Modular

For our last mix of the year, we warmly welcome a very talented synthesist, DJ, and co-founder of Frequency Domain, Ali Wade.

Some words by Ali:

"The Observatory has had a really great first year, hosting many go-to mixes for me, so I feel humbled to round off the series in 2023. Thanks to Jay for the invite and to all the previous contributors for setting the bar so high.

As the world grows exponentially more complex and unjust, music is ever the stabilising force. In November this year I was invited by the Bleep43 crew to DJ alongside some incredible artists at an event in east London - this mix pulls together a lot of the music I played that day, including many tracks from the label I co-run, Frequency Domain. Recorded one afternoon while in bed with a cold, I hope it puts you in a good place."

Sunset coming (Live modular sketch)

On April 22nd, Mostra took over Espacio Perpendicular for a few hours.

Mostra is an independent, small-scale festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music that was born four years ago to nurture the Barcelona scene. Mostra is local, inclusive, and sustainable. An independent festival made in Barcelona for Barcelonans, but with international vision and reach.

The event, which took place during the day, featured performances by Mattikk, Emilia Grima, Pillen, Doozer, Haara, and F-on.

Modular Windfall is a collection of live recorded tracks created using my eurorack modular synthesiser as an instrument. Each track is based on a unique patch created just for that piece, and I record everything live from start to finish to capture a one-off improvised production.

This was not pre-conceived or planned project but just brings together a windfall of music I created during a particularly productive 18 months during which I was submitting tracks to the monthly EscherMusicConnection event in Bristol - amazing local community of talented, up-and-coming electronic producers and artists showcasing their music and organised by the legendary Elevator Sounds team and I am dedicating this track to them. I hope you enjoy it.
