Name: Washington by Beau Stocker
Duration: 4 min 33 s
Description: This piece was inspired by the wonderful Ethiopian singer Gigi and the comparison of Ethiopian rhythm called "Slow 6/8" and Sudanese rhythm called "Merdoom".

Sequel to Sean McCann's heavy reggae/dancehall mix of 2020 which bedded the late Jean-Marie Massou's cave recordings under the likes The Summertaires, Barrington Levy and Freddie McKay. Vol 2 marries Caetano Veloso's sound poetry with the Jack Ruby Soundsystem, Horace Andy and The Wailers. Very much what we need to drag us into 2022 - thanks Sean.

Sean McCann is a Los Angeles-based composer, sound artist, curator, and audio engineer. He concurrently operates Recital, a label dedicated to sound poetry, new music, and Fluxus archival recordings. In 2022 Recital will celebrate it's 10 year anniversary - congrats to Sean and all the artists who make it such a special label.

We should say that we initially wrote to Sean asking him to contribute to our festive mailout with a mix, and we were a little slow with the idea - Silk House shared a brilliant choral / sound poetry mix he made in December. Definitely worth checking out after this.

On 12 February, John Tilbury returns in a trio with John Edwards and Mark Sanders, a group which exceeded all expectations when they performed here last June, their first, and so far only, encounter. Tilbury unleashed bird calls, tape manipulations, and dense keyboard attack; Edwards lurched from abstract drone to full on walking bass figures; and Sanders propelled the group with a unique mixture of delicate percussive touches and unrestrained drum barrage. It wasn't a case of Tilbury suddenly switching into free jazz mode, or Edwards and Sanders moving into AMM-style experimentalism. All three maintained their own distinctive voices, their musical individuality if anything enhanced by a situation entirely free of compromise or reverence but full of mutual awareness and sustained creative energy. Their second encounter gives them the opportunity to explore the many as yet untouched areas opened up in their first performance and promises to be an utterly mesmerising event.

About Arthropods

The soul is a fragment of a dream, the seed of future and past, evolving infinitely on the Arthropods* Continent. We seek out dreams and catch them, to scrape together the new Adam.

*1 ARTHROPODS： Arthropods is the alienation form of GOLEM*, and there is a soul in each metamere. They can upload, download, and link to each other.

*2 GOLEM：A golem is mythical humanlike figure made from clay and magically able to move on its own. In the Bible, Golem is an unfinished human being, without a soul. Through the process of its own evolution and its makers' experiments, a Golem can contain or generate its own soul. It can appear in different interconnected forms and reproduce itself at will. A golem with a soul, in order to speed up its own evolution, will sometimes supersede or devour the original form of life. The album Golem is inspired from this source.
