Listen to the 46th edition of Free City Radio, we hear a talk given by the late activist, academic and author Aziz Choudry, which was hosted by Free City Radio at the Concordia Co-op Bookshop in Montréal.

Aziz was a friend and also a profound presence within networks of the anti-colonial left globally. This is a talk that was focused on the invaluable process of grassroots learning and knowledge production that takes place organically within social movements and the importance for spaces of formal learning in the academia to acknowledge, respect & take into consideration the grassroots knowledge developed within the context of grassroots struggle.

46. Aziz Choudry on the intellectual life of contemporary social movements

Artist Sevi Iko Dømochevsky visualises the kind of catastrophe that KMRU and Aho Ssan make audible in their Fact Mix, one that is painful to comprehend, yet serves as a prescient diagnosis of our present.

Here’s our next episode - a personal collection of truly exuberant soundscapes, unexpectedly rich with acoustic music, pieces of modern classic and sound collages exploring various sound solutions. 

Two introspective hours from a Kaliningrad based Anna Gunkina, also known as gunswall, who is engaged in selecting music and crafting electronic ambient pieces using sampling via the internet archives.

2. Bells & Timps (5:30)
3. BuchBel (11:54)

Zound Delta was made at a residency with the European Sound Delta Project in 2009. The sounds were recorded from the mouth of the Danube River at the Black Sea, - to about 200km upstream, at Russe Bulgaria. In Russe, there was a festival, and the finished piece was played. There were boats (Belgian barges outfitted as living boats) starting at the mouth of the Danube and the Rhine Rivers, with changing residents, for several months.

Bells & Timps was made using church bells in Gent Belgium, recorded by Godfried Willem Raes of Logos Foundation, in 1986. I modified the time by stretching vastly, and some changes in pitch as well.

BuchBel was recorded during an overnight train ride from Bucharest to Belgrade. All sounds are from the train, with many layerings. The train trip was immediately after the festival in Russe, Bulgaria, in 2009.

All of the pieces were made in ProTools.

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?
