"Until we are together again"
In June 2023, I said goodbye to my beloved dog companion after sharing twelve wonderful years together. Spencer was my family, my best friend, a constant force in my life, and a source of pure love. His presence always brought a smile to my face, he was truly amazing and beautiful. His departure made me reflect on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of cherishing the present moment, prioritizing what truly matters, and letting go of the unnecessary. During a period of deep grief, I was tasked with selecting music for the first Aurora event. Immersing myself in this process and performing there provided a much-needed release. The music I chose and played was a dedication to Spencer, evoking feelings of something beyond our human experience. I hoped he could hear it from wherever he was.
It was a way for me to say thank you to him for the love, patience, and companionship he had given me. I am immensely grateful for the amazing life we shared and so proud of our journey together. He will always hold a special place in my heart.

Verveine ☉ Ouroboros Festival 2023

This summer, after working all the year imagining, preparing and designing our beloved Ouroboros festival, we had a special moment of relief on the Saturday morning, waking up with the ambient and dubby tones of Verveine, one of our members, and see that the first night as passed, everything finally went very well and it was continuing to flow till the next day. 

It’s hard to find the right words to describe the crazy vibes we experienced so we made sure to retranscrit with this podcasts a bit of it to transmit it. More coming !

Dive into this first mix of Ouroboros festival 2023 to live again this wonderful experience.

Happy new year and welcome to 2024! Bright Patterns welcomes Garçon from Switzerland for this new chapter of the show. He’s a resident at Elysia in Basel and co-runs Amenthia Recordings with Agonis. More often than not, we have the pleasure of hearing his deep cerebral explorations of rhythm, building sets and mixes with thoughtful intention for the dance floor. While I and many others enjoy these recordings again and again, he presents a softer side here that’s equally as brilliant. “I wanted to play music i'd like to listen to in the morning or stay in bed to” he added. It’s a perfect way to start off a new year. As always, thanks for tuning in.

Music For Whales - Boards Of Canada

Delighted to start the year with a mix by London-based and Shanghai-rooted modular sound artist, DJ and performer - co-founder of independent music platform ARCHIVES - Kaiyumi. Kai's journey gradually unfolds from glitchy ambient to shamanic downtempo  rhythms, englobed by colorful atmospheres and filled with emotion.

Today I am so happy to welcome my friend fka boursin to Deep Mind Music, with a quietly reflective entry for the end of January. 

It was around this time of year back in 2022, that I first remember having a deep chat with fka boursin about our mutual interest in the power of ambient. We were both equally enthused to encounter another AmbientAddict and quickly rattled off artists, labels and tracks for each other to check. I have found in fka boursin a similarly discerning soul, not just in music, but life in general, and his intricate mix for Deep Mind Music reflects his thoughtful character.

A patient mix that rewards patient listening, fka boursin has crafted a narrative that skilfully dances between washes of sepia-toned warm drones, and–as he puts it below–“material sounds”, such as whirling whizzes of machines or twittering birds, which give us a sense of place. The perfect soundtrack to a meditative drift of the mind between thoughts and reality. I have greatly enjoyed listening to it on cold misty walks over the past week, and hope you do too ☁️🪶🤍

Some words from fka boursin about the mix:

When considering the themes for this mix, I drew from the different approaches that Sybil and I use in our work. Sybil says that themes for her come from “more of a feeling/colour/texture than something     explainable” which is in contrast with my desire for explicit material reference points. Though these approaches might be seen as existing on a somewhat linear abstract vs material scale, there is a large overlap in the sonic characters that they each employ. Here, I have deliberately mixed with tracks that perhaps encourage one to get “lost” (abstract) before pulling the listener back into the room using what I consider to be “material” sounds. Paradoxically though, those sounds are often perceived as feeling/colour/texture anyway, leading Sybil and I to the same musical end points. To me, this firstly emphasises the limitations of audio and secondly may partly explain why Sybil and I get on so well.

It is transience's aim to create a temporary suspension of reality where listeners can recenter and reflect with a supportive sonic environment. During the current g3noc1de in G a z a and the surrounding areas, many of us are feeling massive amounts of grief, anger, and all manner of other emotions that it's hard to know what to do with. In Germany, and in particular in Berlin, we're witnessing new levels of state repression on freedom of movement and expression. It's really important during such times to take care to regulate ourselves and help care for one another, so that we can organise and continue the ongoing work of fighting for freedom. 

For this episode of transience we are glad to welcome  to have sound artist + designer, DJ and radio host, MINQ @soundslikeminq as this month's guest. transience host, Lou Drago met MINQ at the ambient floor at Whole Festival 2022, and soon bonded through their shared interests in sound-based mindfulness practices such as Deep Listening. MINQ has been facilitating workshops with the aim to discover what lies at the intersection of mindfulness, movement and sound in QTBIPoc-centered spaces with their research project and workshop series Sonic Utopias | Research Lab. They also have a monthly show on Refugee Worldwide called Sonic Utopias.

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.
