KY International Big Band - Hopeinen kuu

"Lost Canada": Research Method Eighteen - Sometimes there is a drifting sound across the prairie... maybe "sound" isn't the right word. Choose from the below list:

a) hope (sounds like crickets in the field)

b) prosperity (sounds like wheat in the wind)

c) content (sounds like a and b)

Citizen: Hell, why would I buy it locally when I can get it cheaper from a corporate conglomerate which ran the local businesses out of town? 

Jonathan Richman: I can't expect that you're gonna see it my way but you may not know the trees I've known, and I want them to put back my old corner store.

Worry in Fertile Valley

"Lost Canada": Research Method Eleven . After the second World War, with only a small down payment, Canadian ex-servicemen could purchase viable land with the help of a government loan. They could settle their family in a rural community and toil for the the rewards of the liminal farm.

Hi All,

We've been a bit quiet on the radio front, as I'm moving country again so no time to put together the interviews.  However, we've been busy with the second release from DePatterning (aka Gary Mentanko of Wist Rec).   Full details below.

Thanks to all who bought the first release from The Laborer  - last few copies available.

Best wishes

Richard & Paul

Press Release:
Depatterning is the work of Canadian born Gary Mentanko, now living in Wexford, Eire.  Gary will be familiar to those who know his own label Wist Rec, which has been releasing ‘handy music handmade’ from the likes of The Humble Bee, Tape Loop Orchestra, and Loscil since 2009.  This is his first Depatterning project outside of Wist Rec. The title, The Community Pasture, comes from a land-management service provided in the Prairie Provinces of Canada started back in the 1930s, when Gary’s Ukrainian ancestors first arrived in the province of Saskatchewan. 

Side A is collection of 11 songs of pastoral hums and aural traditions with a decidedly synth-ethic featuring snippet of family voices and field recordings from the past and present.  On Side B, there is a 23 minute chat with Gary about the music, his inspirations and the wonder of the early electric age.

The Community Pasture

Depatterning - The Community Pasture - Album preview

01 Mind Bending Motorway Mix - Single Track

Garry Mentanko is a Dublin, Ireland based sound artist working in hacked and handmade electronics. Born in the late 70’s in rural Saskatchewan, Canada, his project Depatterning attempts to recall the haze of childhood through electronic interludes, rhythmic decay and the sound of farm equipment. Through exhaustive sound collecting and audio manipulation his goal is to catalogue a sort of “culture of lost Canada” and present it in ways nearly remembered.

“The Dimmed Homestead" the long delayed 5th release will be available early in 2016.  Future releases will continue to feature his work with the m-Log, various circuit bent devices, electromagnetic headphones, shortwave radio, field recordings and a not-so-slow computer.
