Podcasts about Harold Budd

Episode 178 Chapter 37, Contemporary Software and Synthesis. 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. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast.

Consider, gentle listener, the chordophone family of musical instruments. It's a large, diverse brood including almost anything with stretched strings: zithers, lyres, harps, lutes, guitars, the violin family, hundreds of ethnic string instruments like the Japanese koto and the African kora, and not least — keyed zithers like the harpsichord and the piano. Chordophones can be plucked, strummed, bowed, keyed, or struck. Looking back in time, zithers, lyres and harps were the foundational instruments of the chordophone family. They were used in antiquity to accompany recitations and promote healing. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we ride the soft strings of the harp and zither to a place close to silence, on a program called 'CHORDOPHONICS.' Music is by PETER STERLING, HARP 46, LYSA LYNNE, DA WO's, HAROLD BUDD, CYMBER LILY QUINN, KLAUS WIESE, and LARAAJI. [ view playlist ] [ view Flickr image gallery ] [ play 30 second MP3 promo ]

Look, I gotta tell you right up front, I don’t know much about this track, Anatomy of Melancholy, except that it’s strikingly beautiful, sounds like a lost Harold Budd composition and has a strange and questionable provenance. Through some research I learned that it came from a long out-of-business shop in Boston called Gargoyles, Grotesques…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #125 – Anatomy of Melancholy

  I've been listening to the music of Rafael Anton Irisarri for a long time. The oldest album of his that I have is 2007's Daydreaming. I'm listening to it as I type this and wow, I'd forgotten how excellent it is. His music has changed a bit since then - now using drones, symphonic washes, tape loops, layers of distortion and "bleached out textures." So I was excited when he offered to do a guest mix. Um, yes please! This mix is everything that I love about guest mixes because it takes twists and turns that I normally do not so it kept me engaged to whole way through. Here's what Rafael has to say about this set: "I crafted this mix as Spring gently dissolves into Summer, drawing inspiration from perennial favorites like Arvo Pärt and Harold Budd. It features the work of many dear friends and colleagues such as Sylvain Chauveau and Federico Durand, as well as some favorite tracks I've mastered at my Black Knoll Studio in New York. This includes pieces from William Basinski, Eluvium, Michael Muller, and Julia Kent, along with contributions from Grand River, Animated Matter (Hannah Elizabeth Cox), Concepción Huerta, Christina Giannone, Pepo Galán, and Karen Vogt. Adding a personal touch, I've included a piece from my latest album, released on my newly minted Black Knoll Editions, in collaboration with the esteemed Italian producer Abul Mogard. There's also a special collaborative piece I created with the brilliant Julianna Barwick a couple of years ago. Hope you enjoy!  Looking forward to playing some shows this summer, starting in Italy on July 7th with Abul Mogard in Rome at Halfdie Festival, then later on September 14 at Ametric Festival in Chania, Greece. Stay tuned for more announcements by following on Instagram @blackknoll or at www.irisarri.org."   Thanks Rafael for this amazing mix!   Here are links to all the music used in this mix: https://ghostly.bandcamp.com/album/thousands-of-eyes-in-the-dark https://animated-matter.bandcamp.com/album/selkie https://federicodurand.bandcamp.com/album/flor-imaginaria https://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Atmospheres-Soundtracks-Brian-Eno/dp/B000003S1E https://beaconsound.bandcamp.com/album/lower-river-reworks https://williambasinski.bandcamp.com/album/on-reflection https://abulmogard.bandcamp.com/album/impossibly-distant-impossibly-close https://ecmrecords.com/product/arvo-part-tabula-rasa-gidon-kremer-keith-jarrett-tatjana-grindenko-alfred-schnittke-the-12-cellists-of-the-berlin-philharmonic-orchestra-staatsorchester-stuttgart-dennis-russell-davies-lithuan/ https://sylvainchauveau.bandcamp.com/album/un-autre-d-cembre https://eluvium.bandcamp.com/album/whirring-marvels-in-consensus-reality https://headphonecommute.bandcamp.com/album/for-ukraine-volume-2 https://www.amazon.com/Lovely-thunder-HAROLD-BUDD/dp/B00004XNLZ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3SE3RKREFK46O&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.lEh9qetRmaBVCr72TtjwA5RjuHqSmI-OmCaB1sChoxY._GCIjpRo_wRaKREhIt1SrdMNfgMKbTh7Ieu0Nd27hxI&dib_tag=se&keywords=Harold+Budd+-+Lovely+Thunder&qid=1718556861&sprefix=harold+budd+-+lovely+thunder%2Caps%2C300&sr=8-1 https://facture.bandcamp.com/album/family-harmony https://concepcionhuerta.bandcamp.com/album/harmonies-from-betelgeuse https://pitp.bandcamp.com/album/glazed-vision   Cheers!     T R A C K L I S T : 00:00   Grand River - This Was Us (VA: Thousands of Eyes in the Dark, 2019) 01:53   Animated Matter - Follow (Selkie, 2021) 04:28   Federico Durand - Flor Imaginaria (Flor Imaginaria, 2020) 06:41   Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, and Roger Eno - Signals (Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks, 1983) 08:16   Michael Muller - Glyph II (Julia Kent Rework) (Lower River Reworks, 2020) 12:52   William Basinski & Janek Schaefer  . . . on reflection (four) (“ . . . on reflection “, 2022) 15:12   Abul Mogard & Rafael Anton Irisarri - Place of Forever (AM Radio edit) (Impossibly Distant, Impossibly Close, 2024) 21:52   Arvo Pärt - Fratres For String Quartet (Fratres, 1977) 31:22   Sylvain Chauveau - La Lettre Qu'il N'Envoya Jamais (Un Autre Décembre, 2003) 32:56   Eluvium - Vibration Consensus Reality(for Spectral Multiband Resonator) ((Whirring Marvels In) Consensus Reality, 2023) 41:06   Julianna Barwick + Rafael Anton Irisarri - Thalasso (For Ukraine Vol. 2, 2022) 46:21   Harold Budd - Sandtreader (Lovely Thunder, 1986) 51:32   Pepo Galán feat.

The solo piano: a sound that's been evolving for over 300 years. It's perfectly happy all by itself, but it also plays exceptionally well with others. Flexible by design, the piano has been a mainstay in classical music and jazz, and a key element in traditional and popular music. With the arrival of ambient, minimal and new age music in the 1970s, the piano was expanded and dematerialized through studio magic, and combined with ambient and electronic textures to create spatial sound images. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, the acoustic piano meets ambient atmospheres, on a program called CONFLATION. Music is by JON HOPKINS, TALE OF US, BEN LUKAS BOYSEN, ROBERT RICH & MARKUS REUTER, HAROLD BUDD & CLIVE WRIGHT, CHRIS WALLA, and CHRISTOPHER WILLITS & RYUICHI SAKAMOTO. NOTE: If you're thinking of buying one the new electronic/digital pianos, here's an excellent guide by Rob Beck. [ view playlist ] [ view Flickr image gallery ] [ play 30 second MP3 promo ]

If you've driven an electric car, you've experienced the feeling of smooth, silent power that conveys you almost effortlessly to your destination. Something similar happened to the venerable Spanish guitar when it got an electronic upgrade in the 20th century. In just a few years, a charming but limited folk instrument became a powerhouse — a vehicle for everything from heroic flights to subtle meditations. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we ride our favorite six string transporter to ethereal realms, on a program called 'TRANSLUCENT GUITARS 2' Music is by ERIK WØLLO, DAVID HELPLING, HAMMOCK, JOHN GREGORIUS, JEFF PEARCE, CLIVE WRIGHT & HAROLD BUDD, CHUCK JOHNSON, and TOM CAUFIELD.

Ahhh, the advent of spring. It arrives in fits and starts... a few warm days punctuated by brisk winds and unpredictable storms. In March, we pass the spring equinox and have a bright new season. The trees bud and blossom, and the natural world stirs and awakes. After the constriction and enclosure of winter, it's a time to stretch, breathe deep, and expand. The Ambient soundscapes of the season are brighter, bolder, larger, with a sense of possibility, even hope. The long winter is past, the joy of spring and the blissful days of summer are at hand. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey in the vernal soundscape, on a program called EXPANSION. Music is by DAVID HELPLING & JON JENKINS, PATRICK O'HEARN, JOHN LYELL, ALPHA WAVE MOVEMENT, PHILLIP WILKERSON, HAR, and HAROLD BUDD.

    Thanks to our good friends at Nettwerk Music we have another wonderful guest mix to share. The mix is called "Infinitely Small", expertly curated by Htennek Niwhsa. Piano is the main instrument throughout this lovely set. I don't listen to quite as much piano music as I used to so it was a great to hear so many track featuring the instrument. This would be a great mix to listen to on a Sunday morning with coffee and the paper. Ken Harrison and Ashwin Sood are the masterminds behind the Htennek Niwhsa project. I'll them tell you about this warm and inviting mix: "We're so pleased to be asked to do a guest mix for Low Light! We've spent the last two years soaking in a bath of simple but pure melodies that an unknown composer named Htennek Niwhsa prepared. We've searched unsuccessfully for him but, in our quest, have found him to be a patient teacher. This playlist is a reflection of the lesson Htennek taught us about the value of slowing down and noticing the small and seemingly insignificant. Universes contained in a miniature figurine. Symphonies contained in a well thought out melodic phrase. We've compiled this mix from other composers who we think shared Htennek's vision - some of them friends, some of them heroes." The new EP "The Smell of a Solitary House" by Htennek Niwhsa just came out last week, March 8th. Here's the link - https://htennekniwhsa.bandcamp.com/album/the-smell-of-a-solitary-house  If you like this, you'll like the new EP. Definitely check it out.

He quickly became a go-to composer for television and other purposes, such as soundscapes for museum exhibitions. Tetsu Inoue, “Low of Vibration” from Ambiant Otaku (1994 Fax +49-69/450464). Before I met Tetsu around the year 2000, I was fascinated by music such as this which had all of the elements of ambient music—slow and forming harmonies, spatial rhythms rather than beats, and a sustained energy throughout—without sounding at all like something out of an Eno production. Produced and performed by Tetsu Inoue. Kenji Kawai, “Ghostdive” from Ghost in the Shell (Original Soundtrack) (1995 RCA). An ambient work from the popular movie soundtrack.Composed, Performed, Produced, Arranged, Keyboards, Instruments, Kenji Kawai; synthesizer, Hironori Houki. Waveform Transmission, “V 1.3” from V 1.0-1.9 (1996 Silent). Analog Tone Engineering and Realization, Recordings Of The Dead, Shortwave, Field Recordings Made During Periods Of Highly-charged Paranormal Activity, Korg MS 10, Korg MS 20, Korg MS 50, Roland System 100 Synthesizers, Home Built Analog Synthesizers, Tape, Loops, Chris Troy; Digital Audio Graphs, Granular Synthesis, Microwave Communications, Psycho-acoustics, Tape, Loops Otari MX 5050 loops, Rod Modell. Experimental Audio Research, “Automatic Music (For Oscillator, Ring Modulator & Filter Clusters)” from Pestrepeller (1999 Ochre Records). UK release, limited to 1000 copies. Engineer, Serge Modular Music System, Sonic Boom (Pete Kember). Some interesting modular synthesizer ambience. John Foxx and Harold Budd, “Raindust” from Translucence + Drift Music (2003 Edsel Records). Composed, produced, and performed by Harold Budd, John Foxx. John Foxx and Harold Budd, “Some Way Through All the Cities” from Translucence + Drift Music (2003 Edsel Records). Composed, produced, and performed by Harold Budd, John Foxx. Pete Namlook, Tetsu Inoue, “Ethereal Being” from 2350 Broadway 4 (2007 Fax +49-69/450464). Composed, produced, and performed by Pete Namlook, Tetsu Inoue. Recorded at Bretton Hall, New York and Klanglobor Hödeshof. Tetsu was an endless collaborator. Here he and the wondrous Pete Namlook wove some ambient magic. Tetsu Inoue, “Kaze” from Inland (2007 Fax +49-69/450464). Written, performed and produced by Tetsu Inoue. This was his post-glitch faze, which brought together, strangely enough, element so his earlier ambient work and glitch music for computers. Masuko Shinji, “Woven Music for Blue Steppe” from Woven Music (2011 Jagjaguwar). All music, vocals and guitar, 増子真二 (Shinji Masuko). This is a project by Masuko, who sometimes works with the Boredoms. It has a characteristic high but sustained energy level that flirts with the outer reaches of the ambient music concept. Caroline Park, “Grain 5” from Grain (2011 Private Chronology). This is a cassette release by Park, often known her for generative composition work and electronic improvisations based on parameters that she defines. Recorded, performed, and mixed between May 2010 and January 2011 in Los Angeles and Boston. Sarah Davachi, “First Cadence” from Antiphonals (2021 Late Music). Composed, Recorded, Performed, Mellotron (bass flute, recorder, oboe), Tape Echo, Sarah Davachi. A recent ambient work by this contemporary experimenter. In the background: An example of ambient music from the program Droneo by Henry Lowengard, which produces self-generating ambient music on a smart phone. “Droneo 1.5 vanDelay and Ape,” (5:25). Opening and closing sequences voiced by Anne Benkovitz. Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes. See my companion blog that I write for the Bob Moog Foundation.

Episode 110 Before and After Ambient, Part 1 Playlist Erik Satie, “Vexations” (1893-94), First, we will hear two piano versions (1 and 4) of this short work that was intended to be played repeatedly in one sitting 840 times in succession. The piano version was performed by Jeroen van Veen on the album Satie, Complete Piano Music (2016 Brilliant Classics). Then, we will hear an electronic version by Bhutan from Vexations (2016 Venado). Argentinean group Bhutan realized this electronic version of the Erik Satie piece in 2016. I thought it would be fitting to open the program with this because Satie's was one of the first works to be recognized in recent times as a kind of proto ambient composition. Satie preferred the term “furniture music” and thought that it would be suitable for background sound during a dinner party. The Bhutan version, realized in electronic instrumentation, is a fitting bridge of the old and the new when it comes to ambient compositions. John Cage, “In A Landscape” (1948) from In A Landscape played by Victoria Jordanova (2007 Arpaviva Recordings). This early Cage work was originally arranged either for piano or harp. It is very much the interpretation that makes this akin to ambient music. I selected this version for electric harp because it maintains the original's sense of suspended time and energy. I also like William Orbit's version but he took the orchestration to greater lengths and transforming it into something not so ambient. There is also a really quiet piano version by Stephen Drury which remains true to Cage's original intent of being “soft and meditative” with “resonances” being sustained by depressing both pedals throughout the performance. But I included this version for electric harp by Jordanova because it is more in tune with the electronic nature of the music we feature in this program. Morton Feldman, “Projection 1” (1950) from Arne Deforce, Yutaka Oya, Patterns In A Chromatic Field (2009 Aeon). Cello, Arne Deforce; Piano, Yutaka Oya; composed by, Morton Feldman. This is an acoustic work by Feldman (I couldn't find any electronic renditions) but I include it to draw similarities to the work of Harold Budd, also a pianist. In fact, Feldman was a long-standing favorite of Budd. Raymond Scott, “Sleepy Time” from Soothing Sounds for Baby, Volume 1 (1964 Epic). This legendary work is from a set of electronic and ambient records that Scott produced in the early 1960s as background music to help babies go to sleep. The electronic music was produced with his own creation, the Electronium, a from-scratch built custom synthesizer that combines electronic sequencing with tone generation and various filters. Eliane Radigue, “Vice - Versa, Etc. (Mix 1)” (1970) from (2013 Vice - Versa, Etc.). Processed tape reorder feedback. Realized at the composer's studio in Paris. Premiered in 1970 at Galerie Lara Vincy in Paris, on the occasion of a group exhibition. The stereo synthesis presented here was made in Lyon at Studio Fluorescent between 2010 and 2011 by Emmanuel Holterbach. Produced, composed, recorded using feedback by Eliane Radigue. Originally conceived as a sound installation, using several reel-to-reel tape players controlled through a mixing desk. The tapes could be played at different speeds, either forward or backward, right channel only, left channel only or simultaneously. The audience could create their own mix. Teresa Rampazzi (N.P.S.), “Environ” (1970) from Musica Endoscopica (2008 Die Schachtel). Created in 1970, this work represents a kind of reproduction in electronic sound of an ambient environment, peppered with noise and even voice. Rampazzi was a pioneering female composer of electronic music who founded the N.P.S. (Nuove Proposte Sonore) group and studio, where this was realized. Harmonia, “Hausmusik” from Harmonia (1974 Brain). Recorded and produced June - November '73 in the Harmonia home studio. Guitar, Piano, Organ, electronic percussion, Michael Rother; Organ, Keyboards, Guitar, electronic percussion, J. Roedelius; Synthesizer, Guitar, electronic percussion, D. Moebius. Brian Eno, “Discreet Music” (excerpt) from Discreet Music (1976 Obscure). Synthesizer with Digital Recall System, Graphic Equalizer, Echo Unit, Delay, Tape, Brian Eno. Brian Eno (b. 1948) worked with tape delay much in the manner defined by Oliveros for I of However, he expressed a somewhat indifferent attitude toward the outcome. He described the realization of Discreet Music (1975): “Since I have always preferred making plans to executing them, I have gravitated toward situations and systems that, once set into operation, could create music with little or no intervention on my part. That is to say, I tend toward the roles of planner and programmer, and then become an audience to the results.” Eno's composition consisted of a diagram of the devices used to generate the music. His approach was identical to that of Oliveros except that the sound material was specifically melodic and he did not modify or interact with the sound once the process was set in motion. The result in Discreet Music is the gradual transformation of a recognizable musical phrase. These 10 minutes are excerpted from the beginning of the extended work lasting 31 minutes. Brian Eno, “Through Hollow Lands (For Harold Budd)” from Before and After Science (1977 Island). Bass, Paul Rudolph; Vocals, Bell, Mini-Moog, CS80, AKS synthesizers, piano, guitar, Brian Eno. This is one of the only tracks that I would consider to be ambient from this album. Robert Ashley, “Automatic Writing” (excerpt) (1974–79) from Automatic Writing (1979 Lovely Music). This work was much talked about when it was released on record by Lovely Music Ltd. in 1979. Ashley wrote it over a five-year period after having just come back from his self-imposed exile from composing in the early 1970s. He performed it many times in various formative stages with the Sonic Arts Union before finally committing it to disc. It does indeed have a vocal, but it is also imbued with quiet, ASMR kinds of sounds that mesmerize. The basic musical material of Automatic Writing was the spoken voice, closely miked, uttering what Ashley characterized as “involuntary speech”: random, seemingly rational comments that might not make sense at all, depending on the context in which they were heard. These 10 minutes are excerpted from the beginning of the extended work lasting 46 minutes. Sri Dinesh, “Le Chant Des Étoiles” from Para Symphonie (1978 Alain Grima). French album of music to accompany meditation. It consists largely of short, repeated organ patterns and falls within the frame of mind for which ambient music was intended. Brian Eno, “2/2” from Ambient 1: Music for Airports (1978). Engineer, Conny Plank (yes, the producer of Kraftwerk). Composed, conceptualized, produced and engineered by Brian Eno. Theresa Rampazzi, “Atmen Noch” (1980) from from Musica Endoscopica (2008 Die Schachtel). Conrad Schnitzler, “Control B” from Control (1981 Dys). Edition of 1000 copies. An electronic work by Schnitzler, who played the devices, produced, and recorded the music. Opening background music: Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers, Bloom 3.2 (10) (2014 Opal Ltd.). Bloom is a generative music application that composes ambient music. This recording was made using Bloom running in “Classic” mode on a Macbook Pro running Ventura 13.5.2. Opening and closing sequences voiced by Anne Benkovitz. Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes. See my companion blog that I write for the Bob Moog Foundation.

Summer often departs unwillingly, with warm days that linger into autumn. In years to come, the transition will probably take even longer, but eventually the sun sinks ever lower, the days grow shorter, the light dims, and the natural world prepares for the long winter to come: drying, darkening, withering, dropping, and dying — to be reborn. The music of the season slows, darkens, and takes on a more somber affect, echoing the complex colors and diminishing energy of autumn, as the sun withdraws to its winter retreat. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, an electro-acoustic journey in the autumn soundscape, on a program called FALLING LEAVES. Music is by LUDOVICO EINAUDI, JOHANN JOHANNSON, KEVIN KELLER, MARCONI UNION, DIATONIS, TIM STORY & HANS-JOACHIM ROEDELIUS, ROBIN GUTHRIE & HAROLD BUDD, and BRIAN ENO.

Today's guest deejay is Jonas Munk, AKA Manual, and one-half of Billow Observatory, with his partner, Jason Kolb. Billow Observatory has appeared on several mixes on Soundwave, and I'm excited to have Jonas share his mix with us. Jonas says he selected music that inspired them since day one and some more recent discoveries. In addition to his musical endeavors, Thomas runs the label Azure Vista Records. He has released two Billow Observatory albums, one of Jonas's solo work and an album from Jason's band, Auburn Lull. I eagerly anticipate their soon-to-be-released new album. Jonas's carefully curated selection of tracks in this mix all center around the interplay of ambient, electronic, and experimental music, woven together to create a dreamy and ethereal atmosphere. You can expect lush soundscapes, intricate melodies, and beautiful collaborations between artists like Harold Budd and Brian Eno with Daniel Lanois and Robert Fripp and Brian Eno. He also includes standout tracks from electronic music pioneers like Biosphere and Boards of Canada. As I sit down at my kitchen table to begin another day's work, I can't help but feel grateful for the simple pleasures in life — a cup of coffee, the view of the world from my rooftop, and of course, Jonas's mix playing in the background. It's been a constant companion as I ease into my daily routine. I know you'll feel the same way too. So grab your coffee, find a comfy spot, and let Jonas's mix transport you to a world of sublime soundscapes and dreamy melodies. Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Simon Grab.

In the early 1970s, English guitarist ROBERT FRIPP (of the seminal progressive rock band KING CRIMSON) began a series of experiments with tape delay echo loops that he came to call "Frippertronics." Fripp's collaboration with fellow electronic experimentalist BRIAN ENO yielded two influential albums of treated electric guitar and synthesizers. NO PUSSYFOOTING (from 1972) and EVENING STAR (in 1974) defined a new sound: the infinite spatial guitar. Whether endlessly looped or indefinitely sustained, Fripp transformed, expanded and dematerialized the electric guitar by feeding it back on itself — and created one of the foundations of today's ambient soundscapes. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE we borrow a term from computer programming, on a descending journey for fall called INFINITE LOOPS. Music is by HAROLD BUDD & CLIVE WRIGHT, ROBIN GUTHRIE, HAMMOCK, and RICHARD BONE. [ view playlist ] [ view Flickr image gallery ] [ play 30 second MP3 promo ]

Daniel Lanois is our guest for this latest Bonus Track. The legendary producer, artist and songwriter joins Matt to discuss his newest solo album, Player, Piano, which is available now.The album features a series of exotic instrumental piano performances and was recorded at Lanois' studio in Toronto with the help of co-producer Dangerous Wayne Lorenz. “Making this record transported me at a time when I couldn't go anywhere,” Lanois reflects. “I got to travel to Cuba and Mexico and Jamaica. I got to visit with the ghosts of Erik Satie and Oscar Peterson and Harold Budd. I got to go back in time to my work with Brian Eno and Kate Bush and Emmylou Harris. All without ever leaving my studio.” In order to achieve the timeless-sounding recordings on Player, Piano, Lanois and Lorenz set about transforming each of the three pianos in the studio, dampening the strings with tea towels and dulling the percussive impact of the hammers by adding small felt pads to the heads. When it came time to record, they used vintage ribbon mics and arranged them behind the instruments rather than in front in an effort to further soften the sound. “I decided that if I was going to make a piano record, I wanted it to sound like recordings from the ‘40s and '50s, back when the piano was soft and beautiful,” explains Lanois. As one of the most acclaimed and influential producers of the modern era, he's helmed iconic albums for everyone from Bob Dylan and Neil Young to U2 and Peter Gabriel. As a prolific and critically acclaimed songwriter, he's composed scores for Oscar-winning films and blockbuster video games in addition to releasing more than a dozen genre-bending solo records. Rolling Stone declared that his “unmistakable fingerprints are all over an entire wing of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” (think The Joshua Tree, Wrecking Ball, Time Out Of Mind), while NPR lauded him as the author of his own “brilliant albums of heartfelt songs.” Player, Piano follows the 2021 release of Lanois' album Heavy Sun, which received wide acclaim from outlets such as SPIN, World Cafe, No Depression and American Songwriter and more. Each song on Player, Piano is a portal, an invitation to lose yourself in the moment and disappear into a world of imagination and memory. Melodies unfold slowly with patience and grace; ethereal arrangements drift around them like fog rolling through the mountains. More than just an album, Player, Piano is a gateway into a cinematic sonic universe full of mystery and wonder, a place where the lines between reality and fantasy blur and deep truths and desires reveal themselves in profound and unexpected ways.It was a joy to speak with Daniel and he shared some great stories from his past work, including experiences with Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, the Neville Brothers and more.If you dig what we're doing with the podcast, check out our Patreon for bonus material related to these episodes, plus additional interviews and other fun stuff.

Vanessa Wagner présente l'album Study Of The Invisible (InFiné). S'il y a une constante chez Vanessa Wagner, c'est bien sa versatilité, au sens où l'entendent les Anglo-Saxons. Parallèlement à sa carrière de musicienne interprétant le grand répertoire soliste, chambriste et concertant sur les scènes du monde entier (et l'enregistrant pour le label La Dolce Volta), celle que Le Monde qualifie de "pianiste la plus délicieusement singulière de sa génération" et que Libération décrit comme "une des pianistes les plus curieuses et captivantes du paysage hexagonal - arpente avec la complicité du label InFiné des chemins tout aussi personnels, mais peut-être plus intimes". Après Statea en 2016, en duo avec le musicien électronique Murcof, elle vient aujourd'hui poursuivre avec Study Of The Invisible le voyage entamé sur son disque solo Inland (2019). Un voyage qui la voit défricher ce répertoire qu'elle est en France, voire en Europe, pratiquement la seule pianiste "classique" à aborder. Un répertoire contemporain et intemporel que l'on qualifiera, pour aller vite, de "minimaliste", mais qui recouvre en réalité une multitude d'univers singuliers et de personnalités musicales souvent hors du commun, toutes générations confondues. Pour composer ce programme, Vanessa Wagner a creusé son passionnant travail de découverte entamé avec Inland, assemblant des pièces rares qui tissent entre elles une mystérieuse histoire. Parmi les 15 stations qui composent ce palpitant périple, les États-Unis se taillent la part du lion. Sous le parrainage de Moondog, le viking aveugle et visionnaire, dont le très "bachien". Prélude en la majeur de 1961 constitue la pièce la plus ancienne du disque, se côtoient les icônes du minimalisme - l'incontournable Philip Glass, l'inclassable Harold Budd, pape de la musique ambient -, les représentants de la première génération de "postminimalistes" - Peter Garland, David Lang ou Julia Wolfe, nés dans les années 1950 - et la jeune garde : Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly, Timo Andres, nés entre 1976 et 1985. Mais aussi quelques outsideuses de choix : Suzanne Ciani, plus connue (tout est relatif) comme pionnière de la musique électronique ou l'étonnante Caroline Shaw, qui fut en 2013, à 31 ans, la plus jeune lauréate du prix Pulitzer, et dont l'univers va et vient librement entre musiques "savante" et "populaire". Tout aussi inclassables, apparaissent aussi les œuvres et les parcours de l'Italien Ezio Bosso, du Français Melaine Dalibert ou, bien sûr, des frères Brian et Roger Eno, autres musiciens d'entre les mondes.   Ces partitions qui peuvent de prime abord paraître simples techniquement - quoique les Études de Philip Glass ou de Nico Muhly exigent une vélocité extravagante - réclament en réalité de l'interprète - bien davantage que la simple virtuosité : une intériorité, une authentique disposition de l'âme. À l'instar de la musique d'Érik Satie, c'est une musique qu'il appartient à chacun d'habiter en se gardant de la dénaturer. Ainsi l'exploration à laquelle se livre Vanessa Wagner est aussi une quête : "Chercher son intériorité : c'est ce que j'aime de plus en plus dans la musique." Après avoir joué Scriabine, Rachmaninov ou Ravel, explorer l'intensité sans déluge de notes, le dépouillement comme mode d'expression me passionne. Il s'agit pour l'interprète de faire ressortir une vraie atmosphère, une respiration du tempo, une sensualité du son, de mettre une intensité dans chaque intention, et faire vivre et vibrer les espaces entre chaque note. "Ce n'est pas une musique légère, c'est une musique intense émotionnellement, qui va en profondeur, dans laquelle on met une part de son histoire…" Marier à ce degré d'intensité le contrôle - celui du toucher, du son - et l'abandon n'est pas à la portée de tous les instrumentistes. Tel est le sens de Study Of The Invisible : aller chercher ce monde mystérieux qui vit derrière la partition, les liens imperceptibles qui unissent ces silences et ces harmonies, mais aussi ces ressources intérieures que cette musique est capable de mettre à jour. Avec ce disque et ce voyage, Vanessa Wagner dont l'apparente mélancolie s'avère en fin de compte puissamment réconfortante, continue de donner ses lettres de noblesse à une musique qui, mieux que brillante, se révèle avant tout rayonnante et lumineuse.   Et Labelle présente Eclat (InFiné/ Eumolpe), son nouvel album pour quatuor à cordes et électro-maloya avec la participation du quatuor Metavers. Avec Éclat - moment unique d'étincelle de la création - Labelle continue son exploration de l'infinie possibilité de la composition débutée en 2019 avec Orchestre Univers. Son quatrième album studio, centré autour d'un quatuor à cordes, est né lors d'une répétition à laquelle assistait Labelle : assis à côté des cordes, il les observe communiquer entre eux dans un langage sans paroles, presque télépathique, fait de contacts visuels, de hochements de tête et de coups d'archets. Depuis ses débuts, le compositeur aime s'affranchir des règles orchestrales traditionnelles pour expérimenter, innover et "créoliser" son art. "J'ai écrit pour eux comme si j'écrivais pour un groupe de rock." Jeremy précise : "Tu as ta section rythmique, tes deux guitares lead et un seul musicien joue de la basse." Dans la musique classique, le langage entre les musiciens est la clé - la conversation entre les lignes et les musiciens crée quelque chose d'organique et vivant. Ainsi, Labelle écrit aussi les parties électroniques pour qu'elles aient une double fonction : élément musical d'une part, clef de compréhension de l'œuvre d'autre part, devenant ainsi une partie du langage entre les musiciens. Ensemble, ils explorent un son unique où l'orchestration classique rencontre le Maloya, l'électronique moderne rencontre les instruments organiques, l'Afrique rencontre l'Europe, la terre rencontre l'espace. Labelle cherche l'inspiration partout : Mes Mondes a été augmenté d'un quart de ton pour correspondre à la gamme de la musique Gnaoua du Maroc, un morceau très rythmé et hypnotique étroitement lié au Maloya de La Réunion, pays d'origine de l'artiste. Le morceau suivant, Dann Ron Maloya, est une construction jusqu'à RON, la seule fois sur le disque où les quatre musiciens jouent la même ligne, un récit musical de l'état de transe que la musique et la danse Maloya peuvent permettre d'atteindre. Ils s'élèvent et s'élèvent jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient noyés dans la distorsion, ressemblant plus à un solo de guitare rock qu'à un quatuor à cordes. Le titre éponyme Éclat est peut-être celui qui s'inscrit le plus directement dans la lignée du précédent album de l'artiste, Orchestre Univers, évoquant un son cosmique, comme un orchestre suspendu en apesanteur. De nombreuses chansons ont d'abord été enregistrées lors d'une série de concerts, avant que la pandémie ne frappe en 2020, puis réenregistrées, éditées et superposées au cours d'une année de confinement. Sur le disque fini, grâce à un mixage et une production exceptionnelle, il est impossible de distinguer ce qui a été enregistré en direct de ce qui a été enregistré en studio : un témoignage du niveau étonnant de détails apporté à cet album. Pour immortaliser et ajouter la touche finale à cette expérimentation, le disque a été envoyé à Hector Plimmer pour un mixage supplémentaire. La touche jazz et expérimentale du producteur anglais déconstruit encore plus le quatuor à cordes, l'amenant vers un résultat encore plus beau et singulier. Labelle a créé un disque capable d'unir des éléments de rock, de jazz, d'électronique et de musique classique sans jamais perdre l'auditeur, il l'attire en l'introduisant lentement dans un monde où la musique se libère de toutes ses barrières. Ce n'est définitivement plus de la musique classique qu'il compose.   À propos de Labelle  Jeremy Labelle est à l'avant-garde d'une jeune génération de musiciens réunionnais représentant et développant le son Maloya à travers le monde. Après avoir enregistré sa première œuvre orchestrale Orchestre Univers lors de quatre concerts à guichets fermés à La Réunion, Éclat continue cette série de recherches atour de la composition classique et des sons traditionnels de son île.

SOUNDWAVE : 126 : JOHAN DE REYBEKILL Today's guest deejay is Johan de Reybekill, AKA Phaedrus. I discovered Johan through Quasi, the album collaborated on with Dronny Darko (listen to Dronny's mix for Soundwave here). I was swept away by the experience and listened to John's projects and concerts. Of course, I invited John to guest deejay on Soundwave, and he's shared something wonderful with us. I have a routine for my four-year-old grandkid when it's time to sleep. I tell him a story that includes events from his day and his friends, the Little Old Mouse and Purple Monster. Then I play some ambient music for him to drift away to, usually Brian Eno, whom we call Uncle Eno. My go-to's are Eno's Ambient 4: On Land and The Pearl, an album he recorded with the late Harold Budd. I've listed to a lot of Brian Eno since becoming a Dziadzia (that's Polish for “grandpa”), and as much as I love Eno's music, sometimes that means switching things up. Johan doesn't know it, but I've used today's mix to send my grandkid off to Sleepytime on more than one occasion. Johan has words about today's mix below. Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Sunwarper. See you then. In this mix I have worked with subtle contrasts like: “noisy / minimalistic”, “melodic / droning”, “dark / gentle", “static / volatile”. A majority of the pieces on the mix is from some of my favourite Scandinavian artists. The process of creating the mix made me realise just how much I love listening to music in that special way, where I am actively listening to the music in depth; its composition, qualities and details. I found myself going for long walks just to listen to the mix in its entirety, go home and make adjustments, go for another walk, and so on. I loved the process of working with my own and others' music as an integral part of what came to be the mix. It was a pleasure and an honour to contribute to Soundwave. Thanks, Joseph.

Vanessa Wagner présente l'album Study Of The Invisible (InFiné). S'il y a une constante chez Vanessa Wagner, c'est bien sa versatilité, au sens où l'entendent les Anglo-Saxons. Parallèlement à sa carrière de musicienne interprétant le grand répertoire soliste, chambriste et concertant sur les scènes du monde entier (et l'enregistrant pour le label La Dolce Volta), celle que Le Monde qualifie de "pianiste la plus délicieusement singulière de sa génération" et que Libération décrit comme "une des pianistes les plus curieuses et captivantes du paysage hexagonal - arpente avec la complicité du label InFiné des chemins tout aussi personnels, mais peut-être plus intimes". Après Statea en 2016, en duo avec le musicien électronique Murcof, elle vient aujourd'hui poursuivre avec Study Of The Invisible le voyage entamé sur son disque solo Inland (2019). Un voyage qui la voit défricher ce répertoire qu'elle est en France, voire en Europe, pratiquement la seule pianiste "classique" à aborder. Un répertoire contemporain et intemporel que l'on qualifiera, pour aller vite, de "minimaliste", mais qui recouvre en réalité une multitude d'univers singuliers et de personnalités musicales souvent hors du commun, toutes générations confondues. Pour composer ce programme, Vanessa Wagner a creusé son passionnant travail de découverte entamé avec Inland, assemblant des pièces rares qui tissent entre elles une mystérieuse histoire. Parmi les 15 stations qui composent ce palpitant périple, les États-Unis se taillent la part du lion. Sous le parrainage de Moondog, le Viking aveugle et visionnaire, dont le très "bachien". Prélude en la majeur de 1961 constitue la pièce la plus ancienne du disque, se côtoient les icônes du minimalisme –l'incontournable Philip Glass, l'inclassable Harold Budd, pape de la musique ambient -, les représentants de la première génération de "postminimalistes" –Peter Garland, David Lang ou Julia Wolfe, nés dans les années 1950 – et la jeune garde : Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly, Timo Andres, nés entre 1976 et 1985. Mais aussi quelques outsideuses de choix : Suzanne Ciani, plus connue (tout est relatif) comme pionnière de la musique électronique ou l'étonnante Caroline Shaw, qui fut en 2013, à 31 ans, la plus jeune lauréate du prix Pulitzer, et dont l'univers va et vient librement entre musiques "savante" et "populaire". Tout aussi inclassables, apparaissent aussi les œuvres et les parcours de l'Italien Ezio Bosso, du Français Melaine Dalibert ou, bien sûr, des frères Brian et Roger Eno, autres musiciens d'entre les mondes. Ces partitions qui peuvent de prime abord paraître simples techniquement - quoique les Études de Philip Glass ou de Nico Muhly exigent une vélocité extravagante – réclament en réalité de l'interprète –bien davantage que la simple virtuosité : une intériorité, une authentique disposition de l'âme. À l'instar de la musique d'Erik Satie, c'est une musique qu'il appartient à chacun d'habiter en se gardant de la dénaturer. Ainsi l'exploration à laquelle se livre Vanessa Wagner est aussi une quête : "Chercher son intériorité : c'est ce que j'aime de plus en plus dans la musique." Après avoir joué Scriabine, Rachmaninov ou Ravel, explorer l'intensité sans déluge de notes, le dépouillement comme mode d'expression me passionne. Il s'agit pour l'interprète de faire ressortir une vraie atmosphère, une respiration du tempo, une sensualité du son, de mettre une intensité dans chaque intention, et faire vivre et vibrer les espaces entre chaque note. "Ce n'est pas une musique légère, c'est une musique intense émotionnellement, qui va en profondeur, dans laquelle on met une part de son histoire…" Marier à ce degré d'intensité le contrôle – celui du toucher, du son – et l'abandon n'est pas à la portée de tous les instrumentistes. Tel est le sens de Study Of The Invisible : aller chercher ce monde mystérieux qui vit derrière la partition, les liens imperceptibles qui unissent ces silences et ces harmonies, mais aussi ces ressources intérieures que cette musique est capable de mettre à jour. Avec ce disque et ce voyage, Vanessa Wagner dont l'apparente mélancolie s'avère en fin de compte puissamment réconfortante, continue de donner ses lettres de noblesse à une musique qui, mieux que brillante, se révèle avant tout rayonnante et lumineuse. Et Labelle présente Eclat (InFiné/ Eumolpe), son nouvel album pour quatuor à cordes et électro-maloya avec la participation du quatuor Metavers. Avec Éclat - moment unique d'étincelle de la création - Labelle continue son exploration de l'infinie possibilité de la composition débutée en 2019 avec Orchestre Univers. Son quatrième album studio, centré autour d'un quatuor à cordes, est né lors d'une répétition à laquelle assistait Labelle : assis à côté des cordes, il les observe communiquer entre eux dans un langage sans paroles, presque télépathique, fait de contacts visuels, de hochements de tête et de coups d'archets. Depuis ses débuts, le compositeur aime s'affranchir des règles orchestrales traditionnelles pour expérimenter, innover et "créoliser" son art. "J'ai écrit pour eux comme si j'écrivais pour un groupe de rock". Jeremy précise : "tu as ta section rythmique, tes deux guitares lead et un seul musicien joue de la basse". Dans la musique classique, le langage entre les musiciens est la clé - la conversation entre les lignes et les musiciens crée quelque chose d'organique et vivant. Ainsi, Labelle écrit aussi les parties électroniques pour qu'elles aient une double fonction : élément musical d'une part, clef de compréhension de l'œuvre d'autre part, devenant ainsi une partie du langage entre les musiciens. Ensemble, ils explorent un son unique où l'orchestration classique rencontre le Maloya, l'électronique moderne rencontre les instruments organiques, l'Afrique rencontre l'Europe, la terre rencontre l'espace. Labelle cherche l'inspiration partout : ‘Mes Mondes' a été augmenté d'un quart de ton pour correspondre à la gamme de la musique Gnaoua du Maroc, un morceau très rythmé et hypnotique étroitement lié au Maloya de La Réunion, pays d'origine de l'artiste. Le morceau suivant, ‘Dann Ron Maloya', est une construction jusqu'à ‘RON', la seule fois sur le disque où les quatre musiciens jouent la même ligne, un récit musical de l'état de transe que la musique et la danse Maloya peuvent permettre d'atteindre. Ils s'élèvent et s'élèvent jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient noyés dans la distorsion, ressemblant plus à un solo de guitare rock qu'à un quatuor à cordes. Le titre éponyme Éclat est peut-être celui qui s'inscrit le plus directement dans la lignée du précédent album de l'artiste, Orchestre Univers, évoquant un son cosmique, comme un orchestre suspendu en apesanteur. De nombreuses chansons ont d'abord été enregistrées lors d'une série de concerts, avant que la pandémie ne frappe en 2020, puis réenregistrées, éditées et superposées au cours d'une année de confinement. Sur le disque fini, grâce à un mixage et une production exceptionnelle, il est impossible de distinguer ce qui a été enregistré en direct de ce qui a été enregistré en studio : un témoignage du niveau étonnant de détails apporté à cet album. Pour immortaliser et ajouter la touche finale à cette expérimentation, le disque a été envoyé à Hector Plimmer pour un mixage supplémentaire. La touche jazz et expérimentale du producteur anglais déconstruit encore plus le quatuor à cordes, l'amenant vers un résultat encore plus beau et singulier. Labelle a créé un disque capable d'unir des éléments de rock, de jazz, d'électronique et de musique classique sans jamais perdre l'auditeur, il l'attire en l'introduisant lentement dans un monde où la musique se libère de toutes ses barrières. Ce n'est définitivement plus de la musique classique qu'il compose. À propos de Labelle : Jeremy Labelle est à l'avant-garde d'une jeune génération de musiciens réunionnais représentant et développant le son Maloya à travers le monde. Après avoir enregistré sa première œuvre orchestrale Orchestre Univers lors de quatre concerts à guichets fermés à La Réunion, Éclat continue cette série de recherches atour de la composition classique et des sons traditionnels de son île.   Titres interprétés au Grand studio à RFI - Étude n°16 [Philip Glass] Live RFI Vanessa Wagner voir le clip  - Elude Live RFI Labelle - Prélude N°1 In A Minor [Moondog] Live RFI Vanessa Wagner - Mes Mondes enchainé avec Dann Ron Maloya Live RFI Labelle (4'15'' au total) - Explore !

Is Robin Guthrie one of the most influential guitarists ever? Going back to his days with the Cocteau Twins, up to his stellar solo work the last 25 years, his shimmering, reverb-heavy style pretty much kicked off the Shoegaze and Dream Pop movements. Not to mention, it inspired every bedroom player to mess with the pedals and knobs to find that perfect sound. Robin has spent the last couple decades adding to his legacy by consistenly releasing stellar albums (mostly ambient, many with others including frequent collaborator Harold Budd). This embarrassment of riches continues as he's put out three beautiful EPs as well as the wonderful full length, Pearldiving, just in the last year! Robin joins us to discuss his approach to music making, some of his production work with artists like Lush and Ian McCulloch, and stories from the old Cocteau Twins days. Enjoy!  www.robinguthrie.bandcamp.com www.robinguthrie.com www.patreon.com/thehustlepod

Electronic musician Jon Hopkins is well-known in certain circles as the creator of numerous thoughtful, yet in many cases danceable, records. He's also had his hand in some enormously commercially successful records, however, as a producer and guest musician, such as Coldplay's "Viva la Vida," as well as in several co-productions with Brian Eno. In this episode, he discusses the effect songs by Eno and Harold Budd, Ozric Tentacles, and Orbital had on him. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's episode, we are thrilled to discuss the long-awaited follow-up to one of our favourite albums of all time, the bombastic, deeply emotional, and highly conceptual new third record from Gang of Youths, ANGEL IN REALTIME. Join us as we dig deep into everything that makes this album a remarkable triumph and one of the most original albums of the year, and why it deserves the biggest audience possible. Also on the slab today: we discuss the music of Rob Zombie, astonishing two-hour opuses from Harold Budd and Panopticon, the worst song of the year so far, the return of Tears for Fears, the best shoegaze album you've never heard, and much more!

As the guitarist/multi-instrumentalist and songwriter for The Cocteau Twins, Robin Guthrie's unique sonic palette helped spearhead and popularize the dream pop sub-genre, with songs that emerged like hazy daydreams through his unique combination of melody and his focused use of effects on albums like 'Treasure', 'Blue Bell Knoll' and 'Heaven or Las Vegas.' During that time, Guthrie also did extensive production work for a variety of artists including The Wolfgang Press, The Gun Club, A.R. Kane, Lush, Ian McCulloch, Guy Chadwick and The Veldt. While the Cocteau Twins folded in 1997, Guthrie forged ahead, continuing to produce, and also collaborating with artists like the late Harold Budd (including their score for the 2004 film Mysterious Skin), John Foxx, Mark Gardener among others. In addition, Guthrie has also led a prolific and engaging career all his own, and speaking of, he's back after a 9 year absence with both an EP ('Mockingbird Love') and a full-length album ('Pearldiving') both of which showcase his inimitable, ethereal and emotive sound through evocative instrumentals. In today's interview, Guthrie discusses why he's been away for so long, why he decided to put out two releases so close together, his creative process and signature sound, his memories of working with Harold Budd, the legacy and influence of The Cocteau Twins, and much more. So take a listen, and be sure to stick around afterwards when I'll be playing 'Oceanaire' off the new album. Click here to listen on Apple Podcasts, and click here to listen on Spotify.

    Last year we lost Harold Budd. And now, just six months later, we lose another icon in Jon Hassell.  It's nearly impossible to overstate his importance in shaping an entirely new sound, what he would call Fourth World music. His music has influenced scores of musicians and listeners. I've included a lot of Hassell's music in mixes over the years. And, considering he just released a fine album last year, I expected to be featuring his music in mixes for many more years. This mix is not an overview of his career. It's a collection of tracks that fit together well, starting with a track from the little known Million Dollar Hotel soundtrack, all the way to the final track, Last Night the Moon Came, which sounds like a good finishing cut. I wish I could say something eloquent or profound about Jon Hassell and his music, but I'm not that type of writer. I let the music speak for itself and, wow, did his music speak to me and many others. I will miss him.  Thanks for all your great music, Jon.   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00    Jon Hassell Gregg Arreguin Jamie Muhoberac Peter Freeman - AM (The Million Dollar Hotel 200) 05:52    Brian Eno & Jon Hassell - Chemisty (Fourth World 1 Possible Musics 1980) 11:06    Jon Hassell - Cool Down Coda (Seeing Through Sound 2020) 12:25    Jon Hassell - Empire I (Aka/Darbari/Java - Magic Realism 1982) 13:52    Jon Hassell - Sundown Dance (Earthquake Island 1979) 18:09    Jon Hassell - Air (Power Spot 1986) 23:09    Jon Hassell - Malay (Dream Theory In Malaya 1981) 29:36    Jon Hassell - Out of Adedara (City: Works of Fiction 1990) 33:55    Jon Hassell - Map of Dusk (Myths 3 1987) 35:10    Jon Hassell - Timeless (Seeing Through Sound 2020) 42:44    Jon Hassell - Maarifa Street (Maarifa Street: Magic Realism, Vol. 2 2005) 49:32    Jon Hassell - These Times (Dream Theory In Malaya 1981) 51:23    Jon Hassell - Last Hight the Moon Came (Last Night The Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes In The Street 2009) 62:15    end

In this episode, we welcome the excellent Nick Coleman into RBP's snug virtual cupboard. Barney, Mark & Jasper quiz Nick about his distinctively personal music writing for the NME, Time Out and the Indie on Sunday, with especial reference to his 1986 interview with jazz-soul siren Anita Baker. This leads seamlessly to discussion of his terrific 2017 tome Voices: How a Great Singer Can Change Your Life, as well as to the harrowing experience of hearing loss that inspired 2012's The Train in the Night.In this episode, it was impossible to ignore the death of monstrous megalomaniac and murderer Phil Spector. After hearing a chilling audio clip of him speaking to Roy Carr in 1975, Nick and his hosts attempt to separate the man from the visionary architect of the "Wall Of Sound". (Now a certified psychotherapist, Nick compares Spector's narcissistic personality disorder to that of Donald Trump, who finally vacated the White House the day before this recording.) We also bid farewell to Ed "Duke Bootee" Fletcher, whose lyric for 'The Message' made rap superstars of Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five and played a huge part in the birth of "conscious hip hop".Somewhat less megalomaniacal than Spector is Miles Copeland III, whose rapid-fire voice we hear in audio clips from 1989. The man who seemed fated to follow in his dad's C.I.A. footsteps tells John Tobler how bankruptcy made him switch from Wishbone Ash to Wayne County – and how he launched I.R.S. Records as a home for R.E.M., the Go-Go's and Fine Young Cannibals.Finally, Mark talks us through his highlights among the 100+ new arrivals in the RBP library, including Dan Nooger reviewing our previous podcast guest John Simon live at Max's Kansas City in 1972; Mary Harron explaining U.K. punk to her U.S. readers in 1977; and Deanne Stillman reporting on America's enduring heavy-metal subculture in 1991. Jasper concludes matters with passing remarks on avant-jazz enigma Albert Ayler and the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest, staged in the tiny Irish town of Millstreet…Many thanks to special guest Nick Coleman; The Train in the Night and Voices are published by Penguin.The Rock's Backpages podcast is part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.Pieces discussed: Donald Fagen, Anita Baker, How to be Keef, Phil Spector audio, Phil Spector, Phil Spectorer, Phil Spectorest, Miles Copeland audio, Herb Alpert, U.K. punk, Blondie, Heavy Metal Mania, Bob Dylan, John Simon, Al Green, CDs vs LPs, Harold Budd, Midlake, Marc Zermati, Ant & Dec, Albert Ayler and the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest.

50 episodes! Kathryn & Tug celebrate this milestone with a bottle of Champagne. Plus, the holiday season is made for bubbles! Many producers in the Champagne region of France are focused on a “house style” but there's a growing interest in organic farming and terroir-driven wines. Kathryn explains the proper way to open a bottle of bubbles. The couple shares updates in their lives including house-hunting in Los Angeles. Tug is inspired by local musician Harold Budd, who recently passed. Kathryn shares love for an essay by Brian Doyle. And the Wine of the Week is the JM Sélèque ‘Solessance' Champagne NV.

    2020, you unrelenting bastard. Now you've taken Harold Budd from us. An icon in ambient music. There's not much I can say right now except that I love his music. I have about 25 albums by Harold Budd. His music has been with me for more than 40 years. When I heard the news I knew the only tribute I could do was a mix. So here it is an hour-long mix that barely scratches the surface of his output. Godspeed Harold, your music remains in our ears and on the wind.   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00    Harold Budd & Brian Eno - Wind In Lonely Fences 03:39    Harold Budd - Ice Floes In Eden 06:51    Harold Budd & Brian Eno - An Echo Of Night 08:53    Harold Budd & John Foxx - Coming Into Focus 13:15    Harold Budd - As Long As I Can Hold My Breath 20:07    Harold Budd & Zeitgeist - Emboldened-My Dreams Perish 22:16    Harold Budd - Tong War 27:40    Harold Budd - The Serpent in Quicksilver 31:00    Harold Budd - The Radiant Bride 34:33    Harold Budd - Sandtreader 39:32    Harold Budd - Down the Slopes to the Meadow 46:54    Harold Budd - Bismillahi 'Rrahman 'Rrahim 56:40    Harold Budd - Mars And The Artist 58:10    Harold Budd - The Pearl 61:04    Harold Budd - Olancha Farewell 63:20    end        

    Off-kilter, strange, a bit askew, weird, oblique - are all ways to describe this mix. It's a little creepy too which makes for a perfect mix for Spooky Season. To create a Halloween mix it would be easy to grab some dark, dissonant ambient but as I've said before I'm not a dark ambient fan. So I went for the same feel I have used in the past - tunes that are a bit off-center. Tunes that make you think of midnight, distant headlights in the fog, street lamps and cigarette smoke. I hope you enjoy the mix and play it during dias de los muertos.
