Today’s guest deejay is Nick Turner, AKA Tyresta.
We have Kévin Séry to thank for introducing me to Nick. After Kévin’s mix for Soundwave I asked who he thought would share a mix on show he said I should contact Nick. I did what I aways do, which is dip into Bandcamp and Spotify to listen to get a feel for the artist’s music. After an afternoon spend listening to his releases as Tyresta, I understood why Kévin thought Nick should I have guest deejay on the show.
Good call, Kévin.
Nick’s mix has been my soundtrack for the events unfolding in Ukraine. Some of the songs Nick selected in his mix seem prescient and apocalyptic. But Nick’s mix takes unexpected turns and is, thankfully, at times joyful and triumphant. At least that’s what I got out of it.
Nick is a social worker and experimental musician based in Chicago, Illinois. He releases music as Tyresta, Tyresta and Ruan, Montgomery and Turner (with Jayve Montgomery/Abstract Black), and Color of Time (with Kévin Séry/From Overseas). He also runs the digital-only, experimental music imprint Fallen Moon Recordings, which is a sub-label of Past Inside the Present.
Nick has some words about his mix below.
Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Joakim Alfvén.
See you then.
The music on this mix has inspired me greatly in recent years and features artists that hold identities that are typically under-valued in ambient, drone, and experimental music.
