Sauna Mix #15 - Long Form Conditions

I dreamt that I was very young, in a group of children defending an old house against adults. We had only a stone-thrower and wooden sticks. The adults seemed greedy and insane, and I felt powerless and angry.

Lichene - Freeform Music Selection: Filippo Scorcucchi, Sandra Mason, Skeno

Kaspar Ravel (they/them) is an artist and researcher in tactical media, exploring the cultural value of mediums like tape recordings, studio-quality audio, and YouTube rips. As a DJ, they integrate these techno-social textures into deconstructed club beats and aerial phenomena experiences. Currently an artist-in-residence at Sorbonne University, Kaspar also hosts *Backseat Waiting in the Yellow Car* on LYL Radio, where they share and discuss their favorite tracks.

Traditionally a real-time improviser, Thorn applies the same method here: live improvisation, spontaneous structure-building, and experimental mélanges of violin and code. Many of its foggy textures derive from Haze, a tool he developed for generating densely patterned lo-fi soundscapes.

A sonic memoir imbued with violin and experimental code, a curious doubling of terms begins at the churning waters of Necarney Creek merging with the Pacific. Unfolding from pure lyricism into machinic textures, the music summons the verdant twilight of the primeval forest and the glow of the city lights it ad-umbrates. The machinic is both refuge and trial in this work, though the final word is the fracturing, hard-driven logic-become-logistics that may signal a morbid dénouement.

Seth Thorn - What Lies Before

"if" is a haunting and beautiful piece that captures a wistful, melancholic mood, written for the fictional short film "In the rain, on a street corner".

"if" features a repeated piano melody and intertwining glockenspiel and wind instruments, with emotional resonance and minimalist storytelling. This piece will stir something in you and leave a lasting impression.

✨ MIRAGE OF THE MEDINA  
Step into the mysticism of Morocco, where desert winds meet lantern-lit alleys. “Mirage of the Medina” blends non-lexical Sufi-inspired chants, whispered Arabic blessings (qalb = heart, ruh = spirit, layl = night), and layered group hums with oud arpeggios, darbuka grooves, ney flute sighs, and brass bowl resonance. 

This session is rooted in Maghreb ritual sound — where the medina’s tiled courtyards, incense smoke, and moonlit dunes carry centuries of music, memory, and spirit. Designed for warm nights, deep listening, and trance-like wanderings.

▸ REGION: Morocco / Maghreb — Sufi chants, Berber echoes, medina rituals  
▸ VOCALS: nonverbal Sufi-style chants, whispered tokens, desert wind hums  
▸ INSTRUMENTS: oud, darbuka, riq, ney flute, handclaps, brass bowl, wind FX  
▸ MOOD: hypnotic • sultry • lantern-lit trance

Edition VIII of Kizen Seasonal Mix Series to celebrate nature, seasons, and the music that accompanied us.

Winter Solstice 2019 Mix by ARIO (Astral Industries)

Astral Industries founder Ario is a practitioner of deep and inquisitive music - both as a DJ and label curator. He is known for his alchemic handling of rich organicism mixed with darker, more austere sounds. Speaking with an emotive sensitivity, there is a certain self-awareness that permeates his crafted soundscapes, which are as much drone-inspired as they are psychedelic and nature-driven.
Since 2014, the UK-based record label is probably best known for its enlightening and enchanting vinyl releases as well as brilliant artwork by Theo Ellsworth. Their sound is immersively psychedelic, yet at the same time, it is imbued with a distinctly human quality – something that was relatable yet ethereal. Their work has provided new take-ons on obscure and forgotten gems of the past that deserve artistic reinterpretation.
