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.

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 multimedia artist, Synthtati, who finds their outputs through spatial installation, set design and video art, which is highly influenced by their ongoing passion and keen attention to sound. They are the founder of Moons, an ongoing event series at Kwia, that focuses on a range of experimental and ambient music, striving to accomodate a niche for more challenging sounds – engaging audiences in a process of active listening. About their contribution to Transience, they say: "This mix was born as a self-therapy response to an extended Berlin winter hibernation period. Layering through three decks combining both digital and analogue formats, the mix strives to combine a various palette of sound ranging from experimental, whispering and somewhat tense into to extremely soothing musical textures, craving for a notion of safe space."

Radio show #03 - Camu, Hems & Eight Fold Way

In 2023, a new private space opened in Madrid, Spain with the intention of becoming a meeting point for the pure enjoyment of underground music. Espacio Perpendicular will be broadcasting some of the many recordings taken from the venue as well as hosting live events in the future for our collective listening pleasure, here on 9128.live.

This time we have and ambient and electronic session that "La extraña Pareja" recorded a few nights ago in our space. "La extraña Pareja" is a project developed by our beloved Doozer and Alberto Iniesta when they come together to play records.
As always, starting from the day after the broadcast, you will be able to enjoy the sessions on our SoundCloud playlist. The flyer design, as always, is the work of the talented Javier Marimon.

Radio show #05 - La Extraña Pareja By Doozer & Alberto Iniesta

The South Korean imprint Oslated is about to release an extended (21-track) various artists compilation divided into two parts named "Faithful Present." The compilation features an array of talented producers from the Far East and talent worldwide and explores different corners of techno. The first part is scheduled for release on September 29, and we are happy to premiere the track from our dear friend F-on.

This Madrid-based artist skillfully crafts an atmospheric, experimental techno piece that evokes vivid imagery. From the moment the track kicks in, you're immediately transported to a haunting landscape – imagine a locomotive powering through a dense, fog-shrouded forest. The industrial, metallic pads that permeate the composition add a unique texture reminiscent of icicles hanging from snow-laden pine trees along the railroad. F-on's ability to paint such a vivid and unsettling sonic picture is commendable, making "Apiretal" one of the highlights of the compilation.

 "Faithful Present" Part I is coming out on September 29

E.M.C. atmospheres - E L A

Tunnel Vision Records flyerman is back on @lyl_radio for opening his ninth season on the web.

Land with us on a new Planète Noire odyssey with a new kind of sounds generated from our nevrotic minds.

Some souvenirs from earth, some souvenirs from space.. Don't
be afraid to step in a new black hole with us : Take your brainticket for 2 hours of transcendental orgasm.

Welcoming on the first hour Night Garden : @soundsfromthenightgarden is a musical project embodying an imagined space between our conscious reality & the world of dreams. It is a liminal point in space & time; a home to drifting forms & sounds unknown.

@stakhan is taking part of the second hour , going deep tickling your inner demons with psychedelic disturbance gems.

Brace yourself & enjoy the ride.

See you on the other side. 🌚💫🌚

Recorded in October 2023 at LYL Radio studio in Lyon, France.

ambient #12 "Rewritten Memory"
A reflection on how memory reshapes itself.
Moments once real now drift through layers of dreams —
half-remembered, half-invented.
Each note recalls something that may never have happened,
yet still feels true.

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.
