - ANN

For our September issue we have another Founderscast, so a POOLcast directly from the heart of The POOL Berlin and the POOLcast department. ANN's ongoing journey through the spheres of electronic music currently finds a new peak in the interplay of Ambient and Drone.

The first thought that comes to mind with the terms Ambient and Drone is the idea of a wall of standing vibrations building up in front of you. However, what sounds like sonic brutalism here is actually much more than walls that seem to stretch endlessly in all directions. Rather, ambient and drone are amorphous spheres that exist in countless variations. These spheres of electronic music, with their oscillating and undefined edges, can merge, orbit, overlap, sublimate, or phase out. The resulting complex musical spaces are much more than vibrating walls.

Enjoy.

POOLcast 095 - Concept Special - Transmission III

POOLcast 096 - GNILYF

We start our new POOLcast season with a mixtape by Gnilyf, co-founder and POOLcast curator from the very beginning. For the start of our tenth POOLcast season, gnilyf presents a mixtape that ranges between the genres of jazz, experimental, ambient, drone and techno.


The mixture of styles has accompanied POOLcast since the first editions and is thus the cornerstone for the development of POOLcast from a pure genre playground to a space for unfiltered creativity. Without limitations and audience-driven expectations in curation, we try to be a platform for the unexpected, inspiring and challenging with our own productions and curated contributions. A platform for works of art that come as directly as possible from the creative level to the listener without external influences and thus evoke a reaction that can be both harmony and dissonance. Between these two ends of the spectrum is the space in which art is created and consumed.


Join us for the tenth season.
Enjoy

POOLcast 097 - Demiurge

Our last edition of POOLcast for 2023 brings us back a familiar face. Demiurge aka Demas von Klangscheiben, founding member of POOL and co-initiator of the idea of a monthly podcast series under the POOL banner, has sat down at his modular system again after a "life stuff" break and provided us a recording for you.


The end of this creative break is more than a return to what was. This is not an attempt to simply make the past tangible again. Rather, something new is being created here from a cognitive narrative. A reinterpretation of past creations is inevitable, but a return to a deterministic archetype of artistic existence is not to be anticipated. There is therefore nothing better than a POOLcast to provide a platform for this new artistic phase in Demiurge's work.

POOLcast 098 - Lumia Sylko

Our first POOLcast in 2024 comes from Switzerland and, like our last edition, is a live modular synth recording. Lumia Sylko is essentially an audiovisual project that uses the technical means and media of today to offer a platform for creative development.

Musically, there are almost no limits. Ambient, minimal, jazz, drone, electroacoustic and musique concrète are all components that find their way into Lumia Sylko's works. For POOLcast 098, Lumia Sylko has sat down at his modular system and provided us with a recording that wonderfully demonstrates what can be musically extracted from such systems. From hypnotic to groovy to dreamy, Lumia Sylko has created a thoroughly entertaining recording for POOLcast that we can recommend to everyone for the dark days.

Happy New Year.
Enjoy.
