Episode 48: Verveine

When we first covered Les Chaos Ambiants, it was clear they weren’t aiming for the usual festival formula. Instead of big stages and brand sponsorships, they’re focused on how electronic music and art can interact with local identity and environmental urgency. For 2025, the festival returns to Sommant, right in the Morvan Regional Natural Park, continuing to build on this concept. There’s still just one stage, no clashes, no sprinting between acts, but now there’s added weight on multidisciplinary art, from Adrien Lamm’s sculptural installations by the lake to workshops exploring endangered species through sound and visual design.

The lineup remains eclectic but united by atmosphere, curated once again by Alfonso Pomeda, who’s also the artistic mind behind Barcelona’s Mostra Festival. The full lineup for 2025 includes ABSIS, Alcachofa, Avsluta, Faery, Fran Campos, Lynne , Merovee, Metshka Pampo, Myles Dillon, Nems-B, Orsu, Owl, Toé, and Sybil. Les Chaos Ambiants seems designed for people who treat listening as an experience in itself, a festival where silence and subtlety can carry as much weight as rhythm or volume. Which brings us naturally to one of this year’s standout additions.

Let’s be honest: some artists play music; others change the room around you. Owl belongs firmly in the second camp. Just a few weeks ago, he opened the infamous “La Cabaña”, the ambient and experimental temple at Perpendicular Festival, with a set steeped entirely in lush, enveloping ambient. It was a lesson in subtle power, transforming a cavernous space into something intimate and weightless. It wasn’t flashy, but it left everyone exhaling like they’d just remembered how to breathe. Owl’s ability to craft this atmosphere without ever sounding forced makes him a perfect fit for Les Chaos Ambiants. Here’s an artist who understands that music in a pine forest doesn’t need to shout. It only needs to glow...

Delayed x Les Chaos Ambiants: Owl

Bastien performed on the first day of #Mostra25 at Fabra i Coats.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Emerging as a new entity within the electronic landscape, Bastien steps forward from the shadows of past identities and older sounds. His latest evolution dives deep into vast, textured realms of drone and ambient, weaving together horizontal soundscapes with touches of lo-fi, experimental tones, and avant-garde sensibilities. With subtle hints of dub, profound bass drones, and layered textures, Bastien’s music holds an immersive quality that transports listeners to an otherworldly space.

His work finds a home on the Red Edge label, with his album Temps Boro marking a sonic journey that feels as meditative as it is intense. Festival-goers can expect an experience both introspective and expansive—a sound that doesn’t merely fill the space but transforms it, inviting each listener to lose themselves in the echoing depths and resonance of Bastien’s unique soundscape.

Conscious Listening Mix Series - 37 - Maïore

After a time of rest, we're still here. A new ritual to close your eyes and let the sound of the forest care for you at night.

Jarguna & Tim Norton - Rooting Rites | रूटिंग संस्कार

After an extended pause for much needed rest and slow reflection, the Patterns of Perception crew is excited to return to our mix series with fresh energy and a stellar new mix from Jasmin, aka softi (@jazz_brown). 

Soulful, breezy and groove-laden, softi's Patterns of Perception 122 shimmers with her kaleidoscopic, minimal sound. Weightless sparks float and flicker in dim light. Time dilates; seasons drift.

A few thoughts from Jasmin:

Hey Jasmin, how’s it going? What's been happening for you lately?
I’m well, I’m currently living between Lisbon and London this summer which has been a dream! Great food, beach sessions and writing music. It’s been a wild 3 months and I’m just getting myself ready for the seasons changing!

What can you tell us about your mix?
For this mix I wanted to mould my love of groovy minimal and psychedelic tones for the moody season ahead, which is usually my signature sound! I have been producing a lot of this recently and some of my unreleased bits are exclusively inside 💜

⁠Is there a track or tracks that are extra special for you?
I’d probably say my own productions are the special to me as it reminds me of how much I have developed as a producer and artist. I love connecting with the tracks and being able to create my own atmospheric world for listeners to get lost in. But one track that I always come back to is "bluep" by Underground City Loop (a producer from Aus). I have been playing this track for years and it has every sonic element you'd want from a track - low end sub groove with dark melodic synths.

Patterns of Perception 122 - softi

All about Me (Extended Version)

Verse 1:
Thoughts are running, don’t get left behind
I tried fighting, but I lost my mind
Clock keeps ticking, now I’m out of time
I’ll rewrite my story I'll be fine
Will you lend me a hand
Will my time call it an end
When your steps get lost in the sand
Will you find a new way to plan
Pre DROP:
When you're finally free
When the pressure relieved
Drop:
When you're finally free
Don’t look back, don’t look back
When the pressures relieved
Verse 2:
Count your blessings
Don’t get trapped inside
I know you’ve been waiting for your time
Tell me all the things that’s on your mind
Leave your true obsessions all behind
Will you lend me a hand
Will my time call it an end
When your steps get lost in the sand
Will you find a new way to plan
Drop 2:
When you're finally free
Don’t look back don’t look back
When the pressures relieved
I’m fading away
I’ll play the game
I’m lost in the maze
Outro:
Thoughts are running, don’t get left behind
Clock keeps ticking, now I’m out of time

R.A.F - Don’t look back

One of the most special things about curating this series is the opportunity to connect with like-minded, beautiful souls from around the world. Among them is none other than the lovely DOC, whom we warmly welcome to the series <3

If you've ever had the pleasure of meeting DOC, or even briefly chatted with him online, you’ll know just how deeply passionate and supportive he is about the music he loves. He carries a special, contagious energy that inspires those around him and resonates throughout his artistry as a gifted selector, producer, and curator of the incredible Selene Series / The Continuum podcast.

Today, we are deeply honoured and grateful to share a very special improvised live recording, generously gifted to us by DOC and his machines.

With music, we are always searching for a familiar feeling or experience - a kind of warm, comforting nostalgia - and we find it here, within this beautifully woven, abstract tapestry of sound.

Thanks David <3
