TITR001 comes from hems, pressed to 180g vinyl housed in reverse board print.

Spread across five tracks, the release transits a number of spaces - from the post-inertia stirrings of "Chaotic Affair", to the cutting and more austere drone layout of "One". Cosmic tech broadcast "Beautiful weekend with friends" is a fizzing metamorphosis that melts and mutates itself into "Switching Gears", a darker and more liquid environment. The final track "Stain" concludes the release with a musique concrète touch.

With an overall meditative albeit experimental tone, this package is replete with rich textural qualities luring the listener into auditory immersion.

A3 - Switching Gears

Before summer ended this year, Colorado-based DJ Steven Dermody was visiting family in Ohio. He woke one night to the light of the blue moon shining through trees, projecting pools of light on the grass below. Taking it in for a long moment, he took a photo from where he stood in his childhood bedroom. After opening up the first hour of this month’s show with some new favorites, I’m honored to host Steven on Bright Patterns for the second hour, where he reimagines and translates this moment with such personal intention.

Bright Patterns with Vicki Siolos and Steven Dermody @ The Lot Radio 10-12-2023

As Bright Patterns completes its fourth trip around the sun, we welcome Imaginary Softwoods as the special guest for November. It’s been a dream of mine to have John Elliott on the show. He’s been a part of so many incredible projects: Mist, Outer Space, Organic Dial, Emeralds—not to mention all of the eternally awesome records that were released via his expert curation on Spectrum Spools. It’s a treasure trove. All that said, the vast output of John’s solo project, Imaginary Softwoods, sits firmly atop this immense pile of sonic wonder. So many of these cuts have been played on Bright Patterns over the last four years. It is a vibe I carry with me, one that’s deeply embedded in my relationship to music. The last time I heard a mix from John was 2017 and I still talk about how good it is. With all of the gratitude to everyone who listens, I hope you’ll enjoy this mix of what he’s been listening to lately. Designed as a bit of a balm for a world in pain, it covers contemporary selections with a few new age classics, reflecting the daily eclecticism of his auditory diet. It also ushers in a new era for Bright Patterns, where it will run from 9am to 10am ET with the same Thursday cadence as it has been, each month, since the beginning.

Ina Kacz @ Kiosk Radio 10.12.2023

"Music that transcends mere preciousness; the soundtrack of a rollercoaster, and a creation that goes beyond floating. Music allows for the forging of sensations, weaving journeys of intrigue, beauty, and instability. A "cadavre exquis" of pure abstraction and concept, leading the ear to unusual places. This journey is a magnificent example of these beautiful musical purposes."

hems (@hems) crafts sonic experiences that blend experimental elements from electronica and musique concrète, evoking a sense of mystery as familiar forms transform into the unknown. Over the past few years, Hems has been a featured DJ at numerous events spanning Europe, Asia, and Latin America. His DJ sets have graced prestigious stages, including multiple appearances at Astral Industries, Kizen Records and Vurt events. As a live artist, Hems showcased his talents in a noteworthy project called "The Listening Body", this innovative show brought live drones to life using gongs, singing bowls, synthesizers, and an impressive array of 20 speakers. Additionally, Hems has ventured as a solo artist, employing the immersive 20-speaker system by AMOENUS to create mesmerizing ambisonic performances. Last but not least in 2023 together with Pagan Red, Hems started a new label "Titrate" (@titraterecords) focused on drone and experimental music.

Conscious Listening Mix Series - 20 - Kaiyumi

For this month’s chapter of our Podcast Series, we are incredibly proud to welcome Fhionbarra. Barry is a London-based DJ who has been turning heads with his commendably curated and finely executed sets across the city’s experimental ambient & dance music undergrowth and beyond ✨

A real tour-de-force of concept-driven DJing, this is a live recording of Fhionbarra’s mesmerising set from a recent Hardcore Chillout event where the loose concept of the evening was based on ‘Apparent Motion’ – that is, the perceptual illusion in cinema where still frames of film, viewed in quick succession, give the appearance of motion 🎞️

The mix is an interpretation of this concept with the first section taking a scene-setting, atmospheric tone alongside some narrative elements. This is followed by a middle section where time appears stretched or distorted – a reference to the space in between frames where our senses play tricks on us. The final section (or ‘third act’) returns to more overtly narrative territory, finishing with a cinematic flourish 📽️
