Patterns of Perception 80 - Grant Aaron by Patterns of Perception published on 2021-02-24T06:52:48Z Read our interview with Grant Aaron here: https://www.patternsofperception.com/post/a-chat-with-grant-aaron The first time Grant Aaron (@insideout) went to an event with a chill-out room, everything clicked into place. It was the beginning of a long love affair with ambient and experimental music, with its sparsity and often beat-less nature leaving plenty of room for the imagination to take over. Grant went on to take up DJing in chill-out spaces himself before founding the influential platform Mysteries of the Deep in New York a decade ago. Initially a podcast, Mysteries has evolved over time into an event series and record label, and has established itself as one of the most revered sources for ambient music, both online and offline. 2021 is shaping up to be as busy a year as any other for Mysteries: there are releases in the works from Christina Chatfield (@anitserk), Mosam Howieson (@mos-how) and Grant’s label partner Oliver Chapoy (@ohm_sweet_ohm), plus plans to bring back the podcast after a brief hiatus. In the midst of this busy schedule, Grant took the time to showcase his cinematic, storytelling-driven style for our own podcast, with a mix recorded in a dense New York winter and inspired by the dampening of sound that comes with heavy snowfall. Of the concept of his Patterns of Perception 80, Grant says: “The last eight or nine months have been some of the most difficult that I’ve been through in several years. A lot of it has to do with my work situation, which has been incredibly challenging and pushed me to rethink many things in my life. Then you have the pandemic, which has been this overarching theme for so many, most just trying to get through each day. But then there are these rays of light. I always try to be optimistic and hopeful about stuff, even when that can be really tough, so while this mix is very solemn, there are rays of light coming through.” Links: @insideout https://ra.co/dj/grantaaron @mysteriesofthedeep https://mysteriesofthedeep.bandcamp.com/ https://www.instagram.com/mystofthedeep/ @birdsofprey Genre Ambient Comment by theleosen Nice nice nice 2023-11-21T07:21:46Z Comment by Norppa-kissa Liked it, liked it, liked it! 2023-04-09T10:24:28Z Comment by D-Ram Amazing 2022-05-19T13:20:29Z Comment by YAZZY Beautiful 2022-02-02T11:23:47Z Comment by Denim Szram ID?
