Next up on our OpenLab Selectors series is New York DJ & Producer https://soundcloud.com/old-terra with one hour of IDM flavoured atmospheric breaks.

“The drums are the melody. The first chunk of this mix is filled with a lot of bits and pieces of things I’m currently working on. Lots of spooky and intricate breaks with a few sort of sweet-sounding moments mixed in. The other 2 thirds of the mix is comprised of tracks by the artists I’m trying to emulate while developing my own style. More breaks, more moody stuff, more atmospheric stuff.“ - https://soundcloud.com/old-terra

I wore binaural microphones while traveling throughout New Orleans. I started in Congo Square on February 28th and kept recording through Mardi Gras March 4th. I've also added other media produced by Maya Deren, Mahalia Jackson, Kenneth Rexroth, Fats Waller, and Smokey Johnson. I've recorded and included countless buskers, many marching bands, Blackbellied Whistling Ducks, the Rebirth Brass Band, and I was lucky enough to secondline with the Red Beans and Rice Crew lead by the Treme Brass Band.

Cherry Tree Carol

Chicago-based guitarists Bill MacKay and Ryley Walker first met in January 2014 at a friend’s birthday party where they discovered a mutual admiration for Albert King, Laura Nyro, Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, Ali Akbar Khan and Jimi Hendrix. They soon began meeting at Bill’s southwest Chicago home to write and improvise together on their lived-in dreadnought 6-string guitars, with Ryley's 12-string and Bill's requinto making frequent appearances as the year wore on. The duo quickly developed their own musical vocabulary and the resulting sounds drew on traditional folk music from Appalachia to Northern India, as well as jazz and blues. Over the course of the year, an impressive repertoire of new songs and ideas coalesced.

In January 2015, Bill and Ryley took up a month-long, Friday night residency at The Whistler, a live music venue/gallery/record label in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood. The overall spirit of the residency was that of a creative workshop producing music that ran in directions as wide as the duo’s interests. Each week, songs took on new shapes, while others were written and added to the always-evolving set list. Alex Inglizian of Experimental Sound Studios recorded the final two shows of the residency and Erik Hall (In Tall Buildings, Wild Belle) mixed the seven tracks that comprise Land of Plenty.

Land of Plenty is completely instrumental and falls somewhere between Ryley Walker’s acclaimed new album, Primrose Green (Dead Oceans), and Bill MacKay’s highly melodic work in Darts & Arrows. Songs run the gamut from fingerstyle ballads to psychedelic waltzes and raga-inspired blues. Guitar tone was a key element when selecting the tracks that made the cut. Like their live set up, Bill’s guitar can be heard on the left of the stereo picture and Ryley’s on the right. Although recorded in a bar in front of a capacity crowd, it’s not until the album’s final seconds that the fourth wall is dropped and the listener can hear the crowd’s raucous applause.

Bill MacKay & Ryley Walker — Land of Plenty

Written + performed by Lyra Hill. Alto flute by Rob Frye. Produced by Tyson Thurston + Lyra Hill. Recorded and mixed by Tyson Thurston.

Death
always hanging around offering
grief, sickness settling lower
to womb, like pulled taffy
coiled and remolding

Death
how could you be anything but
cruel, to cause such pain? You
pour out suffering
it feels personal

I struggle not to follow the dead

Why can't you satisfy the need to be rid of you?
No matter how often you say you're going to
your absence, it is you

I never really know if I'm alone

I groaned, "I know myself so well that I'm
bored by my anxieties"
Ceaselessly meeting
I fear uselessness

I struggle not to follow the dead

Trying to sense when standing still is the appropriate action
I let the anchor fall from my lower back and bend forward, leaning away from my tether
the tension stretches all my ribs
my body shakes from the beating of my heart

I'm letting go, I'm letting go
I'm letting go of control.
