Not Drowning, Waving – Amaravot [Not Drowning, Waving Bandcamp] We’re starting with an Australian band who were really decades ahead of the ball with ambient pop, melding field recordings and live tapes with creative studio techniques, acoustic instrumentation, effects and electronics. Because of David Bridie‘s soft voice and slice-of-life lyrics, I feel Not Drowning, Waving were seen as less revolutionary than they really were – and yet when David released solo albums that emphasised songwriting over sonic creativity, the music media predictably celebrated his “maturity” and suchlike nonsense. I love David’s solo work, and the often-twee but always lovely work of the post-NDW acoustic ensemble My Friend The Chocolate Cake, but Not Drowning, Waving nevertheless hold a special significance. For many, their career higlight was the groundbreaking album Tabaran, much of which was recorded with musicians in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea including the remarkable vocalist Telek (now Sir George Telek MBE!). Their travels to PNG triggered the band’s strong sense of social justice, and they became tireless promoters of West Papuan independence. The song “Blackwater“, about the brutal suppression of independence for West Papua, is haunting and still as relevant today. Fast forward to now, and David Bridie & George Telek have been friends for more than half their lives. A concert performing Tabaran was put together early last year, celebrating 50 years of Papua New Guinean independence, and the band (including Telek) enjoyed being together so much that they created a whole album’s worth of new material. My dirty secret is that, despite the stunning highlights like “Blackwater”, I always preferred the albums before (Cold and the Crackle and Claim) and after it (Circus) in their catalogue because I wasn’t so into the Papuan stringband music. However, whether I’ve mellowed over the years (lol, lmao) or whatever it is, this new album feels wonderful from start to finish, and Telek is an integral member. What an achivement! I have no idea how it sounds to those who didn’t, to some extent, experience the band while they previously existed, but I hope they have an enduring legacy. On Diamond – It’s Me Calling [Eastmint Records/Bandcamp] Naarm/Melbourne’s On Diamond are the perfect example of indie pop done experimental. Frontwoman Lisa Salvo writes beautiful, touching songs that have slippery chord changes and deeply unusual arrangements created together by the band. Previous members, often involved in the more experimental end of Naarm’s music scene include the brilliant drummer/composer Maria Moles, drummer Joe Talia (who recorded & mixed the album), and guitarist/vocalist Hannah Cameron (who contributes backing vocals along with Aarti Jadu and others). Along with Salvo’s vocals, Jules Pascoe on bass, Myka Wallace on drums and Scott McConnachie on synths and those frequently demented guitar solos, the band itself now features the glittering harp of Genevieve Fry and the percussion of Australian legend Duré Dara, born in Malaysia to an Indian background, a celebrated restaurateur with Order of Austrlaia Medal as well as jazz musician and improvisor. That’s a loaded band, put in service of Salvo’s aforementioned songs, which take strange, sidelong looks at matters of grief, longing and the passing of time. In a better world we’d be hearing these songs on rotation all day, but you – yes you – have the power to fix that, in the palm of your hand. gushes – Game One [PTP/Switch Hit Records/Bandcamp] gushes – CUT [PTP/Switch Hit Records/Bandcamp] Trust PTP (aka Protect The Peace, fka Purple Tape Pedigree) to release one of the most bizarre & brilliant albums of the year (in conjunction with artist collective Switch Hit Records). Jennae Santos’ gushes presents an unrestrained amalgam of prog metal, psych rock, jazz & classical and electronic experimentation. But there’s more than just this: the album begins with voices talking in Tagalog, and influences from Indigenous Filipinx psychology and combat swirl around with land-sea ecologies, plant medicine and queer politics of decolonization… Delicious Collision is a fully-through-composed experimental rock opera, appropriately given Santos’ background (on top of everything else) in theatre, site-specific performance & dance. Agriculture – The Reply [The Flenser/Bandcamp] With The Flenser you know you’re going to expect dark, probably metal-adjacent music, and you know it’ll probably diverge from typical genre norms. Ecstatic black metal band Agriculture do indeed employ black metal’s tremolo guitars and blast beats to reach for altered states, but then the thunder gives way to a different kind of ecstasy at times – gorgeous harmonies and clean guitar? The last track on the album somehow combines it all together – blissful chugging blackgaze, and a fragile interlude of just voice and guitar. Channeling Zen Buddhism and social collapse alongside queer history & survival, The Spiritual Sound is easily among the albums of the year. sunn O))) – Raise the Chalice [Sub Pop/Bandcamp] So yeah, the southern lords of drone metal, sunn O))), have signed to Sub Pop, the little label that could. That’s the Sub Pop that was the centre of the Seattle sound, from Mudhoney & early Soundgarden to Nirvana – in fact Nevermind‘s profits, after their contract was bought out by Geffen, were what brought them back from early ’90s financial difficulties, and their (excellent) debut Bleach, which remained a Sub Pop release, was enough to keep the label chugging along for ages. The label pretty quickly expanded out of Seattle/grunge into all sorts of other areas, as diverse as Fleet Foxes, The Postal Service, and the greatest, Clipping. Still, the stentorian, rumbling noise of sunn O))) is an interesting step sideways, hopefully a great move for both parties. Their first EP for Sub Pop follows a 7″ (yes, two tracks under 6 minutes each!) back in 2023 for the Sub Pop Singles Club, but one side of this 12″ is the 14-minute “Eternity’s Pillars”, while the flip has 2 tracks each around 8 minutes – still pretty contained. The band for these tracks is the back-to-basics core duo of Greg “The Lord” Anderson and Stephen O’Malley, and the crushingly slow unison guitar/bass is by and large the totality of the sound, but I do love the disconcerting high-pitched flicker that rises through the last part of “Raise the Chalice”. Susannah Stark – Minor Gestures [Night School Records/Bandcamp/STROOM.tv/Bandcamp] When Utility Fog started back in 2003, folktronica was a genre of which I was very fond – but it was already pretty hazy as to what it was. Slightly glitchy hip-hop sampling acoustic instruments like Four Tet was what I thought, I guess, although when Tunng came on the scene literally later that year, it held a lot of similarity without quite being the same. And meanwhile The Books were doing studio-mediated music with acoustic instruments that somehow was something else entirely, despite arguably fitting the mould. So I love that in the years since, there have been untold different approaches to “folk” + “electronics”. On her new album Minor Gestures, Scottish musician Susannah Stark takes her Gaelic (Gàidhlig) folk music in experimental directions, which might involve drone passages on harmonium or modular synth, interpolated field recordings, or sample-based programming. The production touches only serve to heighten the sense of an arcane, otherworldly setting, as if being performed just out of sight or transmitted from a past-future. It’s quite a remarkable album. Haykal, Julmud, Acamol | هيكل، جلمود، أكامول – A'saab أعصاب [Bilna’es/Bandcamp] Cross-media artistic duo Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Ramme formed the record label & publishing platform Bilna’es along with producer Muqata’a as a space for artistic expression & criticism in Palestine & beyond. Along with the amazing productions of Muqata’a, a highlight was the 2022 solo album from Julmud, Tuqoos | طُقُوس. Now Julmud teams up with label founder Abbas, the latter under the name Acamol (Arabic for Panadol/paracetamol), along with Palestinian rapper Haykal on a new album Kam Min Janneh | كم من جنّة (How Many Heavens). The beats, produced by Julmud & Acamol separately & together, present a glitched version hip-hop drawn from the music & percussion of the MENA region, while Julmud & Haykal swap verses evoking the life of dispossession under occupation, colonization & genocide. It bears mentioning that while the killing continues in Gaza despite the so-called ceasefire, settlers continue to violently disrupt the lives of Palestinians in the West Bank with impunity – destroying property, beating and killing people and blocking access to their own land. In that context, this is a powerful work of resistance and solidarity (and some injections of humour). As I’m writing this late, you can read Emad Al Hatu’s excellent article on fbi.radio, as this was made album of the week at the beginning of November. Mohammad Reza Mortazavi – Zendegi [Latency/Bandcamp] Mohammad Reza Mortazavi – Silent [Latency/Bandcamp] French label Latency have no interest in following any kind of expectations – they’ll flip from chamber jazz to minimal techno to post-classical to percussive bass. In 2019 they released the album Ritme Jaavdanegi by Berlin-based, Iran-born percussionist Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, and now Mortazavi is back on Latency with his new album Nexus. The previous album showcased Mortazavi’s incredibly detailed and complex rhythms on traditional Persian instruments – the tombak and daf. On Nexus, Mortazavi’s playing is just as accomplished, but he extends the percussion with electronic effects and his own voice. The music is full of an otherworldly sensation, of suspension in time and place. There’s an incredible 25-minute remix by Ricardo Villalobos of the track “Swamp” from this album, coming out on December 5th – don’t miss it! IKI – Regenerate [IKI Bandcamp] IKI – Dance [IKI Bandcamp] It’s a sure bet that anything involving Danish singer Randi Pontoppidan is going to be something unique, challenging and beautiful. While she hasn’t been a member of Scandinavian vocal ensemble IKI since the beginning, she’s a perfect fit for IKI’s improvisational, electronically-mediated style. Pontoppidan joined Danish, Norwegian & Finnish singers Anna Mose, Guro Tveitnes, Johanna Sulkunen and Kamilla Kovacs four or five years ago, and BODY is their most intimate album. It can sound extremely electronic at times, but even at their most sharply edited & granulated, every sound comes from the voices of the five women. The recorded works reflect the group’s interest in how life extends past the body, and explores how the women become one organism when performing together. george-i & Older Brother – To Be A Man [GRACE/Bandcamp] Portugal-based MC Darius Rodrigues aka Older Brother has been working with London producer George Harris aka george-i for ages. Now the duo have finally come out with the Warm Skin EP on Berlin-based DJ Katiusha‘s label GRACE. And these four tracks of trip-hop-inflected bass music do walk with grace, holding Older Brother’s lyrics about the state of the world, and – on this closing track – seeking a new, post-patriarchy definition of maleness. Sun People – Herbie’s Delay [All Things Records] Austrian producer Sun People has released some creative and hard-hitting jungle & drum’n’bass that hybridizes with footwork and techno. His All Things Records provides an avenue for music of all kinds, so his new LP Look Within isn’t tied to any tempo – faster or slower than 160bpm, with a few beautifully-produced beatless tracks too. But as with “Herbie’s Delay”, there’s still some creative, syncopated jungle/d’n’b to be found too. Hyperfocus – Sentinel [Machinist Music/Bandcamp] For his fifth release (in two years!) on Canadian drum’n’bass master John Rolodex‘s Machinist Music label, Hyperfocus brings beats precision-tooled in the Machinist Music labs with evocative atmospheres and restless basslines. This is where the jungle revival bleeds back into the d’n’b mainstream, and I’m here for it. San – In Plain Sight [Rua Sound/Bandcamp] Appearing for a third time on Dublin jungle/bass label Rua Sound is Bristol’s San, a slightly mysterious individual who is apparently a techno producer working under a separate alias. This is dark stuff for haunting rave dancefloors and lying on your back with headphones on. Constantly changing cut-up breakbeats, deadly deep subs and spooky atmos, taking the cyberpunk ethos of mid-’90s drum’n’bass and applying it to contemporary jungle. POL100 – TRIBE [early reflex/Bandcamp] Turin’s early reflex label brings as usual cutting-edge experimental bass & club music as part of their Eyes series of two-track EPs. Here’s Italian producer POL100 mutating jungle and techno into strange new shapes – it’s half drumfunk and half electro maybe? Well worth your time. Hello Psychaleppo – Al Wa6an | الوطن [Fake Lines/Bandcamp] Joy Moughanni – I Can’t Seem to Find it At Home | مش عم لاقيه بالبيت [Fake Lines/Bandcamp] The first release from non-profit label Fake Lines has launched itself with a mega compilation – 36 tracks over 3 vinyl LPs – called Fake Lines: Sono Levant. It’s packed to the brim with excellent music, gregarious with genre – it may lean towards electronic music but there’s folk, hip-hop and rock of a sort. There’s an emphasis on Levant artists, but the tracklist also reaches further afield to other MENA countries and more. Montreal-based Syrian DJ Hello Psychaleppo contributes some stuttering samples and bass heft, while Lebanese producer Joy Moughanni combines jagged almost-rhythms and sound design to impressive effect. Lone – Ascension.png [Greco-Roman/Bandcamp] I’ve had an on-and-off relationship with Lone‘s music, but new single “Ascension.png” combines chromed cyberpunk and fuzzy vaporwave with jungle and rave bliss, and that makes a winner. Kelly Moran – Chrysalis [Warp/Bandcamp] A year and a half after releasing her last album, Moves in the Field, Kelly Moran returns to her more familiar territory of chiming prepared piano and electronics, with an album that’s complementary to last year’s. For Moves in the Field, Moran took her piano compositions and programmed them into a Disklavier, a physical piano that can be played via digital programming. So Moran was able to perform alongside her digital copy, with dazzling patterns climbing up and down the keyboard. On Don’t Trust Mirrors, the sound is more uncanny – synths and prepared piano melting into each other – but the performances are more clearly human. And those familiar with the previous album will hear echoes of those pieces throughout. Quartz Sand – Chemical Sedimentary (excerpt 2) [Flaming Pines/Bandcamp] I was lucky to get to see Kate Carr & Cath Roberts playing together at a gallery in Hoxton, London back in May. Carr is an Australian sound-artist who runs the impeccable Flaming Pines label and is one of our finest proponents of field recording, as well as music made from non-musical objects; Roberts is an improviser and composer who has been working with the Lyra-8 synthesizer, an “organismic” synthesizer, whose 8 voices interact in non-linear ways along with some effects. The duo’s name, “Quartz Sand”, suggests minerals and inorganic matter (quartz is silicon dioxide, perhaps the most basic inorganic molecule), and the idea of the album’s title, Stratigraphy, is to imply a vertical structure – rather than a typical horizontal time-based structure – as primary. But don’t be fooled: these two near-half-hour pieces aren’t static at all. It’s just that the action happens often between the crinkly, whistly high frequencies and the gurgling, grinding bottom end. It’s like listening to a cross-section of the earth’s crust – in a good way. Lea Bertucci – Two Way Mirror [Cibachrome Editions] It should be well-known and universally acknowledged now that Lea Bertucci is one of the best sound-artist/composers of the last decade and a half. Whether site-specific works exploring & exploiting – for instance – the resonance of a hollow bridge in Köln (2020’s Acoustic Shadows), myriad works live-processing her own saxophone and other instruments, or her work with reel-to-reel tape machines, she’s a master of her craft. Recent times have seen a number of incredible collaborations from Bertucci: in 2022, she operated tapes & electronics around Robbie Lee‘s baroque & medieval instruments on Winds Bells Falls, while on Murmurations, her tapes were as prominent, but she also brought various wind instruments and her voice to the table, next to Ben Vida‘s synths & voice; and on her tectonic collaboration in 2023 with Brisbane’s own Lawrence English, cello, viola and lap steel guitar emerge as well. Earlier this year Lawrence’s ROOM40 released an astounding work of Bertucci together with another masterful sound-artist, Olivia Block. So needless to say her new album The Oracle is a tour de force, engaging her many instruments, field recordings and, importantly, her own voice, all filtered through tape manipulation and digital processing. Only on the last track are percussionists from the Wesleyan University Taiko Ensemble enlisted for a booming – yet obscured – finale. Of course, it’s not just technially interesting or impressive (although it is those things) – it’s also music that will draw you in and move you, despite the vocals being twisted into non-textual shapes. It’ll easily be high on my albums of the year list for 2025. Alexandra Spence – Magenta (with Delphine Dora) [Students of Decay/Bandcamp] Back to Sydney to finish, Alexandra Spence is another brilliant sound-artist who works with field recordings and found objects to tell a story about place and memory. Her last two albums (from 2022) arose from a fascination with oceans and waterways; the scope is wider here, from mountains to backyards, but the ecological and geological also interact here with the personal. As well as recordings of places and non-musical objects, Spence (a clarinettist) here uses sounds from Serge Modular synths and a custom-built lyre, and on tonight’s track, Spence also brings in the voice and instrumentation of French composer & musician Delphine Dora.

Today, in honor of World Listening Day, we rebroadcast our story on renowned Australian sound composer, media artist and curator Lawrence English. This episode of gets deep into English's own listening practices as an artist, specifically a technique he calls Relational Listening. In fact, as you'll hear, he describes himself not as a sound maker but as a professional listener—that's how central the act of listening is to his artistic practice. In particular he talks about his reworking of an important work in the fields of musique concrète and field recording, Presque Rien by Luc Ferrari, and the recent premiere of Wave Fields, his own 12-hour durational sound installation for sleepers at Burleigh Heads in Queensland as part of the Bleach* Festival.

Today, in honor of World Listening Day, we rebroadcast our story on renowned Australian sound composer, media artist and curator Lawrence English. This episode of gets deep into English's own listening practices as an artist, specifically a technique he calls Relational Listening. In fact, as you'll hear, he describes himself not as a sound maker but as a professional listener—that's how central the act of listening is to his artistic practice. In particular he talks about his reworking of an important work in the fields of musique concrète and field recording, Presque Rien by Luc Ferrari, and the recent premiere of Wave Fields, his own 12-hour durational sound installation for sleepers at Burleigh Heads in Queensland as part of the Bleach* Festival.

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Lawrence English on the show. I've known Lawrence for almost two decades now, and I am in constant awe of his music, his drive, and the way he builds community through his work. A new collaboration with Akira Kosemura has my attention right now, but I know there's always something else lurking around the next corner. Our conversation is winding, vaguely on topic (and in the usual format), but we hit some high points with his love of anime, the power of Public Enemy to open windows, Merzbow's uplifting spirit, the surprise of Ace Frehley's solo album, Sakamoto bringing out the tears, and so much more!Listen to all of Lawrence's picks HERE (note that we didn't get to all these picks in the episode!)Lawrence English's WebsiteLawrence English & Akira Kosemura “Selene”Room 40Songs of Our Lives is a podcast series hosted by Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis that explores the music that's made us and left a certain mark.

Visnja Brdar's art motto is “The more nothing, the better”. She is one of this country's most internationally successful graphic designers, the child of Croatian migrants who took her solo agency from Melbourne to New York,  head-first into the competitive world of international branding -- and she's the subject of the first significant art survey of a female graphic designer in Australia, Visnja Brdar: Design Exalted at MUMA.Inner sanctum is the title of the 2024 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art. Rosa Ellen speaks with three of the artists taking part: Lawrence English, George Cooley, Ruha Fifita and curator Jose Da Silva.  The chamber music is ‘All Flesh is Fire', sung by the Adelaide Chamber Singers, composed by Anne Cawrse, conducted by Christie Anderson, recorded by Jakub Gaudasinski.

Thank you for listening to this track produced by the Art Gallery of South Australia. Join Adelaide Biennial artists Lawrence English, Jacobus Capone, Paul Knight and Tina Stefanou, facilitated by Peta Rake, Director, UQ Art Museum as they share insights about their work and explore what Inner Sanctum means to them.

Solénoïde (22.01.2024) - Si vous êtes un amateur de musiques visuelles et nomades, avide de découvrir les joyaux laissés par l'année 2023, ne manquez pas l'émission à venir qui promet une expérience sonore captivante ! En l'espace d'une cinquantaine de minutes, Solénoïde vous convie à la seconde partie de son bilan musical annuel, offrant un regard rétrospectif sur les temps forts des émissions diffusées lors des missions 225 à 230. Après une première partie étincelante, mêlant électronique, rock et néoclassique, ce deuxième volet explore un nouvel ensemble de 10 albums. Ces sélections, issues de nos émissions passées, reflètent la diversité et l'originalité de la scène musicale actuelle. Chacune de ces œuvres, parfois iconoclastes, dévoile des créations suggestives et atmosphériques, guidées par l'instinct de l'aventure sonore.

Solénoïde (23.10.2023) - Cette semaine, Solénoïde explore à nouveau le vaste territoire des musiques paysagistes et climatiques. La "Solénosphère 27" vous entraînera dans un éden sonore où les talents méconnus prospèrent, où les poussières cosmiques se mêlent aux vents oniriques. Au cœur de ce voyage immobile, le programme mettra en lumière des productions qui privilégient les timbres sonores et les espaces, souvent associés à des caractéristiques visuelles ou atmosphériques. Cet épisode rendra hommage au regretté Ryuichi Sakamoto, icône de la pop synthétique et avant-gardiste, à travers la compilation "All Micro Ambient Music". Plus de 40 artistes célèbrent la mémoire de ce musicien japonais à travers des compositions inédites, imprégnées d'ambient minimale, parfois enrichies de touches de classique contemporain et de field recordings. Cette Solénosphère nous offrira trois extraits de cette compilation, réunissant des compatriotes de Sakamoto ainsi que des pointures internationales de l'ambient, telles qu'Alva Noto, David Toop et Federico Durand.

Lea Bertucci has been on an absolute roll the last few years between her solo work, and collaborative work, along with curating excellent compilations with companion sample libraries. Her newest work is a collaboration with the great Lawrence English and it doesn't disappoint. We chat about it, her recent trip to Australia and New Zealand, and her next solo record, which is going to be a doozy. Lea Bertucci & Lawrence English Chthonic https://lawrenceenglishleabertucci.bandcamp.com/album/chthonic Lea Bertucci's Bandcamp https://leabertucci.bandcamp.com/ Lea Bertucci Xtended Vox Sample Library https://www.spitfireaudio.com/lea-bertucci-xtended-vox The Seltzer Salon is a concise, conversational podcast hosted by Brad Rose and produced by Foxy Digitalis. Each episode features a musician, artist, writer, or anyone, really, focusing on a single project or idea. I know we all have limited time each day, so I wanted to do something a little smaller scale with just as much impact, so episodes will be 25-45 minutes in length.

Solénoïde (10.07.2023) - Découvrez 4 de nos coups de cœur discographiques récents dans le monde des musiques de traverses et d'atmosphères ! David Toop et Lawrence English exploreront le monde fascinant du field recording avec leur œuvre immersive "The Shell That Speaks The Sea". De séquences naturalistes troublantes en montages bruitistes effrayants, cet album (en radiobalisage) reflètera l'intérêt du duo pour les sons sensibles et hantés. Inventeur de la trompette mutante, l'américain Ben Neill présentera "Prana Cantos", une œuvre ambient méditative accompagnée de textes lus par sa fille. Le percussionniste et claviériste Nevaris, avec l'aide de Bill Laswell, offrira des grooves afro-latins dans son 1er album "Reverberations". Et enfin, Christine Ott se démarquera avec son nouveau trio. Sur l'album éponyme de THE CRY, des compositions hypnotiques et progressives mettront en valeur les ondes martenot et les claviers analogiques.

V novom dieli sme hovorili s Mikom Cooperom, legendou improvizovanej hudby o jeho pesničkárskej minulosti, tvorbe, improvizácii a znovuobjavení sa spevu v jeho hudbe. Osemdesiatročný Cooper je známy svojou vyše 50 ročnou kariérou počas ktorej prešiel mnohými hudobnými premenami a Lawrence English ho nazval ikonou "post-everthing music". V druhej časti budete počuť multidisciplinárnu umelecko-výskumnú skupinu FUZZY EARTH, ktorej dvaja členovia strávili v A4ke rezidenčný pobyt a vytvorili zvukovo-vizuálnu inštaláciu venovanú klíme, skleníkom a (anti)utopickému ekofuturizmu. Ako spájajú vo svojich inštaláciách naratívy rôznych prístupov a prečo sa snažia o pohľad na klimatické problémy a environmentálne témy z rôznych uhlov naraz? Tvorbu podcastu z verejných zdrojov podporil Fond na podporu umenia a Nadácia mesta Bratislavy.

A Line, a succession of points, a fine line, a route; or many, like when talking about LINE as a label, house, family and source of inspiration founded by sound artist Richard Chartier 22 years ago. Sometimes conceptual, sometimes abstract, sometimes somewhere between the two, or just out of any category, the works published by this label condense a vast and exotic catalogue of sound art, initially created as a division of the mythical 12k, to later become independent in its own search, permeated by a marked but broad vision of sonic minimalism. Among LINE's catalogue, there are true jewels of experimental contemporary music and sound art, such as the legendary Series by Richard Chartier, the compilation Between Two Points, the tribute/non-tribute to John Cage by Lawrence English, and the special Forms of Paper by Steve Roden, considered one of the essential works of the so-called lowercase movement, characterized by music played at low sound levels and lacking in prominence pretensions, a sonic philosophy close to that many of the label's releases. Each release is characterized by always bringing true sonic rarities to the label's universe, one of the most select and diverse catalogues of contemporary sound art, where the meeting of sonority and concept not only satisfies the listener's ears: it extends them, shows something that is very difficult to find elsewhere. This 64-minute mix is a selection of the history of LINE since 2000, focusing on an overlaying of shorter pieces and excerpts to give an idea of the variety of sounds, aesthetics, and compositions of the label. So many of the works on LINE are longer, extended experiences. This is merely a taster.

The next mixtape comes from musician and composer Remo Seeland, who is behind the Swiss experimental label Hallow Ground. He's presenting a selection of the label's music, partly in response to the label's recent publication, their first ever "concept-compilation" Epiphanies (Hallow Ground, 2022) released earlier in March this year. Founded by Remo Seeland, Hallow Ground was created in 2013 and has been instrumental in launching the careers of artists such as Kali Malone and FUJI||||||||||TA as well as recently releasing albums by Lawrence English, Norman Westberg, Maria W Horn and Siavash Amini, as many of Seeland's composition as well. More than a record label, Hallow ground is a platform for Music and Art that leads to ‘Visions', also acting as We act as publishers, hosts and performers. For the label's first ever compilation, the artists were commissioned to pursue a non-rational creative process in approaching the phenomenon of epiphany through sound. The results, whether long-form, short vignettes, profane and concrete sounds or spiritual and abstract pieces, perfectly encapsulate what Hallow Ground as a label has stood for since its inception in the year 2013: challenging not only conventional notions of what music is supposed to sound like but also the listeners' perception through the power of sound. The mix Seeland has prepared for us reflects on the sound of some of the main artists behind the label, and a joyous and sinuous journey into experimental introspection.

Australian artist, composer and curator Lawrence English's exhibition at the Museum of Brisbane Site Listening:Brisbane celebrates attentive listening in a chosen location and showcases field recordings of environments and creatures around the world - taking their place alongside an ever-growing collection of recordings revealing the unheard sounds of our world. For Lawrence listening is very different to hearing. He is interested in "relational listening", the relationship between our internal thinking and the external sounds we are most interested in and tune into - and how to communicate that to an audience. He tells Lynn Freemand he has completed any number of field recordings, in Antarctica, the Amazon and many in New Zealand. These recordings have been released on various albums built around his environmental recordings, released on his own label Room 40

Ça faisait un moment qu'on n'avait pas dédié une tranche à un label, on en choisit donc un qui nous tient particulièrement à cœur : Room40. Né au crépuscule du millénaire dernier dans une volonté initiale de donner une chance à des compositeurs dans l'ombre, la maison australienne tenue par Lawrence English pourrait un peu rejoindre ce qu'on disait à propos de 12k et de son image de contre-culture musicale. Pourtant, son unité ne se trouve pas tant dans sa patte sonore que dans son intégrité : la room 40 était le service de décryptage britannique des codes ennemis durant la Ière Guerre Mondiale, rencontre de cerveaux aux compétences diverses mais au but commun. Room40 se nourrit aussi de son éclectisme de forme pour alimenter une vision artistique globale de fond ; pas facile d'en faire un tour vraiment fidèle donc, mais Amplitudes va tenter de lui rendre hommage de son mieux.

Andrew Tuttle, our own powerfully self confident experimental folk artist. Andrew is well known to the musicians in Meanjin as the familiar, bubbly banjo playing, APRA/AMCOS representative. In the Autumn of 2020 Andrew released his fourth studio album through Someone Good, with the help of Aidan Hogg, Chuck Johnson, and Lawrence English. An album which immediately takes me to a distinctive Australian dry Eucalypt forest, with a light sweat on my forehead, and cicadas surrounding me. Andrew and I talk about the importance of loving your own music and avoiding overworking songs. We touch on evaluating when and when not to play shows, and setting boundaries for yourself. - Listen to Andrew Tuttle's music. - Access exclusive content via Patreon. - Follow Andrew Tuttle on Instagram. - Follow Why Did You Make It on Instagram. - Learn more about the host here.

Ending a dark age, featuring Sarah Davachi, Peter Bjargo, Gert De Meester, Lawrence English and Lamond Campbell.

Electronic musician and sound artist Josep Kamaru, aka KMRU, takes us on our first December sonic journey. Born in Nairobi and currently based in Berlin, KMRU is a sound artist and producer whose methods include field recording, improvisation, noise, machine learning, radio art and drones. With a paramount sound and visual sensibility, his work is reminiscent of ambient masters such as Lawrence English. KMRU's sound though is uniquely positioned between the rarely-married cultures of ambient and African music, entwining his compositions with field recordings from his native Kenya and the surrounding countries of East Africa. Self-releasing his productions, these have been received very enthusiastically by both critics and the audience. In 2020, he released three albums that showed the depth and range of his sound: Peel, an LP of hypnotic drones on the avant-garde institution Editions Mego; Opaquer, a collection of vivid and dreamlike sound sculptures; and Jar, a dreamlike cassette of found sounds and analogue ambience. KMRU hasn't stopped in 2021 with a few more releases including Logue, an album Formed of tracks written from 2017 to 2019, which represents an artist not only in command of his form but also willing to develop and evolve, ready to deconstruct and radically refocus his music to explore new contours of experimental and ambient sound design. This mix he shares is a liminal narrative of falling asleep, each track feels like an episode of a hypnagogic state. I've been thinking deeply about dreams and nostalgia this past week and these tracks evoke this feeling. Tracklist: Patricia Wolf - Morning Light KMRU & Nyokabi Kariuki – unreleased Fields We Found – Drops Alexandra Spence - Suddenly Silent Perila & Ulla - every something is an echo of nothing Kevin Richard Martin - In Slow Motion Klara Lewis & Peder Mannerfelt - Styrofoam Tone Pita - Two Top Five Tim Hecker and Daniel Lopatin - Uptown Psychedelia Aho Ssan - Outro (KMRU Remix) Tashi Wada - March 2007 MIGUEL ANGEL TOLOSA - salon 09-02 loscil – Vespera The Transcendence Orchestra - Weather Series John Hassel -Hex Sarah Davachi - Border of Mind

This week Cultures of Energy welcomes the brilliant (and fully certified) sound artist and composer Lawrence English (http://lawrenceenglish.com) to the podcast. Lawrence explains his relational approach to listening and how he became interested in the practice of field recording. We discuss the difference between hearing and listening, field recording as a political act, aesthetics of signal and noise, and how different ears have different horizons of listening. As a non-linear medium, Lawrence emphasizes the endlessness and promiscuousness of sound and how listening can help us reconnect to our immediate environments and to the world at large. Relish the incidental! In our final segment, (63:18) we mix for your audition and pleasure several clips from Lawrence's 2012 field recording collection, Songs Of The Living And The Lived In (http://emporium.room40.org/categories/lawrence-english-editions). See if you can recognize the Antarctic fur seal sleeping, Amazonian howler monkeys, Cormorants flocking at dusk, Australian chiroptera, Adele penguin chicks, Antarctic fur seals very much awake, white-throated toucans' dawn display and a trigona carbonaria hive invasion.

The awesome folks over at Headphone Commute asked me to do a special mix for them and of course I could not refuse.

Headphone Commute ...and darkness came. The compilation features 80 tracks(yes, 80 tracks!) from great artists in ambient, modern classical and experimental music.  Artists like Max Richter, Clint Mansell, offthesky, Julien Neto, Ólafur Arnalds, Dakota Suite, Christopher Willits, Loscil, Lawrence English, Maps And Diagrams, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Nils Frahm, Talvihorros, Bersarin Quartett, Antonymes, Simon Scott, Dustin O'Halloran, Machinefabriek, :papercutz, and many, many, more. 100% of the proceeds are donated to two charitable organizations, Doctors Without Borders and The Humane Society, to help all those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
