FALL2023

Living Room n°58 ~ @optovolokonniy

q. pls introduce yourself

a. as Vlady, I work in cybersecurity. In my non-working hours, I perform under aliases ϙue, dj chlorophyll, am co-curating @biorhythmradio, @ickpakyiv, creating bio installations, and recently formed a project «OO0oϙ0O0O00O» with oa. 

As ϙue, I apply multiple psycho-acoustic techniques to embark a listener on an introspective trip, where two of us seek to explore the concept of ego death and delve into the depths of consciousness through deep listening and self-reflection.


q. is there a story behind the mix?

a. For the last 1.5 years, my main pursuit has been presenting contemporary Ukrainian cultural and musical heritage in Europe. This mixtape is a logical continuation of Sasha Very’s https://soundcloud.com/cminuss/sasha-very-present-ukraine. The main motif is Ukrainian artists, who witnessed firsthand the preciousness of life and the woe of death. The major part of sound material gathered here is songs, tracks, and compositions created during the 2022-2023 full-scale invasion.


q. what's the best way to enjoy your mix?

a. Thinking, appreciating, and developing a sense of care about the joy of “simple” things in your life. 

You may not realise how much your like, comment, Bandcamp purchase, an invitation to make an interview, an invitation to your podcast series, or to record a mix can make an immense difference to someone whose survival and “tomorrow” does not come for granted. Here, I mean any Ukrainian who has not crossed the border since February 24, 2022. 

And if this one-hour overview of the musical landscape sparks within you an interest in Ukrainian underground scene, my goal is accomplished.


q. describe a favorite object in your living room...

a. For the last three months, I had to move places five times, so my living room was always shifting :] 

But I always have my 12-centimeter glass sphere with me. Being an optical filter, it serves as a reminder about the delusional nature of our perception and that experiences are limited — words, visions, smells, touch. Hence, I believe one can only trust their mental images (the language we think and dream in). Which I find funny how easily we, myself included, forget about this basic nature of things. So I carry this physical reminder with me.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)? 

a. There are some. 

A few weeks ago, after a gentle push from our mutual dear friend Frog of Earth, oa and me formed a sound-art duo «ОО0оϙ0О0О00О». Olenka is a muse to me in mysterious ways which I am yet to understand. We are working on songs, remixes and a body-music performance where our brainwaves and body electricity are processed through synths.  

Earlier in June, there was a debut of the OFF-ICKPA stage in Arkaoda Berlin where I played with other Kiiberboreans (s/o to @ecology141): super inter, TIBSLC, and Andriy Kostyukov — coincidentally, the latter two also have released LR mixes (both are strongly recommended to listen next). I worked a lot on this one and planning the next year’s festival edition. 

And since mid-2022, Kharkiv’s @comechelet and I are working on a collab release by exchanging stems via the web. So far, our first finished work has traveled some internet sites — Noods, HÖR, and 3XL. These days, as I am writing answers to this mini-interview, Comechelet is shooting a music video in southern France for our second single. 

That’s it, love u LR peeps. Many hugs.

Living Room n°59 - @mu_tate

q. pls introduce yourself
a. Artur / mu tate / mu

q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. it always starts with a few pieces that capture a particular mood or have a distinctive sonic quality that makes me want to build a whole hour of music around. i’m mostly interested in the emotional response that inevitably comes with listening and less so in the production as such. i like to take my time so each mix ends up soundtracking at least a month of my life. here the spoken word bits set the scene, instrumental pieces then try to accentuate and expand on that theme, take it further or in another direction all together. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. i mostly record mixes with the idea of home listening since it’s my favourite way to enjoy music. it’s an evening listen rather than morning for this one.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...
a. a burkhard vogtherr hombre chair that i got off etsy for £70. My favourite thing to sit on and to look at. 

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. yes and no. we’re still working on some bits for the recent 3XL/Utter record like physical copies and a video. other than that i’m doing things at a much slower pace, exchanging stems but nothing that i myself plan on showing.

~ Deep Breakfast 228 by Marja Burchard & Polygonia ~

~ This live set was recorded at Goethe Institut, Kolkata on April 2023 during their ambient music workshop ~

Marja Burchard is a composer, performer, artist and multi-instrumentalist. She was born as the only daughter of Christian Burchard, the founder of the music band Embryo. Having born and raised within the band, she has taken the role of leading the band herself since the death of her father in 2018. She has toured with Embryo in several countries around the world, including Japan, Morocco, Turkey, England, India etc. After studying ethnology, Slavic philology and musicology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Marja devoted herself solely to music. Since the age of nineteen until now she has been playing and composing in other bands like: Karl Hektor and the Malcouns, Radio Citizen, Karaba, Express Brass Band, World Wide Wig, Séferia and Jisr. Since 2018, she has been composing music for plays such as "Shush" by Eszter Tompa at Teatrul Gong in Sibiu (Romania), "Kill the Audience" by Rabih Mroué at the Kammerspiele in Munich, at the puppet theatre "Theater Ananas" in Munich, as well as for the street theatre AntagonTheateraktion from Frankfurt am Main, with which she has performed at various international theatre festivals such as in Brazil, Siberia, Romania, etc. Since 2015 she has been working with the Finnish dancer Anna Orkolainen, with whom she has developed, composed and performed many pieces such as "Die Regentrude", "Spiderweb", Porotanssi" or "der letzte Seraphim". She lives and works in Munich. Apart from being a singer she plays several instruments like the vibraphone, piano, organ, accordion, trombone, santoor, marimba, drums and percussion instruments.

Polygonia represents a multidisciplinary music and art project conceived by Lindsey Wang from Munich, Germany. The soundscape of her own productions conveys a mystical, organic character and is characterized by driving complex rhythms. Polygonia’s sound palette ranges from energetic, dark deep techno to downtempo, grey area to textural and/or harmonic ambient. In addition, motifs from nature play a major role in many of her productions. Her DJ and live sets are characterized by a hypnotizing effect that invites one to completely lose oneself in the complex world of sounds for a longer period of time. Polygonia has already visited numerous of international prestigious venues. She is now a regular at Tresor or Berghain in Berlin, Blitz or Rote Sonne in Munich to name a few. Together with the artists Dycide and MTRL, she established her collective and label IO in 2018. In 2021, Polygonia launched the collaborative band project Lyder with the musicians Niklas Bühler and Moritz Stahl, focusing on the fusion of jazz and electronic music. In July 2022, she founded her own label QEONE. In addition, she manages the premiere and podcast platform Hadal Resonance.

a. in a still and quiet place.

q. describe a favorite object in your living room...

Low End Theorists, the Sydney-based audio journal, arrives at FR with a mix brimming with soothing textures and strange but enveloping tones — a warm tribute to the inspiring soundscapes they’ve been shaping through their inspiring Theory Therapy (@theory-therapy) mix series and label since 2021. 

‘Me and Dan recorded this one on a Saturday arvo in my sunroom. We’ve been recording mixes for about 5 years now, so the way we put them together has become pretty intuitive. This one is just a continuation of what we’ve always done – playing music we both love and not overthinking it’.
