More Listening – Amy Cutler ~ Örö Tape: Fieldtrips of the Damned / Marina Rosenfeld & Ben Vida ~ Vertice — a closer listen

What is the purpose of recorded sound? As music lovers, we live and breathe it. But what is its raison d’être? Recordings transport us into distant places or timeframes. They prompt emotional and intellectual responses. The aural can complement visual and spatial arts. It can be raw material for further sonic explorations. Perhaps multi-disciplinary artists […]

REBLOG – CREATIVE LISTENING – A CLOSER LISTEN

SP* Episode 36: CREATIVE LISTENING – with C. Lavender [podcast]

C. Lavender is a sound artist, sound healing practitioner, educator, and author of Transcendent Waves: How Listening Shapes Our Creative Lives. She has worked with labels including Editions Mego, RVNG, Longform Editions, and most recently iDEAL, who have just released Rupture In The Eternal Realm, a sonic reinterpretation of a Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice. In this episode of the Sound Propositions podcast, we discuss the influence of Pauline Oliveros, how working as an educator led to writing Transcendent Waves, and the evolution of the relationship between her practice as a sound artist and sound healer. (Joseph Sannicandro)

I have known of C Lavender’s work for a number of years and posted past releases here and on other platforms. It’s always great when you watch peoples upward trajectory ( nothing to do with me).

Recommend the podcasts, not just this one, and thanks to ACL for still allowing me to repost and discover new sounds on a regular basis.

This led to tonight’s longlisten –

ambient, electronic ambient, deep listening, experimental, industrial, noise, synth

Absence makes the heart grow fonder may have become a hackneyed phrase over the years, but it acknowledges a poignant truth that is at the heart of a remote collaboration between sound artist & composer Başak Günak, aka Ah! Kosmos, and pianist/composer Büşra Kayıkçı. Distance magnifies the people and things you miss most is the […]

REBLOG – ACL – Hanna Svirska ~ Yangola

A swirling beauty with a dark underside. This is today’s listen thanks to A Closer Listen : )

postrockcafe's avatara closer listen

Vangola brings back pleasant memories of French label Prikosnovénie, in multiple aspects from Hanna Svirska‘s fairy tale aesthetic to Sana Shahmuradova’s folklorish cover art.  The project is released on Kyiv’s Standard Deviation, who also released last year’s superlative compilation From Ukraine, For Ukraine.  While Svirska was featured on that project (with an ambient version of “Inner”), Yangola is a showcase for her skills.  The EP tells a valuable story, a parable of encouragement to a people in crisis.

One of the most interesting press quotes is that the Ukrainian word yangola “stands for an imagined musical genre.”  The timbre is slippery, as the music has the feel of ambience, the narrative of folk and a vocal delivery that with Seréen touches on opera.  And then there’s that Aho Ssan remix, a left-field surprise that contributes tinges of drone and electronics.  Suffice it to say that the EP flows like…

Reblog – Kate NV ~ WOW — a closer listen

Thanks to A Closer Listen for todays escape from a drab Tuesday : )

pop, electronica, synthpop

Ridiculously happy, relentlessly upbeat, WOW is a sonic sugar rush, a candy-coated confection topped with syrup and sprinkles.  Kate NV‘s energy never seems to flag, nor does her creativity ease.  Breaking with previous recordings, her voice is diced, chopped and splattered; her prior guise as singer-songwriter is almost completely obliterated.  Whenever her words are discernible, they […]

REBLOG – SP* Episode 24: KAKAPHONY – with Maria Chavez [podcast] — a closer listen

Maria Chavez is a pioneer of Abstract Turntablism, a self-described practice she developed under the guidance of Pauline Oliveros‘ Deep Listening. Born in Lima, Peru and raised in Houston, she cut her teeth as a DJ spinning techno and drum & bass, but the male chauvinism of that scene roused her to experiment further with […]

Review Reblog – Şeb-i Yelda by R.A.N.

R.A.N. | Şeb-i Yelda just shows what can be done creatively with techno and for me, what a find.

Karlrecords (12″/DL)

Berlin-based Turkish artist Hüma Utku, better known as R.A.N. (short for Roads at Night) releases her first recording since 2015 with a four track 12″ EP, Şeb-i Yelda – and it opens with the title track. A disgorged drone roams freely, and its bloated mane crisscrosses through the entire sound space in bulky air-infused layers.  The atmosphere initially finds equity between the ambient and the industrial. Here and there its encrusted with a sparse cragged percussive effect until a beat is formed, and you suddenly start to experience why this is a crystal clear 12″ rather than another format. Utku adds something akin to a high-hat and other beat-adjacent rhythms, all the while a mysterious discord on traditional musics of the Middle East emerge, but done with restraint in the underbelly of an otherwise funky exterior.  The track concludes with something akin to…
