First of all, happy World Listening Day !

I didn’t have much time this year to submit anything to the Sonic-Terrain W.L.D. compilation. So, instead I will share this very simple yet magical underwater sound, recorded at the coral reef of the East China Sea off Ishigaki island, Japan.

The recorder was on while no one was on the boat, and everyone was pretty far from it. There is not much happening beside those sporadic sounds from the anchor and divers (which I can’t understand how got picked up since we were pretty far from the hydrophone). However, this constant 12 inch vinyl like cracking sound brings me so much joy and peace that I can’t explain. Does it remind me of those sounds I heard in the womb? Is it my personal memory of the calm feeling I experience underwater? I really don’t know. The fact is I really enjoy it. Like the spinning forgotten…

Looking forward to this tonight at 8pm: https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/cordyceps-is-your-friend-july-2015

Sonic seeds and spores from thunderous electronic artist Petrels – presenting the London debut of the full 5-piece Petrels band line-up following the release of new album ‘Flailing Tomb’; extraordinary and otherworldly noise duo Conspirators of Pleasure – aka Simon Underwood (founder member of The Pop Group) and Poulomi Desai (ex Dead Jalebies); CIYF favourite Laid Eyes, presenting the premiere screening of new film ‘I Want In But I Don’t Know To What’; enthralling quartet performance from müllZimmer’s Jonas Gustafsson (percussion) and Lia Mazzari (cello), with Clay Gold (electric bass) and Florian Zeisig (percussion); plus Tartaruga DJing throughout and till late.

The Brooklyn-based composer Julianna Barwick has firmly established herself as truly one of the most wholly unique artists making music today. Barwick has released three LPs to date: ‘Sanguine’, her 2006 self-released debut full length; ‘The Magic Place’ (Asthmatic Kitty, 2011) and ‘Nepenthe’ (Dead Oceans, 2013). Barwick has also recorded as a duo (alongside fellow Asthmatic Kitty artist Helado Negro) under the OMBRE guise; the stunning collaboration has thus far resulted in debut LP ‘Believe You Me’ (Asthmatic Kitty, 2012). Born in Louisianna and raised in Missouri, Barwick’s love for music stemmed from her participation in school choirs during her formative years. Current LP ‘Nepenthe’ (in Greek literature ‘nepenthe’ was a magic drug to wipe out grief and sorrow) was recorded in Reykjavík and features contributions from some of Iceland’s most treasured artists (Amiina, múm guitarist Robert Reynisson and producer Alex Somers).
