Esta semana, dedicamos la sesión de Rebelión Sónica, a la música del productor, compositor y diseñador de sonido australiano-islandés Ben Frost, con material de dos de sus álbumes: el nuevo “Scope Neglect” y su antecesor de 2017, “The Centre Cannot Hold”. “Scope Neglect” fue publicado por el sello Mute el 01 de marzo de 2024 y está integrado por ocho composiciones, que combinan elementos de metal y el minimalismo, bajo el alero estilístico general de la electrónica que define el trabajo de Frost. El disco incluye contribuciones de Greg Kubacki de la banda mathcore estadounidense Car Bomb y de Liam Andrews de los australianos My Disco. En una declaración sobre “Scope Neglect”, el músico australiano-islandés señaló: “Siempre hay una forma y un sentido de proporción que estoy buscando. Y con estos elementos, intentaba recalibrar algunas mecánicas familiares con la esperanza de crear algo nuevo”. Por su parte, en el Bandcamp puede leerse que “(…) esta música que desafía el género -la electrónica- parece alimentarse de una materia oscura invisible. Separadas de su entorno nativo, las formas de las guitarras rugen a través de espacios negativos cuya dimensión sólo se revela a través de las sombras proyectadas sobre ellas. Lo que queda es el andamio exterior de estructuras desmanteladas hace mucho tiempo y que ya no podemos ver. En otras palabras, lo que Frost quiere que escuchemos no es frecuentemente lo que quiere que sintamos”. Al final del programa, viajamos al pasado en la obra de Frost, para escuchar material de “The Centre Cannot Hold”, su quinto álbum de 2017 producido por el fallecido Steve Albini y también editado por Mute.

Porous Borders: Experimental Music in the Southern Hemisphere
Today on the show I'm speaking to Yudhistira Agato, vocalist and guitarist for the band Vague, guitarist for the band Jirapah, music journalist and translator for Vice Indonesia, and one of my oldest friends. I first met Yudhis back in 2007 at a Converge show in Brisbane when he was in Australia studying and we used to hang out at shows all the time. In 2010, he moved back to Jakarta where he started to get involved in the underground music scene, playing in bands and organising shows. In 2016, Yudhis started working as a translator and writer for VICE Indonesia when they opened their Jakarta office. He's since written a lot about experimental and underground music in Indonesia, and he's interviewed Rich Brian, Kamasi Washington, Khruangbin, My Disco, and many others. You can find links to Yudhis's writing in the show notes; not all of it is translated into English, but a good chunk of it is.Yudhis's main project is a Revolution Summer-inspired post-hardcore band called Vague. He plays guitar and sings in that project and they're quite active in the Jakarta underground scene; they play shows pretty regularly and in the last few years they've been releasing a lot of splits with other underground bands from Southeast Asia. Their newest release is a split with the band Wreck, which is out on HEMA records as a digital release and a 7". They also have splits out with Killeur Calculateur (Kuala Lumpur) and The Kuda (Bogor). All of them are amazing bands and well worth your time. Besides those split releases, Vague has one full-length called Footsteps, which you can find on all the streaming platforms.Yudhis also plays guitar in the band Jirapah, which is a Jakarta-based project that has played in all kinds of different formats. Their most recent release is an LP called Planetarium, and it's available a pay- what-you-want download from Bandcamp, and it's on all the streaming services as well. This interview covers quite a lot of ground. We start by talking about Yudhis's projects and move into talking about the differences between VICE Indonesia and VICE in Western countries like Australia or the United States, the politics around choosing what language to use when writing lyrics, the unique relationship Indonesia's underground scene has with corporate sponsorship, and what's new in Jakarta's experimental music scene.NOTE: A bit of background noise in this one - sorry! Tracks played: "Menapak" by Jirapah, "Sajak Pucat Pasi" by Vague.LinksVague bandcamp: https://vaguejkt.bandcamp.com/Jirapah bandcamp: https://jirapahmusic.bandcamp.com/Sajak Pucat Pasi video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YepfXCpTEIVICE's Top 20 Indonesian albums of the 2010s (in Bahasa Indonesia): https://www.vice.com/id_id/article/v74mva/lagu-lagu-indonesia-terbaik-satu-dekade-terakhirYudhis' VICE Indonesia contributor page (in English): https://www.vice.com/en_asia/contributor/yudhistira-agatoSonic Vortex Vol. 1 (compilation of South-East Asian noise and experimental music): https://mindblasting.wordpress.com/2020/01/25/sonic-vortex-volume-1/Pancawala split (Coffee Faith, Dissonant, BRRR., DJ Miko, Anquan): https://mindblasting.wordpress.com/2020/01/01/pancawala-split/Concrescence Records YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqKkFOv5-FOVTTbl0oojrfw
Porous Borders: Experimental Music in the Southern Hemisphere
Ben Andrews is a Melbourne-based musician who is best known as the guitarist of the band My Disco. He has also played guitar in the grindcore band Agents of Abhorrence, and as a solo artist under the name ASSAD. I've been a big fan of My Disco for many years now, so I was really happy to have the opportunity to talk to Ben. We talked a lot about My Disco and the evolution they've undergone over the past 20 years or so. Ben also lived in Jakarta for a while, so we talked about that too. This conversation was recorded at a bar near where Ben lives in Melbourne, so you'll be able to hear a little bit of background noise. My Disco's latest album, Environment, was released earlier this year on Downwards Records. Tracks played: "Rival Colour" by My Disco, "Hong Kong, 1987" by My DiscoLinks:My Disco bandcamp: https://mydisco.bandcamp.com/Concrescence Records YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqKkFOv5-FOVTTbl0oojrfw/videos

My Disco: My Disco are a three-piece post-punk/minimalist band from Melbourne. Formed in 2003, the band became known for their use of unconventional performance spaces such as warehouses, art galleries and sidewalks. They soon released their debut 7inch “Collapse Of An Erratic Lung” and began touring extensively through Australia, Southeast Asia and Mexico. My Disco’s debut LP “Cancer” was released via Temporary Residence Limited in 2006. This saw them expand touring to the UK and the US, before heading to Electric Audio studios to record with legendary producer and Shellac band member Steve Albini. These sessions produced the band’s second album “Paradise”, which was released in 2008 and described as reductive art rock. Since then, My Disco have released 2 more albums; 2010’s “Little Joy” and 2015’s “Severe.” Severe saw the band explore the minimalist musical aesthetic that's been their hallmark since formation, creating an at times confronting record. Recorded at The Foundry in Brisbane on the 28th of January 2017, this is My Disco and you are listening to Live Delay. Airing details: Originally via Zed Digital, 7-8pm, Sunday 29th of October 2017. Show production and engineering: Reuben Aptroot.

We're back with another episode of The Quietus Hour, John Doran and Luke Turner's new programme showcasing the best in new music interspersed with what our social media wizard Karl Smith tweets is “passable chat”. We did a live stream of the show via The Quietus' Facebook (we'll be doing this every show now so do go and like our page to watch) but here's the full HQ version on Mixcloud. This week we discuss hair like the pair of vain eejits we are, and bring you music from the Super Furry Animals, Meatraffle, Happy Meals, Skepta, My Disco, Apothek, Marissa Nadler, Odio Sem Valor and Beyond The Wizards Sleeve. We also look at the pertinent music news of the day and THE PERSUADER… will some one have called 020 33 93 63 95 and convinced us to play them a tune? Remember, next week that could be you. Ring in! Ding ding!
In this episode we have Matt Wilson from Set Your Goals reviewing records from My Disco, New Lows and Off! as well as the movie The Fighter. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
