The latest Unsound Podcast is from Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, composer of the score for the horror film 'Candyman', which he will perform live at Unsound Kraków 2021 on October 15th. (Tickets here: tinyurl.com/54pvzymz)
We asked Robert to create a mix that explores some of his favourite film scores The results include a spectrum of classics and obscure or forgotten gems, spanning experimental, contemporary classical, electronic music and beyond.
Robert says: 'With this mix I wanted to focus on several all time favourites of mine in terms of film music and all over film sound. Also I wanted to give the listener a window into my own process for scoring film. The way in which each of these examples navigates the cinematic space, they address a myriad of moods and genres. Whether tense, ecstatic, melancholy, reverent, absurd, contemplative or whimsical, each selection provides an intention and a pathway into the landscape of the world it finds itself tethered to. It is this connectedness that makes for an overall complete work and cements the idea. I hope you enjoy.'

Unsound Podcast 72: Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe

This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show features @deforrest-brown-jr, a writer and cultural theorist based in New York, who also makes music under the name @speakermusic.

In 2022, Brown Junior released his first book “Assembling a Black Counter Culture”, which in his own words, is a “historical science-fiction book about Black contributions to the electronic music industry.”

The book opens with a map from the album “The Quest”, by legendary Detroit electronic duo @drexciyaofficial, composed of James Stinson and Gerald Donald – who are the primary focus of this month episode’s mix. 

Created by Brown Jr., “The Myth of Drexciya” is a mix which features a sprawling selection of Drexciya’s discography from 1991 to 2002, revealing the “sonic fiction of the underwater civilizations’ aquatic invasion of the surface world.” 

The mix is accompanied by an interview with Brown Jr., who discusses collaborating with Detroit visual artist Abdul Qadim Haqq on his recent book, the influence that Drexciya have had on his work, and the best scenarios to enjoy their music in. Read the talk at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music.
