Mysteries of the Deep is a New York-based record label, podcast, and event series — focused on ambient & experimental music in various forms. Mysteries — as fans lovingly call it — is concerned with exploration of unknown realms, and its focus, in addition to showcasing a dynamic spectrum of electronic music from foremost artists in the field, is to thoughtfully engage its audience. Conceptualized in 2011, Mysteries began as a podcast series that, now in its ninth year, has hosted an array of mixes and original works. The project has since evolved, expanding into a curated event series and, more recently, a burgeoning record label.

Portland, OR-based multimedia artist William Selman returns to Mysteries of the Deep with his third album for the label. Drawing on influences such as David Toop, Beatriz Ferreyra, Elizabeth Waldo, and David Behrman, “The Weather Indoors” melds live and synthesized instrumentation, field recordings, and digital processing techniques in a new, more melodic and approachable direction.Immersive site recordings open into melodic woodwinds, orchestral instrumentation, bass guitar, gongs, and vibraphone. Borrowing from the anthropologist Tim Ingold’s concept of “inversion,” this widescreen staging cuts immediately to the core of the project: the way human beings use the faculty of imagination to aestheticize their built surroundings with architecture, images of distant locales, and domesticated flora and fauna to contain the anxiety for the natural world that surrounds human life.A clear peak in Selman's extensive catalog, “The Weather Indoors” captures his work at a moment expanding his musical and aesthetic project: Neither genre ambient nor musique concrète, but a unique sound world dense with conceptual play and moments of more traditional harmonic beauty.“We are contaminated by our encounters: they change who we are as we make way for others. As contamination changes world-making projects, mutual worlds—and new directions—may emerge. Everyone carries a history of contamination; purity is not an option.” —Anne Lowenhaupt-Tsing, The Mushroom at the End of the World Releases May 19, 2023Written, produced, and recorded by William SelmanMastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio NYDolby Atmos Mixes by Matthew Patterson CurryPhotography, Video Direction, and Words by William SelmanDesign by Gabriel BenzurEditing by Chris ZalduaWorldwide Distribution: Space Cadets© Mysteries of the DeepMOTDLP016, 2023mysteriesofthedeep.net

What is the sound of feeling?In physics, we conceive of sound as waves. Vibrations, undulations, physical manifestations: heard but not seen. Borne by the body, but interpreted in the brain.Within ourselves, we perceive emotion as waves, too. Rolling in, rolling out: tidal, even. In moments of violet intensity, the depth of our feeling crashes upon us like surf, rip currents on a corporeal beach.Worlds apart, but waves in kind. For musician and composer Jo Johnson, the veil between is diaphanous indeed. What you hear is what you feel. Listen and uncover.Written and Produced by Jo Johnson (@werkhouse)Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studios, NYArtwork by Candace PriceDesign by Gabriel BenzurWords by Chris ZalduaWorldwide Distribution: Space Cadets Limited© Jo Johnson / Mysteries of the DeepMOTDEP008, 2022mysteriesofthedeep.net
A scene: warm and hazy, dappled in emerald green, redolent of precipitation, of fertility. Pause momentarily and consider the abundance. Inside, a horizon beckons. Seek and you’ll find it; approach and you'll be certain it’s there. Step off the plateau and discover unseen foundations. Outside, relish in immanence. Be immersed in it: trust that no line divides, and no border exists. There is no goal; there is no destination. Find awe in seeing. Find solace in listening. Renew the journey. Embrace the unknown. Move beyond the final frontier, and allow for discovery of the self. Saphileaum charts the path.

We're pleased to announce a very special release by Pavaka Group, a new project from William Selman (@wselman)
'Following modern utopian and human potential movements from the 60s through the 80s, one theme that runs through these groups is the inclusion of music and sound-making in their organized practices. As these groups sought to give their members the tools or environment from which to liberate themselves from the constraints and norms of postwar life, music was a common vehicle for that personal and spiritual liberation. Music—like collective, collaborative farm work or group guided meditation practice—was another channel for personal and group expression of a new ideal of living and being.'

Behold the pearl, a phenomenon singular in nature. An evolutionary eccentricity, a manifestation of inadvertent beauty. Effulgent objects fashioned by perfect mistake. Each a gemstone forged by the living: a consummate union of the biological and the geological.
This in mind, consider 'Yeoville,' the latest from artist Brendon Moeller. Listen to its radiant accords, or chords of radiance. Swirl, and unfurl, its amber waves of dub. Locate in echoes its memory — or yours. And then, so attuned, hear it: the breath of the machine. Iridescent. Organic. The process of transmutation, one thing becoming another. It is a blessing undisguised.
'Yeoville was recorded in my basement home studio between August and November of 2021. Ambient music has been a huge part of my life since around 1986 when I was listening to David Sylvian and Cocteau Twins. Releases by KLF, The Orb and Angelo Badalamenti would inspire me to dive even deeper. The inspiration for these tracks was a desire to create drones and rhythmic drones. There’s no greater feeling than getting all the machines droning, then kicking back in the studio and letting the ambience roll on for the rest of the day. It’s a great pleasure and honor to share these tracks with you. I hope they bring you as much joy as they have me.' - Brendon Moeller

Mysteries of the Deep presents a new album from UK-based producer & composer, Thomas Ragsdale & Richard Arnold, entitled ‘Transformations I’
A meeting of minds between family members – Thomas Ragsdale and Richard Arnold – instigated a serendipitous musical partnership, and ’Transformations I’ is the resultant first collaborative body of work. Ragsdale is Arnold’s stepson and both musicians share a fascination of exploring new sound terrain and innovative approaches to composition.
It began with Arnold sending a collection of his instrumental works over to Ragsdale who began to deconstruct and reshape each piece’s lavish sound palette, ushering in new detail with granular synthesis, micro sounds and live tape looping. Sounds were broken down, magnified and inverted, occasionally allowing glimpses of any original version to escape like submersed sands of time.
“A glimpse, a glimmer. A shimmer, a shade. Tonal delicacy, rhythmic suggestion. The soundtrack to a rich inner life. ‘Transformations 1’ is an invitation to the listener to dive deep within. The work of two artists whose kinship is not only filial, but expressionistic: each reconfigures the other, forging new paths in sound together. As past meets present, tradition finds its way forward. Lie awash in dulcet waves. Listen in as patterns emerge, blossom, dissipate. The finite expands. A gossamer beauty takes shape. Boundaries dissolve, and what is old is new again. Transformation.”

Mysteries’ latest from Melbourne-based producer Mosam Howieson falls somewhere between realms — percussive, deep techno and airy ambient — eventually landing in a liminal, stunning, undefinable space. From the wispy, tentacled opener “Explorations” to the IDM-leaning stunner “Cerebro,” Howison’s Aphelion is an intentional experiment in world building, and the world he’s built is a landscape brimming with a potent confluence of retro-futurist sounds, genres, and textures.
Aphelion refers to the point at which a planet is furthest from the sun. Despite the inherent darkness in this concept and its release coming in the wake of a turbulent year, Howieson assures us that he’s far from cynical: in fact, he says the album is “about coming back to the light.” Whether it's the acidic arpeggiation, airy pads, or intricately woven percussion that gets us there, Aphelion is emotionally transportive. In certain tracks, 80’s-influenced synth melody provides the teeth — the LP is not overly percussive, nor is it strictly ambient. Tracks like the IDM-tinged “Cerebro” showcase Howieson’s take on ethereal, breakbeat-influenced techno: airtight percussion and well-placed acid make this a standout. Howieson’s more rhythmic cuts are balanced by beat-less ones; “Low Orbit,” for example, is a dense cloud of a track, sweeping like ominous fog over a valley. But it isn’t long before we’re back above the clouds again with “Dream Sequence” and the title track, whose taut synth melodies and minimal, reverb-soaked percussion give power and depth to the overarching vision of the LP. In listening, there’s a sense of the ground moving beneath one’s feet — and despite Howieson’s skilled, masterful production, the listening experience of Aphelion is undoubtedly about surrender, not control. The soundscape it produces is both fresh and classic, or in another word, elegant.

The soundscape it produces is both fresh and classic, or in another word, elegant.

Mysteries' latest comes from The Spiral, whose debut release, Orange Sunshine, is a strange, cosmic unfolding, or a glimpse into another dimension that takes its influence from being, in fact, under the influence. The Spiral is a new project from Oliver Chapoy (formerly Certain Creatures), and the album is a sonic representation of a LSD-infused journey. The Spiral aims to capture not only a certain sound but a mood, as inspired by Chapoy’s own psychedelic wanderings in the mountains of Japan. The opening track, “Two Drops,” takes us down the proverbial rabbit hole, and we get the sense that we’re about to be transported to another world entirely. The tracks “Redshift” and “Blueshift” continue the transmutation and—nearing ten minutes each—are mini journeys in themselves. Frequency modulations and whirring oscillations make everything sound and feel wobbly. Similar to the come-up stage of a trip, there’s a sense we’re about to break through. By the time Orange Sunshine reaches its literal peak in “Moon over Minakami” we feel as if we’ve arrived in the center; this is very much the focal point of the album. This track is epic and euphoric, and is tied to a specific memory in Minakami. Chapoy says of his intentions with the album, "Much of this record is a sonic reinterpretation of my experience in Japan as an escape after such a tumultuous year."
Chapoy is a master of playing with the spatial qualities of soundscape, and at times sounds appear in one ear and retreat to the other, which adds to the visceral sensory experience and strengthens the conceptual aspect. At its core, Orange Sunshine is an intentionally disorienting collection of collaged arrangements that work cohesively, and to mesmerizing effect. The ending too is a gorgeous dissolving of textures, like energy being dispersed over the infinite. As signaled by its name, so much of this album is what you’d expect: trippy, transportive, adventurous, densely packed, and highly immersive. However like all hallucinogenic voyages, so much of it is unexpected: Orange Sunshine truly surprises. Chapoy has found a distinct voice with The Spiral, and this debut shows he is an artist finding himself and his sound, ironically, by creating a world we can easily get lost in.

Picture a skyline. Then, fog cascading down the wooded hills of San Francisco, towards the Pacific. And rising up from that land is a tower — the radio antenna of the Sutro Tower — that reaches upwards like a metal claw, as if to harness all of the power of the sky. That is the image Christina Chatfield’s Sutro conjures and is also its point of inspiration.
Christina Chatfield, based in SF, offers Mysteries an impressive, visionary full-length debut. Abound with polyphonic synth work and immersive tonal structures, these arrangements unfold into lush, cinematic soundscapes. Chatfield has long been a versatile producer with roots in techno, electro, ambient, shoegaze and more — and all of these influences come through in Sutro, creating an album with remarkable power and emotional depth.
At times, tracks like “Nameless,” with its misty vocals layered over hypnotic synth, pay homage to the shoegaze greats. At other points, the album turns retro-futuristic, becoming a sonic rendering of the Sutro Tower itself. In “Pearls Scattered,” for example, an off-kilter synth melody lends eccentricity to an already moody atmosphere. Arguably the most immersive arrangements on the album are “Concatenate I” and its connected successor “Concatenate II,” as well as the richly textured, panoramic track “Drin.” As “Concatenate” derives its name from a linguistic programming concept meaning linking (things) together in a chain or series, it seems natural that the album extends “Concatenate” into two sequences. In both, synth arpeggiation guides the ear through maximalist landscapes accented by lush pads. “Drin” is melodic and sweeping, bringing to mind the ruins of the Sutro Baths, bathed in the glow of afternoon light. “Drin” especially is a microcosmic example of what happens in so many of the tracks on this album: they start quiet and evolve, until it’s clear the silence is teeming with life. The album closes with its title track, which leans into Chatfield’s techno sensibilities; its elegance leaves the ear satisfied. Altogether, the album nourishes and satisfies, for what Chatfield has composed is thoughtfully conceptualized and wholly complete.

Mysteries of the Deep has released its third and final compilation, rounding out the three-part seasonal series that began earlier this year. Each has been distinct and reflective of the season of its release; the first, released in spring, leaned towards the organic and ethereal. The second—a summer release—was oriented towards rhythmic vitality. And the third installment in the series, like the winter season, is deep, dark, and contemplative: a call to turn inwards. The thread that connects each track in Chapter Three is mood: each one of these tracks brings to mind the inward spaces of winter. From the smoky, ghost-like vocals of Xexzy’s “Lost” to the percussive fervor of Birds of Prey’s “Escapement,” this compilation offers a dynamic range of sounds, while remaining sonically coherent.
Thomas Ragsdale’s “Kicking Ox” makes for a fitting opening, for its dark pulse and somber strings set the tone for what’s to follow. Much of this work seems to reflect the end of a long, chaotic year; often these arrangements are stark, unsettling and dystopian, like Push for Night’s tense, cinematic “Fingering the Fuse” and Israel Vines’ “Shallow Pursuits.” Elements like the ragged chords of Rafael Anton Irisarri’s “Haggard,” the steady, buried kick in Christina Giannone’s “Lapsed Contentment” or the sonic droplets of Radere’s “Harm Matrix,” lend to a sparse, wintry atmosphere. But, as within any bleak, snowy landscape, there’s the occasional sheen of light. Joachim Spieth’s “Luna,” and Rhaeticus’ “Standing on Concrete” are heightened and emotionally rich. Overall, the third and final release grounds itself in an identity that feels distinctly different from the first two chapters, and yet simultaneously completes the arc of the series, which has showcased over three dozen artists dedicated to their craft.

Much of this work seems to reflect the end of a long, chaotic year; often these arrangements are stark, unsettling and dystopian, like Push for Night’s tense, cinematic “Fingering the Fuse” and Israel Vines’ “Shallow Pursuits.” Elements like the ragged chords of Rafael Anton Irisarri’s “Haggard,” the steady, buried kick in Christina Giannone’s “Lapsed Contentment” or the sonic droplets of Radere’s “Harm Matrix,” lend to a sparse, wintry atmosphere. But, as within any bleak, snowy landscape, there’s the occasional sheen of light. Joachim Spieth’s “Luna,” and Rhaeticus’ “Standing on Concrete” are heightened and emotionally rich. Overall, the third and final release grounds itself in an identity that feels distinctly different from the first two chapters, and yet simultaneously completes the arc of the series, which has showcased over three dozen artists dedicated to their craft.

Mysteries of the Deep has released its third and final compilation, rounding out the three-part seasonal series that began earlier this year. Each has been distinct and reflective of the season of its release; the first, released in spring, leaned towards the organic and ethereal. The second—a summer release—was oriented towards rhythmic vitality. And the third installment in the series, like the winter season, is deep, dark, and contemplative: a call to turn inwards. The thread that connects each track in Chapter Three is mood: each one of these tracks brings to mind the inward spaces of winter. From the smoky, ghost-like vocals of Xexyz’s “Lost” to the percussive fervor of Birds of Prey’s “Escapement,” this compilation offers a dynamic range of sounds, while remaining sonically coherent.

Guy Hobsbawm, the new alias of Gunnar Haslam, offers Mysteries a debut LP that is perfectly tailored to the times. Communes Qui Poussent Comme Des Champignons Après Le Déluge, which literally translates to ‘communes that grew like mushrooms after the flood’, is sparse and cinematic: an ideal score to any dystopian film. Except “dystopia” denotes an imaginary or speculative scenario, and what Hobsbawm has created is a natural reaction to the current global crisis as it relates to the past. In his own words, the title “pictures the flood of hunger, economic depression, and wide-scale political instability that was the background of 1848, draws links to the coming flood of 2020, and (tries to) imagine a brighter future of communes growing like mushrooms.”
The conceptual framework of 1848 and the ideologies of Louis-Auguste Blanqui, serves to mold the sonic landscape. In these pieces, there’s a focus on absence rather than presence. Sparse, long-form arrangements, like “Blanquistes du Nil” and the cricket-laden “Exil au Serir” seem to conjure a world in which the earth has supplanted man, or moved on without him. Many of these tracks make use of natural instrumentation and field recordings taken by Hobsbawm in North Africa and Mexico, to haunting effect. The lapping water and creaking wood in “Palermo, June 1848” suggest the residue of a flood, thereby linking the sonic to the conceptual. The final track, “Fustat,” which builds tension through metallic clangs and a Japanese sho, is an homage to Iannis Xenakis, the pioneering Greek-French composer. Guy Hobsbawm has taken the strange predicament of our global climate and created a cohesive album that represents the despair of the present — while connecting it to the past. The result is a landscape that is both foreign and familiar: a sonic paradox that represents the recurrence of a dark history. And yet within this, there is a glimmer of hope for a different future.

The second chapter in the Mysteries compilation series is a departure from the airy, ethereal style of its predecessor, and instead offers an energetic, vibrant selection of tracks that fits with the summer season of its release. This comp is characterized by broken rhythm and lush ambience from a range of accomplished artists in New York and beyond, including but not limited to Tin Man, Abby Echiverri, rrao, Clay Wilson, M Parent, and label artists Nathaniel Young and Matthew Patterson Curry.
This is an anthology characterized by thought and intention; each track is a shining example of the artist’s distinct sound and craft. The first few arrangements bring to mind the natural world: a jungle’s canopy or a sweltering day. Tin Man contributes a bright, tonal opening, amplified by the distant sound of birds, before tdel’s “Nu,” minimal and percussive, leads us into deeper territory. Abby Echiverri’s “Varzea” builds off of this organically, providing rhythmic depth and hypnotic layering in a style reminiscent of the late 90’s.
The tracks sonically gel, and yet there are deviances in genre that make this a dynamic, compelling release. M Parent’s “Mysteries of the Street” is restrained, atmospheric electro at its finest. Clay Wilson and Obelus provide sparse, IDM-tinged rhythmic dreams, at once transcendent and visceral. “Shyama,” from rrao, is filled with meditative vocal loops that resound like a mantra. The contributions of label artists Nathaniel Young and Matthew Patterson Curry are examples of exquisite sound design. Each production is a testament to the skill and vision of each artist. Whether you’re seeking rhythmic or arrhythmic varieties of experimental music, this compilation is a superior selection of tracks, primed to withstand the test of time.

The second chapter in the Mysteries compilation series is a departure from the airy, ethereal style of its predecessor, and instead offers an energetic, vibrant selection of tracks that fits with the summer season of its release. This comp is characterized by broken rhythm and lush ambience from a range of accomplished artists in New York and beyond, including but not limited to Tin Man, Abby Echiverri, rrao, Clay Wilson, M Parent, and label artists Nathaniel Young and Matthew Patterson Curry.
This is an anthology characterized by thought and intention; each track is a shining example of the artist’s distinct sound and craft. The first few arrangements bring to mind the natural world: a jungle’s canopy or a sweltering day. Tin Man contributes a bright, tonal opening, amplified by the distant sound of birds, before tdel’s “Nu,” minimal and percussive, leads us into deeper territory. Abby Echiverri’s “Varzea” builds off of this organically, providing rhythmic depth and hypnotic layering in a style reminiscent of the late 90’s.
The tracks sonically gel, and yet there are deviances in genre that make this a dynamic, compelling release. M Parent’s “Mysteries of the Street” is restrained, atmospheric electro at its finest. Clay Wilson and Obelus provide sparse, IDM-tinged rhythmic dreams, at once transcendent and visceral. “Shyama,” from rrao, is filled with meditative vocal loops that resound like a mantra. The contributions of label artists Nathaniel Young and Matthew Patterson Curry are examples of exquisite sound design. Each production is a testament to the skill and vision of each artist. Whether you’re seeking rhythmic or arrhythmic varieties of experimental music, this compilation is a superior selection of tracks, primed to withstand the test of time.

Mysteries is proud to release a new album from Turkish-born, NY-based musician and designer Løt.te (@lottesounds). While he is mostly known for his club-oriented releases on The Bunker New York and New York Trax labels, Løt.te has been experimenting with sound design and narrative compositions since he launched the project in 2014. His experimental tendencies and growing interest in politics collide in a 60 minute piece that’s composed as the soundtrack to a short story and film script he wrote. Though the details of the story are not essential for full enjoyment of the musical composition, the overall theme does give context to the dark and emotionally-charged feel of the piece. The story is set in Turkey a few decades in the future, and revolves around the government’s use of surveillance and artificial intelligence to try to hold onto power. It explores themes of autocracy, oppression and resistance, and the growing role technology plays to propagate, enable and counter them.
While Løt.te’s interest in politics has been building since first noticing his home country’s descent into autocracy under the current regime, the specific inspiration for the piece originated from how Turkish and other oppressive governments have been using the internet and social media to silence dissent and incarcerate citizens they deem threatening to their rule, and the way common people have been using similar technology to organize and enable anti-government protests around the world.

Mysteries is excited to present a new album from NY-based sound designer and musician, Matthew Patterson Curry, known formerly for his project Safety Scissors. These pieces are thoughtful arrangements, each one complete in and of itself. However, when placed together, the result is a stunning and harmonious collection from an artist with a clear vision, voice and sound. Each of these seven compositions were commissioned for various film and art projects in New York and beyond, including a sci-fi short, an installation in Manhattan’s Oculus, a quad multimedia installation by artist Peter Coffin, and others.

Mysteries of the Deep is proud to present the first chapter in a three-part seasonal anthology series, capturing a range of work from artists who have inspired or contributed to the project since its inception. This cohesive first chapter builds upon itself organically in a clear arc, offering listeners a sonic outpouring that is sparse, delicate and tonal. These are lullabies of presence.
Part one in the series humbly boasts an accomplished array of artists, opening with an oceanic meditation from Aleski Perälä. It then moves into tracks from Andrew Pekler, Earthen Sea, James A. Reeves, LDY OSC, label staple William Selman, and Mysteries founder Grant Aaron, amongst other notable artists. As if an ode to the season of its release, these pieces retain a natural, generative quality. Think cirrus clouds moving against blue sky or the pale lavender of twilight. Each arrangement stays situated within the realm of air, of ether, presenting a world that is dreamlike and essential.

Mysteries of the Deep is delighted to present its second album by Portland, Oregon-based musician and multimedia artist William Selman (@wselman), entitled “Naming Before Names.” In a world that demands categorization of everything around us through taxonomies, genres, and strict schemas, Selman’s album aims to explore the spaces between categories. His goal is not to offer concrete explanatory gestures, but rather, to create a deliberate space for suspension and ambiguity. These eight compositions conjure a world in which humans are asked to stand on the periphery, observing their surroundings from a vantage of curious wonder, rather than clear definition.
Selman draws from distinct sonic realms, however, citing David Berhman, Maggi Payne, and Alvin Curran as influences. He says, “I like the way these artists use simple forms to ground dense compositions with an approach to composition that is improvisational and collage-like.” In line with this sentiment, the album’s quality is uncannily natural. Many of Selman’s field recordings, collected over a twenty-year period, find a home here, adorning a landscape that’s as visual as it is sonic; we hear hydrophone recordings of tide pools and summer lagoons, grasshopper wings in a lava field, broken humidifiers and sandstorms alongside moments of intentional instrumentation. Light vibraphone gives way to slow hand drum movements. Textured synths add viscosity without extracting us from the ecological world. It feels inaccurate to say the album’s occasional rhythms are constructed; rather, patterns seem to arise organically out of the aether. In Selman’s universe, there’s a sense that everything exists in primordial unity, untouched by the human imprint that insists on fragmenting the world into recognizable parts.
Written, produced, and recorded by William Selman in Portland, Oregon Jan 2018 - Feb 2020 Bass guitar on "A New Old Firmament" by Steve Wade Special thanks to Paul Dickow and Marcus Fischer for percussion and the time-share vibraphone Additional mixing by Oliver Chapoy at Ohm Sweet Ohm, NY Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio, NY Photography by Candace Price Words by Taylor Bratches

'With this mix I wanted to experiment with some of the folk music that I collected during these years of traveling around the globe. I wanted to combine a certain type of traditional world music, mainly Asian, with a raw and enveloping ambient and electro-acoustic background. Inside there are aspects of Mongolian, Japanese, Taiwanese and South Korean music culture, together with field-recordings by Hafdís Bjarnadóttir from Iceland and electronic compositions by Eliane Radigue, Pete Namlook, Carlo Giustini, Loscil and Music For Sleep. My aim is to submit the listener to a different approach to listening to folk music, creating a soundscape that fully reflects the experiences and emotions during those travels.'

Mysteries of the Deep Podcast, Chapter CVIII by Israel Vines (@israel-vines)
'Jeff Mills has been a hero of mine for a quarter of a century, but around 6 or 7 years ago I realized that I had lost touch with his world. Part of the reason is his prolific nature (which makes it hard to keep up) and the other factor is that Jeff just wasn't producing "hits" like i9 or Gamma Player at this point, so if you weren't paying close attention, some of what he was doing was easy to miss. Jeff was going deeper and more conceptual, stretching his recurring themes to their limits and exploring new territory that wasn't necessarily geared toward creating dancefloor mayhem. As I caught up with the releases I had missed and started keeping up again, I was drawn in particular to his ambient and experimental efforts, which I think are somewhat overlooked because of his legendary status as a dancefloor DJ. With this in mind, I got the idea to compile a mix of my favorite tracks of his in the more abstract style. Here is the result of that idea. Enjoy, and long live Jeff Mills.'

Limitation Without Distraction — from Nathaniel Young's debut album — Accosting Form, Pure Intent.
Artist: Nathaniel Young Album: Accosting Form, Pure Intent Cat No: MOTDLP005 Format: 12” White Vinyl LP, Limited Edition CD, Digital
"Accosting Form, Pure Intent" — Nathaniel Young’s debut album for Mysteries of the Deep — is a contradiction that makes sense. At once raw and elegant, it emerges from a place of constraint and desire. Its individual tracks reflect this paradox as the album unlocks itself like a koan: a riddle that, once solved, dawns on the listener like an epiphany.
Despite the assorted elements at work, a visceral quality binds everything together. Even the record's more subdued works are textured and tangible, at times balancing or playing against the serrated edges of its more structured pieces. Like all compelling works, the sounds here exist in a liminal space that is not entirely classifiable. Still, it is wholly cohesive in both its moodiness and its adeptness.
“The entirety of the LP was written using a Korg MS-20 Mini, Korg SQ-1 step sequencer, Korg Volca Beats, Korg Volca Kick, Behringer Model D, and a Zoom H4N. The core of each track was recorded live in one or two takes and subsequent synth parts were overdubbed after the fact. Since I was working solely with monophonic synths, I utilized a lot of panning in the overdubbing process to help create new harmonics, and even chords in some cases, which really helped flesh out the often extremely monolithic and singular sounding analog synths. Beyond that, as I mentioned, I really focused on creating sequences that I found I could listen to on repeat no matter their level of simplicity.”

Mysteries of the Deep Podcast, Chapter CVI by Rhyw.
Recorded at Modern Art Museum of Bologna (MAMbo) on 8th June, as part of Biografilm Festival for Julian Charriére's opening solo show "All We Ever Wanted Was Everything and Everywhere".
Julian Charriére's work bridges the realms of environmental science and cultural history. The exhibition includes a wide selection of works such as photographs, installations, sculptures and videos, touching upon the history of science, the development of media culture, the romantic vision of exploration and the modern ecological crisis.
The set was loosely structured around the themes found in the show, specifically focussing on underwater artifacts & radioactive sites.

XYZ - from the forthcoming album by @birdsofprey. Vocals by Camille Altay.
If emptiness is heaviness is Godliness, Birds of Prey's third full-length LP is an immaculate conception from on high. The record luxuriates in the spaces between. What's left out says as much as what made it in. Deep, droning, and dub wise, “Vanishing Point” cascades in elegance. Its reference points call towards the sample manipulation of American tape music and the downward gaze of amniotic British bass music. It charts its own path nonetheless, building its own space for drifting off to.
Unlike many peers operating in similar realms, Birds of Prey are a proper band, a foursome: Grant Aaron, Clay Wilson, Eric Holmes, and Camille Altay. Each are artists in their own right with a distinct practice. In Birds of Prey, their collaborations in studio take on a greater shape, whittled and edited into cosmic formlessness.
Although borne of improvisation, you may never know that in the listening. "Vanishing Point" is a tight, coherent work, the sound of a cadre of talented musicians locked in flow. Rippling tones become glacial melodies. Cavernous drums emerge barely from the ether. Rhythms interlock, interpolate. Patterns repeat and dissolve whence they came. There is untold potency in simplicity, and Birds of Prey make it known.

Mysteries of the Deep, Chapter C. Space in the Sun by Sébastien Robert. Cover photo courtesy of Candace Price.
Akio Suzuki constructed the Hinatabokko no kukan (Space in the Sun) in 1988. This space consists of two huge parallel walls, in between which the artist can sit all day and purify his hearing by listening to the reflected sounds of nature. This space leads the artist to discover a new method of listening. Suzuki himself comments, "Sound, which had been conceptually imprisoned in various spaces, is freed to circle the world."

"When I make a record, I always know exactly what I want it to sound like — so it's all about building a holistic world from the sounds I hear in my head at that moment," says Lori Scacco, the New York-based composer and multi-instrumentalist whose latest album, "Desire Loop," is Mysteries of the Deep's third full-length album release.
For "Desire Loop," Scacco built a world all her own, and shared it with the world: "an album of synthesizer music that puts the study of color and texture at the forefront," writes Pitchfork's Philip Sherburne, with "consonant harmonies and simple melodies … evocative of European folk music."
An array of friends and collaborators re-envision "Desire Loop" through their own lens on the accompanying remix EP "Interpretations Vol. III": William Selman gently extends the subtle melodies of 'Red Then Blue.' Helado Negro shifts the mood of 'Other Flowers,' from somber to exploratory. Victoria Keddie amplifies the found sounds in 'Back to Electric.' A Grape Dope cuts up 'Interactivity In Plastic Space,' lending it downtempo flair. And last but not least, Certain Creatures offers up 'Other Flowers in Strange Cities,' an extended 12-minute journey that swirls, undulates, and arpeggiates in equal measure.

"I think of myself as a naturalist no matter the palette," says Lori Scacco, the New York multi-instrumentalist, composer, and electronic musician whose new album, 'Desire Loop,' is Mysteries of the Deep's third full-length LP.
Natural indeed: Scacco's music effuses warmth, enveloping listeners like a gentle embrace. Her first album, 'Circles,' was released in the early aughts on Eastern Developments, an imprint co-founded by Guillermo Scott Herren, aka Prefuse 73. She spent much of the interim period composing music for performance, film, and classical ballet, influences audible throughout 'Desire Loop.'
Flush with incandescent scree, bubbly synthesizer, and easygoing dulcet tones, the album's simplicity belies its emotional impact. At times — "Cosmographia" and "Other Flowers," for instance — Scacco's songwriting approaches a therapeutic purity that feels nearly virtuous, immaculate. This is by design: she wrote this album as counterpoint to today's destructive political landscape . "I had to create an empathic means of access for myself, and in turn, for the listener, using the core of all that I value as my way into the music,” she explains.
"I wanted to provide a vehicle for the listener to impart their own emotional experience without imposing my own meaning. I found myself returning to that space over and over again.” After listening to 'Desire Loop,' we expect that you will, too.

Deeper still goes Interpretations Vol. II, Mysteries of the Deep's next collection of edits, reworks, and revisions, all culled from our second full-length LP, William Selman's "Musica Enterrada." Both the gentle bloom of Matthew Patterson Curry’s twist on the title track and Borne's shimmering percussion-forward version of 'The Island Before The Internet' hew pleasingly close to the source material. Elsewhere, rrao and Clay Wilson transform 'Thick Description' into a stygian journey, with a susurrant reiki session, and Strategy recombines 'Musica Enterrada' into a classic subaquatic house tune. A bonus original work from Selman, 'Sun Tunnels Tree Tunnels,' completes the release.

Mysteries of the Deep Podcast, Chapter LXXXV. Universe-maintenance by William Selman. Cover photo courtesy of Candace Price.
https://soundcloud.com/wselman
What if music had no beginning, no end? Can music exist "for itself" or "of itself," without structure constraining it, defining it? Can music be non-linear, non-narrative, simply experiential, existential? The second full-length album on Mysteries of the Deep, Musica Enterrada from Portland's William Selman, neither answers these questions nor supposes them. But in listening, one can't help but wonder: What if I disappeared into this record forever?
In another time and place, William Selman was known as Warmdesk, an alias through which he issued a series of sharply precise minimal techno records. In recent past, Selman shifted gears, shedding the dynamics of tension and release that characterized his previous alias' output. Under his own name, Selman began releasing process-oriented, freeform experimental music on cassette-focused outlets like Digitalis and Hausu Mountain. Now comes Musica Enterrada, a diaphanous, weightless musical vision not unlike the theoretical square root of GRM and Popol Vuh's early electronic forays.
Split into six tracks across two sides of vinyl, Musica Enterrada bubbles, churns, drifts, and dozes. Dulcet tones pile up gently like waves on shore. Patterns repeat and reconfigure, as if heard from different angles. Rhythms appear, shift the frame, then disappear, into the ether whence they came. Play Musica Enterrada on repeat. And if you disappear into it, fret not — you have drifted into solace.

Divina Mundi: Tales of a dream and an acoustic reconstruction
When I enter the forbidden world, I'm frozen. I don't move, I look around. Everything seems strange to me and everything is completely different from what I am used to. I have no idea what's happening to me right now and I feel scared. This place is bursting with life and the creatures don't look like normal animals, but are much more airy and abstract. Every time I try to look at them, they disappear again, which makes it difficult to make an accurate observation. They make noises, which sound very harmonious and oscillating and have a mystical effect. The atmosphere in this place is completely filled with these benevolent sounds without being perceived as disturbing. I realize that this world is and has always been in perfect balance. In this pre- or post-human reality there is nothing that can disturb this tender and sensitive harmony. This thought is disturbing, because I know that a wrong action on my part would disturb this balance and endanger this utopian system. So I stay calm and observe everything without moving. Every object in this world is in motion and everything seems to revolve around a center point, which is too abstract to be recognized by me as such. Entropy is not present in this world. There is no intrinsic quest for disorder, because everything is perfect.

A voice in the ether. A calm, clement drone. A gentle, pulsing throb. Like the ghost of a forgotten future as imagined by the distant past, Certain Creatures' sophomore LP Nasadiya Sukta is a study in timelessness — crystalline, heartfelt ambient music designed to push light through shadow.
CERTAIN CREATURES is the alias of Brooklyn-based artist Oliver Chapoy, and Nasadiya Sukta was crafted especially for Mysteries of the Deep. Divided into six tracks, Nasadiya coheres into a single extraterrestrial mass, its beautiful understated elegance encouraging repeat listens. Simultaneously harking back to ambient classics from the '90s while cementing Chapoy as a visionary artist with his own unique voice, Nasadiya Sukta is one for the space travellers indeed.

This is a representation of the music that I've been releasing (and not releasing)on Bandcamp over the last couple years. Bandcamp has been a great outlet for me, and I greatly appreciate the support from everyone who has subscribed to me and bought my albums. This collection is a little heavier on the syncopated, African "desert blues" style that I love so much, with a few songs thrown in, especially towards the end. Thank you for listening, and thanks to my friends who have contributed on these recordings... Brian Harding: bass, keys, clarinet. Ben Chlapek: keys. Eric Eleazer: keys, drums.
