Welcome to the 34th Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics.
This monthly released podcast brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer. This months session is created by Periskop.
Known for his Immerse lp on Kabalion but also for his dark field recordings, sounds and textures this set takes you to a diversity of ancient music and chants of monks with in between a moment of darkness with a touch of light. All combined into a well balanced and harmonic arangement of ambient music.
Bio:
Periskop is a solo music project by Danish electronic music producer Danny Kreutzfeldt. It was started in 2003 as one of many monikers used in the 00s by Danny Kreutzfeldt to release and perform different styles of electronic music. From dark ambient through deep industrial/dubby techno to experimental sound design, speedcore and harshnoise.
About the Mix:
Containing tracks from 1994-2017 and numerous styles of soundscapes, it is hard to pinpoint one single theme of this set other than a certain brooding introspective mood, that always set in, when I end up working on music. Going one step deeper, however, it is possible to talk about several themes within the set. There is the cathartic angle stemming from the development through the set: From the glacial otherworldly isolationist ambient of Seht and Thomas Köner through several stages of textures, experimentation and rhythm to end up in more extreme soundscapes. There is the timelessness of certain soundscapes, that have stayed with me over the years: How old school industrial ambient like Rapoon, Lustmord and (certain material of) Biosphere connects with certain ambient music cultures of today - like output from both the Cryo Chamber and Northern Electronics labels or, indeed, dungeon synth by Hedge Wizard. Or how the early digital soundscapes of the glitch-movement in the early 00’s still sound completely contemporary to my ears. Vladislav Delay, Fennesz, Senking etc. And then there is the perspective, where the set could be seen as some sort of extended electronic ritual in terms of maintaining a certain steady flow throughout several repetitive tracks. Particularly from The Haxan Cloax, several contemporary deep techno acts and others already mentioned. This comes rather subconsciously to me as a DJ, as the ritual/hypnotic aspect is present in almost all the music I enjoy regardless of genre. The set was made in May-June 2017 through several sessions of re-iteration after an initial all-night session, where potential tracks were tried out against each other. I feel it is the best I can do at this point in time in terms of giving a fulfilling immersive inner cinema experience.
