Useless Sounds is an occasional series, an informal presentation of unprocessed field-recordings.

[Useless Sounds]

The Sound Propositions podcast has a unique format. Rather than two people chatting in front of the mic, each episode is an audio-documentary, blending music, field recordings, and sound design with the voice of each  subject. Sound Propositions features conversations with artists exploring their creative practices and individual aesthetics, conceived of as a counter-narrative to a dominant trend in music journalism which fetishizes equipment and new technologies. This series tries to take the emphasis away from the ‘what’ and shine light on the ‘how’ and ‘why.’ 

You can also find Sound Propositions wherever you listen to podcasts: Radio Public, Stitcher, iTunes, Google Podcasts, Anchor, or any podcast feed that uses RSS.

Sound Propositions [podcast]

This episode features a wide-ranging conversation with Montreal’s Roger Tellier-Craig, known for his work with Fly Pan Am, Godspeed, Le Révélateur and others. In 2019, Fly Pan Am released C'est ça, their first record in 15 years, but their 2020 tour plans were derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Tellier-Craig discusses his fascination with music as a studio art, the unexpected creative opportunities presented by quarantine, and the hyperreality of our present in which our fragile sense of reality seems poised to collapse at any moment.

Interview recorded in Montreal, May 2020
Produced and mixed in Montreal, March 2021

SP* Episode 18: INTO THE UNCANNY VALLEY - with Roger Tellier-Craig [podcast]

Happy Solstice! The Summer Solstice is the day with the longest period of daylight, and has come to mark the beginning of summer. So it seemed fitting to share this solarpunk inspired mix from @JordanChristoff. Back in 2015, Jordan and Patrick Dique (together known as PJS) put together Harvest, a unique installment in our Lost Children mix series. That may have been their earliest release, actually, but Jordan has been prolific in the years since, working with many of our favorite labels: Shimmering Moods, Muzan Editions, Constellation Tatsu, Phinery, Leaving, Past Inside the Present.  In addition to his work with PJS and as a solo artist, he is also part of Anarchist Mountains with his brother, Stefan Christoff.  [I was very lucky to join them for La terre et la force, released earlier this year.] And so I'm very glad to share post global solarpunk. This mix feels like a warm day basking in the sun, gentle and soothing vibes for a peaceful beginning of the summer.

Ukrainian Field Notes - 18 July 2022 - with Burning Woman, Vlad Suppish, Zavoloka

This mix was selected by Gabe Bogart, old friend and colleague from the site before this one, occasional contributor to ACL. Back in 2013, I asked him for some hip hop producer recommendations, and we put together these beat-centric mixes. We had talked about doing some more mixes in this way (his selection with me doing the mixing) but it wasn't until the pandemic that Gabe sent me over a batch of tracks he’d been enjoying, which I mixed during a particularly cold winter night early in 2021. I sat on that session for a long time, went back and thought I’d mix it afresh but found I enjoyed it as is. (Joseph Sannicandro)

Bogart's Select Hip Hop Instrumentals

I recently moved into a shared studio space and for the first time in a long while was able to play music loudly. I put together this mix of tapes I listened to while getting settled in. All recent hip hop tapes released between 2020 and 2022, following the thread of a few producers and MCs and themes, but mostly just stuff I've enjoyed recently and was excited to play loudly. Two variable speed tape players, a mixer, SP 404 and some effects. Peace to GENG PTP

AGF is a powerful poemproducer. She first described herself in these terms on a track of that title from Westernization Completed, her Ars Electronica winning breakthrough album. Poemproducer became her “internet name,” and has come to stand in for her idiosyncratic approach to vocal-based electronic music. Last November, AGF quietly released Poemproducer, almost exactly 20 years after Westernization Completed. Channeling her internet name into her first proper solo studio album since SOLIDCITY (2017), Poemproducer is built around mutating bass, freeplayed rhythms, and subtle field recordings. We discuss the evolution of her musical practice, her interest in pedagogy, feminism, collective politics and much more.

Secret Thirteen Mix

Secret Thirteen Mix 139 - A Closer Listen

It's been nearly seven years since this series debuted, and somehow we're still here doing this 100 mixes later. There are some exciting new things in the air, but before we look forward we should look back and commemorate this milestone in style.  So here's a look back at our roots, with 36 following up his mix from fall 2011, the very first in our series. 

Read more, including a tracklist, at: www.acloserlisten.com

36 - ACL100MIX

Shida Shahabi is an Iranian-Swedish pianist and composer, with a background in sound art.  Early Autumn is timed to coincide with the release of Homes, Shahabi's debut album. Mainly featuring an old Swedish upright piano as its sole instrument, Homes delves deep into explorations of intimate piano tones, assured in its imperfections and sparse arrangements. This mix brings together old favorites with new releases in honor of her debut solo release.

Sound Propositions the podcast has the same mission statement as the written Sound Propositions features: to share in depth discussions with artists whose work we love, to delve into the details of their creative practice.

The inaugural episode of our new podcast, Sound Propositions, features interviews (with Resina and Lea Bertucci) and field-recordings recorded during the 2018 UNSOUND festival in Krakow, Poland. (You can read my review of the festival here.) The theme of this year's festival was "Presence," and so that became the point of departure for my interviews, particularly the ways in which absences can also be felt as a "presence."

Special thanks to Resina, Lea Bertucci, Ryan Diduck, Corey Bracken, and the entire Unsound team.

This episode features saxophonist and composer Phillip Johnston, known for his work with genre-bending jazz ensemble The Microscopic Septet, the Beefheart tribute Fast 'N Bulbous, and as the composer of silent film scores. Johnston moved to Australia over a decade ago, but NYC still feels like his home turf. We were both back in town last November for Thanksgiving, and we met to discuss memory, music, media, the history of silent film, and his long-association with the various music scenes of NYC.

Special thanks to Phillip, Joyce, Steve, and Smalls.

For the past two months, this has been the view from my kitchen balcony. The other side of the apartment, my bedroom balcony, faces an interior courtyard.  This installment stitches together some commonplace sounds heard coming from outside the window: church bells, other church bells, people talking, people working,  car and motorino engines on nearby Salvator Rosa and Corso Vittorio Emanuele, sawing, birds over head.

He leads the psychedelic salsa group La Mecánica Popular, fusing groove-based Latin music with electronic and experimental explorations. Rozas' Myth and Prosthesis series utilizes software programming and robotics to produce sound installations and music, utilizing Latin American influences and modern technology to uproot Western concepts and mind/body duality. 

We discuss all these projects and more, including the role of NYC in the history of Salsa, and the future of electronic Latinx music to come.

Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch ~ Organes Electriques [Mixtape Premiere]

When ACL first started producing mixes, I knew that I didn't just want to invite artists and labels. We've always imagined ACL as a part of a broader community. As such I've often invited mixes from amateurs, from listeners and fellow critics. This mix is one of those.

Philippe Requena is a music lover who lives near Paris, and has been producing mixes casually for some time now, just putting them out once he's gathered enough tracks and samples. We will be featuring more of his mixes in the near future.

Water Be My Road Now

Philippe Requena presents 'Water Be My Road Now' [mix]

Deep Minimalism (i) is a gentle excursion perfect for our shared moment of collective unease. Newsha Khalaj is a Vancouver-based violist and the author of this mix. She put this tracklist together with a purpose. As she explains, "I needed these soothing, shifting, deep-moving sounds—life was a little heavy for a while, for personal reasons—and these songs, this mix, is that."  Khalaj sent me the tracks and I mixed them live, which was a really meditative process.

In July, Khalaj played as part of the Slow New Way Ensemble for Nadia Sirota’s Living Music series, one of the more interesting quarantine concerts I've seen. The Ensemble performed the world premiere of a new work by Richard Reed Parry [Bell Orchestre, Arcade Fire], made especially notable as it was performed live via Zoom by musicians in Berlin, Montreal, New York and Los Angeles. The rest of the episode is equally worth your time, of course, including a performance by Clarice Jensen.

Newsha Khalaj presents Deep Minimalism (i) [mix]

This mix accompanies the LISTENING THROUGH MIMAROĞLU episode,  featuring director Serdar Kökçeoğlu discussing his work and the Mimaroglu project in particular. I originally had in mind a second episode with interviews with other musicians I met while in Istanbul, but for a variety of reasons not everyone was comfortable speaking for audio, or we were otherwise unable to find an opportunity to record.  Of course there are also linguistic barriers. Save polished corporate aesthetics for the professionals, this podcast is more interested in something else. So instead I present İSTANBUL EKSPRES, a bonus mix of music from Istanbul artists old and new.

You can also read my interview with Ipek Gorgun. at www.acloserlisten.com

We spoke about some of her favorite Anatolian psychedelic bands, among other things. Since the 1990s, international music publications like the Wire have become hip to Turkish rock from the 60s and 70s. Artists from that era were often incorporating folk instruments from around the region into a rock ensemble context.  But that's just one facet of Turkish musical heritage.

Sample-based producers like Group Ses, working in styles influenced by hip hop, trap, beat tapes, etc, make up a vibrant scene of crate diggers, mining the rich history of Turkish (and Ottoman) recordings. 

İSTANBUL EKSPRES is my attempt to share some of this music. I don't claim any expertise, or pretense of exhaustive knowledge, just wanted to share  the music and voices of the amazing artists I met in Istanbul.

SP* Episode 14: İSTANBUL EKSPRES [mix]

Jeremy Young recently released Filaments on Eliane Tapes, Moving Furniture's sporadic series of work inspired by the remarkable French composer Éliane Radigue. The series was inaugurated with a release by Kassel Jaeger back in early 2018, and after a long silence two new tapes have just been released. To mark this occasion, we invited Young to produce a mix. Like me, Young is an American living in Montréal, Canada, so it was also nice to discover some connections between us. Young works primarily with reel-to-reel tape and contact miked objects and has worked on a wide variety of projects including sound-poetry and audio-visual scoring. We at ACL have long been fans of Jeremy's solo work as szilárd, and especially his trio Sontag Shogun and their predecessor (The) Slowest Runner (In All The World). And so it is our great pleasure to present Je Suis Mon Absence.

Paysages, encore

Phillipe Requena presents 'Paysages, encore' [mix]

Since 2012, A Closer Listen has claimed a specialized niche in the music industry: instrumental album reviews!  By concentrating on this above all else (singles, videos, concerts, interviews, lyric albums, announcements), we’ve built a healthy fanbase and a strong reputation.

If music is recorded and nobody listens, does it still make a sound?
