Mirrors 025 - Jamie McCue

"A lonely soul crawls through shadows and starlight.
Bells toll in reverse.
Choirs disintegrate into static.
A procession moves through ruins
hooded, glowing, fractured.
Litanies stitched from tape hiss and iron.
Inhabit the darkness,
and embrace the light."

HOCast #241 -  Dante Lucero

This compilation sneaks into the soundscapes of the ambient room at Perpen and its population and marauders. The line up is packed with friends and family that are part of the event, who shared their vision of that cabin on the forest. A continous play has been edited for a cassette as a one-piece composition, with no aim to make a dj set but to have a more seamless experience throughout the different tracks. Welcome to the Ambient Room; it might be a daylight outside already.

Thanks to eveyone collaborating and supporting so far, the artists on this compilation, the crew at the forest, and everyone involved. Larga vida al Perpen.

Ambient Room [GPVA03]

[GPVA03] Ambient Room Side A

"An experimental drift through blurred textures and shifting forms, where sound feels less composed than uncovered. At times, a flicker of dub emerges - brief, like a thought half-remembered - before dissolving back into abstraction. The journey unfolds intuitively, resisting structure, favouring sensation. It’s not about where it goes, but what surfaces along the way."

Kizen records (@kizenrecords) founder Romi (@romi808) has been across the techno scene for decades, developing a vision for music that spans genres and moods. Bringing it all together coherently with a focus on deep, hypnotic sounds, he expresses this vision through Kizen's consistently high-quality output.

INSIJAM – meaning harmony in Arabic – places the essence of chance and encounter at its core. Blending Musique Concrète with traditional Arabic sounds, the performance moves fluidly between experimental, avant-garde, and improvised jazz. 

Curated by Rami Abi Rafi (@ramiabirafi), INSIJAM is a monthly show broadcast on Cashmere Radio, based in Wedding, Berlin. For this edition, Rami invites Romi as a guest artist.

INSIJAM reflects my personal vision of the beauty that emerges from the meeting of diverse musical worlds.

The next Deep Mind Music comes from one of my dearest friends, and greatest inspirations - hems

hems and I have a special connection, we both love to adventure through musical lands strange and beguiling, evocative and unusual, and have spent many hours together digging through obscure backcatalogs or making our own noises experimenting with hems’ many synthesisers in his studio in London 🧡

hems plays music like no one else I know, he has a magic touch and deep sensitivity for representing all shades of human existence. From the sublime to the transcendent, the unsettling to the hilarious, hems’ sets takes listeners to the beyond and then further still.

I first invited hems to make a mix many years ago, so I am very happy to finally welcome an entry from him. This recording is the first 2.5 hours of an all-night 8 hour set hems played at an intimate private gathering in Mexico City in March of this year.

In this recording hems coaxes us to drift inwards, to enter into an unusual landscape, to open up to all the elements of sound, contrasting pre-Hispanic music with vintage synthesizer tracks and much more.  

Listening to hems’ sets over the years has expanded my mind towards new possibilities, his selections and genius touch for programming evoking many deep epiphanies and insights. This mix is brimming with vitality and life, I hope you enjoy this kaleidoscopic voyage into the mystical 🌿 ~

Alongside DJing, hems produces very deep and intricate experimental electronic music I highly recommend checking out, often utilitising spatial audio systems or even playing gongs live, and he also runs the amazing Titrate records with @o-utlier, as well as his own mix series @hardcore-chillout with @EightFoldWay

@DOC_sounds

“You will find that your greatest difficulty is concentrating on the sounds themselves, for the thoughts, impressions, and memories that these sounds conjure up will persistently take over part of your concentration, pushing the real-time sounds to the background. Make sustained efforts to return to the sounds arising in your present moment, for your mission is only to listen to them, not to think about their meanings.
 
As time passes and you steep yourself in what you hear, you will discover an increasing number of sonic details around you. Each of these details will lead you to another; each sound will lead you to a neighboring one. At this point you will find that your inner voice gradually diminishes at the same rate by which you immerse yourself in your sonic environment.
 
When you ultimately succeed in listening to the place in its entirety, you will find that the distance between yourself and the space's sounds has diminished, and that you have become part of the place.”
 
How to Disappear
Haytham El-Wardany
 
Temple is a space to disappear in sound. An aural shrine in which self dissolves.
This extract from Haytham El-Wardany book, How to Disappear, read by Philipp Rhensius aka Alienationist, seemed to encapsulate part of what I expected Temple and Espacio Perpendicular to be, and I thought it would make a nice intro.
 
From there, the selection was aimed at making it easy for the listeners to disappear in sound. Experimental noises to tickle the brain, moving to more melodic or tonal pads. A slow crescendo to some more ‘deconstructed beats’ shifting  towards a “4 to the floor” groove.  Horizontal start, seaweedy dance ending.
 
Thank you Temple."
