Brighton-based Australian artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Penelope Trappes takes over this week’s Sunday Mix with an hour of experimental sounds that serves as the perfect prelude to her new album, A Requiem – a project she describes as “a ceremonial collection of music” that helped her move through her own awareness of mortality and impending loss. Curated by candlelight and featuring tracks by the likes of Boris, Sunn O))) and Colin Stetson, this mix embodies Trappes’ deeply reflective mood on A Requiem, as well as its engulfing sombre atmosphere. Lean back and listen.
Where: I am in Brighton. Today I am resting, conserving energy for my upcoming tour, and spending time in Craven Wood, a patch of forest on top of the hill I live on.
What: I find inspiration in looking into the mercurial shadows and darker aspects of life. I tend to land in sacred pagan themes and as well as all aspects of nature.
Can you describe your ideal Sunday? My ideal Sunday would involve a lot of silence in nature with sunshine, meditation, and solitude.
What’s your ideal soundtrack to it? Ytterlännäs Gamla Kyrka – Organ rehearsal tape by Maria W. Horn and Mats Erlandsson.
How do you like to unwind away from music? Listening to my two fave podcasts, How To Train a Happy Mind and The Circle Is Cast.
Describe your Sunday mix? With the energy of the solar eclipse and the rapid shifting of time and energy, this mix was collated and curated by candlelight the week leading up to the release of my album, A Requiem. It’s how I feel in the now. This mix is contemplative and dark with eternal timelessness mirroring my album’s themes of mortality amid sociopolitical and familial chaos. I hope that this mix helps the listeners to dive deep within, embrace the shadows and come out the other side transformed.
