This jam is near and dear to my heart, as it was a cute little track I put together at the expense of my love. I invited her into the studio on our 5th anniversary and had her make some sounds in the mic, with her under the impression that i would be cutting it up into loops, but the unedited recording was so much fun, i used whole chunks of it and built the track around it. Anyway, the project for it is destroyed, so I can never go back and do more work to it, but I did a quick little master and wanted to share it for people who wanted the jam. 

It's so different than what I usually do, that it just never found its way into a release, but I'd like it out there to share, and hey, it's the internet, I can do what I want.

Some hiss in the recording I can't get rid of, but that's life, anyway, I hope it warms you up as we spiral into winter.

POOLcast 023 - Benjamin Fehr

The final episode in the second year of our POOLcast series. Its the time of the year again, when the days become dark earlier and some of us already getting new vision for the next year. “Dark” and “Clear” is also a credo of Benjamin Fehr, creator of the POOLcast 023.

Mr. Fehr is a well known part of the electronic music scene in Berlin since decades. With his productions on Grow, Nervmusic, his own imprint Catenaccio and appearances as a DJ, he is also known beyond the national borders. “Groove Noir” is title of his events series and even the best term to describe this musical works. Minimalistic, dark but always with a special emotional timbre such as unagitated grooves that animate to move.

For POOLcast, Benjamin dug deep into the dark corners of his record collection and made his selection with a clear vision. The result is an intensive ride between ambient, vintage and a little flavor of punk. Nothing more to say, listen and to say it with the words of Benjamin …

“Stay dark and clear.”

Campfire Stories 28 (Transitions) by @GrandRiver

~ About The Story ~

When reeds are dead and a straw to thatch the marshes,
And feathered pampas-grass rides into the wind
Like agèd warriors westward, tragic, thinned
Of half their tribe, and over the flattened rushes,
Stripped of its secret, open, stark and bleak,
Blackens afar the half-forgotten creek--
Then leans on me the weight of the year, and crushes
My heart. I know that Beauty must ail and die,
And will be born again--but ah, to see
Beauty stiffened, staring up at the sky!

Pluie/Noir Podcast 071 - "Diving" by Laura Garrido

https://soundcloud.com/alalaone [Denver]

For our 126th Only For Robots mix, we welcome Denver's Alala.one. Until somewhat recently, we were unfamiliar with her work, when a friend brought her to our attention. I took a ride through her Underground Heroes Podcast, and it is quite the treat (https://soundcloud.com/make-mistakes/underground-heroes-050-alalaone). This prompted us to reach out to her, and she so kindly delivers an excellent seamless vinyl mix of rugged electro beaters, and other oddball jams . This one is dancefloor ready. Enjoy!

Time for Trees is the alter ego of sound designer, musician, and artist Joshua Smith. When not making sounds for video games, he can often be found making music about the deep simplicity of human existence and its futile striving.
