came across the file for a mix I did for @a-xioma back in 2016
sometimes it's hard to find enough distance from things you've recorded to be able to appreciate them
but this is so long ago that it feels unrecognizable
somehow connected to so much of what i love now but there's still a disconnection from the person who recorded it
wild trip into the past, trying to shazam some of this back into my memory !

much love to @fru_tto for asking me to participate in this amazing mix series all those years ago. artwork is a draft I made when working on the logo with frutto back then
hope you enjoy this revisit <3

An intimate glimpse seemingly into Malvern’s own home, complete with warmups, soundchecks, voices from the other room. A straying mess from left to right, shut the blinds, turn the telly on.

5 GATE TEMPLE ft. MIDEX 031023

Ukrainian Field Notes VA is a fundraising compilation with a difference, music with a backstory that gives a first-hand account of the unfolding events since the full-scale Russian invasion in real time, and presents an overview of the changing face of the Ukrainian music scene dictated by blackouts and curfew restrictions.

What started off as an ongoing series of interviews with Ukrainian artists for the experimental music website A Closer Listen has now become a book comprising all 170 interviews conducted over the course of a year mapping out the electronic and experimental scene in Ukraine.

All musicians involved were asked to submit a track composed after February 24, 2022 to mark its publication. The resulting material reflects the diaristic nature of the book and deals with PTSD, displacement, separation, and loss, and shows at the same time the strength and resilience of Ukrainian artists with a meditative and uplifting reach.

The track listing follows the chronological order of the interviews, switching from ambient and electronic to classical and experimental in a seemingly random fashion, but war is chaotic and shattering, or as Serhii Zhadan writes in Sky Above Kharkiv, “War sharply changes ways of seeing, changes feelings.” Ukrainian Field Notes is a testament to the shifting sonic and human landscape.

Ukrainian Field Notes VA - це благодійна фандрайзінгова компіляція, що відрізняється від інших, музика з передісторією, яка розповідає з перших вуст про події, що розгортаються з моменту повномасштабного російського вторгнення в режимі реального часу, і представляє огляд зміни обличчя української музичної сцени, продиктованої відключенням електроенергії та обмеженнями комендантської години.

Те, що починалося як серія інтерв'ю з українськими музикантами для сайту експериментальної музики A Closer Listen, тепер перетворилося на книгу, що містить усі 170 інтерв'ю, взятих протягом року, які окреслюють електронну та експериментальну сцену в Україні.

Щоб відзначити її публікацію, всім музикантам, які брали участь в інтерв'ю, було запропоновано надіслати трек, написаний після 24 лютого 2022 року. Отриманий матеріал відображає щоденниковий характер книги і стосується ПТСР, переміщення, розлуки та втрати, а також демонструє силу та стійкість українських митців з медитативним та піднесеним звучанням.

Трек-лист відповідає хронологічному порядку інтерв'ю, переходячи від ембієнту та електроніки до класики та експериментальної музики у, здавалося б, випадковий спосіб, але війна є хаотичною та руйнівною, або, як пише Сергій Жадан у "Небі над Харковом", "війна різко змінює способи бачення, змінює почуття". "Ukrainian Field Notes VA" - це свідчення мінливого звукового та людського ландшафту.

Kim Myhr & Lasse Marhaug - 31.5.17 [excerpt]

009

 On this episode of F.B.I. Pathology Report we explore the conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted for about 30 years from the late 1960s to 1998, known as The Troubles.
For this episode, I decided not to write a description for it's facts, 
placing a selected piece from a poem by Douglas McClarty instead.

"Yet I remembered when we all seemed to be free
When we played together Seamus, Paddy and me
At a time when our names didn't condemn us to blame
If you were a child of the troubles.
Both sides trying to score more killing points
A grotesque game played out each day
Why should they make us all pay
If you were a child of the troubles.
Somehow one day the killing all suddenly stopped
Then it was just shouting about who was to blame
It's much better than bombs, bullets and blood
If you were a child of the troubles."

 The ironic resemblance of past & present situations that reminds of the famous quote “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” by George Santayana [The Life of Reason, 1905. From the series Great Ideas of Western Man,] & a writing found on Maurizio Bianchi's industrial masterpiece [& one of the pioneer artists & records of the genre] "Symphony For a Genocide" [1981], stated as the moral of the work itself, quote 
"The past punishment is the inevitable blindness of the present".

Sin of The Father/Hands Of Providence is a multifaceted project based in London.
Operating and collaborating with Islington ARts and performance collective Chronic Illness. Using array of contrasts/juxtapositions and contradictions within his artwork & audio projects, his approach is to explore duality of things found along the way.

Mixed from Moscow by @djsheyman

A new mix for our profound series was recorded by Moscow musician and sound producer Ilya Sheyman, who is also 1/2 of the psycho-electroacoustic duet @brodyachayasobaka, and co-founder of the experimental music community @altmoscow. In February, Ilya independently released the album 'broken pets'.

«50 minutes of reflections on nothing, vague songs, voices scattered in the air, young awkward drums, adult synthesizers and a whole reserve of sounds from the Red Book: creaks, blows, howls, the noise of helicopter blades and tired parquet. I tried to convey the feeling when everything around is frozen, although it is in motion.»

Wave Channel is back with a late April Episode featuring Myalo.
 
Diving into different topics ranging from sociology to neuroscience, conscious and unconscious behaviors, Myalo aims to explore the different aspects of what we call mind/soul through his musical experiments. Guided by everydays sound, media malfunctions and aleatoric composition, Myalo’s sound ranges from introspective ambient works constellated by fragmented textures to slow and bassy rhythmic tracks and high pitched digital glitches. 

To further explore the mind, Myalo started MNEMOSYNE, both a label and a memory driven mix series of “sound collages”, where artists can musically describe themselves with all kinds of sound data and influences.

For this episode on Wave Channel he maps out a comprehensive landscape of contemporary electronic music, layering a variety of sounds for a new sonic journey.

Welcome to the Wave.
