[14] Mix for Beyond / Below
Deep listening mix series Beyond / Below was kind enough to request a mix from Arturo, we hope you enjoy!
Hand over the controls to the Beyond/Below TARDIS as we set the time-space coordinates to travel through electronic and found sound pioneers along with modern ambient experiments. We're visiting Move D's mid-90s electronic Jazz ensemble, early 1980's Japanese ambient sounds, 1970's experimental German collabs between Cluster & Brian Eno, to David Sylvian ("Japan" frontman) and Holger Czukay (Can). Sam Kidel's modern classic reinterpretation of call center purgatory, and Danish ambient with spoken words by Chloe Wise on the return trip. All aboard!
