Thoughts and words from @ivy-dripp over at https://passingnotes.radio

Seeing the interstate circuit beginning to turn in Melbourne means the return of one of Sydney’s stalwart DJs, IV Drip. Ivy is radio host (Nomad Radio), events organiser (Headroom), expert mix curator (NTS, Animalia) and critical fixture in the Nectar family. Inherent to being part of the Nectar crew, is their commitment movement toward gender equality in the electronic music community. Ivy’s commitment to her community shines both on and off the stage - always tinkering away and bringing multiple creative projects to life, she’s undoubtedly drawn to creating spaces that keep Sydney’s nightlight alive. Beyond her backstage prowess, Ivy and IV Drip’s mixes have always left me floored. Luckily her in demand skills as a DJ and artist have landed her an ongoing slot on Nomad radio, where she has recently transitioned from presenting her show ‘Thanks for Sharing’ to newly founded ‘Home Time’ where she explores Australian music bounded by no sound. Ivy joins me for IWD X 2 Years Passing Notes, and also shared some thoughts with me over at https://passingnotes.radio.

An emotional beginning, which changes to the bizarre 

Influences Of A Darkening World

"To strike his living hi and ho,
To tick it, tock it, turn it true,

To bang from it a savage blue,
Jangling the metal of the strings"

The Man With the Blue Guitar is a poem published in 1937 by Wallace Stevens. It is divided into thirty-three brief sections, or cantos. In the poem, an unnamed "they" says, of the titular man, "you do not play things as they are", sparking a prolonged meditation on the nature of art, performance, and imagination.

The mix is a collection of pieces that accompanied me in 2020 - on lonely train rides, bike rides and walks. How good that music has the ability to connect the visible with the invisible world. That just helps me a lot not to go crazy.

Bside Incoming: Wonja

This episode of Bside Incoming is the Californian creation of a New Englander. An artist with an original sound, excellent taste, and as always, an incredible collection of music. Wonja

The journey began with her formative experience on local and college radio, where a community of like minded music lovers helped to expand Wonja’s sonic horizons. While house and techno form the basis of her live DJ sets she has an intriguing specialist subject: Gamelan, a percussive genre based on the use of metallophone and wood instruments.

Her audiences are usually small, intimate, and local. So it’s a pleasure to transport her intriguing style beyond its ordinary confines. If you like the taste of this, be sure to tune into her Do/While mixtape with DJML. The duo are soon to release an LP on Soda Gong as Motoko and Myers. We’ve got our ears to the ground for this one!

Starting out with extra-terrestrial sounds, slowly winding down to the ground. Eerie beats, relaxing ambiance, nostalgically natural sounds, and splash of spoken word.
