The Hague-based musician Alina Valentina has always been a vivid dreamer. For Scrying the
Landscape XXIV, she dives into these lucid sleep states, where images scatter and reform – a
flicker, a hum, a mirrored hallway with no end. Unfamiliar yet intimate; a terrain of strange
voices, pulsating noise, and long shadows.

q. pls introduce yourself…
Hello, we are forest.exe (Sven and Silvan). We run a label that focuses on ambient, avant-garde and experimental music. It is called Jurassic Ambient Records. The name is inspired by the Jura forests in Switzerland, where we live and grew up. We create our own mixes and also release guest mixes as well as music from friends and anyone interested. We started about four years ago. Over time, we gradually moved away from technoid sounds and club culture, and began experimenting and mixing together within the genres of ambient, experimental and drone, where we felt more at home. For us, it is essential to connect music with the wellbeing in nature, which is also the origin of everything.

q. is there a story behind the mix?
This time we created the mix with Ableton in Sven’s home studio, nestled near the Jurassic forest — not, as we usually do, in a rehearsal room with a Pioneer setup. It was a warm and luminous day at the very beginning of summer. Surrounded by nature, we let the atmosphere guide us, working spontaneously and intuitively. Instead of CDJs, we wanted to explore a new approach, giving ourselves more time and space to shape the flow. This allowed us to engage more deeply with each track and to sculpt the transitions with greater precision.
The result is a mix that feels reduced and calming, almost dreamlike, yet still carries a quiet strength. It mirrors the uncertainties and concerns we feel about the world, and the question of how we might navigate through them. We dedicated an entire day to the process, with pauses, a few beers, and long conversations about the value of music and the character we wanted this mix to embody.

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
Step into the forest, put on your headphones, leave the world behind and sink into natural, calming sounds. You might wander along the paths and lose yourself in the embrace of nature, or sit quietly on a tree stump, listening to the mix while observing the subtle life unfolding around you. This is, in essence, what our name forest.exe is meant to evoke.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...
Silvan: My favourite object in my living room is a handmade ceramic piece with an organic, natural design. I discovered it in Krakow last year during my visit to the Unsound Festival.
Sven: Hehe… epic indeed. My favorite object in my living room is a triptych of three Japanese woodblock prints. In the first, several farmers brandishing katanas burst forth with fierce cries. In the second, a lone farmer leaps dramatically over a waterfall, sword in hand. And in the third, a bear flees from the oncoming attackers. The imagery is raw and powerful, yet strangely inspiring. I don’t know the artist or when the pieces were created — but stumbling upon them in an antique shop felt like a stroke of fortune, as if they had been waiting there for me.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
We are both working on new music, though it often takes a lot of time — which can be challenging, since we both work more or less full-time as social workers, and Sven also has children. Still, we meet regularly to create ambient mixes, discuss musical developments, and continue shaping our vision for the label. Through it, we keep releasing new mixes as well as music (EPs) from ourselves and from other artists.
What we love is that this project has been with us for quite some time, and we can move at our own pace — deciding how much energy to put in, or when to slow things down. That way, it never becomes stressful, because we are not chasing success, but rather sharing our musical principles and offering others a fresh listening experience. We are also searching for a spot in the forest where we can record outdoor mixes, letting nature inspire our music even more directly.

Recording of Ulla & Perila's set at the UFO II stage during Dekmantel Festival 2025.

Ulla & Perila at UFO II - Dekmantel Festival 2025

In this episode we are going to explore everything that is related to jazz, in all the bizarre spectrum and shapes it takes. And Awkward Position is a monthly radio transmission, hosted in the middle of the week by Yssue, dedicated to unusual, offbeat, and misbehaving musical forms. You're invited to lose your footing and embrace the contradictions. Expect: leftfield detours, kraut ghosts, post-club somethings, lopsided breaks, sentimental industrial, crumbling poetry, orchestral avant-garde — and whatever else sneaks in. Cool guests may drift through. We’ll awkwardly share the booth — maybe some half-formed thoughts and sparks of inspiration too. Step inside. Get comfortable. Let’s ride forever.

IN OUR COMPOSITION SERIE WE ARE GOING TO
PRESENT U THE APPROACH OF CONNECTING

AND VISUAL ARTISTS.
WE ARE TRYING TO USE OUR PLATFORM
TO OVERLAP COMMUNITIES AND PROVOKE A
COMPOSITION, U MIGHT CAN RELATE
TO.

FOR THE SEVENTH COMPOSITION WE WARMLY INVITE.

KARA KAISER.
"My paintings and drawings isolate moments of peak suspense within cine-
matic and animated narratives—the charged seconds immediately before,
or after, impact, explosion, or climax. Tension has been built but resolution
remains uncertain.
By appropriating imagery from film and cartoons, I play with collective media
literacy while disrupting linear storytelling. The familiar becomes estranged
when divorced from narrative continuity, creating spaces where viewers are
encouraged to project their own interpretations onto fractured sequences.
This practice questions the authority of prescripted meaning, asserting the
primacy of individual reading over intended conclusion.
Through traditional mark-making, I translate digital movement into analog
stillness, establishing a dialectical relationship between medium and mes-
sage. Each work functions as both homage and intervention—acknowled-
ging the cultural power of mass media while claiming interpretive agency
and the fertile uncertainty of the unresolved"

QWQWQWQWA / KVISHA.
"I’ve put together a two-hour mix made up of music that has shaped me as an artist and once gave me a powerful creative push. It starts with broken beats and early IDM — that’s the era where my journey into electronic music began, with sounds from labels like Skam, Warp. Alongside that, there’s hip-hop blended with illbient in the style of DJ Spooky or DJ Krush. All of this shaped my love for slightly dark and strange sonics, but always with rich sound design and a beautiful urban atmosphere.

When I was 16-17 I started going out to clubs, and I was always drawn to tracks with subtle groove, micro-details, metallic or dreamy and lush sounds — all stripped down to the bare essentials. Back then, I didn’t even know it was called minimal and dub techno.

In short, the first half of the mix represents what eventually became qwqwqwqwa, and the second half — kvisha."

ENJOY.
