July 16, 2026 Mysteries of the Deep – Joan Gila
Mysteries of the Deep Podcast, Chapter 154 by @joan-gila. Recorded live at Springkell 2025.
'The premise of this DJ set was simple: to play exclusively from my personal collection of vinyl records and digitized CDs. So I packed a suitcase with them and flew to Springkell.
Since we were in Scotland, the set begins with inspiration drawn from the landscape and the legend of the Loch Ness Monster, as you can hear in the spoken-word snippet from Alex Harvey’s 1977 LP. From there, it gradually evolves into a less conceptual and more sensory journey, blending and layering sounds to create a continuous thread throughout.
The selection explores electroacoustic music, minimalism, musique concrète, and drone, with very little recent material. Many works lie hidden beneath the surface, but by digging layer by layer, you uncover true gems you didn’t even know existed. Long live the marvelous art of digging.'

May 19, 2023 MOTDLP016 – William Selman | Voyage In The Blue
Portland, OR-based multimedia artist William Selman returns to Mysteries of the Deep with his third album for the label. Drawing on influences such as David Toop, Beatriz Ferreyra, Elizabeth Waldo, and David Behrman, “The Weather Indoors” melds live and synthesized instrumentation, field recordings, and digital processing techniques in a new, more melodic and approachable direction.
Immersive site recordings open into melodic woodwinds, orchestral instrumentation, bass guitar, gongs, and vibraphone. Borrowing from the anthropologist Tim Ingold’s concept of “inversion,” this widescreen staging cuts immediately to the core of the project: the way human beings use the faculty of imagination to aestheticize their built surroundings with architecture, images of distant locales, and domesticated flora and fauna to contain the anxiety for the natural world that surrounds human life.
A clear peak in Selman's extensive catalog, “The Weather Indoors” captures his work at a moment expanding his musical and aesthetic project: Neither genre ambient nor musique concrète, but a unique sound world dense with conceptual play and moments of more traditional harmonic beauty.
“We are contaminated by our encounters: they change who we are as we make way for others. As contamination changes world-making projects, mutual worlds—and new directions—may emerge. Everyone carries a history of contamination; purity is not an option.” —Anne Lowenhaupt-Tsing, The Mushroom at the End of the World
