REBLOG -joan la barbara vocalizing the alphabet on sesame street in 1977

This is somewhat strange for me as I used to watch Sesame Street and always loved the songs (and Grover). I particularly remember the Ladybug Picnic,so when this came up on my reader I had to have a look and I remember this…Strange? Not Joan La Barbara, lets’ make that clear. It’s just all these years later I have finally discovered who created the wonderful vocal soundtrack to my early life…pretty cool.

My dear friend Koen just sent this to me, via our mutual friend Byron, in response to my post on Joan La Barbara. Thanks to them both. I have a palpable memory of the sequence, and particularly the sound, from childhood, but haven’t seen it since. It’s a wonderful fragment from a time when experimental music bled into the mainstream, and planted its seeds in us all.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

REVIEW REBLOG – Listen: ACRE TARN – ‘Dawn Faces’

Here is Todays Discovery – Acre Tarn and recommend listening to her Soundcloud page.

Notes On Sounds's avatarNOTES, ON SOUNDS....

Hailing from The Lake District, Anna-Louisa Ehterington began impressing with her dreampop tunes last year with ‘Flex’ and ‘Lanterns.’ As ACRE TARN she’s been leading anyone who’ll follow down a rabbit hole that leads to a synth wonderland that’s hypnotic but propulsive enough to still get you dancing.

Her latest track ‘Dawn Faces’ doesn’t deviate too much from that already winning formula, instead pairing beautiful melodies and flittering synths together like we’ve become accustomed to. Still, it’s definitely not a sign of ACRE TARN slowing down, as ‘Dawn Faces’ might be her most engaging single yet; that’s in part due to the ethereal chanting Etherington adds and the weighty drums that keep the featherweight instrumentation grounded. Perhaps if Robyn spent a year listening to only the Cocteau Twins you’d get something that sounds like this. But Etherington beat her to it.

Listen to ‘Dawn Faces’ below.

ARTICLE REBLOG – Digging Deep And Deeply Delian : Sounds Explained And Unexplained

Robin The Fog's avatarRobin The Fog

Crumbs, it’s been a busy couple of weeks. Let’s start the beginning with my report for BBC Radio 4’s The World Tonight on the recent Delia Derbyshire Day that took place at HOME, Manchester and that I was lucky enough to attend. Partly intended as an introduction to one of the great pioneers of the Radiophonic Workshop, much of the ground covered here will already be familiar to regular visitors to these pages; but listen closely and you’ll catch a couple of exclusive extracts from work that have lain unheard in Delia’s archive for decades! It’s a real privilege to be able to bring you even this small taster!

Part of my on-going commitment to keep the nation’s airwaves just that little bit Radiophonic, this report also went out on The World Service a few days later and was posted on The Today Programme’s Facebook page; all of which has hopefully helped to continue the festival’s…

REBLOG – Premiere: Tamara Filyavich ~ return fire

Courtesy to A Closer Listen for the reblog. Recommend a listen to this piece especially in relation to the subject matter. Proof noise can have meaning.

Joseph Sannicandro's avatara closer listen

A CLOSER LISTEN is honored to present the online premiere of Tamara Filyavich’s return fire.

Tamara Filyavich presents return fire, a soundscape of analogue synthesizer, radio transmission and digital manipulation channeling the events of the Ukrainian revolution of 2013-2014. Filyavich has lived in Montreal for the past 20 years, after she and her family left the town on Yalta in the occupied Ukraine.  return fire is a reflection on childhood memories filtered through contemporary political struggles for social justice and free expression on the streets. This piece also includes variations on the Ukrainian choral piece “Plyve Kacha,” an  old Ukrainian folk song which was given new meaning after being played on Kiev’s central square during the funeral for slain opposition fighters in 2014.

She works as Arts and Culture Coordinator at CKUT radio 90.3 fm, Montreal’s community radio station, where she also co-hosts Radio is Dead?, a show…

REVIEW REBLOG – Mila Severtseva – Resistance

Here is Todays Discovery of glitchy beat based electronics, care of Yeah I Know it Sucks.

kainobuko's avatarYeah I Know It Sucks

a2276255431_161
artist: Mila Severtseva
title: Resistance
keywords: glitch, experimental, electronic, avantgarde, beats,
label: Wrieuw Recordings http://wrieuwrecordings.bandcamp.com/

Mila is a mixed media based in Saint Petersburg in Russia. I first came across her work via this great website called Far From Moscow which is well worth checking out. Anyway, at that point she was writing music as diu pii and it was excellent bare bones almost tribal sketches of electronica goodness. I got in touch to ask if she wanted to do a split release on floppy disk, which fortunately for me, she did. One thing Mila does very well is often very chaotic and colourful works of art, I find these very appealing, she did the awesome artwork for our release and has since done the same for releases with Liminal Noise Tapes and Effluvia Recordings.

Anyway, I am very pleased to present her EP “resistance” released under her own…

The first annual Sounding Board sound exhibit was held at The Companion Gallery in Austin, Texas on December 3 – 6, 2015, as part of the 60th anniversary meeting of the Society of Ethnomusicology (SEM). In the promotional literature for the show, the curator, Leonardo Cardoso (Texas A&M), described its objective: to give students, ethnographers, ethnomusicologists, and any “sound-minded” people an opportunity to share research and contemplate fieldwork from different perspectives. Cardoso hoped that SEMSoundingBoard would “stimulate dialogue between ethnomusicology and other fields, especially sound studies, sound art, ecomusicology, anthropology, and media studies.” He also sought to facilitate interaction between the local community in Austin and SEM scholars who traveled to attend the conference.
