It is undeniable that we are living in uncertain times. For those of us failing to fit the patriarchal, neoliberalist mould we have lost hope in the future. We can see capitalism is not working but we cannot yet envisage an alternative. We discover that the stability we were instructed to obtain whether it be financial, political or ecological, is fleeting, if at all. The resulting anxiety is an instrument of neoliberalism that prevents many of us from being able to raise consciousness of the structural injustices that alienate us.

In a world where security is no longer feasible, the only constant we can rely on is change. Barad teaches us that the world is a dynamic process of intra-activity and materialisation, an ongoing ebb and flow of agency. The Buddhist Law of Impermanence proves that nothing in this world is eternal.

Regardless of ones point of reference we can understand that every aspect of life, physical and mental is in flux and perhaps this transience is the only thing we can depend on.

Each month we invite an artist to ruminate on these ideas and create an hour of relief from these anxieties. A temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate modes of existence that reject hetero- patriarchal systems of oppression.

This month we have invited @hydrangeamusic to respond to this concept.

TRANSIENCE #13 With Hydrangea

IooN - Cosmic Downtempo is the multi-faceted Ambient/Psychedelic
musical form of expression of a free and barefooted soul landed from outer space in 1983.
IooN's music is a slow paced progression of soulful melodies juxtaposed with deep ambient textures and ethereal atmospheres either synthesised
and acoustic derived, to help the listeners to come in contact with their inner soul.
All is due to party experiences blended with knowloedge and curiosity about the aural medium,that’s why you will not read another “he started making music at the age of 5”.
From 2000 on, as a heavy partygoer IooN got so fascinated by the Chill Out side of events,
because this kind of music can shift your brain perception to experience a dreamy trancey state in a different way than average psytrance.
While completing his studies as a Live Audio Engineer he heard a call from within,so he started crafting his very-own form of music,a deep tribal experience, evocation of feelings.
IooN released music with the following record labels: Mystic Sound Records [RU], Spirited Records[SL], Astropilot Music [RU], Melusine Records[RO], Psyderweb Rec [NL], Gaia Psybient Collective [NL], Mindspring Music [US].

From summer 2012 IooN performed in european psychedelic festivals including: Tangra 2012[BG], Human Evolution [IT], Blackmoon festival[ IT] , Antaris Projekt [DE] ,WAO Festival [IT],Festival for Life [UK/P] Funny Moon Festival [CZ], Mystic Mountain Festival [HR], Ban Sabaii&Acid Moon Festival [TH], Ambiosonic Festival [F], Yaga Gathering [LT]

Sound has followed us humanbeings for thousands of years. From the caves we lived in and listening to the drum, the drum, pounding repetitive rhythms, that then and now made us move our bodies and dance! This is the sound I like to think of when I’m playing my techno! The driving rhythm that feels like your on a train, gliding through a landscape, in your own landscape, but also in the sound landscape that takes you on a beautiful journey and experiencing this with others❤️ Feeling your part of something bigger than us, togheter!

It is undeniable that we are living in uncertain times. For those of us failing - or refusing - to fit the patriarchal, racist, neoliberal mould we have lost hope in the future.

The resulting anxiety is an instrument of neoliberalism that prevents many of us from being able to raise consciousness of the structural injustices that alienate us.

About Dica:
Started collecting vinyl in the early nineties and started dj-ing a couple of years later. Over the years he played at numerous venues and radiostations along the westcoast of Holland. Today, Dica still plays vinyl only, combining acid with electro, synth, wave, disco, techno, electronica and whatever fits in between. Dica’s signature sound is raw, dramatic, haunting... and drenched in acid.
