Proxima Selections - Hanoi Community Radio

The circuitry of curiosity, the playfulness of the patch, the sublime in the subfrequency. Coalescing together in an emotive dance, these eloquent elements comprise the foundation of JakoJako's approach to music. Whether you find her deeply engrossed in her modular system, performing live at Berghain as a part of the Leisure System crew, or working behind the counter at the legendary Berlin synth shop SchneidersLaden, her profound knowledge and passion for translating her external and internal worlds into sonic anomalies permeate throughout everything she does. 

Versatility and virtuosity are the common threads woven into her productions, such as her recent album with Unrush founder Mareena Altas Der Gedanken on Muzan Editions. The same can be said for her mix here, which features everything from traditional southern Laotian music to øjeRum and Steve Roach. As a close friend and collaborator of Unrush, her contribution is long overdue. We couldn't conceive of a better artist to bring us into the warmer months with a glimmer of hope and a glimpse into the infinite...

Donato Dozzyは日本にいる多くの友人たちへの想いを馳せ、またLabyrinthで私たちの前でプレイすることを思い描きつつこのミックスを作りました。彼の奏でる音楽にまた身を委ねる日が待ち遠しいですね。

Donato Dozzy - For Labyrinth

Warm up mode, ambient into beats. Recorded live in February 2022.

Warm up 2022

Up next in our mix series is Berlin based Dutch-Italian recording and performing artist Grand River (@grandriver). Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Aimée. In the musical landscape nowadays it often seems to be all about the final result (or product even) rather than the process and path before it. With your music it feels that it's more about the process of making rather than the final outcome. Where does your profound interest for experimenting with audio and composing come from?
 
GR: Nice to hear that you see it that way and to know that it may be perceived like this from the outside as well. The work itself and how we experience the process is what matters most. It’s not always easy to be mindful about how everything is created along the way. The end result or end product is important, but if you don’t enjoy the process of how you get there, I don’t think it makes much sense to even undertake the journey. And of course this applies to many aspects of life.
 
MFM: You've got a rich experience in doing technical work for and at radio stations and with other kinds of media. Did you have someone to teach you all the ins & outs of audio and technical production?
 
GR: Most of the technical work I learned directly through working as I did not go to any audio school to study sound design or audio engineering. When I started to work as an audio engineer for radio stations and other media outlets 13-14 years ago, there were not many audio schools like there are now. Back then, the people I worked with were mainly composers that had learned audio engineering on their own, just as I had. However, as a child, I was formally taught music theory and musical instruments. That, of course, came long before the technical work.
 
MFM: Your first official release dates are from 2017 but you had been active with experimenting, composing, and recording for a much longer time already. At what point did you find yourself confident and pleased enough to share your productions with the outside world?
 
GR: When I moved to Berlin in 2015 I took the first few years to research and study the sound I wanted to express and felt a connection to. Long before that, I was building and playing other genres. It takes time to find your sound and style, and the interesting part is that it continues to evolve over time. Even when you think you’ve found it, it still changes slightly.
 
MFM: Do you go to the studio religiously, regardless of whether you feel inspired or motivated? Do you have a certain routine when working in the studio?  
 
GR: I don’t go to the studio religiously, at least not to make music. 
I do work every day, but often I am just sitting in my studio listening to music, writing emails, or having meetings. Many people don’t know how much work is behind a project. From the outside, what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. I mostly compose in phases; I might compose a lot for two months and then the next month I will be focused on researching, or preparing a live show, recording a mix like I did for you, or creating a sound installation. I need time to absorb what I compose and let it rest, and then get back to it.
 
MFM: Are there any new projects that you're working on and can share with us? 
 
GR: I am working on several beautiful projects at the moment. This year I am working on different collaborations of which the releases will follow in the near future. I have a new album coming out either at the end of the year or beginning of 2023. I am currently working on an immersive installation and I will also be premiering a new AV show with the visual artist Marco Ciceri this summer.

Dark times call for dark music. There is something about the cold catharsis of winter that inspires our next guest, Eònan. Making a name for himself in the caverns of Berlin over the last half-decade, he has carved out his niche through a series of timbre-filled techno trips for his Lucidmind imprint. However, it was his ambient mix for the same label which showcased a more sanguine side to his taste and thereby caught our ear. Here he has once again amassed a monolith of musicality, illuminating a path forward through the longest nights.

"Abstract but balanced picture. Fractal melodies inside a for-loop, with a number of finite iterations chosen by the author. Textures and oscillating tonal clusters that make you change of phase. Stages of experiences, repeated. In a loop..."

ameeva (@ameeva) is an electronic music artist based in Berlin since 2019. His soundscapes incorporate rough textures and hidden rhythms, exploring the borders between ambient, drone, and field recordings. With a focus on human narratives and lived experiences, ameeva's music ranges from delicate and vaporous to dense walls and driving cycles. His sonic scenes aim to shake memories, capture the eternity of the mundane, and uncover the emotional architecture of being. ameeva has released works on labels such as Lowless and 9128’s curated by A Strangely Isolated Place. He is now primarily focused on live performances, improvisations, and self-released work. ameeva together with Javi are the brains behind .apart (@apartlabel) an open minded musical platform and label.

"Close the eyes and concentrate on the sixth chakra. Open the third eye to reach a proper vibrational synchrony with the universe. Of a quantum wave vibrations that allow to explain the universal balances. A utopian and celestial conjecture. Of invisible sound waves that allow to explain the movement of our things. Analogies of a journey through acid."

Spacer (@its_spacer) discovered electronic music in clubs, which immediately turned her into a dancefloor addict. In her sets she explores sounds without understanding boundaries and seeks, beyond the genre, to thrill and connect with people. A musical journey with the perfect combination of acid, electro, breaks and everything in between. Spacer is currently part of the Local Talent line-up on Human (Razzmatazz - Barcelona). Besides, she conducts "Orígens", in the bar and cultural bunker Rouge. A cycle of intimate conversations and dj sets with DJs, producers and other figures who have been pioneers in the electronic music scene in Barcelona.
