8circuit - Liquid Link [SN012]

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. In a world where security is no longer feasible, the only constant we can rely on is change. Regardless of one’s 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.

For this episode of Transience we have invited research musician and composer, Demetrio Cecchitelli @cecchitellidemetrio, to create an hour of anxiety alleviating music. Demetrio is mainly active in the fields of ambient and electroacoustic music, with a focused interest for active and deep listening to his compositional approaches. Released worldwide on numerous record labels across Europe, United States/North America, Russia and Japan. He has the follwoing to say about the piece he created ~ While doing this mix for Transience I was wondering to rediscover hidden states of relief within the listening experiences I had in the last ten years. A will to recreate a soft and comfortable zone, where the listener can dive at its leisure, moved by gentle textures and profound/emotional harmonies.

Welcome to another live recorded journey. In this case, by https://soundcloud.com/barnemax.

Some context:
"Last summer I did the opening of the Ouroboros festival with this set.
It's an experimental selection in which I gathered tracks that made me feel in a peculiar way, some intense gut feeling. In a sense this set is a bit cathartic and enabled me to crystalize the not so great vibes I had at the time."

About Barnemax:
His taste in music is hard to pin down, but if anything, then it can be defined as an ever-present undergrowth of bubbling alien activity might fit the most. While his music is not best characterized by classic dancefloor bangers, you will time and again find yourself confronted with high energy elements that do not tolerate standing around idle. These compositions are often entangled in broken, heavy beats; fractured textures; minimalistic games of rhythms; and eerie ambience. Indeed, contrast is a frequent companion in his releases: a clean ode to the sounds microbes make in the morning light walks hand to hand with distorted and unsettling sounds coming from haunted basements filled with cigarette smoke. An element of surprise can be safely expected. barnemax's palette includes, without an attempt of completeness: deep techno, IDM, downtempo, experimental electronic music.

We really hope you enjoy the introspection proposed by the artist in this conceptual & beautiful session.

CODECAST REC #5 - Barnemax - Ouroboros Festival @ Cévennes, France (DJ SET)

For this episode of Transience we have invited expert improvisor and cosmic angel, Dan Nicholls to create a 90 minute journey to alleviate our physical realm anxieties. I've been following Dan's work for many years and am very happy that the stars finally align to host them live from the Cashmere Studio to begin the weekend's programmation. I love the way Dan is able to create such detailed sound worlds that invite us to meander about in them, sway like spores or lay gently nestled in their foliage. For this occassion we sat on the floor of the Cashmere Radio studio in the same space as the audience with a few cushions and Dan’s live setup. Having spent the previous night dancing we were super relaxed and ready to continue the adventure. We arrived at the studio with no real plan, wondering about how to start and what kind of sounds the set might begin with. Despite the not knowing, we both had total trust and a willingness to surrender to the moment.

Dan sees improvising as a way to bypass certain tendencies we might have to control and rationalise; to get in the way of the story or the energetic flow. A personal process of deconstructing, unravelling and healing – but more importantly an experience of playful sharing, creating sonic spaces that the listener can inhabit. The set features an improvised text by Dan’s child Liv, which touches on our origins in the cosmos and the vital need to listen to our bodies. This monologue is spoken in a dream-like imaginary voice, refracting some of the ideas that Liv has been exposed to and has intuitively felt. A different kind of truthful speech. So in a sense, it does with a child’s freedom and clarity of thought what this collection of improvised sounds and imaginary landscapes also hopes to do.

We invite you all to listen to your bodies and your hearts, and lay down to embark on this journey back to our stars.

✨ MIRAGE OF THE MEDINA  
Step into the mysticism of Morocco, where desert winds meet lantern-lit alleys. “Mirage of the Medina” blends non-lexical Sufi-inspired chants, whispered Arabic blessings (qalb = heart, ruh = spirit, layl = night), and layered group hums with oud arpeggios, darbuka grooves, ney flute sighs, and brass bowl resonance. 

This session is rooted in Maghreb ritual sound — where the medina’s tiled courtyards, incense smoke, and moonlit dunes carry centuries of music, memory, and spirit. Designed for warm nights, deep listening, and trance-like wanderings.

▸ REGION: Morocco / Maghreb — Sufi chants, Berber echoes, medina rituals  
▸ VOCALS: nonverbal Sufi-style chants, whispered tokens, desert wind hums  
▸ INSTRUMENTS: oud, darbuka, riq, ney flute, handclaps, brass bowl, wind FX  
▸ MOOD: hypnotic • sultry • lantern-lit trance

Growing up in one of the Netherlands' quieter nooks, @tammohesselink’s unwavering passion for music saw him spend countless hours of his youth in his attic, digging, researching and building up a profoundly deep knowledge and love of electronic music. Eventually, this singular passion lead Tammo out of his attic and into his local record store “Deeptrax”, where the guys behind the counter helped to refine his taste further, indoctrinating him to the sounds of Chicago, Detroit, Berlin and The Hague. Over time, Tammo very naturally found himself working at the store, where his taste continued to both deepen and expand, with a growing appreciation for a diverse range of sounds including UK-centred post-dubstep, leading to the distinctive, genre-bending approach he is known for today.

As a producer, Tammo has developed an outstanding body of work under a range of alias’ since the mid-2010’s, first releasing via his own imprint “The Invariants” before seeing his music published on famed Dutch platforms @delsinrecords and @nousklaeraudio in more recent years. Although there may be variations in sound and approach between his projects, one constant is a solid sense for warm, resonant groove which filters through the many aspects of his music - from light-hearted arpeggiated synths, to organic, intricately programmed percussion. 
Tammo carries this same quality into his DJ sets, which has enabled him to take the stage at events such as Breakfast Club and Dekmantel Selectors, and also to become a resident at the now sadly closed De School.

This rhythmically diverse mix for Patterns of Perception channels Tammo’s inimitable sound and musical insight, building from a deep, measured beginning, before gathering energy and momentum further into the mix. The result is a fiercely arresting 83 minutes of music that takes the listener on a winding narrative journey through varied and utterly compelling club music.

Patterns of Perception 72 - Tammo Hesselink

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.
