ambient experimental

@forestonstasys (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

Argentinian artist Forest on Stasys takes us on a deep exploration of organic and meditative sounds. Heavily inspired by tribal and minimalist techno, his mix is infused with atmospheric sounds, rhythmic percussions and continuous grooves. His sounds will guide you through a world of dub and deep techno, oscillating between contemplative sounds and entrancing beats which will make you temporarily escape into a natural realm.

Melifera Podcast ⬢ Forest On Stasys

This is a live recording, captured at Ego club in Düsseldorf, June 5 1999.  The music has been created with a self written step sequencer, the PX-18, controlling  a basic sample player and effects engine, all done in MaxMSP, running on a Powerbook G3. The step sequencer had some unique features, e.g. the ability to switch patterns independently in each track, which later became an important part of a certain music software.

I found the recording on a backup disk today. It has not been edited or mastered. During the first 20 minutes of the set, and before the 'encore' the Monolake CD 'Gobi' is playing in the background. 
 

Monolake Live at Ego Düsseldorf June 5 1999

"Flowing ambient journey to welcome the autumn coming. 
It is time to go back inside. 
Reflect and relax. 
Plant the seeds you need. 
Release everything that no longer serves you."

Mother of the French collectives Ouroboros (@ouroboros-crew)  and EWO  (@ewo_collectif), Toe (@toe_music) explores music without boundaries, blending hypnotic grooves and treating sound as an energy to be experienced. Her focus lies in an endless pursuit of psychedelic and tribal atmospheres, crafting sonic journeys that ignite the imagination.

"Music communicates the spirit.
Recognising art as an experiment liberates it from the demands of perfection.
What some may describe as failure is just as valuable as success, as it expands one’s awareness.
The true essence of experimentation resides in the freedom to transcend one’s limitations."

- Nathalia

A DJ set recorded on October 13 at the Nou:shh (@noushh-26120238) event at OSD Berlin, a space designed for the cultivation of deep listening. Nou:shh offered meditative and nourishing sessions with tranquil DJ sets. Curated by Sarah Wreath and Sheila Abell.

Naturally active person, in 2014, Nathalia (@nathaliapetkova) founded Experiment Intrinsic (@experimentintrinsic) – a hidden art dimension organically blended with the visual and musical imagination. A pivotal change, in which she pursued a path of deeper self inquiry and progression of sound, shifted her from the electronic dance-floor oriented music and into ambient soundscapes. Her influences drew increasingly from experimental electronic, as well as traditional and spiritual genres. The following years were dedicated as developing the project into a dynamic and constantly evolving audio-visual platform.

Ciao tutti,
The latest episode of my NTS show from last night is up for replay!
A la carte this month : 
♏︎ 🌝 Scorpio season, a time of transformation, introspection, and powerful growth. 
💌🎋🧙‍♂️🌀 I’m honored to host the legendary Vladimir Ivkovic @vladimir, who guides us on a profound journey. His sets dive deep into a realm of feels and texture ~  a moment of stillness where time vanishes, pure bliss ✨ 
A full circle moment for me, when I first met Vladimir, we spoke about "The Mushroom at the End of the World" by Anna Tsing, a book that explores the life cycle of the matsutake mushroom as a lens to examine resilience, collaboration, and survival in precarious times, which aligns with today's energies and Scorpio season. 
Hope you enjoy the mesmerizing voyage Vladimir has crafted for us.

Live sketches for a Son Of Chi live set in Athens, November 16, 17th 2024.
https://www.instagram.com/p/DBTh9jxNTNy  

A mix of edited Son Of Chi tracks and new works in progress, including upcoming collabs with Kain The Poet, Jim Tetlow, Radboud Mens, Daniel Danieli, Clara Brea & Menhir, Omar Ka, Kaiyumi and more.

Son Of Chi: I always make live sketches. This time for my performance in Athens (scroll down for more info). Not sure if I will stick to them, but they give the right impression of the atmosphere i would like to create. The opening words by Kain The Poet reflect the times we live in and the challenges we are facing. I will end with a piece from “The Fifth World Recordings”.  

According to the Hopi prophecies we are now living in the transition years, moving from the fourth world into the fifth world. As they say: “times of earthquakes, floodings, fires, pandemics and wars”. The Hopi believe that in this period you need to be careful where you stay, who you stay with and what you do. Keep practising the holy rituals. Respect nature, the earth, the universe and be good to your fellowmen and all living creatures.

As the Hopi say the fifth world  “represents a spiritual awakening, an evolution in understanding the interconnectedness of all beings and the universe”. We are in the middle of this transition. All we can do is stick to our rituals.

Or as Hazrat Inayat Khan says: “The further we advance, the more difficult and the more important becomes our part in the symphony of life. The more conscious we are of this responsibility, the more efficient we become in accomplishing our task”.

Edited vocal samples (only for these live sketches, not to be released):

Deep Breakfast 290 ~ Joachim Spieth

~ Deep Breakfast 293 by https://soundcloud.com/nightseaproject ~

"We’re excited to present to the Deep Breakfast community a live hybrid set performed in our Northern California studio in December 2024. Starting from a setlist of beloved ambient works, we improvised on our modular synthesizers to create extended transitions between tracks. While a track played, we’d sample it to create loops and textures, slowly building new compositions with these layers and other synthesized elements. We look forward to continuing the investigation of this hybrid style, exploring the spectrum between production, DJing, and improvisation."

1. Ulla - Aware Of Something [Motion Ward]

In this collaboration, Radboud Mens and I explore the tension between stasis and movement. Operating within the realm of drone and electroacoustic music, we construct a sonic landscape where sustained tones and microscopic events constantly shape and reshape each other. What initially appears static reveals itself to be rich with detail: tiny acoustic shifts breathe life into apparent stillness, inviting focused and attentive listening.

The album emerged from a process where sound research, improvisation, and sound design merge. Self-built instruments, the search for timbre and texture, and recordings of the learning process itself form the foundation of these compositions. Rather than following a traditional musical structure, the result is a sonic field in which the minimal continually transforms depending on the listener’s perspective. This is a layered and handcrafted album that doesn’t narrate, but questions. Marking A Boundary With The Turning Point is not a boundary. It’s an invitation to listen differently.
