Flow State - Ivan the Tolerable
Welcome back to Flow State. We share interesting instrumental music every weekday. The paid tier gets you the daily Spotify playlist, unlocks the Tuesday mix, and keeps us going. You can upgrade to paid here. Good morning. Today we’re listening to Ivan the Tolerable, the stage name of multi-instrumentalist and composer Oli Heffernan from Middlesbrough, UK. We discovered him via Janie Jones’ NTS show, a wellspring of “kraut, psych and other treats” in her words. Since 2012 Heffernan has put out mostly instrumental records as Ivan the Tolerable, influenced by artists like Can, Sun Ra, Neu!, The Necks, and many others.¹ We’re first playing Infinite Peace, which came out this past March, on which Heffernan is credited for “bass / guitar / synths / drones / shruti / electric piano / field recordings.” We’re also playing The Aleph from 2022 – yes Borges is the reference – which features Ben Hopkinson on sax and Thomas House on guitar. Infinite Peace - Ivan the Tolerable (80m, no vocals) The Aleph - Ivan the Tolerable (50m, no vocals) Have a tolerable Thursday.
