"The Expanding Universe" (1973-1980) - Laurie Spiegel

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/strategy/ American producer @strategydickow steps up to contribute the 382nd edition of the IA MIX Series delivering a stunning chill-out and downtempo podcast for expansive headphone listening. Across a 20-plus year career, and as many releases, Paul Dickow operates at the crossroads of ambient, dub, and electronica. His most recent Strategy album, 'The Wet Room', his 20th album to date, was released in November 2023 via Community Library, the label Paul co-runs with David Chandler. It feels both timeless and of its time, fusing elements of climate anxiety with a heady aura of leftfield sonics. Throughout his discography, Strategy has collaborated with esteemed labels including Kranky, 100% Silk, and Peak Oil, among others, as well as operating his own Community Library imprint, for an output as vast and varied as it is consistently stellar. He's as comfortable crafting hardware-focused, DIY techno as he is spinning long form experimental suites. Strategy's mix is as wide-ranging, unpredictable, and eclectic as his music, spanning Humpbacks, Seefeel, Laurie Spiegel, and Strategy himself. It's an ideal soundtrack for expansive headphone listening or the strangest, grooviest pool party in the neighbourhood. In addition to the mix, we asked Paul all about his history, the Portland music scene, and tour memories.

Auch in diesem Jahr sprechen wir zum Internationalen Frauentag über Frauen aus der Popgeschichte, die bislang viel zu wenig Beachtung bekommen haben. Mit dieser Spezialfolge wollen wir das ändern. Zu Gast bei Katharina Heinius ist die ehemalige Lucilectric-Sängerin Luci van Org. Nachdem es im letzten Spezial zum Internationalen Frauentag einen Rundumschlag gab zu Frauen, die in den Geschichtsbüchern zu kurz gekommen sind, wie Blueserfinderin Ma Rainey, Rock'n'Roll-Erfinderin Rosetta Tharpe oder Sylvia Robinson, die den ersten kommerziell erfolgreichen Hip-Hop-Song überhaupt produziert hat ("Rapper's Delight" von der Sugarhill Gang) geht es dieses Mal um die Pionierinnen der elektronischen Musik. Auch in diesem Jahr ist Musikerin, Produzentin, Songwriterin, Autorin und Schauspielerin Luci van Org wieder mit dabei und spricht mit SWR1 Musikredakteurin Katharina Heinius über großartige Frauen der Musikgeschichte. Für Luci van Org gibt es einen ganz besonderen Punkt, der sie an elektronischer Musik fasziniert: "Die Möglichkeit, autark ganze Musikstücke zu kreieren. Das ist gerade für Frauen ganz wichtig gewesen, weil [...] es gab immer Männer, die versucht haben, dir zu sagen, was du zu tun und zu lassen hast und wie du es zu machen hast. Und an so einem Rechner kannst du einfach sitzen und selbst bestimmen, wie etwas klingt [...]." Das ermächtigt die Musikerinnen und auch Musiker natürlich dazu unabhängiger von anderen zu werden. Wer möchte, kann durch diese Technik alle Rollen, die es beim Musikmachen auszuführen gibt, selber ausführen. Egal, ob Komponistin, Produzentin und auch ausführende Künstlerin. Die Anfänge der elektronischen Musik beginnen weitaus früher, als man vielleicht denkt, nämlich schon in den 1920er Jahren mit dem Theremin. Wie dieses obskure Instrument gespielt wird, das erklärt Musikerin Luci van Org, die selbst stolze Theremin-Besitzerin ist, im Meilensteine Podcast. Über das Theremin meint sie "Menschen, die Theremin spielen, wirken immer ein bisschen wie in einer Séance. Die halten die Hände in der Luft und machen seltsame Gesten." Und die erste große Theremin-Virtuosin war, die eigentlich als Violinistin ausgebildete Konzertgeigerin, Clara Rockmore. Die hat eine ganz besondere Technik erfunden, um das Instrument zu beherrschen. Dr. Who ist eine der bekanntesten Fernsehserien aller Zeiten und auch eine der Serien, die es schon am längsten gibt. 1963 startete die Serie und auch heute werden noch neue Folgen produziert. Und im Intro der Science-Fiction-Serie gab es schon 1963 elektronische Musik, gespielt von der Mathematikerin Delia Derbyshire auf Synthesizern. Bis zur "Dr. Who"-Serie war elektronische Musik ganz und gar nicht "in aller Munde", wie man so schön sagt, sondern es wurde immer eher verächtlich darauf geschaut, da elektronische Musik "kein Herz und keine Seele" habe. Heute wird ganz anders auf elektronische Musik geblickt und für diesen Wandel ist auch Delia Derbyshire und ihre Titelmelodie zu "Dr. Who" verantwortlich. Auch deshalb zählt sie für das Musikmagazin "Musikexpress" zu den "100 wichtigsten Frauen im Pop". Eine der ersten elektronischen Kompositionen aus einem Computer kommen von der US-Amerikanerin Laurie Spiegel. Mit Lochkarten, Klaviatur, Joystick und Tasten komponierte sie 1974 ihren Song "Appalachian Grove 1", mit dem sie die Melodien in die vorher avantgardistische, elektronische Musik brachte und dadurch auch mehr Gefühl. Während wir elektronische Musik (theoretisch) heute mit dem Laptop gemütlich von der Couch aus machen können, war der Computer, mit dem Laurie Spiegel Musik gemacht hat, so groß wie ein Wohnzimmer, unglaublich teuer und stand in einer Forschungseinrichtung. Laurie Spiegel komponierte aber nicht nur Musik auf dem Computer, sondern sie hat mit "Music Mouse" auch eines der ersten Computerprogramme zum Musik machen programmiert. __________ Shownotes SWR1 Meilensteine Folge zu "Sports" von Huey Lewis and The News: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/swr1-meilensteine/huey-lewis-and-the-news-sports/swr1/94770170/ Spezialfolge zum Internationalen Frauentag 2023: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/swr1-meilensteine/spezialfolge-zum-internationalen-frauentag-2023/swr1/12436977/ SWR1 Leute mit Luci van Org: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/swr1-leute/mehr-starke-frauen-in-einer-maennerdominierten-welt/swr1/13104787/ Clara Rockmore spielt das Theremin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=pSzTPGlNa5U ARTE-Doku über "verkannte Heldinnen der elektronischen Musik: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/104017-000-A/sisters-with-transistors-die-verkannten-heldinnen-der-elektronischen-musik/ Demo von Music Mouse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-mmEvGOopk SWR Artikel zu Luci van Org: https://www.swr.de/swr1/swr1leute/luci-van-org-lucilectric-cross-media-kunstlerin-100.html Künstlerseite zum Projekt "Luciana Soteira" von Luci van Org: https://www.laetitium.de/artists/lucina-soteira/ __________ Über diese Songs wird im Podcast gesprochen (08:04) – “The Swan” von Clara Rockmore (17:45) – “Dr. Who Titelmelodie” von Delia Derbyshire (33:02) – “Appalachian Grove 1” von Laurie Spiegel (40:40) – “Three Sonic Spaces” von Laurie Spiegel (41:32) – “Offen” von Meystersinger (43:18) – “Tempel” von Lucina Soteira __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Siempre me ha intrigado la ausencia de mujeres compositoras en la música en general y también, lógicamente, en la música electrónica en particular. Las artes en general parecen ser cosa de hombres, supongo que por arrastrar prejuicios culturales que relegaban a la mujer a papeles secundarios o simplemente porque las labores prominentes eran desempeñadas habitualmente por hombres. En nuestro canal de Telegram, Oriol mencionó que sería interesante hacer un episodio especial dedicado a las mujeres pioneras en la música electrónica y la verdad es que me la idea me apeteció mucho. Investigando un poco van saliendo nombres que se merecen un reconocimiento y que han jugado un papel destacado en el desarrollo de los precoces instrumentos electrónicos. Su música a menudo es más una amalgama de sonidos experimentales donde se juega con el tono, el timbre o la frecuencia, en lugar de crear una "música bonita", así que os advierto: haremos un ejercicio de arqueología musical, muy interesante para las mentes curiosas y abiertas a conocer en perspectiva aquellos inciertos origenes, para escuchar composiciones extrañas y de difícil comprensión entre otras más amigables. Hoy retrocederemos en el tiempo para rendir un homenaje a algunas de las mujeres pioneras en la música electrónica. Lisa Bella Donna, Johanna M. Beyer, Else Marie Pade, Delia Derbyshire, Pauline Oliveros, Wendy Carlos, Éliane Radigue, Pril Smiley, Suzanne Ciani, Daphne Oram, Constance Demby, Laurie Spiegel, Laurie Anderson, Pauline Anna Strom, Doris Norton, Elsa Stansfield.

Die US-amerikanische Komponistin und Programmiererin Laurie Spiegel wird mit dem Giga-Hertz-Preis für ihr Lebenswerk ausgezeichnet. Sie komponierte bereits in den 1970ern mit Algorithmen, ihre Musik wurde mit der Raumsonde Voyager ins All geschossen, und sie schrieb auch für die „Tribute von Panem“. Als Elektronik-Pionierin überzeugte sie die Welt davon, dass Computer-Musik auch gefühlvoll sein kann.

Vancouver artist Kristen Roos' Universal Synthesizer Interface Vol II celebrates algorithmic Music Making In a realm where magic and technology intertwined, Kristen Roos was a renowned adventurer. Armed with her trusty sword and enchanted armour, she set out on a quest to conquer the treacherous world of Diablo I. Little did she know, her journey would transcend the boundaries of the virtual realm. As she battled demons and explored labyrinthine dungeons, whispers of her exploits reached the ears of We Are Busy Bodies, a secret guild of mystical beings. Impressed by her valour, they summoned her to their hidden sanctuary. There, they bestowed upon Kristen ancient scrolls and enchanted melodies, enhancing her skills and infusing her weapons with arcane power. With her newfound abilities, she became a legendary warrior, feared by demons and revered by her fellow adventurers. Kristen Roos, the champion of Diablo I, now stood as a beacon of hope, protecting the realm from the forces of darkness. Her name would forever be etched in the annals of tales of that time, a symbol of courage and determination. Kristen Roos' The album pays homage to the early era of algorithmic music making, inspired by vintage software. Roos stumbled upon Laurie Spiegel's 'Music Mouse' on a Commodore Amiga floppy disk, a groundbreaking MIDI sequencer from 1985. Intrigued by its simplicity, Roos delved further into this 'first wave' of music software development. Vol II of Universal Synthesizer Interface focuses on two personal favourites: 'Music Mouse' and Frank Balde's 'Diablo.' The album showcases the interaction between repeating loops, forming vast tapestries of sound. Roos spent over a year studying, experimenting, and collaborating with software creators to craft this musical journey. The album's released on We Are Busy Bodies..

En la quinta emisión de Mensajes del río parlante nuestro anfitrión Guillermo García Pérez revisa el catálogo de Unseen Worlds, sello discográfico independiente que entre sus pequeñas joyas ha editado parte de la obra de autores fuera de serie como el pianista ucranicano Lubomyr Melnyk; el compositor texano Blue Gene Tiranny; o la compositora Laurie Spiegel, esta última autora legendaria de Harmony of the Worlds pieza emblemática que fue comisionada por el mismísimo Carl Sagan para ser parte del Disco de Oro, que viaja con las sondas espaciales Voyager lanzadas en 1977, y que ahora mismo, se encuentran más allá de las órbitas de Plutón. 

Recorded at e-flux before the launch of Dorit Chrysler's album, Calder Plays Theremin, on February 23, 2023. The conversation with Sanna Almajedi is followed by an excerpt from Dorit's live performance. The album Calder Plays Theremin is a co-release by the NY Theremin Society and Fridman Gallery, and can be ordered on Bandcamp. The album is based on a sound piece commissioned by The Museum of Modern Art in conjunction with the exhibition Alexander Calder: Modern from the Start. For the piece, Chrysler identified two of Alexander Calder's sculptures, Snow Flurry, I (1948) and Man-Eater with Pennants (1945), to interact and “play” multiple theremins on site.  Dorit Chrysler is a Berlin-based composer and sound artist, and co-founder of the NY Theremin Society. Her work explores new applications of the theremin in various forms. Chrysler was awarded the Austrian State Stipend in Composition 2023 and earned her Master's Degree of Musicology in Vienna. She has performed worldwide, and written for film and the theater. Chrysler's compositions have been collected by the Guggenheim and Moderna Museet, and presented at MoMA, the Venice Biennale, and Klang Fest. Chrysler has collaborated with the San Francisco Symphony, CERN, Laurie Spiegel, Herb Deutsch, Elliot Sharp, Trentemøller, Alva Noto, and Gaite Lyrique. She produced a ten-piece orchestra performance for the LA Disney Hall, and is the founder of Dame Electric, a festival featuring female pioneers of electronic music. Her recordings appear on over twenty releases by labels such as InMyRoomRecords (DE), The Prurience Factory (US), Monika Enterprise (DE), PlagDichNicht (AU), PlasticTray Records (US), and Mute.

The Interview: Peter Mendelsund began his career as a concert pianist, and reinvented himself as a graphic designer, now creative director, almost by accident. He came to book design—first as a reader, then as an independent bookstore employee, and ultimately, as a book cover designer, which he practiced full time at PenguinRandom House. He is presently the Creative Director of The Atlantic, and in his spare time, he writes novels, the second of which, The Delivery, is currently out on hardcover from FSG. For The Interview in this episode, J.C. Gabel talks with Mendelsund about his last nonfiction book, The Look of the Book: Jackets, Covers & Art at the Edges of Literature, published by Ten Speed Press, which he co-authored with literary scholar David Alworth. What began as a Harvard lecture has become a gorgeous coffee table book examining the artwork of book cover design through the modern age; it is an overview of trends, insights, and back stories, many told through other voices from the literary and design worlds. It is also an invaluable tool for anyone interested in book jacket design and its rich and colorful history. The Reading: Peter Mendelsund reads from his latest novel, The Delivery (FSG) Music by Laurie Spiegel

While the history of electronic music includes many notable men whose stories have been frequently celebrated, the genre has also provided a space for a wide range of extraordinary women to create a musical room of their own. Working with machines meant being able to sidestep many of the hurdles that stood in the way of women aspiring to a musical career, such as access to orchestras, commissions and concert halls, and an over-riding failure to be taken seriously by the male musical gate-keepers. Elizabeth Alker examines the connections between early pioneers such as Eliane Radigue and Daphne Oram (who gained access to studios thanks to the second world war), those musicians who followed in their immediate wake such as Suzanne Ciani and Laurie Spiegel, and today's generation of female composers. Anna Meredith, Holly Herndon, Afrodeutsche and JLin all speak with Elizabeth about their own work and the debt they owe their predecessors. Central to the story is the composer and academic Pauline Oliveros, who founded the San Francisco Tape Music Centre, and whose theories around deep-listening as a feminist act shape so much of the texture of the music created by the women and men who followed her. This is music, Elizabeth argues, which has an emphasis on tone and texture. This lends it a particular quality making it both distinct from its male equivalent and also profoundly beautiful and rich.

“There was more resistance to the fact I was using computers than to the fact that I was a woman doing music”Una donna che fa musica con i computer, una perfetta ricetta per la discriminazione.

Born in Russia, in 1911, at four, she was accepted as the youngest ever violin student at the St. Petersburg Imperial Conservatory. As conditions deteriorated after the Revolution, the Reisenberg family left Russia and travelled across Europe for several years until 1921 when they succeeded in gaining passage on a steamship bound for America. In New York, Clara resumed her studies with Leopold Auer, but shortly before she was to make her American debut (playing the Beethoven Concerto), she developed an arthritic problem with her bow arm, and had to give up the violin.Fortunately, she had met Leon Theremin (an Americanisation of Lev Termen, as he was known in Russia), the inventor of the world's first electronic instrument. “I was fascinated by the aesthetic part of it, the visual beauty, the idea of playing in the air,” Clara recalled, “and I loved the sound. I tried it, and apparently showed some kind of immediate ability to manipulate it. Soon Lev Sergeyevich gave me, for a present, the RCA model theremin.”She convinced Leon Theremin to build her a far more precise and responsive instrument than the RCA model, one with a five-octave range, instead of three. Over the years she performed extensively but it was not until 1977 that she saw the release of her first commercial LP, performances with Nadia Reisenberg (recorded by Robert Moog) titled ‘The Art Of The Theremin'.In 1989, Steve M. Martin, long fascinated by the instrument, embarked upon the documentary Theremin - An Electronic Odyssey, a film including some of Clara's last public performances (videotaped at a 1989 Nadia Reisenberg tribute concert in Merkin Hall), and the New York reunion of Clara and Leon Theremin (then aged 95). Premiered in New York at Alice Tully Hall, the film in large measure revitalised interest in both the theremin itself and Clara Rockmore's unique accomplishments. She died in 1998.Cyril Lance BiogCyril Lance is the Chief Technical Officer at Moog Music and lead designer of the Moog Claravox Centennial Theremin. Cyril first met Bob Moog in January 2005 during an informal visit to Moog factory.  When Bob was diagnosed with cancer in April of 2005, Cyril was asked to come up and take over the engineering effort.  Since then, Cyril has been at the helm of engineering and product development and, along with the dedicated and passionate team at Moog Music, has helped to continue Moog's legacy of designing and producing beautifully crafted electronic instruments aimed at inspiring artists world-wide to explore and expand their personal sonic vocabularies.  Cyril strives daily to continue Bob Moog's legacy and to have a lot of fun along the way.  “It's truly a blessing to have the opportunity to contribute in one small-way to the transformative powers of music to bring joy and connect people on the deepest levels through-out the world”.https://www.moogmusic.com/Dorit Chrysler BiogDorit Chrysler has been dubbed a superior wizard of the theremin. An Austrian-born, New York based composer and performer, Chrysler is the co-founder of the NY Theremin Society and started the first international school for Theremin, KidCoolThereminSchool and L'Ecole Theremine with branches in NY and Paris. She is also one of the most visible Thereminists spreading the gospel of this mysterious sounding instrument. Most recently she finished her analog soundtrack for a remake of “M” by Fritz Lang and was featured on the soundtrack of the HBO documentary “Going Clear”. Chrysler received her master's degree of musicology in Vienna and has notably collaborated with Anders Trentemøller, Cluster, Adult., CERN, Carsten Nicolai, Elliot Sharp and Laurie Spiegel. She has performed with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, had her work commissioned by MoMA and the Venice Biennale, and is the founder of “Dame Electric,” a festival dedicated to female | pioneers in Analog Music. As the director of the NY Theremin Society, Chrysler is promoting the application of theremin in different art disciplines and has produced the THEREMIN100 compilation release, commemorating the 100th birthday of the Theremin in 2020.http://www.doritchrysler.com/toc.htmlhttps://www.nythereminsociety.org/Bruce Woolley BiogIn 1969 Bruce Woolley bought a Futurama electric guitar, formed a school band, and dreamed of being a professional musician. After years of experimentation, and unsuccessful attempts at becoming a famous jazz-rock guitarist, he decided to concentrate on writing pop songs. In 1979 he co-wrote “Video Killed the Radio Star”.  After a stint fronting cult New Wave unit The Camera Club, Woolley moved back into songwriting and production, forming a creative partnership with Grace Jones. In 1994, Woolley discovered Exotica and formed The Radio Science Orchestra, a theremin-led group that defined retrofuturism before people were talking about retrofuturism. A sonic time machine travelling along the whole history of electronic music, the Orchestra has collaborated with the world's leading theremin virtuosi including Lydia Kavina, Carolina Eyck and Charlie Draper. Notable guest artists include Grace Jones, Polly Scattergood, Ken Hollings, Dr. Robert Moog, Steve Dub and Thomas Dolby.http://www.brucewoolleyhq.com/https://www.radioscienceorchestra.com/Katia Isakoff BiogKatia Isakoff is a composer and multi-instrumentalist music producer whose compositions, performances and productions first appeared in the Add N To (X) album Loud Like Nature (Mute Records).  She has since collaborated on numerous albums and projects including John Foxx and Steve D'Agostino's Evidence of Time Travel which was composed and produced at her London studio. Having contributed synths and co-mixed EOTT, she went on to join them for a live concert performance at Electri_City Conference Dusseldorf, adding Moog Theremini and synths to the sonic architecture of this ever evolving and expansive Karborn graphic novel, which premiered with a live performance at the British Film Institute UK and Sonic Acts Festival, Amsterdam.  She has since spent much of her time between London and Berlin working on her forthcoming album She's Not Here.In 2019, Katia launched !N_K o L // B a new and innovative composer producer series bringing together pioneering, established and emerging composer producers to collaborate in various iconic studios and pop-up locations. Each series sees a new guest pioneer and group joining her; together, they embark on the journey of making an album through improvisation and exploration of the studio as an instrument, building a global network through musical collaborations – one album and city at a time.The first IN_KoLAB series was hosted by British Grove Studios. The group spent two days recording and filming what would become an immersive four-movement quadrophonic piece called IN_KoLAB Making Waves with Suzanne Ciani.  The album and accompanying short will be released in 2021 and plans are in motion for the next series.https://www.katiaisakoff.com/ | https://inkolab.orgCaro C BiogCaro C is an artist, engineer and teacher specialising in electronic music.

Sound is a portal. It can shape how we perceive our environment, call our attention or create cognitive dissonance. Artists Anne Hardy and Aura Satz are particularly attuned to the workings of sound or noise, working with it as a material. Aura Satz is interested in sonic notation and electronic soundscapes from feminist and historical perspectives. Anne Hardy is particularly interested in the relationship between space and sound, and how sound creates spaces in the same way that light creates form. Both artists participated in DRAF’s Resonant Frequencies Programme, which was an investigation into sound and hearing in all its forms through peer-to-peer workshop sessions. This episode also contains extracts of sound pieces:Anne Hardy,The Depth of Darkness, the Return of the Light (2019) (from 18:33), originally made for the Winter Commission at Tate Britain.anne-hardy.co.ukAura Satz, Dail Tone Drone (2014) which uses the electronic dial tone of telephones as a starting point for a discussion with electronic music pioneers Pauline Oliveros and Laurie Spiegel about drones and their use in music (from 36:55).iamanagram.com Want to hear more from artists about their research?

In the current era of festivals that curate their line-ups adhering to gender equality policies, 'me-too' social campaigns and a booming feminist literature, we decided to pay tribute to female music dedicating an entire episode to the female pioneers of electronic music, following their works with those of their contemporary successors, revealing an accurate fil rouge that connects the two generations.

Recently — and by chance — we purchased two american compilations on vinyl, one entitled ‘10+2: 12 American Text Sound Pieces’ (1975) and the other ‘New Music for Electronic and Recorded Media: Women In Electronic Music’ (1977). While the first record is focused on american sound poetry, the second one is a careful introduction to the heroines of mid Seventies electronic music milieu. After this coincidental buy we discovered that both records were published by 1750 Arch Records, an American avant-garde music label, founded in the sixties in the homonymous recording / archival studio located at 1750 Arch Street, Berkeley, California. The episode features: Aram Saroyan, Laurie Spiegel, Beth Anderson, Ruth Anderson, John Giorno, Megan Roberts, Clark Coolidge, Pauline Oliveros, John Cage, Johanna M. Beyer, Anthony Gnazzo, Laurie Anderson, Charles Dodge, Annea Lockwood and Charles Amirkhanian.

With 5G technology moving out of the lab and into the marketplace, the transport network must evolve in alignment with the 5G radio access and core networks. Now is the time for those transport networks to come out of the shadows and into the limelight. Listen to Ericsson expert Shane McClelland outline the requirements for transport in a fast-moving and synchronized network evolution to 5G.

On today’s podcast, we celebrate some of the pioneers of early electronic ambient music, with the help of a long-time contributor, Fingers in the Noise. Here are all of the first explorations into the then unnamed genre, sometimes referred to as avant-garde, new-music, or simply electronic music. Pictured for the cover art of this mix is Laurie Spiegel, an American composer, who, while working in Bell Laboratories in the early 70s, composed with analog synthesizers using interactive software she wrote herself. Some of this music is hard to come by, with the early experiments a bit difficult to digest, so I thank Laurent Bisch for his wonderful selection of tracks for this very special tribute.

Knowing how a piece of classical music came to be is often a bit of a guessing game. What inspired Bach to write the Goldberg Variations, or Beethoven to write his 9th Symphony? Context clues, letters, composers’ notes help us put the story together; we fill in the rest with our imaginations and mythology. But no more! In this episode of Classical Classroom, you’ll hear the entire story of a piece of modern classical music, Music for Wood and Strings, from commission to performance. Even the instruments on which the piece is played didn’t exist before this story began. You’ll meet composer Bryce Dessner (The National), instrument maker Aron Sanchez (Buke and Gase), and the members of So Percussion. You’ll hear a lot of awesome music. You’ll laugh! You’ll cry. Your life will be affirmed. But seriously, it’s a compelling (and thoroughly American) story about ingenuity, modernist music, and most importantly, joy.          Music in this episode: Music for Wood and Strings. Bryce Dessner. Played by So Percussion. “Don’t Swallow the Cap.” The National, from the album Trouble Will Find Me. “Seam Esteem.” Buke and Gase. So-Called Laws of Nature. David Lang. Played by So Percussion. Appalachian Grove I. Laurie Spiegel. Audio production by Todd “Tex” Hulslander with giddyups from Dacia Clay and editing by Mark DiClaudio.

Our next episode is yet again a unique, one-off installment showcasing a veteran of the New York techno scene and a man who during the early 90s pioneered and helped push the sound of this city out to the world, STEVE STOLL. This exclusive mix is a brief overview of his label, Proper NYC, in order to commemorate its 20th anniversary. Steve wanted to dedicate this journey to his friend and producer, Vincent Capuano (V1NZ), who is no longer with us, as well as the artwork featured here to Pete Namlook, which was taken from his latest album, Zero Point Crossings, on Fax Records. This a one-of-a-kind contribution, trailing the old-school, the minimal, and the raw, pure techno sound coming out of Proper NYC during the 90s. We are very grateful to be able to showcase this and we thank Steve for taking time out of parenthood and the American Midwest (where he and his family reside currently), to bring us this piece of frozen time. At last, we strongly suggest you check his latest album, Praxis, released this past January on Psychonavigation, which is a superlative ambient composition spanning 16 tracks and dedicated to the work of the following 3 electronic pioneers – Daphne Oram, Delia Derbyshire, and Laurie Spiegel. This is Steve Stoll live (recorded in one take exclusively for Erratic) celebrating 20 Years of Proper NYC. Enjoy! TRACKLIST 01. Steve Stoll - Praxis - Psychonavigation 02.

"In 1913 Futurist Luigi Russolo developed several noise machines, which he named ‘intonarumori’. In his manifesto, The Art of Noise, Russolo argued that musical instruments could no longer satisfy man's thirst for sounds. Almost 100 years later, people are still exploring the possibilities of sound. This is what I tried to capture in this mix - testing the limits of sound, from shrieking highs to almost imperceptible lows, finding new ways of interpreting and portraying life through the medium of sound. Despite including over 100 artists, the mix by no means represents a completist viewpoint; so many perhaps important artists in the development of 'noise' were left out. It was not my intention to do a 'who's who' of noise music, but rather to show how the exploration of sound has developed over time and how fascinating these explorations are. I did at times take into account the historical significance of the piece/artist when choosing tracks, although I was steered mainly by what was sonically interesting to me. Well that's it - the mix should speak for itself. If you are interested in digging deeper please follow the links provided. Listen at maximum volume and enjoy."
