Sunset on FBi Radio : Woody92

This contribution is a very special one, as it marks a new chapter in The Observatory’s sound… 

We will always be a home for ambient and experimental sounds. But, moving forward, we will also be exploring our love for dance music, with a particular focus on the deep end.

To begin this new journey and warm things up, we are so happy to welcome back Timnah, who gifts us with a two-hour recording of her set at Omen Wapta, ADE’24. A mind-bending traversal through ambient, drone, and halftime experiments, exploring the liminal spaces between the listening room and the dance floor.
~~
Timnah lives, works and feeds the cats in the Northwestern extremities of Switzerland. Brought up in her parents’ jazz clubs and deeply influenced by her brother’s love for dub and soundsystem culture, she started DJing just after the massively feared Millenium Bug had threatened to offset our relation to time and space. Dedicated to drawing her own map of late 20th century sonic landscapes, she spent the early 2000s exploring 90s electronics including breakbeat, triphop, ambient techno, drum&bass, house and jungle. After a short but sweet excursion into producing in the early 2010s, Timnah dedicated herself fully to spinning the wheels and transversing genres, gravitating towards her current signature sound that spans immersive sound baths and intergalactic carpet rides in half-time. Timnah is a member of Amenthia Recordings and a recent addition to the A Walking Contradiction Collective.

Neon Cleptu 34
Tactile surroundings. For this episode I’d like to welcome Toner. 
@toner_jp

I met Yutaro, better known as Toner, last year when I visited Japan. And his appearance at Dommune hit it. It was a no-brainer to invite him for the Cleptu series. Curating his ambient oriented "The Line Shifting to Dots" parties. That focuses on physical deep listening. He will  deconstruct and smudge out the tactile surroundings that will drive your mind into the unknown. 

Nowhere to hide, nowhere to go...

I’m very pleased that he participated and will be the one to guide us through his musical fascinations.

Neon Cleptu 34 → Toner

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

Exploring the unknown inevitably brings surprises, and the magical sound universe we are traveling in only delivers good ones! As we survey The Continuum, we have been blessed with a new sonic territory to scout. The host welcoming us to this new musical biome is no other than David Ortolà aka d_o_ppelgaenger. 

It was a while ago when we discovered David’s d_o_ppelgaenger moniker. It was in a mystical hut in the forest, in the middle of nowhere, lost in Spain, surrounded by friends. His performance left a mark on us, so we couldn’t be more honored to welcome him to our Continuum adventures. 

The music of d_o_ppelgaenger is far from convention. Always in restless motion between introspective or atmospheric moments, and emotional melodic passages. No bread and butter ambient here: one second you are in a concrete avant-garde sounding scape, and the next a broken beat is gently stroking your hips. Moments of submerged deep techno, touches of noise. A push and pull, a back and forth, a conversation held from the furthest corners of sound. 

‘Restless’ fits David quite well. Composer, producer, performer and professor. As a solo artist, he has composed multiple electronic, ambient and techno works, modular scores as Grooves #1 (2017) and Déjà vu (2024), or unique musical events such as Efímeras for 20 Pianos (2011). He is also half of the revered act Pajaro Dune together with Estrato Aurora. They have performed at beloved events like Espacio Perpendicular, Parallel, and released on labels like Alpenglühen or Grabaciones Perpendiculares. They also recently launched their own label, Sediments, featuring the recording of that magic forest hut performance I told you about. Not to be missed. 

What about his gift to The Continuum? d_o_ppelgaenger brings a live recording of his performance for the 8th edition of the Volumens Festival. His spell took over the Jardí del Centre d’Arts Digitals Bombas Gens in València, on the 17th of October last year. Not by chance and always pushing the envelope, the live set is designed based on (8x2)+1=17 numerical proportions. Another flawless live execution of the sound we described above. Get ready for a mesmerizing experience by the maestro d_o_ppelgaenger. Thank you for opening the gates to your music land.

Human Lessons #105 - Yon

For our next offering, we return to the listening room, where we welcome Minimal Collective co-founder Brent Jacko.

"Digging through my archive became a meditative process during a long stretch of recovery, often while reflecting on the Mediterranean Sea or moving through the cold landscapes of the Dolomites. With a reductionist approach, I slowly shaped this one-hour mix: a blend of field recordings, emerging artists, and longtime inspirations, featuring Richard Chartier, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Jon Hassell, Cio D’Or, Loek Frey, ASC, Aleksi Perälä, Shackleton, and more.”

神話的なアンビエントから始まり、トライバルなテクノ、ゴア、ヒプノティックなサイトランスがミックスされたシャーマンのような音楽へとゆっくりと進化していく音楽の旅を想像してみてほしい。これこそがWoody92のセットなのだ。グラフィック・デザイン、中世、宗教にインスパイアされ、デルフトを拠点に活動するアーティストは、表現力豊かでスピード感のある実験的な音楽を奏でる。

Imagine a musical journey that begins with mythical ambient and slowly evolves into a shamanic mix of tribal tekno, goa and hypnotic psytrance. This is what a Woody92 set is all about. Inspired by graphic design, the Middle Ages and religion, the Delft-based artist plays expressive, fast and experimental music.
