this is my personal fav track on this mix

So much of this mix reminds me of Touchin' Bass (Andrea Parker's label), while focusing heavily on dark electro, she also released a lot of 'IDM'-y tracks as well.

this mix is fucking fantastic, will be on repeat the remaining weeks as we transition into fall. thank you <3

"Now the circus played our town one day
And three Bengal tigers got away
And the manager look right straight at me
Said he, 'Now here's your opportunity…
Somebody's got to go on and get them cats…
The tiger man is sick in bed
Now all you got to do is put on your hat and coat' he said
'Because the man who catches them alive
A real hero he's gonna be…
Isn't that wonderful?' he says. 'a real wonderful chance for somebody…'

'Yes sir, Yes sir!' I said…'I agree with you!'
'A wonderful chance for somebody else, not me.'"

The Satin Tuning Fork - May 2025: Cor Fuhler

Sometime in the late 20th I had a radio show on WOBC dedicated to the hilariously conflicted genre known as contemporary classical music.  I'm not sure who the buyer was for the WOBC library, but I was thrilled to find a handful of 20th century harpsichord releases which I still treasure to this day. 

The Finnish composer and keyboardist Jukka Tiensuu put out two albums in quick succession: "The Fantastic Harpsichord" followed by "The Exuberant Harpsichord", which are featured here.

The primary exponent of contemporary harpsichord, Polish harpsichordist Elisabeth Chojnacka, recorded music for decades and was even welcomed to the San Francisco Symphony stage by Michael Tilson Thomas.  I was, of course, on the front row.

American composer Barbara Harbach put together a truly lovely and highly accessible collection of works in an album simply titled "20th Century Harpsichord Music".

00:00 Iannis Xenakis : Χοαί (Khoaï) 1976,  performed by Jukka Tienssu 1987

15:23  Costin Miereanu : Limping Rock for harpsichord and percussion, performed by Elisabeth Chojnacka, Sylvio Gualda 1990

20:16 Kaija Saariaho : Jardin secret II for harpsichorcd and electronics 1986, performed by Jukka Tienssu 1987

31:21  Anneli Arho : Minos' 1978, performed by Jukka Tienssu 1987

39:53 Jukka Tiensuu : Fantango 1984, performed by Jukka Tienssu 1987

44:37 György Ligeti : Hungarian Rock 1978,  performed by Jukka Tienssu 1988

49:29 Virgil Thompson : Four Portraits 1940, performed (and possibly arranged by) Barbara Harbach 1988

Abstract without Abstraction Mix Series 005

AW/OA 005: Mixed by Goreteks

Beginning again, with new ears, informed by everything they've heard, Abstract without Abstraction is honored to present a cinematic, lusciously mixed, contribution from Taylor Bratches, aka Talien. When Talien @talienmusic found dance music nearly a decade ago, she knew she was home. A dancer since the age of four and a former music journalist, her passion for movement and her obsession with music has propelled her to seek community on dance floors in cities all over the globe.  

For Talien, DJing is a personal, political and spiritual act—a way to express, to channel frequencies, to unite people, and to give to others the kinds of formative dance-floor experiences that were given to her. Propelled by this sentiment, she became an active participant of Walking and Falling, the Chicago-based mentorship program for female-identifying and non-binary DJs, and currently runs their podcast series at @walkingandfalling. In line with the Walking and Falling vision, she seeks to provide women and nonbinary DJs with an alternate route for exposure, visibility and community.  She is also affiliated with the LA-based female DJ collective Xenophile Collective.  Interested in working with a range of dance music genres, her goal is to create dynamic sonic landscapes that are both terrestrial and otherworldly.  She is also a writer, and currently is writing a book about her relationship to dance and dance music.
