I have found voluminous experimental and ambient music mixes on Mixcloud from this prolific label. These are worth checking out for adventurous but listenable music, artist, and label discovery.

Unexplained Sounds Group is a platform run by Raffaele Pezzella (Sonologyst) to investigate the current underground experimental music scene.

Check them out on Bandcamp and Mixcloud.

This is an enthralling spooky 2-hour odyssey. Perfect for your Halloween run-up.

Between Two Points is a monthly transMIXion by Los Angeles based sound artist Richard Chartier for Dublab. A beginning, an end and the layered transitional sonic flow enclosed, ‘between two points’ explores textures, tones, place, and space, featuring experimental, avant-garde, ambient works from the mid-20th century through to our current time. A mysterious progression unfolding for your ears.

Richard Chartier is considered one of the key figures in sound art described as “microsound” and Neo-Modernist. Chartier’s minimalist digital work explores the inter-relationships between the spatial nature of sound, silence, focus, perception and the act of listening itself. Chartier’s sound works/installations have been presented in galleries and museums internationally and he has performed his work around the world. In 2000 he formed the recording label LINE exploring the aesthetics of contemporary and digital minimalism.

Chartier (often as Pinkcourtesyphone) began DJing in 1991. Sets can be an eclectic mix, ranging from mid-20th century analog-ica, to post punk synth oddities, to ambient soundscapes, to lounge-y reverberations, to contemporary electronica. Ponderous beats, melodies, & noise nonchalantly mixed into a flowing soundtrack for you, your cocktail, & your inner ear.

This wonderful mix rides an in between line of frightening industrial and melancholic intrigue. And, there’s even a smattering of dub techno sprinkled into the recipe. Bonus.

Perfect for gray Monday mornings when one is feeling like a replicant.

From the Secret Thirteen intro paragraph:

“Rosa Damask is the alias of Nastia Reigel, a Russian artist whose productions and DJ sets gained much acclaim in the last few years, both for her refined minimalist approach and impressive technical skills.”

Nothing much to say other than “listen to this”.

Carla dal Forno is an Australian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, currently based in Berlin. She is a member of the groups F Ingers and Tarcar, and formerly cult Melbourne outfit Mole House.  Her output on one of my favorite labels, Blackest Ever Black is scintillating.

Super cool selection across an eclectic constellation of genres by Astrud Steehouder (Paper Dollhouse) and illustrious The Wire magazine.

I learned something.

With so much readily and freely available music at our collective disposal, the role of curator/mixer/DJ is paramount to discovery and a lean back listening experience. Secret Thirteen is beyond prolific at introducing new (to me) curators, producers, composers, and sonic artists.

Check out this mix from Bérangère Maximin, who “puts us on a cinematic trip of minimal, acousmatic, and concrete pieces merged with sound poetry and ambience.”

A melange of tracks taken from The Wire Magazine’s prolific Wire Tapper series on the latest installment of ResonanceFM’s Adventures In Music And Sound radio programme.  Tulipomania at about 1 hour and 12 minutes.  Very cool radio program.  Very cool classic track from Tulipomania.

Viva la musical revolution.  Much needed.  Dig deeper.

With restless demeanor but utmost respect,
