That is the only god I could imagine believing in, a god whose passion is not redemption, who saves nothing, fulfils no purpose--a god who simply is.” 
― Stanisław Lem, Solaris

Back in the early seventies, Edward Artemiev created a wonderful and prophetic soundtrack for Andrei Tarkovsky’s cinema adaptation of Stanislaw Lem’s book Solaris, a study of the clash between faith and science presented as a sci-fi story of astronauts who encounter a mystical and superior intelligence which exists as an ocean on a distant planet. The soundtrack, as well as Artemiev’s own extended adaptations of it, and his music for Stalker and The Mirror have recently been re-released on vinyl by Russian collectors’ label MiruMir. These synthesised ambient works, far ahead of their time, should be heard anyone who loves or has any interest in ambient music.

For me, the outstanding feature of the Solaris soundtrack was the repeated and varied use of J.S. Bach’s sublime chorale prelude BWV 639, “Ich ruf' zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ” from the Little Organ Book. I became obsessed with it, collecting and compiling different versions, especially Isao Tomita’s wonderful adaptations, also inspired by the film.

As a tribute to all of the above creative masters, this is my offering to one of the great directors, one of the great authors and two of the great composers. If it is too long, that is because I am still obsessed with it.

Chefs Surprise

Iconoclastic Buddhist Línjì Yìxuán once remarked, "The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on earth." This profound statement serves as a reminder of the sheer beauty of our planet. We often take for granted the ground beneath our feet and the simple wonders that our ecosystem supports. Everyday activities like walking under a blue sky, feeling the breeze on our skin, or listening to a songbird's melody remind us that Earth is a precious host offering endless marvels.

"Breath," the latest album by Bordeaux-based producer Frank Zaragoza under his Ocoeur project, is a heartfelt tribute to these earthly wonders. This album, perhaps his most sincere and ambitious to date, comprises seven tracks that reflect Zaragoza's deep appreciation for the world around us. "Breath" is tranquil, peaceful, and meditative, yet its expansive, cinematic scope evokes vivid images of Earth's stunning landscapes. The album is both elegantly captivating and a poignant call for peace on our planet.

With "Breath," Zaragoza elevates his Ocoeur project to new heights, celebrating the marvels of the physical world around us. Breath is out on September 6th 2024.

"British ambient band Marconi Union has drummed up the world's most relaxing song: Weightless is 8 mins 10 sec. of aural bliss" - Time Magazine, Best Inventions of the Year. 

"An excellent compilation from the always interesting Just Music" - The Sunday Times

"The Ambient Zone is an album that feels like the world is peeling away, layer by layer, into multi-colored panoramas, just for you" - Echoes (CD of The Month)

The Ambient Zone is a beautiful journey into ambient and electronica inspired by universal themes of calmness, purity, relaxation and enrichment where Weightless is coupled with some exclusive first releases and other blissfully ambient tracks from Just Music artists and alumni.

Created instinctively and intuitively by Marconi Union, Weightless has been claimed to have therapeutic properties in the way the track almost appears to have a heartbeat running through it which slows down very gently throughout the piece, encouraging a deep sense of relaxation in the body, It's use of specific rhythms, beep bass tones, frequencies and intervals induce an almost trance like state in the listener.

"The Ambient Zone is an album that just screams (albeit quietly) of pure class" - Fluid Nation.

Norwegian-Algerian DJ-producer Karima F delivers a stunning self-titled debut EP on her label Schloss - an imprint she runs out of a disused Porsche repair shop. 

Ahead of its release on February 1, Karima F has offered up the first single on the three-track 12", 'Random Loop From Doepfer Site' - a track driven by voluminous breaks and bubbling synth compositions that give way to something more ethereal.

This work, features some new convolution topology morphing ideas (executed in CDP) and hours of painstaking molecular level editing in the drop. It was worked on in 3 movements, similar to my working modality on This Binary Universe.

As it relates to the "drop". I'd like to refer you to the last 4 minutes of Mad Skillz Mic Check. That's 1999. *rests case your honor*

In digging around in some of these new FFT/Spectral/convolution ideologies, I've come up with some compelling new addendum's for both Stutter Edit and other unreleased technologies (with my software partners iZotope).

The video is a collaborative work with the pioneering Randy Halverson and Subtractive. I can't wait for you all to see this. Links below.

Thank you all for supporting my work.

Now available to preorder: asip.me/asipv020

Taken from Olga Wojciechowska's release on ASIP titled 'Infinite Distances', released November 4th 2019. 

Initially put together in memory of a family member, Olga Wojciechowska’s new album, 'Infinite Distances' is built around a similar-sounding melody that appears across the backbone of the album - the sign of something that won’t let go. Opening with ‘Images Imprisoned Within You’, the beautiful orchestral piece sets the tone for a potentially optimistic journey. But the album, with its changes in direction and varying emotion portrayed throughout the seven tracks, somehow always ends up at the same place. It was a memory Olga couldn’t shake. 

Told through several different approaches, varying from expansive modern-classical pieces, to more experimental and electronic touches in tracks like ‘Memory Of The Pioneers’ and ’Starless Water’; ‘Infinite Distances’ is a personal recollection that spans the emotions surrounding the feelings of loss; the highs, the lows, the polaroid-like happy memories, the ones that you never want to let go, and those that will never quite fade away. 

In contrast to the inspiration behind the album, the artwork from Marco Vannini brings a vivid and subjective aspect to the release, whilst maintaining the idea of fragmented and juxtaposing memories together in one place. 

As a true multi-instrumentalist, Olga has produced as Strië, for Serein with ‘Perpetual Journey’ (2018) and previously as her true name Olga Wojciechowska for the likes of Time Released Sound. Olga has also produced alongside Erik Skodvin on Sonic Pieces, collaborated with Greg Haines and reworked Nathan Fake on Ninja Tune. Olga can also be heard in the more contemporary space with commissions by Oslo Opera House and the Royal Opera House.

(aka The Skaline Drone)
January 2011
*
The dance of the weedy sea dragon takes place every year in the shallow seas off the coast of Australia. During the ghostly dance, two beautifully odd-looking fish mirror each other's every movement. At the end of the ritual, the male fish is the one to get pregnant, giving birth two months later.

Maybe you want to watch ‘Life - Weedy seadragons dance into the night - BBC One’ on YouTube (with the sound switched off) while listening to this track:
