Monument Podcast

Fresh off the release of her excellent debut album ‘Percussive reverie’, we welcome Aerae for MNMT 462. Aerae's music is shaped by the organic and unpredictable forces of the natural world. In the hands of the rising French artist, techno, downtempo and drum & bass are molded into unrecognizable forms, where evolving textures lock into enveloping and ritualistic grooves. Tune in now for a deep trip diving into the psychedelic pulse of Aerae's sound. As the mix descends into the abyss of sonic sorcery and tribalistic hypnotism, you just might lose yourself, or your grip on reality - but for a mix this good it’s a price worth paying.

Mariachiara Troianiello, the Italian sound artist behind the moniker Katatonic Silentio, works at the crossroads of electronic music, performing arts and sound studies. Active as a DJ for more than 15 years, her sets adopt multiple forms, fluctuating between an analogue past and a technological, fast-paced future. At times, her sets focus on pure abstraction, consisting of ethereal soundscapes that seek to transcend the tangible through a mix of musique concrète, world, spoken word, ambient or dub. At others, they come across as concrete and club-oriented, crossing techno, broken beats or drum'n'bass. For MNMT 457, Katatonic Silentio presents this exceptional mix that intricately evolves with subtle and nuanced layers into a delicate yet mind-bending trip of unconventional rhythms and textures.

After the pandemic, I felt a bit unmoored. Spending time in Australia distanced me from the European scene, and I found myself feeling quite lost. Once I returned, I initially focused on Techno, but soon realized my true foundation has always been experimental music and narrative-driven performances—whether in my own productions, live sets, or DJ sets. I’m grateful to have rediscovered my creative center, and I’m excited to share this next chapter. I’m fully back, with more jungle and ambient experimental releases on the way! Thanks for your support, love always x ” Follow https://soundcloud.com/nadiastruiwigh https://www.instagram.com/nadiastruiwigh https://www.facebook.com/NadiaStruiwigh/

“The mix was recorded in Melbourne a few days after my experience at Diega, a beautiful outdoor festival, or bush "doof" as Australians call them. The mix is essentially resuming a day in a doof.

I want to dedicate this work to the people I spent time with during the last two months I've been touring, in Australia and Asia!” Severja is a multi-disciplinary artist, DJ and founder of the legendary Midgar records.

As we turn the page to 2025, we find ourselves reflecting on the powerful moments that defined the Monument Festival last year. One such memory was the opening ceremony led by the incredible Sarah Wreath. A sonic experience that set the tone for connection, introspection, and renewal. The intention behind Sarah’s live set was clear: to create a meditative space where festivalgoers could connect deeply—with one another, the natural surroundings of Veggli, and, most importantly, with themselves. It was more than music; it was an invitation to embark on a transformative journey, bridging ancient and modern worlds through sound. Her performance blended electronic synthesis with acoustic elements, weaving together indigenous, ethereal, and psychedelic sounds. The result was a hypnotic tapestry of tribal ambient rhythms, designed to ground us in the moment while opening our hearts to new possibilities. Central to the experience was the use of pure tones tuned to 432 Hz and 216 Hz, frequencies known for their cosmic harmony and healing properties: 432 Hz, often called “natural tuning,” resonated with the rhythm of the universe, fostering relaxation and emotional balance. 216 Hz, a harmonic counterpart, enhanced the meditative quality of the performance, drawing listeners deeper into themselves. A standout element of the ceremony was Sarah’s use of a Chao Gong, amplified with a contact microphone and enriched with FX processing. Its deep bass frequencies (110 Hz) created a grounding effect, while layers of Tibetan singing bowls and other meditative instruments brought a celestial dimension to the soundscapes. Together, these elements formed a sonic portal—a sacred opening to the festival and the year ahead. As we welcome 2025, we hold this memory as a symbol of renewal and intention. Sarah’s performance wasn’t just the beginning of the festival, it was a new beginning for all of us, a reminder of the power of music to heal, connect, and inspire. Here’s to carrying that spirit of harmony and connection forward into the new year. May 2025 bring even more moments that resonate with the heart and soul.
