Today\u2019s guest deejay is Ilya Fursov, AKA Textere Oris<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Ilya is yet another guest deejay that comes to us by way of the Cryo Chamber<\/a> music label. I\u2019m sometimes reluctant to feature musicians from Cryo Chamber because I showcase artists from their roster a lot<\/em>. But that\u2019s because the label\u2019s releases are so good that why would I not<\/em> invite them on Soundwave?<\/p>\n\n

I was introduced to Ilya after listening to Reflections at the Sea<\/a><\/em>, an album he released with Vladislav Sikach, AKA SiJ<\/a>. Like most albums on Cryo Chamber, I was immersed in the world they unfolded through their music. I often listen to music while working or doing chores, but I often found myself pausing what I was doing as I got lost in Reflections<\/em>. Ilya\u2019s mix for today\u2019s show is equally mysterious and magical.<\/p>\n\n

Here in the States, we celebrated Thanksgiving. As I write this, I\u2019m in Boston. This is the first time my father, uncle, brother, and sister have been under the same roof in decades. It wasn\u2019t without family drama, but I suspect that\u2019s part of the Thanksgiving tradition. I also got to spend time with some of my oldest and dearest friends.<\/p>\n\n

I admit to being reluctant to travel to Boston. Mingling with people at the airport and flying with more people in a metal tube with people for five hours was unsettling. I certainly don\u2019t want to catch the virus, and I wouldn\u2019t want to pass the virus on to my family. My father and uncle are in their seventies, and I\u2019m all too aware that my time with them shortens each year.<\/p>\n\n

Like most people, I was able to put the pandemic out of my mind for a while and enjoy myself. But the Coronavirus is not done with us, and now we have to Omicron variant<\/a> to contend with. Soundwave is my way of coping with the pandemic, and each time I think the show has served its purpose, there is yet another reason to continue sharing mixes with you. And here we are.<\/p>\n\n

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Dead Melodies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

See you then!<\/p>\n\n
