Premiere: Son of Chi & Arthur Flink - Part One

We’re feeling very honoured to welcome A Strangely Isolated Place and 9128.live head honcho, Ryan Griffin, aka ASIP.

Ryan's ear for label curation and his mixes under the ASIP moniker have really inspired us over the years, so it's exciting to get an insight into what he's been listening to lately.

Some words by Ryan about the mix:

"This mix came together over a 2/3 month period, as I've spent a large part of the summer between Oregon and California with family and haven't had much dedicated time to focus on a mix. Normally I approach mixes more conceptually, but this one came to life organically in pieces, over time. In hindsight, the mix reflects a specific period in time for me and a lot of my life musically over the past few months. From the unfortunate passing of Brian McBride (Stars of The Lid) and revisiting those brilliant albums nearly every evening; anticipating the new Lord of The Isles album after his standout isolatedmix this year; our latest label addition from Mary Yalex; music being sent to my inbox from new artists; and of course, a couple of upcoming ASIP releases that are keeping me busy lately. Thank you for having me as part of the series."

The Observatory - ASIP

For the next edition of Monument Waves, we are honored to welcome ASIP, which is the DJ name of Ryan Griffin, founder of the legendary A Strangely Isolated Place label and the 9128.live radio station. 

Here ASIP presents a stunning mix featuring ambient, electronica, IDM, dub techno and more, where almost every track has been turned into a loop to bring to life the idea of "waves" as loops - continuous unfolding of repetitive patterns.

“Taking inspiration from the podcast series’ title, I aimed to create a mix that focused on
repetition and layers, as if staring out to sea watching blankets of waves roll in from
miles out; changing in intensity, but forever calming in their unbound repetition.”

Recording of Nathalia's set at les Chaos Ambiants 2024

Naturally active person, in 2014, Nathalia founded Experiment Intrinsic – a hidden art dimension organically blended with the visual and musical imagination. A pivotal change, in which she pursued a path of deeper self inquiry and progression of sound, shifted her from the dance-floor oriented music and into ambient soundscapes. Her influences drew increasingly from experimental electronic, as well as traditional and spiritual genres. The following years were dedicated as developing the project into a dynamic and constantly evolving audio-visual platform.

[Les Chaos Ambiants]

The Pauza association presents Les Chaos Ambiants, a festival dedicated to the encounter between electronic music, the visual arts and the rich heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté.

This event is designed on a small scale to make it as comfortable as possible to listen, meet and move around, with a single stage to promote emerging and established artists, a natural setting conducive to the discovery of musical works and artistic installations, and an eco-responsible approach to limit its environmental impact.

The project has several objectives : to promote the European and international artistic scene, to stimulate and strengthen the cultural and creative network across the département and the region ; to help promote and showcase the natural and cultural heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté ; to support local produce and the local economy.

Campfire Stories 41 (Wandered lonely as a cloud) by @faruambient

~ About The Story ~

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

- William Wordsworth

Campfire Stories 67 (We All Float Down Here) by Eric Cloutier

"In the Nada Brahma book I find the words:
"with the Sufis is the name of the original sound "Saute Surmad": 
the sound that fills space. "
In this mix there's a track from Chi Factory's Hanyo v. Oosterrom called "Saute Soermad", I think he means it too. 
I think that's how it could have started.

Spiritual travel is my second mix for the great guys of "Nature Tales". Planned as a "one and only mix", it quickly became clear that the multiplicity of tracks and the somewhat different mood required a split into two mixes. "Spiritual Journey" has definitely become darker than the "Tropical Mysteries" version. It was a long way from planning, track selection and tricky in the details. I hope you like it."

Oslated Mix Episode 189 - Emika Elena

Human Lessons
Berlin
Japan

Emika Elena is a Berlin based techno DJ / producer from Tokyo and founder of the record label, Human Lessons.
Music has always been a huge part of her life, ever since she started playing piano in her family home at the age of 4, but it was the discovery of techno in her early teens that led her to become a DJ.
Having played one of the top venues such as Contact, VENT, eleven, UNIT, Origami, Air, Dommune and so on.
In 2016, she officially launched Human Lessons and released a solo EP titled ”Delicate Details”. 
One year later, she collaborated with Ryogo Yamamori, on a new EP ”Confusion” which was a limited edition vinyl release on her label. 
Gathering attention by being played by big name producers and radio programs such as BBC Radio1 and Deep Space Helsinki, she was significant success in first European tour in 2018. 
Her trademark sound is all about hypnotic darkness, influenced by soundtracks and cinematic scores.

Emika Elena 는 도쿄 태생의 베를린 기반의 테크노 DJ / 프로듀서이자 레이블 Human Lessons 의 창립자이다.
음악은 언제나 그녀가 4살때 피아노를 연주하기 시작했을 때부터 그녀의 삶의 가장 큰 한 부분이었다. 하지만 그녀는 십대 초반에 테크노를 접했고 이 경험은 그녀를 DJ 의 길로 이끌었다.
Contact, VENT, eleven, UNIT, Origami, Air, Dommune 등의 베뉴들에서 플레이 해온 그녀는, 2016년에 Human Lessons 를 런칭한 후 “ Delicate Details” EP 를 발매했다.
1년 후, 그녀는 Ryogo Yamamori 와 협업한 ”Confusion” EP 를 한정판 바이닐로 발매했다.
그녀는 여러 라디오 프로그램에서의 플레잉으로 주목을 받으며, 2018년 유럽 투어를 성공적으로 마쳤다.
그녀의 트레이드마크는 사운드 트랙과 필름 스코어로부터 영향받은 어두운 최면적 사운드이다.

Deep Breakfast 050 - Mind over MIDI

Hello dear people. So the podcast channel is back after this three months break - I needed some time to think about something else, work, exciting new projects to come. I expected to relaunch the channel a bit later, but considering the actual situation, I guess it's essential to keep the head up and to share art and music as much as possible. Keep safe, take care of yourself and your loved ones, everything will be ok 💚

So we have a special one for you today. I have the pleasure to welcome Andreas, aka Kraut Sounds on the channel with a beautiful live performance.

Kraut Sounds lives in the South of Germany. Originally started in spring 2012 as a dub techno project, evolving since then into an experimental electronic outfit with deep ambient roots and a certain kraut electronic vein.

Kraut Sounds released numerous EPs, albums and live sessions for several dub techno, ambient/drone netlabels: Büro für Erdrotation, Terra Rossa, Spiel:feld Records, Diametral, Dimbideep Music, Drone Works International (all Germany), Adept Label (Spain) and Dub Techno Blog (UK). Podcasts of Kraut Sounds can be heard at Deep Electronics, Echogarden, Hello Strange, Spiel:feld, Moshitaka and Technopoetry.

Kraut Sounds also records under the name Polaroid Notes improvisational music and contemporary classic. Up to now Polaroid Notes did several releases for Audio Gourmet, Whitelabrecs, Tessellate Recordings (all UK) and Büro für Erdrotation (Germany).

About the music:
“Since I’m into making music I like working with deep and minimal sounds, oscillating textures and free-form Kraut electronic stuff creating certain moods and feelings.
“Closed Circle” is about floating and drifting in sound and time. About getting lost in emotions, in deep meditative soundscapes and atmospheric drones. The live session features some tracks of my albums “Echoes”, “Drone Scapes” and “Spaces”, the latest one released mid of November 2019, together with a couple of new and unreleased sonic meditations. Sit down, relax and drift away…”

The picture was taken by Kraut Sounds in a pine wood at the Mediterranean Sea near Cecina/Toscana.

𖦹

in those subtle moments 
we sometimes drift into, 
when time slips away 
and life stands silent, 
words cease to spill from our mouths 
or even bubble up from that source within. 
the warming wholeness ensues 
at the sheer experience of it all:  
we marvel at the vast beautiful complexity 
of creation rolling around and within us. 
it’s likely that every human 
has experienced this feeling 
at least once in some form. 
it almost seems hardwired, 
like a key back into the garden 〜
