The latest edition to the series is a mix I recorded a few weeks ago sat in a cosy yurt at 10AM on a sparkling sunny morning in North Wales. Thanks so much to Eddy from Neighbourhood Cotch for having me play on his stage at On-Kilter, a small boutique festival set in a beautiful green estate. 

This was the first ambient set I played in person post-lockdown, and it was magical to hear this music on a big soundsystem again, and to feel it drifting out over the hills and through the ancient oak trees. To me, this music is always best experienced in nature, especially in the summer, so I'm glad to have had the chance to situate it there. Hope you enjoy this nearly 2.5hour long drifty journey ☀️🌳🍄

The recording of my set at Paral·lel Festival 2022 🌲⛰🧡 @parallelfestival

I was on 12.30-14.30 on Saturday afternoon. When I started playing, grey hazy clouds were still drifting across the panorama from Friday night’s storm, and by the end of my set, the sun was shining down on all of us.

This set meant a great deal to me, and being gifted the task of drifting from ambient expansion into trippy rhythms, coaxing everyone up off the floor and into movement, was such a dream.

Hope you enjoy this memory from an amazing weekend in those magical mountains 🧚✴️

Sybil @ Paral·lel 2022

an hour and half of deeply moving, wildly tender mix by @syberkid :')

o: how have you been sleeping lately?
s: unpredictably. sometimes i sleep and wake up with the hazy memory of a glorious adventure, other days I wake with the horror of a nightmare clinging to my subconscious, and sometimes I can’t sleep at all...

o: are you a daydreamer or night swimmer?
s: always both ~ swimming in the daydreams, dreaming in the night swims.

o: where do you go to dream?
s: music is my portal to the dreamland. drone for the deepest cerebral dissolution into the realm of the imagination, something more energetic or colourful if I want to fly through the sky.

o: what was the last thing you heard that moved you?
s: the rustling leaves of trees in the wind, and birds calling to each other on a walk this morning.

o: have you ever cried on the dance floor?
s: yes, though not often, I’m more of “cry on the inside” dancer. 
though, the first time i remember actually crying on the dance floor was the first time i heard claro intelecto’s ‘peace of mind’ in 2013 i think… it was in my head for weeks afterwards https://youtu.be/m0-iideGM_k

o: where did you record this mix? 
s: in my living room, with my favourite cedar incense burning (i burn this every time I record a mix, a little ritual which always brings me to the right zone).

o: what drew you to the sounds?
s: you my bb <3 
this mix is my interpretation of all our beautiful sobcore listening sessions in your room after nights out, our shared love of soft emotional music, and how that translates into my sound. it’s sobcore x deep mind music, a journey for deep feelings, philosophical chats, cosy cuddles and imaginal drifting ~

o: what are you looking forward to the most this year?
s: i am most excited for the summer months to finally arrive, so I can once again frolic with friends in nature, listening to music outside 🤸🌲🌞

It is a great pleasure to welcome the very talented producer and DJ @a_strange_wedding for our seventh Herbarium episode. He chose the plant moss for his little botanical journey. It inspires him through its big variety of shapes and different textures it can have. Sometimes whole fascinating landscapes are built out of moss. At the same time it is so interesting to look at in a very small scale and next to that it can also have such impressive patterns when it appears in bigger sized structures. Moss has such a great natural soft but also sometimes rough surface and it can appear in so many colours. What a beautiful choice. 

A Strange Wedding translated the aesthetics of this plant more than greatly into a whole musical landscape. He composed together some outstanding pieces which all mirror the various facets of moss. Sometimes very soft noisy textures create the lovely vibe of this plant. Furthermore scenes are revealed in which the listener can imagine oneself shrinking into a very very small being and explore a vast forest of mosses.

"To commemorate Inveins’ 100th episode, I wanted to create a journey that honors the story of the series thus far, reflecting on its influence as a long-standing narrative in techno and ambient while staying true to my personal style. To do so I sought out a sense of balance when developing the mix, trying to find a careful harmony between the inspiriting and the meditative, a flow that shifts but never strays, and drawing from producers and labels whose music I consider both contemporary and timeless. 

I hope the recording captures my respect and admiration for the series, bookending one chapter while opening the door to the next."

I am so grateful to share with you all today a very poignant and sacred entry in the Deep Mind Music series from Lou Drago. Lou has woven together a truly otherworldly psychedelic journey for the soul, a luminescent experience, a gently glowing hologram of emotion 💠

Lou Drago and I connected years ago when they asked me to make a mix for their TRANSIENCE series, which invites contributors to create a “temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate futures free from all systems of oppression.” We found a synchronicity in the role ambient music has played in our lives, and how it opens portals to new imagined existences for us. Since then, I’ve had the joy of playing for Lou at infinity rug, the ambient-focussed event series they curate with Marum, where we have shared deep chats, silly giggles and shared philosophies (as well as ambient music ofc).

They have put a great deal of thought and care into this mix, which you can hear in the delicately programmed selections, the fluidity of the whole, and the full-being submersion into an emotional plane of existence. From the opening seconds of the mix, clarifying crystalline twinkles open the way, realigning our sense of being, and taking us into this subtle soundscape. This mix feels like a gently calming presence, like both a sigh, and a weight lifted from the shoulders.

As we sink into the mix, we evaporate into vaporous wisps of energy, as expansive washes of sound contrast with infinitesimal whirls and organic instrumentation. We are submerged into a panoramic dreamstate, morphing mystical landscapes expanding before us. Lou guides us through a misty forest teeming with life, droplets of water slipping off the end of intricate leaves around us.

In the final 30 minutes of the mix, I feel as if I am all the flickering stars in the night sky, as interplaying vibrational drones dissolve us into the depths. Lou then very gently lifts us from this state, the atoms of our being carefully reassembled, coming back to reality in a state of blissful harmony. I hope you find peace in this heart-opening trip 🤍🌌🤍

This release comes in the same week that I will be joining Lou as a guest of TRANSIENCE at WHOLE festival this weekend, where we will both be playing ambient sets in the early hours of Saturday. I am really looking forward to this occasion of continued sonic kinship between us, see you there if you are coming 💗

Lou Drago ~ Deep Mind Music Vol.28

An invisible city with silicon cathedrals, a tangerine sky and an ever-flowing current of microscopic lifeforms suddenly becomes visible. Such visions of hyperfuturistic phantasmagoria solidified in tone are somewhat of a specialty for our next guest. Plant43 aka Emile Facey is a name synonymous with some of the most consistent electro records of the past 20 years. Besides his track "Eclipse Season" on the second Unrush compilation, Emile has carved out his own niche of bubbling basslines and synth mastery on many notable labels such as Frustrated Funk, CPU, Semantica as well as his own Plant43 Recordings. What makes his music so engaging is his deep sensibility for atmosphere and gifted ear for experimentation, making him a perfect candidate for an Unrush mix. Unfolding with a Glass-like minimalism and patience, this hour of syntropic serotonin is sure to inject your mind into a placid, otherwordly place within the matrix. 

Thanks a lot to https://soundcloud.com/plant43

It is a great joy to present the next Deep Mind Music mix, a deeply healing and very special mix from a friend of mine, Bossman Wines. 

Listening to this mix feels like being suspended in a hologram of fractal light, as tones and colours wash over you. It’s an intimate, vulnerable and moving listen, inspiring my continued faith in ambient music as an incredible tool for cathartic emotional processing. I listened to it twice in a row on a flight last week when my body was feeling pretty fragile,  I certainly felt better after. The perfect soundtrack for zooming out of existence for a while.

Bossman Wines says he made the mix of “long exhale tracks, built of tones and textures which are gentle and vital, long rung chimes, flutes and glowing pads which move slowly and soothe.” This creates an enveloping and spacious energy which allows thoughts to trail off into ether, and the mind to relax. The mix does feel like a continuous gentle exhalation too, of feelings, of tensions, of problems, as each is released and let go by the end of the mix, one’s soul feels lighter. 

I’ll leave you to listen with a poem Bossman Wines wrote to accompany the mix:

Bigger notion and process;
true dream is experience, decoded through our flat filter.
Under the slow rush looking up,
gaze we into distant past.
Stitched together from zero to one –
the real that blinks with one fragment to next,
explained by sequence
but remembered backwards.
We are all our breaths at once,
zero to one, then back to nothing.
Step we out further, it looks calm from far away.

This mix is the live recording of my set at Free Movements on the 28th of September 2019. I really enjoyed playing this set, sat in a cozy dark room, with my friend Hanzo’s psychedelic visuals swirling on a mesh backdrop behind me.  

This is the first time I've played a Deep Mind Music set out where it felt like everyone was totally dissolved in the music. There's times where it's more appropriate for ambient music to wash into the background of conversations, such as in a chill out space at a rave, but for what I'm aiming to do with this music, I feel it connects more deeply with total absorption into the sound.

I realised there’s three Pete Namlook tracks in this mix, which is a strong indication of how much his music means to me. Including an all time favourite, ‘Calm Box’ which he made with Atom Heart in 1996 as Jet Chamber. It sounds like gently pulsating orbs of light flickering in an infinite expanse of darkness. Pete is a truly incredible artist, whose otherworldly music has touched the lives of so many people. A spirit our world is lesser without, RIP. If you don’t know Pete Namlook’s music or amazing label FAX, I couldn’t recommend having a dig highly enough.

I have to say, I’ve been feeling kind of disconnected from the world this past month. Introspective and far away. Ambient music is something I retreat into when I’m feeling insular, and it means more to share this mix now than when I recorded it in September. I hope this mix gives you a space to breathe, to dissolve into a hologram of sound, and carry you through whatever you’re going through. 💙

Sybil ~ Deep Mind Music Vol.11

It is undeniable that we are living in uncertain times. For those of us failing - or refusing - 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 @syberkid to respond to this concept.

transience #25 with Sybil

2021 is destined to be a transformative year and even though there is so much more to unfold, this Full Moon falling in the earthy sign of the virgin-goddess Virgo, reminds us that we have arrived in the right place.

This February Full Moon reminds us to keep the faith and to restore our hope.
How can you make the best of any changes or shifts that have come your way? How can you embrace the current energies of your own life, and find a way to feel at peace with them?

Feeling at peace with change and with the current state of affairs is not always easy, but any effort taken to bring some acceptance, as small as it is, can make a huge difference to our inner wellbeing.

Full Moons are always a time of illumination, it’s almost like whatever is revealed to us is seen in a new light, thanks to the power of this Full Moon.

Virgo is represented by the virgin-goddess, but “virgin” has taken on a new meaning since this sign was named. Virgin implies independence, inner strength, and the freedom to do as one pleases.

The Virgin Goddess, Virgo, did not need a partner, she was whole and complete in her own right. She carried the strength of all she needed to live a whole, happy, and hearty life. This strength was not born out of trauma or ego, but her connection to her true and higher self.

What blocks you from accessing your higher self?

Allow the cleansing rays of this Full Moon to help you release and let go of any blocks that keep you from your higher self. Allow the power of this Full Moon to melt away all that stops you from connecting.

When you are connected to your higher self, you are connected to your own inner divinity and are able to feel certain, sure, and confident about your journey forward.

Your higher self knows the way, so take some time under this sweet Full Moon to connect, drink the soothing tonic it is offering, and to remember your own true powers.

Happy Full Moon. ♡
