SOUNDWAVE : 137 : BULUT NESIM

SOUNDWAVE : 137 : BULUT NESIM

Today’s guest deejay is DJ Bulut.

I met Bulut well over a decade ago while producing Solipsistic Nation, my electronic music podcast. I was a fan of his New Turkish Beat podcast, and we started an acquaintanceship on Twitter.

I’ve been reflecting on that time for the last few days. It was during Solipsistic Nation that I enjoyed Twitter the most. The network was becoming large enough that I could strike up great conversations and meet interesting people but still small enough that things didn’t get lost in the noise. I still love Twitter, but I admit that the number of genuine interactions I’ve had in the last few years has dwindled.

As I write this, Twitter seems like it might crash and burn. Something will emerge out of the wreckage, but it might not be anything we recognize as Twitter. But maybe that’s okay. Perhaps Twitter has served its purpose. I’m glad I met people like Bulut while it was still vibrant.

Bulut has some words about his mix below.

Join us next weekend when out guest deejay will be Glyn Bush.

See you then.

My idea while recording this podcast was that the listener would pay some attention to the music at the beginning of the podcast. Then they would gradually let the sound disappear into the background after the second half. I call this mix “Relax” because I selected some tracks that I believe are relaxing from the beginning. The podcast gets dreamier toward the second half. The second half is super easy to ignore. I recommend starting with a volume that you consider medium or even louder. The podcast intentionally gets very quiet toward the end, so you may barely hear it. I thought this podcast could provide an hour-long atmosphere where you can ignore the sound towards the end by focusing on reading, studying, or falling asleep.

“Funky Zena” by Mickey Hart

Mickey Heart is the legendary drummer of Grateful Dead. There is definitely magic on this entire album. This is a surprisingly relaxing percussion album that is also good for dancing. I play the hand drums myself and I enjoy the meditational aspect of repetitive beats. There is magic in this track for sure. 

“Big Man Cry” by Banco de Gaia

An English electronic musician named TobyMarks. This is one of my favorite tracks by Banco de Gaia.This sound sends your soul to a faraway place.

“Selig Sind, Die Da HierWeinen” by Popol Vuh

Popol Vuh was aGerman musical collective founded by Florian Fricke and FrankFiedler. Some say that Popol Vuh is a Krautrock band. I enjoy their relaxing psychedelic tracks and the good news is that they have a lot of good ones. This is what I call "comfortably numb ":) 

“Letting Go of This Radiant Hive” by Vir Unis

Vir Unis is an American New Age Musician. The New Age music radiates positive energy. This track is exactly what we needed in this spot.

“Ancient Anatolia” by DJ.Bulut

The only instrument on this track is my electric guitar. I processed the sound to give this a slow and ambient vibe. There is repetition in this which should help us lose track of time very quickly. I believe that my track sounds relaxing at low volumes. It is a long track. In fact, it turned the volume down on the podcast recording so that the listeners can enjoy it quietly. Too quiet for you at this point? Feel free to turn it up 🙂

SOUNDWAVE : 136 : SAM ROSENTHAL

SOUNDWAVE : 137 : SAM ROSENTHAL

Today’s guest deejay is Sam Rosenthal.

I invited Sam to guest deejay on Soundwave because he is the founder of Projekt Records. I didn’t ask Sam because Projekt explores genres of music I love, such as ambient, darkwave, and goth, although that’s part of it. No, it’s because Sam has been running Projekt and releasing breathtaking music for nearly 40 years!

For a lot of us, Projekt has become an institution. It feels like it’s always been a part of our lives. Incredibly, I’ve been listening to music released by Projekt for nearly half my life. Sam’s Black Tape for a Blue Girl has always been a favorite. Steve Roach, of course, who makes an appearance on today’s mix. And I’ve been listening to Anji Bee and Ryan Lum’s Lovespirals for years. And so many compilation albums.

I fully expect Sam will be releasing more music from Projekt well into the middle of the 21st century. And Sam will be the house deejay at my funeral. Wow, that got dark. Sam, I hope you took that in the spirit that was intended.

Sam has some words about his mix below.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be DJ Bulut.

See you then.

 

Sam Rosenthal, founder of Projekt Records

I put together a mix of tracks selected from the 600+ electronic/ambient/drone albums released on Projekt over the last 39 years (founded in 1983!) Three are my collaborations with label artists; for the other four, rather than selecting “hits” I programmed deep tracks that I quite enjoy. With over 50 releases on Projekt in 2022 there is an abundance of wonderful music to chose from. My intention for Soundwave was to create an hour flow of the mood of Projekt — an exploration and overview for listeners discovering the label for the first time.

SOUNDWAVE : 135 : AMBIENTBLOG

SOUNDWAVE : 135 : AMBIENTBLOG

Today’s guest deejay is Peter van Cooten, host of Ambientblog and DreamScenes on Concertzender.

I met Peter through Harrold Roeland and I invited Peter to guest deejay on the show (listen to his mix here). I did not anticipate that a mix from Peter would be something of an event. Peter’s mixes are more like epic tone poems that contain both the cosmic and the mundane in one listening experience.

 

Cloudwatching Sequence
Cloudwatching Sequence

Furthermore, Peter meticulously crafts his mixes. Peter might use a passage once from a song or as a leitmotif. His mixes are dense and multilayered. Peter’s skill is that despite the complexity of his mixes, they are seamless and fluid. You don’t need to know the immense effort that produced the mix you are listening to appreciate its beauty and artistry.

Because Peter mixes feel like an event, it felt appropriate to release today’s show for Halloween as we celebrate the darker half of the year.

Peter has some words about his mix below.

Join us next week when out guest deejay will be Mike Lazarev.

See you then.

 

Cloudwatching
Cloudwatching

Most (if not all) previous Ambientblog mixes always had some dark moments; they are never “just” relaxing. You can only feel release if you also feel tension.

This time, I wanted to avoid the darkness and create a “lighter mood mix.” Not of the “Ibiza Chillout Lounge” kind, but one that can be played in the background and is still exciting enough to listen to. I hope I succeeded, but of course, you’re the one to decide about that!

 

With two hours, Cloudwatching is longer than usual. Only a few tracks are included in their full length, but most are heavily edited or even just short fragments. Also, they are often overlayed, so you’ll hear the music in a different context. The extensive playlist below may help you track down the original in their full-length versions.

I hope you’ll enjoy watching these -imaginary- clouds!

SOUNDWAVE : 134 : protoU

SOUNDWAVE : 134 : protoU

Today’s guest deejay is Sasha Puzan, AKA protoU.

Sasha is the closest thing Soundwave has to an in-house deejay. I was introduced to her through Dronny Darko (listen to his mix for Soundwave here). Sasha’s first mix was elemental and cosmic. Her second mix was cozy and intimate. Sasha, as Robocat, shared anthemic bangers to celebrate Pride on her third mix for Soundwave.

Sasha returns with a mix that is, for the most part, a compilation of select tracks from Tehnofonika Records. It’s been my soundtrack as San Diego transitions from summer to fall. It’s dark, rhythmic, atmospheric, and sexy.

Sasha’s new album, Untitledcloud, will be released next month on her birthday, November 10th, through ECOUL SND. If you enjoy Sasha’s music and mixes, consider purchasing her album as a gift to her and yourself. More importantly, she asks that you support Ukraine.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Peter van Cooten.

SOUNDWAVE : 133 : KMRU

SOUNDWAVE : 133 : KMRU

Today’s guest deejay is Joseph Kamaru, AKA KMRU.

Having Joseph on the show is a bit of synchronicity. I became aware of Joseph’s music a few years ago while searching for music on Bandcamp. What immediately struck me was the sense of intimacy I experienced while listening to his music. Yes, I’m aware that the genres Joseph expresses himself through lend themselves to that kind of feeling. And I’m also aware that this is a complete projection, but I got the sense that a movement of thoughts and emotions conveyed in his music.

 

Joseph Kamaru, AKA KMRU
Joseph Kamaru, AKA KMRU

Shortly after conning across Joseph, guest deejays on Soundwave began including tracks from his album in their mixes. So, of course, I reached out to him to share select tracks on the show.

Joseph’s mix, like his releases, has that sense of interplay between thoughts and emotions. And, perhaps, sympathetically, Joseph’s mix stirred up thoughts and feelings in me, which is the whole point.

Join sun next week when our guest deejay will be protoU.

SOUNDWAVE : 132 : PIERRE LAPLACE

SOUNDWAVE : 132 : PIERRE LAPLACE

Today’s guest deejay is Pierre Laplace.

I invited Pierre to share a mix on Soundwave after hearing his 2019 album, You Disappeared. Since then, Pierre has released a new album, Sundown. Where You Disappeared felt like the soundtrack to a China Miéville novel, Sundown felt like a Koyaanisqatsisque soundtrack for a doomed planet. The album notes for Sundown tell a tale of desperate conflict in Rome in the year 2062. That works, too. The album drips with foreboding.

 

Pierre Laplace
Pierre Laplace

The first mix Pierre shared was an unexpected delight. Then I could hear the influences of someone like, say, Ennio Morricone, in his music, Pierre’s mix didn’t convey the feeling of his own music. Pierre’s mix for today’s show is further from his albums. His mix is more unexpected and just as delightful.

Aside from three artists, I’m unfamiliar with the musicians who appear in Pierre’s mix. I’ve gone down the listening rabbit hole on Spotify because all the music in his mix is brilliant. I’m sure you’ll be doing the same.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be KMRU.

SOUNDWAVE : 131 : AMBIENT DUB

SOUNDWAVE : 131 : AMBIENT DUB

Today’s show features a retrospective mix of the Ambient Dub compilation albums from the ’90s.

A couple of months ago, I realized I had an open slot in the Soundwave schedule. I could have quickly filled that slot, but since I rarely get to deejay on my own show, I save those available slots for myself. As it happens, I had just finished a mix featuring music from the Ambient Dub compilation albums.

If you’re unfamiliar with Ambient Dub, they were a series of compilation albums released through the Beyond label. Electronic music was mutating at a furious pace, and it was only a matter of time before ambient and dub would intertwine and become its own genre.

As I recall, I first came across the Ambient Dub Volume 3: Aqua album while digging through the racks at Newbury Comics in Harvard Square. The album cover caught my imagination. It was a minimalist take on the techno/rave flyer album covers at the time.

I was already a devotee of dub since the ‘80s when I discovered ROIR’s 21st Century Dub, a release of Pecker Power’s cosmic dubs. Beyond captured that alchemical synthesis of ambient and dub, turning me on to musicians like Banco De Gaia, Higher Intelligence Agency and Space Time Continuum.

For the next few years, I worked my way backward through the series, finding Ambient Dub Volume 2: Earthjuice and Ambient Dub Volume 1: The Big Chill and finally catching up with Ambient Dub Volume 4: Jellyfish.

I’ve had these albums on rotation for decades. I’ve included songs from these cherished albums when I was a deejay at WMFO, often winding down 5 am set with Insanity Sect’s “Choctaw Ridge.” This mix came together from muscle memory. It was effortless. It was so much fun that whenever a slot opens up in the next few months, I’ll showcase retrospective mixes featuring music from the Excursions in Ambience and From Here to Tranquility compilation series.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be returning guest deejay Pierre Laplace.

See you then.

SOUNDWAVE : 130 : DAN HANDRABUR

SOUNDWAVE : 130 : DAN HANDRABUR

Today’s guest deejay is Dan Handrabur.

Dan records and performs under many names: Dreamdoktor, Dreamlogic, and HAN. I know him as Vuemorph, from the excellent From Here To Tranquility Volume 3 compilation album.

During the summer, I looked over the remainder of the schedule for Soundwave for 2022. There were a few slots open, and I decided to do retrospective mixes featuring music from the Ambient Dub, Excursions In Ambience, and From Here To Tranquility compilation albums. Re-listening those albums inspired me to invite the musicians who appeared on those albums to guest deejay on Soundwave. Dan was the first to send me a mix, which I’m thrilled to share on today’s show. You can expect to hear those mixes in the next few months.

Despite knowing Dan from Vuemorph, I had no preconceptions about what Dan’s mix would sound like. Even so, I was surprised.

 

Dan Handrabur
Dan Handrabur

Dan calls this his HAN mix and describes it as a post muzika pandemik poem. I don’t know what to make of that. What does it mean to live in a post-pandemic world? Something has shifted. It’s not the same world it was pre-pandemic, and we are not the same people we were two years ago. I’m certainly listening to music through fresh ears, but it took Dan’s mix to cause me to meditate on these matters.

I launched Soundwave to help cope with the stress and isolation of the pandemic lockdown. I told myself that once the pandemic was reasonably under control that the show would have served its purpose and that I’d shutter the project. But it feels like there’s still a reason for Soundwave to exist, and maybe exploring what music is in a post-pandemic world is it.

Something to think about.

Please subscribe to Dan’s Outersanctum Music YouTube channel for more fantastical music.

Join us next week for the Ambient Dub retrospective mix.

See you then.

SOUNDWAVE : 129 : SERGE TIMMERS

SOUNDWAVE : 129 : SERGE TIMMERS

Today’s guest deejay is Serge Timmers.

Like so many of the guest deejays on Soundwave, Serge was highly recommended by a previous guest deejay. In this case, it was Gert De Meester (listen to his mixes here and here). As always, I listened to Serge’s music, loved what I heard and invited him to guest deejay on Soundwave.

I usually listen to Serge’s mix during the day while I’m working. Why not listen to gorgeous music while I’m being productive? But Serge’s mix comes alive in the night. If you’re lucky, a foggy night. Serge’s mix casts everything in mysterious shadows. Serge’s mix includes songs that sound as if they came from an Excursions in Ambience album; why there’s even a track that features Higher Intelligence Agency! Other tracks lean into trip-hop, not to mention the unexpected byways Serge takes us on in his mix.

Serge has some words about his mix below.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Dan Handrabur.

See you then.

Nachtraaf is a Flemish expression for someone who is most active at night. Most of the tracks on this album were made at night, as I almost always do. The track “Zenenacht” in this mix comes from this album. It’s old-Dutch for “Eternal Night.”

Planet Psyche comes from lighter times and features the track “Cosmonaut.”

In the mix, I’ve compiled some tracks from friends (Ashtoreth, Stratosphere, and Distant Fires Burning) along with the most important influences in my journey in slow and emotional music.

  1. Distant Fires Burning “Book Of Fragmentation”
  2. Stratosphere “God Was Nowhere To Be Found”
  3. O Yuki Conjugate “Sunchemical”

SOUNDWAVE : 128 : STEFAN BECK

SOUNDWAVE : 128 : STEFAN BECK

Today’s guest deejay is Stefan Beck, AKA Golden Brown.

I met Stefan through Steve Targo from Inner Islands after he guest deejayed on Soundwave. I asked Steve, whom he knew would share a mix on the show, and he recommended Stefan. I listened to Stefan’s music and lost myself in his gentle guitar playing, swathes of warm sounds, and field recordings. So we have Steve to thank for today’s gorgeous mix.

As is my habit, I reacquaint myself with the mixes sent my way two weeks before I share them with you. Stefan provided the soundtrack for hurricane Kay which hit Mexico this week. In the evenings, when it was cooler, I’d go for an hour-long walk and listen to Stefan’s mix. Wednesday was a very sensual night. There was a moment as I was walking past a canyon when a rivulet of sweat ran from my temple and behind my right ear. It cooled and evaporated immediately. There was a hint of sage in the air. And Stefan’s mix played over my AirPods. Delicious.

Friday, San Diego was awash with the rain from hurricane Kay. It was very dramatic. The sky was gloomy, the wind gusted from my patio door, and occasionally raindrops would land on my shoulders from my skylight window above me, all while Stefan’s mix playing in the background.

I hope Stefan’s mix provides an equally wonderful experience.

Stefan has a few words about his mix below.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Serge Timmers.

See you then.

The songs selected here don’t have any unifying theme apart from that they inspire me and put me in a certain 🌀zone🌀
