Pattern Zero Pattern Zero are a Berlin-based independent record label focussed on Techno and Dub Techno solo projects and collaborations. The label was founded by Alex Leonard and Erik Levander.

May I share pattern-zero.bandcamp.com

A little collaboration label with my friend Erik Levander. Subaqual is on the dub techno side of things. Perhaps Muted Opponent could be classed as deep techno? Paracitizen (that's Erik solo) also deep?

All available on streaming too

Sunny Oleander A beautiful tree full of gorgeous yellow flowers caught my eye in Mallorca on our recent return trip there to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. A cheery sight for a Friday 😊 Happy #bloomscrolling. Buy Print

Doors Adorned A summer's climber growth sprawling across the flat roof of these alleyway storage units makes the whole scene seem much more appealing and softer than it would have been with just deteriorating whitewashed breeze blocks. I wonder what's behind door number 1?! Spotted in a small shortcut alleyway near the centre of PΕ‚ock in Poland. Buy Print

By the end of the summer I would catch myself unconsciously singing along to the tape, in Thai.

I do not speak Thai.

Ouch, that is very hard to take and would definitely drive me demented.

Closest thing I had was working at a Thai restaurant for a summer in the 90s. They had one tape of Thai music which just played on loop, always. Long enough to not repeat during the average sitting, short enough to drive me πŸ€ͺ

Great Cormorant II As we rowed across Jelenin lake we noticed this beautiful Great Cormorant sitting on a dead tree branch at the lake's edge. It didn't seem too concerned by our presence but we made sure not to go too close. We spent quite a few peaceful minutes with the boat just drifting watching it just hang out. Buy Print

Green Jaguar At the rear entrance to Weißer See in Berlin is a statue of a jaguar (I guess?) that regularly seems to receive fresh coats of paint. Not sure if it's graffiti or what, but it was certainly eye catching all lit up on a rare sunny January afternoon. Buy Print

Reflected Abstract A warped mirror sculpture in a gallery in Mallorca gave me my own personal show as I zoomed in close with a 25x optical zoom. Small movements or rotating perspective would result in some other artwork or part of the gallery's interior being reflected and warped in the mirror. Instantaneous painting remixes 😁 Buy Print

This Way Up II Another photo from the wonderful Cuevas del Drach - and one where I had to look twice to make sure I hadn't actually flipped the image upside down. It can be hard to differentiate between a stalagmite and stalactite at a glance if you don't know whether the photo has been rotated or not. Fairly sure this is the right way up though 😊 Buy Print

Vivid Red Dahlia This may not be as large as some of the other Dahlia I've captured, but it's not short of impact thanks to that vivacious and rich red colouring. So much detail in all the petals and the central florets, which contrasts nicely against the blurred background. Happy Bloomscrolling! Buy Print

Clouds over Gleisdreieck Somewhat foreboding clouds gather low over Gleisdreieck S-Bahn station. I'd always found this name curious as I knew what the words meant separately. Gleis is a platform, drei is the number three, and eck is corner. Three Platform Corner? Silly me - Dreieck is a triangle! Apparently it used to be a meeting point of three lines, but after a major accident they changed the configuration but it seems the name stayed. Buy Print

I did a rough calculation once after I released Mutable, a 6 track album. For me to earn as much from someone streaming as someone who bought a CD, the streaming listener would need to play the album in full 300 times...

That said, I'm not sure that encouraging torrenting is the solution either 😁

Clockwork Blue Cogs and the intricate workings of machinery were continuously revealed in this video projection installation as part of Berlin's Festival of Lights. Our perspective kept us moving towards the ever-distant centre, as marvels zoomed past us on the screen, cogs ticking and keeping everything running smoothly. Buy Print

And very interesting to place the extractor fan one floor above the two hot-plate sinks.

Right beside the bed, or is it a couch?

Raw White Noise The cacophony of crashing waves can seem so loud and all encompassing when you're near it. Just think of all those water molecules being thrown around so turbulently- all that thrashing disturbing the surrounding air molecules - an enormous transfer of energy - ultimately creating a wave of sound that spreads out and eventually reaches your ear - and there's so much going on that it ends up sounding just like white noise&hellip;
