Discovered this little gem on Fractal Meat with a Spongy Bone : )
This weeks Sunday Mix is loosely based on the REVEIL / Soundcamp / Dawn Chorus this weekend (03/05/15) and has the theme Forests
Let us go now into the forest.
Trees will pass by your face,
and I will stop and offer you to them,
but they cannot bend down.
The night watches over its creatures,
except for the pine trees that never change:
the old wounded springs that spring
blessed gum, eternal afternoons.
If they could, the trees would lift you
and carry you from valley to valley,
and you would pass from arm to arm,
a child running
from father to father.
Pine Forest by Gabriela Mistral
“The forest is a peculiar organism of unlimited kindness and benevolence that makes no demands for its sustenance and extends generously the products of its life and activity; it affords protection to all beings.
– Buddhist Sutra
“In some mysterious way woods have never seemed to me to be static things. In physical terms, I move through them; yet in metaphysical ones, they seem to move through me.”
– John Fowles
Missed this but I have checked and you can still listen to the show on NTS and here is the link for FRACTAL MEAT ON A SPONGY BONE http://www.ntsradio.co.uk/shows/fractalmeat/
Studio guest on Friday 20th MArch will be Liz Helman: tune into NTS from 8am to 10am.
Liz Helman is a London-based artist and independent curator working across different media, including photography, video and sound. Manipulating her own recorded and found sound, she constructs atmospheric sound pieces, and in all her time-based media works, she explores the psychological and emotional attachment to place and dwelling. Journeying between recollection and reality, she challenges format driven orthodoxies, fragmenting and layering image and sound to consider the experience of dislocation and displacement.
The Syrphe site is a treasure trove of wonderful electronic and experimental music and soundscapes from mainly Africa and Asia and was spotlighted by @reaktorplayer on Twitter. I thought that I would take some time this month and through May, to discover for myself and bring you some gems of female artists that are producing creative electronic music from these areas of the world, beginning with Litter aka Elyse Tabet an audio-visual artist based in Beirut, Lebanon. As Syrphe says – “In her first album, omnipresent is the image of a machine running out of power while passing through a stream of hazy, often almost melodic sonic landscapes.”

Many thanks to A Closer Listen for pointing me in the right direction
