2019 mixes (IV): Tim Six

Today we share a mix by our friend Tim Six, an ambient and drone musician from Russia who also has been releasing music as Creation VI, in addition to some other collaborative projects. He is also a member of the Microphones family -he writes as Pied Paper, here and on his other blog. In addition to his activity as an artist, he runs ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ, a label known for their wonderfully crafted physical editions of drone and ambient albums, and Global Pattern, which focuses on ambient vaporwave cassettes.

His mix is a travel of consciousness through cosmic realms of organic drones and electroacoustic mysteries. Listening to it, you feel like you're looking at unknown depths in the sky surrounded by the wild magic of nature. And it has a hidden surprise: last minutes are an advance of his upcoming album. Enjoy!

creation VI ~ night over the black sea (πάνθεον, 2015)

Live recording of the show in Sochi, when stars and planets formed favorable pattern and flow of sound was colorizing almost by itself with ornaments made of voices, flutes, jaw harps and field recordings. Organic nightly drone ambient in the best traditions of Creation VI.

«Space is unfolding in front of listener. Space in which melodies go from everywhere. Flexible music is similar to light – weightless and pervasive. Even darkest forest thickets acquire dense emerald hue, and whole world starts to play with special colors following these magical tunes, mysterious voices and light weavings of flutes. Live recording presented on this album balances nature elements, sound becomes basic transforming energy. First sound is born from silence, solar eye appears from the dark to lighten the Universe. 

Creation VI dedicated this concert to Black Sea, which surface is touched by sundown. Gazing beyond the horizon, we're catching the last bright rays sinking in the depths of sea».

sij ~ way to dream (πάνθεον, 2015)

This most personal album in SiJ discography is dedicated to his beloved wife. Its transparent sound awakens a romantic dreamer in every careful listener. Born somewhere between the sky and sea, in silent evening dialogue of elements, melodies of this album are lining up in compositions like a guiding stars, so everyone could find its own Way to Dream.

«Last rays of setting sun reflected from the azure sea surface picked up the purest, deepest dreams and flew away like a rapid sailboat. The light fades over horizon, giving way to lullaby of twinkling stars»...

welcome black - different shades of perfect black (πάνθεον, 2015)

Perfectly crafted third full-length album by russian one-man-one-guitar project from Kostroma city. Endless flows of dense gravity, astronomical distances and psychosomatic post-effects. Very minimalistic drone work, carefully infused with nuances. Works good at high volume levels, but also in headphones – completely different experience each time. 

«With every minute it unfolded more and more in all directions. It was pitch black at first, but then some colors were added. Some light. Some life. But it was only for a brief moment of growth and soon enough it was only black color all around. There were some movement, and maybe new light was waiting for its birth, but after all – it was just different shades of perfect black».
