Faxi Nadu - The Ambient File DJ Set 2011 - Over six hours of flowing, deep, introspective chill-out music for the soul

Faxi Nadu - The Ambient File DJ Set 2011

Ever wondered what do Biosphere, Mark Snow, Faithless, Vesica Piscis, Angelo Badalamenti, Elvis Presley, Miranda, Adham Shaik, Vivaldi, Scatman and Faxi Nadu have in common? Well, look no further....

<3 Over six hours of flowing, deep, introspective chill-out music for the soul <3

I was supposed to play this in this huge festival here in Israel that was setup on the beach. The dudes had it lined up so they had this huge full-on stage with about a million turbo sounds, then literally five meters from it the chill-out stage with two whimpy speakers, and another 5 meters to the other side the prog stage with another half million turbo sounds. How is someone supposed to chill while sandwiched between both stages is beyond me, let alone here the chill-out music ;)... anyways, as I was starting to play I made the horrible mistake of taking a chair from the chai area so I could chill, you know, with the chill-out music I was to play for seven hours. This led to screams by the chai people that the chairs are for costumers, and not for me, and that led to me giving them the finger and in true southpark fashion giving them the "screw you guys, i'm going home" treatment. I did get back home and record all the tracks and mini-sets and pieces I prepared into a set, and broke it down to 11 parts to manage a fun listening experience and an easier upload. The idea here was to provide a soundscaping experience and pay homage to some unique music I have come across from various sources and not just play the usual corny psy-chill loop. For me it feels like this is some of my best work putting together a full, rich journey, through various interpretations of "chill". So here you go :)

Faxi's Max/Msp Modular Elementals - Proof of Concept Vid

Working on a batch of higher level modules for Max/Msp and Max4Live - an attempt to bridge some of the gap between musician and programer and make it quicker and easier to involve max within a producing context. Introducting the basoc idea and the concept of "bricks" and "blocks". More to come...

Three tracks released on Goachestra's VA Vol. 1

Three new Faxi Nadu tracks. One is a sort of morning trance with a bit of an experimental vibe, a remix to Algae Bloom's track Thank You. The second is a bit of a silly floaty goa type tune and the third is a borderline darkish ordeal. Released on a free download compilation by Goachestra Event Records.

Faxi Nadu and Ocean Star Empire - Summer Solstice 2014 DI.FM

Originally broadcast at DI.FM Psytrance channel 210614
http://www.di.fm/goapsy/

Just a little history as some people on the original broadcast's posting have mentioned. As Faxi Nadu I produce music for over a decade. In 2008 I took almost a three years break from production and at that time hosted a trance radio show, made some parties and all that. From that time come the various oldschool goa sets that are floating online :) Faxi Nadu music started basically as silly nintendoish noodles and went through and still is going through constant change, one of the things I pride on is that every one of our albums is a totally different story. In 2011 I met Oss who became both my partner in music and my wife and now the Faxi Nadu name is both of us. She has progressively taken part since The Last Kick of Your Life album and today she is a full partner in crime :) In 2013 Nuno Muacho (Nomad Moon from Portugal), Leander Winkler (Killik from Germany) and I met online and started to talk about music and from that the Ocean Star Empire project was born. Leander has left the group after the debut album, but we have been joined by Kyle Ramos (Bacchanalian Bass from the USA). There is a Faxi Nadu album waiting in the wings for 2015, and we are 6 tracks into the next Ocean Star Empire one. Also at the moment Oss and I are working on a live act where we perform REAL live with synths and controllers and jam the music.

AKAI APC40 + MPK25 Reviews

We are very busy putting together our new live act and as part of that got some new gear, here are some imrpessions of the AKAI APC40 and MPK25.

Faxi Nadu - Disturbed Skating Silhouette - Hypnotic Trance DAW Video

Layers of harmony

The Dangling Thread - running track project video

FRESH straight from the oven - running track from daw to video, "The Dangling Thread". Ambitious attempt at harmonic-hypnotic trance by starting out from the very start with a 256 bar loop and then developing that.

Harmonic Layering and Hypnotic Trance

we've been exploring some "new" production methods and way of thinking lately, and when we tell our friends about it they indicate they don't really get what we mean. it is in strict terms "progressive" but the end result doesn't have a lot in common with the prog sound and vibe.

instead of working with a short loop and expanding it, we are starting with a really long loop to begin with - 128, 256 bars. each channel evolves within that loop, some can be as hooks and some can be with evolving scoring, but the idea is that the automations evolve and dynamically change each channel, almost all the channels have a ton of delay with massive feedback, and as more channels are introduced the interaction between them creates harmonizing and story. the channels pretty much all run at the same time together, with little interference in editing, for many minutes. there is little room for a huge bass or a lot of drums because the synth layers "steal" the spectrum. the snare and hats evolution and interaction provide the progression of the groove.

end result - almost a new subgenre - part goa, part prog, part something else. there is no instant gratification smash-the-dancefloor type of vibe with this, but it is very deep and mushroomy....  you get something that is both oldschool and simplistic, yet clever and refined, i would dare say "classy" and very musical, like waves of an ocean.
