We've been tuning into to Harold's mixes for just under a year now, so were buzzing when this hour and a half madness popped up in our inbox. 

Harold runs Australian label and mix series Steeplejack. After a string of wicked releases, Steeplejack recently announced their debut LP, put together by Glome. 'Popular Moments For You And I' will be released later this month and we highly recommend you check it out.

This mix is a trip, we're not going to try and describe it, reckon hit play and you'll enjoy....

"I wonder what it feels like to be translucent. How does it feel to have light pass through you, your fingers, your memories, your emotions? Can a relationship conduct light? Do these relationships spiral out from each other, illuminating each other in chain-like succession? Light is a particle and a wave. I have no answers."

Marie Wilhelmine Anders is a wanderer in music.

Since she was 5 years old, she has had violin and music theory lessons. But it was the piano that had to come into the house. For three years she taught herself and invented music whenever she came along. Her wish to study composition was fulfilled at the University Of The Arts Berlin, but only after a excursion into sound engineering, the East Berlin underground music scene (as a keyboarder) and drum playing. Her versatility was probably as much a part of her cradle as her enormous musical talent. She made excursions into sound art (sound installations in Berlin and Nuertingen) and could not be satisfied with writing a score. She therefore completed her music studies in Stuttgart, where she was able to realise her great talent for musical improvisation, her joy of movement and the desire to become a music teacher.

During this time, in addition to her solo activities as an improvisor (piano and electronics), she founded two ensembles - Unterton and Hammerhaus - which brought together groove and free-flowing improvised forms from different perspectives. She initiated and directed "momentmusik" - a "concert series for experimental and improvised music, visual arts, performance and language" at the "Theater Rampe Stuttgart", which established the connection between her ensembles and the national and international scene.

In 2005 she ended her concert activity and moved back to Berlin. She learned to play the electric bass, began producing her music with Cubase and publishing it under the pseudonym Marie Wilhelmine Anders.

She discovered the poems of Robert Louis Stevenson and began to develop her new electronic musical language along his verses. Marie's conceptual thinking and her craft as a modern classical composer allow her to congenially translate his lyrics into a modern electronic language, which is influenced by techno and electronica. She has released three albums since then. Particularly noteworthy among them are the 2020 releases on the Munich record label Broque: "Andersworld" and the recently released "Andersworld Remixes".



Her best friend writes:

"Marie works her way out of all restrictions and experiments with styles and musical directions. Whereby she adapts formal means and creates something very own. As always, I am impressed by her accuracy in everything she does. Marie is the secret phoenix among my friends, who puts on a new and even more splendid plumage after each ashes. I have great admiration for their consistency, uncompromisingness, unconditional honesty, absolute fidelity and loyalty. One speaks of the phoenix as an eternally youthful bird. And he can fly anyway. Only that it cannot be seen by everyone. But times are changing."

The book of choice is Fernando Pessoa’s ’The Book of Disquiet’. Reading Pessoa is like looking into a mirror made of words, gazing into the most intimate corners of your soul with the eyes of a stranger. He reaches with delicacy what I consider to be the highest form of literature: the sincere expression of all those emotions and sensations that each one of us have participated in just by the sake of being human, from a sleepless night to the wonder of what’s the meaning of life. 

He casts a light on the darkness of our understanding, for, as he says: 'The entire life of the human soul is mere motions in the shadows. We live in a twilight of consciousness, never in accord with whom we are or think we are. We all have our vanity, and that vanity is our way of forgetting that there are other people with a soul like our own. //  There is an equal, abstract destiny for men and for things; both have an equally indifferent designation in the algebra of the world’s mystery. //  We never know self-realization. We are two abysses – a well staring at the sky.'

Night Travel On A Blanket

Night Travel on a Blanket - A story by Claudia

Sigo con mi exploración de los diferentes caminos del techno, que ya no es techno, es electrónica pausada o acelerada, depende del rango de bpms que se utilice, de ahí el nombre de este mix, "90 x 180". Los tempos son tan lejanos que se juntan y se pueden mezclar, pareciendo en ocasiones Drum and bass (180)y en otras dub techno hiperlento (90).
El resultado carece de etiquetas pero creo que es algo personal e hipnótico.

______

I continue my exploration of the different paths of Techno. In this mix, I wanted to explore the different speeds in which you can find music that could still be categorised as Techno. The title, 90x180 is a reflection of how tempos blend to a point where your mind feels alienated with the rhythm. Slow dub blending with very fast rhythms harmonically fighting each other. The result, hard to classify, is a very hypnotic and personal set.

One of the great powers music has is to synchronize our senses with a specific place, time, and feeling. Anja Zaube utilizes this aspect well, whether it be through her blissfully cathartic DJ sets or her intentional and well-executed live sets. Here we are presented with the latter,  an excursion into the depths of Anja's personal sonic universe that brings us into the elements and out of the body. Layered with thickets of field recordings, live synth work, and delicately pulsating percussion, it plays as one long-form piece that gradually shifts and seduces the mind. With close ties to ://about blank and the Berlin underground, Anja channels a certain mystique and sound that is characteristic of all that goes on here. So lose yourself in this special live edition of UNRUSH and feel time start to slip away...

Thanks a lot https://soundcloud.com/anja-zaube

Shimmering Moods is an independent boutique ambient label based in Amsterdam. In the last couple of years, it has released albums by Halftribe, Andrew Tasselmyer, Anthéne, øjeRum, Purl, and Olan Mill, among the many recognized names in its quickly growing roster of artists. It's easy to get lost in its catalog among the hazy, shuffling, dubbed-out sounds, glinting and shimmering, reflecting the light off the still misty waters. This is a very tranquil and radiant place, slightly subdued in its faint hazy colors. "The music offers the listener a soundtrack for daydreaming, walks around the city or in nature, a creative activity, meditation, or invites them to a fully concentrated listen." Today I am happy to share these sounds with you in this special label showcase compiled exclusively for Headphone Commute. And if you like what you hear, be sure to visit the label's Bandcamp shop, where every limited release is lovingly packaged, hand-made, and bespoke, awaiting to meet at your doorsteps and share its wonders.

For a download, full tracklisting, and more details on the mix, please stop by headphonecommute.com and subscribe to our podcast! As always, please enjoy responsibly and support the featured artists!
