Today\u2019s guest deejay is Oleg Puzan of Line Spectrum<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Oleg, AKA Dronny Darko<\/a>, was our guest deejay over a year ago. Dronny mix was drenched in atmospherics and utterly enchanting. It was like looking through the glass darkly. It was a no-brainer to ask Oleg to return to Soundwave with yet another mix, this time as Line Spectrum.<\/p>\n\n

Line Spectrum is a sound art project that expands sonic boundaries through sound manipulations often in a form of severe minimalism using a vast palette of microscopic sounds. Line Spectrum blends deep ambiences, musique concr\u00e8te, avant-garde elements and silence. It is recommended that you listen to Line Spectrum with high quality headphones.<\/p>\n\n

Yeah, about that\u2026<\/p>\n\n

Last week I took my dog for her evening walk. I find that\u2019s the best time to listen to music and so I played Oleg\u2019s mix. Ordinarily, Oleg\u2019s Line Spectrum mix would have been a relaxing experience, but I used the transparent mode on my Apple AirPods Pro, which lets outside sound in. I use it when I walk my dog because I like to be aware of my surroundings. In this case in induced a state of anxiety because I couldn\u2019t tell what I was hearing was from the Line Spectrum mic or from the outside world. Were the crickets I heard part of Oleg\u2019s mix or my environment? Was that a jet flying overhead or what I was hearing over my AirPods? Were the chatter of people talking coming from a nearby house or from the mix I was listing to?<\/p>\n\n

It was an unsettling experience. I couldn\u2019t trust what I was hearing. It was what I imagine having auditory hallucinations would feel like.<\/p>\n\n

Don\u2019t let my experience detract from your enjoyment of Oleg\u2019s mix. It\u2019s truly wonderful. But please be wary if you should listen to the mix with Transparency mode on.<\/p>\n\n
