Episode 165 Chapter 25, Electronic Music from Japan, China, and The Asia-Pacific, Part 2. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings.

Rachel Eckroth and John Hadfield are wonderfully inventive musicians who have formed a duo. This podcast episode is shining a light on their recently released album “Speaking in Tongues”and you'll hear some of this textured and dynamic music that really pushes the boundaries of a duo, along with insights into their creative process and their varied career paths. John Hadfield is a phenomenal percussionist, drummer, and composer, for many years based in New York and now based in Paris. He's collaborated on over 100 recordings including Grammy-award winning albums. He talked to me about performing with Kenny Werner, with Yo-Yo Ma and the Silkroad Ensemble, as well as John's Paris Quartet. Rachel Eckroth was nominated for a GRAMMY for her album “The Garden” and she is very active as a keyboardist, vocalist, composer, producer and arranger. She tours currently with St. Vincent, and she talked to me about her keyboards, and some of her formative experiences. Both Rachel and John love to explore new sound colours both acoustically and with electronic instruments and this album is a powerful, inventive and immersive listening experience. You'll find this project linked in the show notes, and hopefully some of you can attend their live shows on one of their tours.

This mix flows effortlessly through ambient, dub techno, IDM, and deep techno, creating an immersive journey that moves from atmospheric and introspective to hypnotic and rhythmic. It starts with Pablo Bolivar, setting a warm and deep tone, before Loscil adds lush ambient textures. Rod Modell & Taka Noda introduce deep, dubby rhythms, leading smoothly into 4T Thieves, whose intricate electronica adds a nostalgic, melodic touch. The Orb keeps things dreamy and expansive before The Black Dog shifts the energy with layered, cerebral techno. From here, the mix moves into more abstract and atmospheric territory—Markus Guentner brings wide, evolving ambient washes, Alva Noto strips things back to precise, minimal sound design, and Tristan Arp introduces more organic, experimental rhythms. Heathered Pearls and VC-118A add deep, rolling electro grooves, paving the way for Slam and Shed, who take things into gentle ambient techno. Krill.Minima's Gamelan stands out with its shimmering, intricate percussion, offering a hypnotic, otherworldly moment before Legiac brings things full circle with textured, layered IDM. Finally, the mix closes with 4T Thieves – Ravens Cottage, a deep, reflective ending that ties everything together with a hazy, atmospheric glow. This set is a seamless blend of ambient, electro, and techno, perfect for deep listening, late-night sessions, or just letting the sound take you somewhere else.

Anthony Brandt is an acclaimed composer who is also a multi-disciplinary researcher. Dr. Brandt is a Professor at Rice University and co-founder and Artistic Director of Musiqa. Like many people worldwide, I had first learned of his work as co-author with neuroscientist David Eagleman, of the amazing book “The Runaway Species: How Human Creativity Remakes the World”. We started this episode with an overview of that book, and Tony's passion for the importance of encouraging creativity at all stages of life comes through in our discussion of his research, compositions, teaching and mentoring. You'll hear about how he and other researchers are using mobile brain body imaging, and how research into the arts are so important to the development of neuroscience. You'll learn about his unique childhood, his mentors and approach to composing and teaching composition, his valuable insights on presenting new music and how integrating art forms can help to connect with audiences. We're also shining a light on his recent album of string quartet music Meeting of Minds and LiveWire which are both collaborations with the NobleMotion Dance Company and the University of Houston Brain Center. Central to this episode is the importance of creativity, and different ways to investigate and explore that. Like all my episodes, you can also watch this on my YouTube channel, and I've also linked the transcript, everything linked here Anthony Brandt website Meeting of Minds Scene 9 video It's a joy to be able to bring these meaningful conversations to you, but this project costs me quite a bit of money and lots of time; please support this series through either my merchandise store or on my Ko-fi page.

Joss Jaffe & Jim “Kimo" West share stories and songs off their new album, Santhi. Grammy-winning, acclaimed slack key guitarist Jim “Kimo” West, the longtime guitarist in “Weird Al” Yankovic's band, and world percussionist/instrumentalist Joss Jaffe introduce their new unique global fusion album Santhi. Inspired by the spirituality and natural splendor of the famed Indonesian island of Bali, Santhi's Sanskrit title means “peaceful in spiritual and physical happiness”. Listen to Santhi: https://ingrv.es/santhi-u1d-e Having never even seen Waikiki, JIM “KIMO” WEST came right to the tiny village of Hana, Maui in 1985 and spent much of his time there for many years. It was in Hana where he first heard the music of Gabby Pahinui, Sons of Hawaii, Sonny Chillingworth, and Atta Isaacs. Already familiar with alternate tunings, the sound of ki ho'alu became rooted deep in his musical landscape. Kimo is regarded as one of the world's foremost “ki ho'alu” or Hawaiian “slack key” guitar artists and his music has garnered over seventy-five million spins on streaming services. He is a 2021 Grammy Winner for his recent CD, “More Guitar Stories” and a 2019 Grammy nominee for “Moku Maluhia-Peaceful Island”. He is also a 2008 winner of the Hawaii Music Awards and four-time Na Hoku Hanohano (the Hawaiian ‘Grammy') nominee. He is also a two-time winner of the LA Treasures Award for his efforts in keeping this important acoustic guitar tradition alive. This warm and engaging fingerpicked guitar style has its roots in 1840's Hawaii, when Mexican vaqueros first brought guitars to the Big Island of Hawaii. If you saw the Oscar-winning film, “The Decendants” you have experienced this great acoustic guitar tradition. Kimo is a veteran of Hawaii's famed slack key festivals as well as the So Cal Slack Key Festival every year from 2008 through 2018. He has shared the stage with almost all the world's top slack key players at one time or another. His numerous CDs feature many original compositions as well as inventive arrangements of the genres' classic repertoire. His seventh CD, “Guitar Stories” goes beyond slack key, exploring other genres like West African guitar, Middle Eastern Music, and Americana. “Slackers In Paradise” features duets with slack and steel guitar legend, Ken Emerson, and his latest CD, “Moku Maluhia-Peaceful Island” is a mix of “nahenahe” or very relaxing compositions. For his work as long-time guitarist with “Weird Al,” he has earned four Grammy's and a Billboard #1 CD debut for 2015's “Mandatory Fun.” Kimo has also worked as a composer for film and TV for many years and maintains a sophisticated private studio in Los Angeles. He has composed music for features films, network TV shows and specials and cable shows. His slack key compositions have been used in many feature films, TV spots, and documentaries. JOSS JAFFE is a world musician known for his unique blend of musical influences and genres. Born in Santa Barbara, Jaffe took an early interest in music, learning guitar, piano, drums, and tabla as a child. After high school, he attended UC Berkeley, honing his skills in composition and improvisation and as a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist in ensembles of African, Gamelan, and Middle Eastern music. Music. His music ranges from modern pop and reggae to soothing, brainwave-entraining compositions for relaxation, yoga, and meditation. Today, Jaffe continues to pioneer pushing musical boundaries with his experimental recordings and live performances. His leadership of his band at premiere yoga conferences and transformational festivals is a testament to his influence. Jaffe';s founding of the record label Artizen, which serves as a platform for dynamic cross-cultural collaborations with talented musicians worldwide, underscores his role as a bridge-builder in the music industry.

Donald Macleod explores the life and music of American composer, Lou Harrison Lou Silver Harrison was an American, multi-faceted composer who died in 2003. In his music he explored a synthesis of Asian and Western influences, just intonation, and writing for percussion ensemble. He also involved himself in the arts as a performer, dancer, instrument maker, critic, puppeteer, poet, painter and much more. Harrison's interest in Asian cultures began when he was very young, and remained a significant influence on his work for the rest of his life He enjoyed working with Gamelan percussion and instruments from Korea or China. With his partner William Colvig, Harrison also made his own instruments including an American Gamelan, for which he composed multiple works. Harrison took lessons with Henry Cowell and Arnold Schoenberg, and also collaborated with John Cage in exploring the possibilities of percussion ensembles. His career as a composer developed in the world of dance and theatre, supplementing his income as a critic and, later, as a teacher.Music Featured: The Heart Sutra (Tial, Sariputro, ciuj Darmoj) Waltz in C (New York Waltzes) First Concerto for Flute and Percussion Suite for Symphonic Strings (excerpt) Largo Ostinato Prelude for Grandpiano John Cage & Lou Harrison: Double Music Blaze of Day (Finale: Solstice) Piano Sonata No 3 (excerpt) Symphony No 2 “Elegiac” (excerpt) Hesitation Waltz (New York Waltzes) Waltz in A (New York Waltzes) Suite No 2 The Marriage at the Eiffel Tower (Overture) The Only Jealousy of Emer (excerpt) Suite for Cello and Harp Beverly's Troubadour Piece, for harp and percussion Suite for Symphonic Strings (Nocturne) Four Strict Songs (Here is Holiness) Concerto in slendro Pacifika Rondo (excerpt) Easter Cantata A Waltz for Evelyn Hinrichsen Music for Bill and Me Young Caesar (excerpts) Suite for violin and American Gamelan (excerpt) Double Concerto for Javanese gamelan, violin and cello (excerpt) Third Symphony (Largo ostinato) Piano Concerto with selected orchestra (excerpt) O you whom I often and silently come where you are Grand Duo (Polka) Fourth Symphony ‘Last Symphony' (Largo) Vestiunt Silve Pipa Concerto Mass to St Anthony (Gloria)Presented by Donald Macleod Produced by Luke Whitlock for BBC Audio Wales and WestFor full track listings, including artist and recording details, and to listen to the pieces featured in full (for 30 days after broadcast) head to the series page for Lou Harrison (1917-2003) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00209q6 And you can delve into the A-Z of all the composers we've featured on Composer of the Week here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3cjHdZlXwL7W41XGB77X3S0/composers-a-to-z
In November 2023, a unique event occured. Eight gamelan groups - Gamelan DanAnda, Kacapi Suling Melbourne, Mahindra Bali Gamelan, Melbourne Community Gamelan, Mugi Rahayu, Putra Panji Asmara, Talo Balak, Selonding Sapta Nugraha - came together to perform at a small church in Northcote, a suburb in North Melbourne. The gathering was dedicated to the memory of Pak Poedijono, a master Javanese dhalang (puppeteer), musician, dancer and gamelan teacher. He taught in Australia for over 45 years and sadly passed away on the 30th of January 2021. In this episode of Talking Indonesia, Tito Ambyo chats with the people who organised this gathering: John Cheong-Holdaway, an Australian gamelan musician; Eka Poedijono, daughter of the late Pak Poedijono; and Jocelyn Tribe, a biracial artist who connected with her Indonesian ancestry later in life.
