Line Spectrum

<p>Today’s guest deejay is Oleg Puzan of <a href="https://www.mixcloud.com/LineSpectrum/" title="Line Spectrum">Line Spectrum</a>.</p> <p>Oleg, AKA <a href="https://dronnydarko.bandcamp.com" title="Dronny Darko">Dronny Darko</a>, was our guest deejay over a year ago. Dronny mix was drenched in atmospherics and utterly enchanting. It was like looking through the glass darkly. It was a no-brainer to ask Oleg to return to Soundwave with yet another mix, this time as Line Spectrum.</p> <p>Line Spectrum is a sound art project that expands sonic boundaries through sound manipulations often in a form of severe minimalism using a vast palette of microscopic sounds. Line Spectrum blends deep ambiences, musique concrète, avant-garde elements and silence. It is recommended that you listen to Line Spectrum with high quality headphones.</p> <p>Yeah, about that…</p> <p>Last week I took my dog for her evening walk. I find that’s the best time to listen to music and so I played Oleg’s mix. Ordinarily, Oleg’s Line Spectrum mix would have been a relaxing experience, but I used the transparent mode on my Apple AirPods Pro, which lets outside sound in. I use it when I walk my dog because I like to be aware of my surroundings. In this case in induced a state of anxiety because I couldn’t tell what I was hearing was from the Line Spectrum mic or from the outside world. Were the crickets I heard part of Oleg’s mix or my environment? Was that a jet flying overhead or what I was hearing over my AirPods? Were the chatter of people talking coming from a nearby house or from the mix I was listing to?</p> <p>It was an unsettling experience. I couldn’t trust what I was hearing. It was what I imagine having auditory hallucinations would feel like.</p> <p>Don’t let my experience detract from your enjoyment of Oleg’s mix. It’s truly wonderful. But please be wary if you should listen to the mix with Transparency mode on.</p> <p>Before I get out of Dodge, if you want to hear more music from Oleg, head over to Bandcmap and purchase his new a
