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.

Campfire Stories 26 (Evasion) by @hydrangeamusic

~ About The Story ~

I got caught in the stream.
The river that wont run dry.
From sunlight to moonbeam,
a constant cycle until we die.

No dodging,  no evasion, no escape.
The river will run with me.
From the source seed to deaths mouth,
it carries life into the dead sea.

But the sea never fills.
Some souls fly to heaven whilst the rest drown.
And as the souls congregate at the gates,
they'll step through to fall back down,
and do it all over again.

~ Chapters ~

This story was translated by an ancient scribe and is told in different ways ways depending on the culture. The chapters have been lost but the story remains intact. 

~ Notes ~

Campfire Stories is a mix series by friends of Silent Season. The focus of the series is on storytelling through deeper electronic music. Artists weave together narratives using the emotional characteristics of ambient and techno music.

Thanks to all the artists and labels whose sounds help tell the story.

Thank you for listening.

Campfire Stories 26 (Evasion) by Hydrangea

@hydrangeamusic ’s life as a producer and DJ began relatively recently, when in 2014 she began expressing the quietness, wonder and intensity of nature in techno. For this prodigious French talent, creating and selecting music is an act of entering a deeper dimension, both transcendent and grounded in the hypnotic beauty of the natural world.

As a producer, she has released her own productions – which are lucid, mesmerising, arresting – on @annulled_music, @two-two-records, and @silent-season.

As a DJ, she is equally inspired by the dancefloors she plays to across Europe as by the nature around her home. She describes this mix for Patterns of Perception as a musical trip for one of her walks in the forest, creating an inner journey while being connected with the surroundings.

Wherever you happen to listen to it, we are confident it will have a similar effect on you.

Campfire Stories 38 (The Tepee) by VBC [Vibrance]

~ About The Story ~

The Tepee - Even though I've never been Japan, i've always been fascinated by the Labyrinth Festival. I've watched and listened to hours of videos and recordings from that mystical place, especially from the Voices From The Lake live act. So when Monument asked me to play before half the duo, Neel, I knew that i'd play a special set to create a familiar atmosphere to Labyrinth. And here is the recording from the night, it's an hour and a half of dubby and atmospheric sounds, an imaginary immersion into the Japanese mountains, meant to dance and connect. - @vbcvibrance

Lost In Ether | Origin Series | Feral Rite

Feral Rite are a duo comprised of Abu Zeinah and Marek Nalikowski, founded in 2015. Focused on live performance and improvisation, their joint project brings together various influences into a hypnotic and driving sound that aims for a heads-down dancefloor experience. Having performed alongside artists such as Vatican Shadow, Stanislav Tolkachev, Perc, Pan Dajing, Maoupa Mazzocchetti, or Non Reversible, Feral Rite know their craft, however, they defy genre boundaries and have a couple of experimental ambient/noise shows to their name as well. After all, Feral Rite are all about the here and now, special moments that happen only once and are a result of dialogue and exploration, regardless of whether at a warehouse rave or at an art gallery.
This Origin Series installment is a live performance recorded in one take at Marek’s home studio.

TRANSIENCE #13 With Hydrangea

This is the archive of our regular show on Cashmere Radio, Berlin. 

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. 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 host @lou_drago invites 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 futures free from all systems of oppression.
