“Making Waves is a monthly series of curated playlists streaming one hour of quality, new composed music. Founded in 2015, Making Waves shines a spotlight on the music of Australian composers. Fresh playlists are released on the first day of each month and older playlists are made available all year round via our archives; perfect for those with just a few minutes to explore one track or for hours perusing a myriad of diverse sound-worlds.”

Not solely electronic. Much is Classical music and / electroacoustic but increasingly there are electronic elements in the compositions and a great introduction to Australian composers. Really recommend listening to the beautifully presented playlists.

AN ALBUM A DAY

This is not totally different for me but last month I accepted the challenge, like many others, to listen to and write short notes on an album a day during February 2016. I thought I would post up these here as part of my Todays Discovery theme.

Not in any order of preference here are the first 5 –

GROUPER – RUINS

Beautiful Introspection…


VALENTINA VILLARROEL – ALKUN

Rhythmic electroacoustic / field recordings with a sense of place and culture.


KLARA LEWIS – ETT

Glitch DJing disparate sounds into a cohesive soundscape


ARS SONOR – TRANSIENT / ETERNAL

Awakening drone…Space with a barbed wire edge


SEA CHANGE – BREAKAGE

One to watch in 2016 –

TODAYS DISCOVERY / SOUNDCLOUD SPOTLIGHT – FETTER

Jessica Tucker (1989, USA), aka FETTER, is an Amsterdam-based multimedia artist, musician, and producer. With her intimate and layered vocal/electronic music, together with her surreal and playfully strange animation videos and poetry, Tucker’s work expresses a kind of optimistic melancholy. In her recent installation work she deals with themes such as narcissism, insecurity, and the concept of ‘maintaining potential.’ In the past Tucker has also explored through sound, video, installation, and performance, topics such as the paradoxical simultaneity of presence and absence in distanced forms of self-expression, the vulnerability and power of the voice, and the human tendency to conceptualize ‘self’ in terms of abstract spatial relations.

THE FIELD RECORDIST – A PERSONAL VIEW

This is a real gem and a great introduction and personal view, based on 45 years of experience on Field Recording practice. It also seems that there are crossover difficulties experienced that I have had in creating music such as data storage and recording failures. I recommend that you do listen through headphones as the field recordings really come to life.

I’m glad I did.
