The Clearing — 60 Minutes of Live Deep Listening & Slow Soundscapes (Summer Solstice 2026)

video upload by Greg Wilder

"On the summer solstice — Sunday, June 21, 2026 — a chapel in Keene, New Hampshire became a room for deep listening.

The Clearing is an occasional non-denominational sound environment: 60-90 minutes of live, slow-moving music composed and improvised in real time, meant for rest, presence, and one another's company. No screens. Nothing is asked of you, except to be present.

This was the first gathering of The Clearing, held on the longest day of the year.

On this occasion, some attendees sat quietly in chairs. Others lay on the floor with yoga mats and meditation cushions. Some did self-guided meditation or gentle yoga. Others simply listened. An adjoining parlor offered tea and conversation between friends and neighbors. The evening ended with a lively Q&A with the audience.

The music draws from the deep listening practice of Pauline Oliveros, the sustained-tone traditions of Éliane Radigue and La Monte Young, and the sacred sound lineage of Hildegard von Bingen through New England hymnody — all filtered through the electronic instruments of Greg Wilder and Alison Wilder.

"Purchased in Los Angeles in 2012, but it did not come with a lid. Serviced within two years, and have the notes available. Plays great. Sound and playability are incredible. Master Volume has a bit of scratching, but otherwise functions as it should. Local pickup in Austin only. Everything works, including CV and gate."

Dreadbox Artemis #3 | Winterdagen

video upload by Winterdagen

"New one on the Dreadbox Artemis synthesizer! As I've said before I'm a huge sucker for sawtooth lfos plucking filters, so I naturally had to make one of these patches on Artemis. Artemis absolutely delivers, I think it sounds beautiful. For this patch I've been making extensive use of the new mod matrix, which was recently added in a feature update. I love adding movement all over the place and spreading lfo times per voice by adding keytracking.

For this patch I'm also modulating the filter with noise, which gives the patch some lovely grit, and I'm modulating the bitrate of the bitcrusher, which ads some digital texture from time to time. I also love that you have a dedicated slider for reverb size, which detunes the reverb when you move it.

Hope you like the patch!"

The most powerful performance MUTE modules for Eurorack: NO BPM Mute Performer Demo

video upload by mylarmelodies

"The great NO BPM hired me to make a demo to explain their Mute Performer system - Mute Performer is arguably the most feature-complete muting system in Eurorack, as it can mute AND mix triggers, audio (clicklessly) and CV, and it can send MIDI to mute external devices too. And you can have up to 72 channels, and you can CLOCK the mutes, so they happen on the beat (or at the start of bars...). And it has scenes, so you can prepare and recall mute groups. And it has several ways of muting and cueing mutes. It's quite a thing."

CHAPTERS:
00:00 What it is and can do
02:21 Clocked Mutes!
03:10 Cueing Mutes
05:00 Mixing Signals
07:10 Mute Scenes
10:13 Solo Mutes

The Mute Performer takes the humble mute function into new and exciting territory.

8 channels of Mutes can be cued, locked, inverted, switched, mixed, stereo-paired, expanded, and arranged into scenes. Scenes can be saved, loaded, banked, clocked, triggered and modulated.

The Mute Performer also supports MIDI, which can be transmitted using a provided 5-pin MIDI Type A to 3.5mm cable.

This allows you to connect external MIDI devices to the Mute Performer, enabling performative control of mutes both inside and out your case.

The Mute Performer alone has 8 channels, but can be expanded up to 72 channels with the Mute Expanders.
