Lockdown (Mix)
I tried to find another name (and image) for this mix, but it seems that only one title remained appropriate at this time.
Music for worrying times…
Slow Reels * Aidan Baker/ Gareth Davis
The romance of deterioration and decay explored by Ian Hawgood & James Murray, and the introspective sequel to Aidan Baker & Gareth Davis’ Invisible Cities.
Haarvöl * Michael Begg * Harrold Roeland
Three albums connected through their album covers – but also through their music: deep sounds by Haarvöl, Michael Begg and Harrold Roeland.
Edu Comelles * & Rafa Ramos Sania
Edu Comelles’ solo albums ‘explore the nature of field recording and their power to become instruments by itself’ – and his collaboration with double bassist Rafa Ramos Sania presents ‘the shredded expressiveness of the double bass’.
Rutger Zuydervelt * Jacaszek * Snorri Hallgrímsson
Three examples of soundtracks that are not created for blockbuster releases (and are a pleasure to listen to without having seen the movies they were created for): scores by Rutger Zuydervelt, Jacaszek and Snorri Hallgrímson.
Elbejée * Susanne Skog * Jana Irmert * AKB
Five (female) composers turning environmental sounds or phenomena into sound art or a haunting soundtrack: Elbejée (Kathy Hinde & Gail Priest), Susanne Skog, Jana Irmert and AKB (Anna-Karin Berglund)
Cryptic Scenery * Quest * René Aquarius
Three different albums that have the ‘long-form format’ in common: drones and drone-like sounds of Cryptic Scenery, Quest and René Aquarius.
