All One Song: A Neil Young Podcast is coming this summer from the people who bring you Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions. In this deep dive audio experience, liner notes author, musician, and Shakey historian Tyler Wilcox (Pitchfork, Uncut, host of Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard's Doom and Gloom from the Tomb on dublab) invites musicians/artists/writers to discuss…one single song by Neil Young. Join guests like Steve Gunn, Jeff Parker, Ilyas Ahmed, Meg Baird, Rosali, Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth, author Jesse Jarnow, Ethan Miller (Howlin' Rain, Comets on Fire), Transmissions host Jason P. Woodbury, and Chris Forsyth, whose Coca Leaves and Pearls musical combo provide the show with original Young-inspired music.  “With this show, Tyler explores Neil's work in ways that feel revelatory, as if each song is indeed just coming into existence. That's what Young's best music does— communicate the freshness of a single musical moment distilled down to its rawest form. With this show, Wilcox offers a glimpse into the history and lore with sensitivity and care.” —Jason P. Woodbury, host of Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions  Sponsored exclusively by hi-fi streaming service ⁠Qobuz,⁠ All One Song episodes will explore Shakey lore, lyrics, chords, gear, etc, offering historical context and context personal to each guest.  Like Neil famously decreed, “It's all one song.” This summer, Tyler Wilcox takes you deep into that song with All One Song: A Neil Young Podcast from Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions, coming June 25th in the Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions feed. Listen wherever you get podcasts via the ⁠Talkhouse Podcast Network.⁠ 

Today, the Spotlight shines On saxophonist and composer Ingrid Laubrock.Ingrid's just released Purposing The Air, a double album that sets 60 brief poems by Erica Hunt to music through four different vocal-instrumental duos. It's an ambitious project that transforms Hunt's emotionally sharp koans into what Ingrid calls "a library of moods”—each piece capturing a different feeling, from the everyday to the searching.The project began during Ingrid's master's studies, when she met Hunt through a friend and immediately connected with the poet's work. What started as writing for one duo became something much larger: a collection where poems float through musical space, each tailored for specific performers, such as Fay Victor and Mariel Roberts, or Theo Bleckmann and Ben Monder.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Ingrid Laubrock's album Purposing the Air)–Dig DeeperVisit Ingrid Laubrock at ingridlaubrock.com and follow her on Bluesky, Facebook and YouTubePurchase Purposing the Air from Pyroclastic Records, Bandcamp, or Qobuz and listen on your streaming platform of choiceDig into this episode's complete show notes at spotlightonpodcast.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

Today, the Spotlight shines on clarinetist and composer Kinan Azmeh.Earlier this year, Kinan released Live in Berlin, his fourteenth album with his CityBand quartet. The album captures music he wrote during Syria's 2011 uprising—pieces that carry the weight of watching your homeland torn apart from thousands of miles away. Born in Damascus and now based in Brooklyn, Kinan has spent decades crossing the world with his clarinet, performing with Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble, the New York Philharmonic, and countless others.What makes this release particularly powerful is its timing. As Syrians celebrate newfound freedom after years of struggle, Kinan's music—born from grief and anger—now carries notes of hope. We spoke about these deeply personal compositions and how his twenty-year collaboration with CityBand has evolved into music that encompasses classical, jazz, and Arabic influences.A technical note: Kinan joined me from Beirut, Lebanon, and although I couldn't tell while we were recording, I later discovered that our internet connection was not always stable. There are some dropouts and garbles in this episode that we have done our best to clean up; however, even with those, we thought this conversation was worth sharing with you. I know you will agree.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from the album Live in Berlin by Kinan Azmeh and CityBand)–Dig Deeper• Artist and Album:Visit Kinan Azmeh at kinanazmeh.com and follow him on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTubePurchase Kinan Azmeh and CityBand's Live in Berlin from Qobuz and listen on your streaming platform of choiceKinan Azmeh: Berlin and Beyond• Dig into this episode's complete show notes at spotlightonpodcast.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent dig into the news about a new $25/month music streaming service that claims it's the first to deliver lossless and immersive audio. (Please don't tell Apple Music or Qobuz or Tidal or Amazon!) Then they look on as an AudioXpress writer does a Marianas Trench-level dive on the return of the 78 rpm record, and question whether these can deliver as profound a musical experience as lathe-cut records. They conclude by pondering which paper towel is best for cleaning up the drool after Stereophile, Hi-Fi+ and Hi-Fi News review dCS's almost-$300K, five-chassis DAC.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comFern Canyon is enchanting.My whole raison d'être with soundwalks is to bottle up that feeling. Enchantment. Fascination. Magnetism. These are the robust feelings that pictures and sounds alone often can't quite stir up. I see music as the key.The great thing about music, I believe, is you don't have to be an expert. You don't have to know music theory, and you don't even have to know how to play an instrument better than, say, an eager first-year student. For me, making music is about opening up, being sensitive, exploring. Sharing music can be more fraught. A little over a year ago, I decided to make a home here on Substack. At first, it felt like play; an adventure in publishing. It still does. But, there is some tension with the commerce part. Honestly I feel like I'm floundering with that part of being a Substack author. It's not that I don't like it. I'm on board with writers and artists monetizing their work. From my point of view, it's just challenging to sustain that sense of play, while trying to casually sell some part of it.Today, I'm trying something new, to keep the exploratory vibe alive. Fern Canyon Soundwalk is only available here. Not Spotify, not Bandcamp. Not Qobuz—I like Qobuz by the way. Just here, and in its entirety, just for paid subscribers. It's a little slice of enchantment, and practically speaking, it's hidden. It's if you know, you know. You know? I'm not fancy. Subscriptions start at less than $3/mo.I don't know if I'll get any “conversions” from this post; any new paid subscribers. I decided not to let keep me from trying though. It's probable that I'm making the wrong decision in terms of “exploiting” my work—It seems to me I'd earn more on streaming platforms over time. That's okay. I've always felt better about my place in the economy when I'm not fretting and optimizing. Fern Canyon is in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, in Humboldt County California. It was formed by Home Creek.This modest stream has over the eons carved a 50 to 80 foot deep canyon through the rich sedimentary soils. The canyon walls sprout an amazing variety of luxuriant ferns and other moisture-loving plants. (vistredwoods.com)Composing and finalizing Fern Canyon Soundwalk had many twists and turns. In the end, I went for soft, supple, simple. It's a very tender and naive composition, grounded in felted piano, with chimes and sparkly synths punctuating the arrangement, alongside a myriad of water sounds and sparse birdsong.I usually end with a thank you for your interest. It's not performative. I really mean it. That's all I'm after here…to tell stories with sounds, music, images and words. Folks taking an interest keeps me going. Thank you all!Soundwalk is a reader-supported publication. To be one of a handful of people to hear Fern Canyon Soundwalk in its entirety, consider becoming a subscriber.

Today, the Spotlight shines On two artists who've taken the piano-guitar duo to bold new places. Sylvie Courvoisier and Mary Halvorson have just released Bone Bells, their third album, and a fresh showcase of their uncanny musical connection.These two players come from different worlds: Sylvie from European classical traditions and Mary from experimental jazz guitar circles. But when they join forces, something magical happens. Their music shifts from delicate to eruptive, structured to spontaneous, with a shared musical language they've built over nearly a decade.Bone Bells takes its name from a line in Hernan Diaz's Pulitzer-winning novel Trust. It carries that same haunting, enigmatic quality through eight compositions that blend composition and improvisation in ways only these two can pull off.Our conversation veered from structure to improvisation and led us to interesting places, a fitting companion to the new album.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Sylvie Courvoisier & Mary Halvorson's album Bone Bells)–Dig DeeperVisit Sylvie Courvoisier at sylviecourvoisier.com and Mary Halvorson at maryhalvorson.comPurchase Sylvie Courvoisier & Mary Halvorson's Bone Bells from Bandcamp or Qobuz and listen on your streaming platform of choicePyroclastic RecordsDefending American arts, culture, and democracySilence is Not an Option: The Call to Action for Artists Under the Trump AdministrationDig into this episode's complete show notes at spotlightonpodcast.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comHello. Just wanted to let you know about my new 8 minute piece in 10 movements, Woods. A few weeks ago I released a similar instrumental work entitled Coots, mentioning it was the first in a series released under the pseudonym “Crou”. It immediately felt like a mistake. Not the music. (For someone who has never felt particularly self-confident as a musician, that was not the problem. I felt good about the music.) The problem was there was another artist going by Crou already, and though I professed the ambiguity of pronunciation appealed to me, I soon reasoned how it would not appeal to the likes of Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant in voice commands. Abort, abort, I thought on release day. So goodby Crou, we hardly knew ya. Hello Sleeping Animal. I like the new name. It's been switched for the Coots release for over a week now, and it's felt steady as she goes. It is one of ten releases I've served up to my distributor with release dates fanning out to September, so the name is pretty much set now. There's plenty more Sleeping Animal to come!Why Sleeping Animal? To me, the name has a warm, tender, and vulnerable connotation. It also doesn't hurt that, as an artist who has to devoted himself to environmental and wildlife recording for the past five years, the name functionally alludes to not containing wildlife sounds. That appeals to me.Starting from square one is always a hand-wringing affair, so if you enjoy it, do me a favor and tell one person about it. In an implacable algorithmic world, word-of-mouth is real.Woods follows in the footsteps of Coots. Not having an environmental sound bed opens up space for a sonic nuance that I've been enjoying experimenting with.And spoiler alert: The die is cast on monochrome cover art. I have another fun project to announce shortly that this aesthetic plays a big role in. Anyway, I'd be delighted if you gave Woods a listen. The sophomore release Woods by Sleeping Animal is available on all music streaming sites (Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Tidal, Qobuz etc.) today, Friday, March 28th.
