Track of the week 3: Susanne Sundfor – Fade Away
Here’s the second track care of Sadwoofer and great one too for a Monday morning.
Κατά ένα περίεργο λόγο ακούγοντας ξανά και ξανά το “Fade away”, το νέο single της Susanne Sundfor, μου ήρθαν έντονα εικόνες και μνήμες από τα τέλη των 8o’s και την ανέμελη αθωότητα που τα χαρακτήριζε. Αυτή λοιπόν είναι η Νορβηγίδα που πολλοί έμαθαν πέρυσι όταν και συνεργάστηκε με τους Royksopp στο “Running to the sea”. Ωραία φωνή με κλασσικές pop επιρροές αλλά όχι τόσο 80’s όσο ακούγεται στο σημερινό “Track of the week”. Το τραγούδι αυτό είναι το πρώτο δείγμα από τον επερχόμενο δίσκο της με τίτλο “Ten love songs” που θα κυκλοφορήσει τον επόμενο μήνα.
Fresh: Ακούστε ολόκληρο το tribute-album των Marsheaux στους Depeche Mode
My Greek is zero but thanks to Sadwoofer for pointing me towards this duo. Giving them a good listen to on SoundCloud.
Οι Marsheaux ποτέ δεν δίστασαν στο παρελθόν να διασκευάσουν αγαπημένα τους τραγούδια κυρίως από τα 80΄s. Το έκαναν μάλιστα και με ιδιαίτερη επιτυχία όπως στο “The promise” των When in Rome ή πολύ περισσότερο στο κλασσικό “Pop corn”, το τραγούδι με το οποίο γνώρισαν μεγάλη επιτυχία.
Αυτή τη φορά αποφάσισαν να κάνουν ένα πιο παράτολμο εγχείρημα και να αποδώσουν φόρο τιμής στο μεγαλύτερο συγκρότημα ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής και μια από τις κύριες επιρροές τους: τους Depeche Mode φυσικά.
Διασκεύασαν λοιπόν ολόκληρο το “A broken frame”, το δεύτερο album των DM από το 1982. Θα κυκλοφορήσει στις 23 Φεβρουαρίου, πρώτα σε κόπιες κίτρινου βινυλίου και έπειτα σε cd, πάντα από την Undo Records.
Εδώ μπορείτε να ακούσετε ολόκληρο το “A broken frame”:

NTCR Interview N°3 // Maria Chavez

Ora 19 : Against Interpretation : 26 February
Ora 19 : Against Interpretation
Daniela Cascella and Salomé Voegelin
26 February 2015

Resonance104.4fm
In Against Interpretation Daniela Cascella and Salomé Voegelin borrow the title from Susan Sontag’s groundbreaking 1964 essay to read, play and perform a number of texts and sounds in close sequence and then start a conversation. Mike Kelley with Sonic Youth’s Plato’s Cave, Rothko’s Chapel, Lincoln’s Profile performance and an excerpt from Coil’s The Angelic Conversation featuring one of Shakespeare’s Sonnets are juxtaposed with words by Georges Bataille and Clarice Lispector, not to interpret according to given rules or expectations, but to offer a plurality of openings and possibilities into listening to sound and writing after sound.
Finding My Voice While Listening to John Cage
As with the whole of this series very interesting and well worth reading all the articles.
Editor’s Note: Today I bring you installment #4 of Sounding Out!‘s blog forum on gender and voice! Last week Regina Bradley put the soundtrack of Scandal in conversation with race and gender. The week before I talked about what it meant to have people call me, a woman of color, “loud.” That post was preceded by Christine Ehrick‘s selections from her forthcoming book, on the gendered soundscape. We have two more left! In the next few weeks we’ll have A.O. Roberts with synthesized voices and gender, and lastly Robin James with an analysis of how ideas of what women should sound like have roots in Greek philosophy.
This week guest writer and professor Art Blake shares with us a personal essay. He talks about how his experience shifting his voice from feminine to masculine as a transgender man intersects with his work on John Cage. So, lean in…
