Voronoi is the ambient electronic project of the itinerant artist, writer, and electronic musician Richard B. Keys. With Voronoi Keys synthesises a range of influences spanning ambient music, noise, electro-acoustic, neo-classical, film music, and high definition sound design. Drawing inspiration from the Voronoi tessellation — an equation that is used to both model actual landscapes and at the same time to construct virtual ones — his productions employ hybrid sampling and synthesis techniques to weave irreal ambient soundscapes. His recently released Mountains & Rivers EP is available through sonorous circle. This mix was developed from a hastily constructed Spotify playlist that the artist put together in anticipation of flying internationally during the unfolding Covid-19 pandemic. The track list, which features some of my favourite recent ambient releases, was selected to promote a sense of calm to allay my fears of contagion and flying, while still acknowledging and playing with the sense of dislocation and the uncanny that was invoked by the experience of travelling internationally during the pandemic. The original playlist soundtrack my journey as I passed through heightened broader security, empty airport terminals, and boarded a sparsely populated plane flight, before coming to rest in a government quarantine facility upon arriving home. This mix is an extended version of that original playlist. Feat. recent work by Chris Zabriskie, r beny, and Ulla among others.
