Starting a series of mixes from djs who play at House of Plants audible fotosynthesis. First up is my old friend Gavin who has been laying down proper techno and deepness as long as i've known him. This mix is a fine example of his approach casting deep into different areas of textures and vibes and keeping it tight.

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.

We welcome label artist @futuristant to the show for episode 32!

Futuristant is an alchemist and his productions are a real melting pot of nostalgic influences, he doesn’t limit himself in just one style but always maintains that retro futuristic touch that makes him recognizable.

Buying his first turntables at the age of 14 - Christian made a name for himself in his hometown of Rome within a few short years, playing in all the best clubs. In 2014 he founded the project Riesen with his friend Davide. Riesen’s music has been multiple times in Top 100 Beatport being supported and played from djs like Maceo Plex, ARTBAT, Above and Beyond and many others. Their releases propelled them the chance to play in many different countries around Europe and beyond. In 2018 Christian created Futuristant, his solo project made to experiment with different sounds and contrasting influences. The first release ‘Future Dance’ on Encants Records was a big success and shot him quickly into a wider audience, having been supported by Solomun multiple times that year. 

Since then the enigmatic Futuristant has released on labels such as Bordello a Parigi, Ombra International, Roam Recordings, Aeon Audio, Rotten City, Nein Recordings, and most recently on Kompakt Records.

Omg my show turned 30! It's older than me! 

This one I discover there's this shimmery thing called POST-DUB, which I explored in the climactically apocalyptic rain conditions that lasted for 7 days. Rain against windowpane ect ect.

Verdant- a lush, saturated, emerald green. The colour of the plants outside (and inside, after I've had too much time in my room to over-water the poor buggers), and the colour of this mix.
