Sounds of Higher Altitudes (mix for 3/4 magazine)

I was asked to contribute some music to a lovely compilation of ambient-adjacent music by my friend Alex (Einerlei) for a young French label named Emerald Garden. We decided to contribute this piece together (you may have heard early versions of it elsewhere).

September Songs

Jelena - Case A Choc 27.01.2024

Shelter proudly presents: Mizgîn, a leviathan compilation of 18 tracks by 21 artists presiding on the cutting edge of electronic music. 

As we find ourselves in the eye of the storm during the most deteriorated epoch in modern history, Mizgîn, meaning "good news" in Kurdish, was motivated by the desire to offer respite from the horrors of the world. Shelter's ambition to unite different regional music scenes has once again brought together artists from nearly every continent, with contributions from legendary names.

This compilation is dedicated to everyone struggling towards the liberation of the oppressed.

Mizgîn releases on 17.05.2024 on all streaming platforms.

ESS is excited to bring to you our first set from the Creative Audio Archive's Artist Mixtape Series... The first mix comes from Lia Kohl!

From Lia ...

This playlist is organized around unlabelled tapes in the Sun Ra archive. In addition to many rehearsal, performance, and lecture recordings, there are a few tapes in the archive that aren't easily categorizable -- a collection of recordings of a voicemail machine, or a series of short synth improvisations, for example. I have a special love of uncategorizable things, so I gravitated towards these tapes particularly, including selections from the aforementioned two, as well as a tape that seems to be Ra tuning through the radio and occasionally singing along. The voicemail tape is actually recordings of voicemails left for Alton Abraham, Sun Ra's manager and good friend. I love the refrain of his most frequent caller -- "Ham pick up, pick up Ham" -- and the drama that unfolds with so little context. I'm drawn to the synth recordings because Ra seems to be truly experimenting: stopping and starting at places before finding a new pattern. I love to think of this larger-than-life man having a quiet moment in the studio by himself. On side A of the "radio poem" tape, you can hear Ra improvising words over the radio, but on side B (which I've included almost in its entirety), he only occasionally sings along. Instead of feeling like a piece, it just feels like we're listening to the radio together. The only edit I made in that recording is to cut short Hotel California -- even if Sun Ra wants to listen to that, I don't.


I also included some selections from the Malachi Ritscher collection: Mamadou Diabate Ensemble at Eli's Cheesecake World (this place still exists!), Rob Mazurek with an ensemble in 2005, and Milford Graves at the Empty Bottle. I love the aliveness of these recordings: that we can hear Graves running around the space with a whistle and some bells, people whooping as he passes; that the Diabate Ensemble's incredible playing is punctuated by children crying. Music is in space and time and real people are listening, then and now. 


In a similar vein: ESS recently uncovered a tape of Fela Kuti live at the Riviera, which I've included a few cuts of. It's really cool to hear Kuti live, but somehow equally wonderful to hear the unknown recordist offering a light to a friend. Which is to say that these recordings remind me that music is something that happens between people, and this playlist is about celebrating that.

"HAVING JUST FINISHED A SOCIAL WORK MASTERS, IT FELT FITTING TO REFLECT WHERE MY HEAD’S AT IN THE AFTERMATH, BOTH MUSICALLY AND THEORETICALLY. THIS MIX IS A STREAM OF TEMPOS, STYLES, RHYTHMS, EMOTIONS AND IDEAS. MORE THAN ANYTHING, I HOPE IT CAN GIVE SOME SOLACE TO YOUR TIRESOME DAILY COMMUTE.

SOUNDS AND THOUGHTS FROM THE LIKES OF; DISCWOMAN, ZAM ZAM SOUND, DUBSTEP-ESQUE BASS WOBBLE, ELIJAH AND SKILLIAM, PHOTEK, BFTT, ME, HONEY DIJON, NEINZER, BEN VINCE’S SAXOPHONE, TTT, TOMAGA, BIGGA BUSH, DAVID GRABER, GAUNT, ETCH, PIPPA GRANGE, EMOSH PADS, TIMEDANCE.

PLEASE BE AWARE THERE IS A SOCIAL WORKER DISCUSSING SUICIDE IN THE MIX, FOR THOSE WHO MAY FIND THIS A TRIGGER. THIS QUOTE IS FROM RESEARCH I CARRIED OUT IN MY FINAL YEAR AND I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO USE THE QUOTE AS IT CAPTURES THE REAL-LIFE TENSIONS AND CONFLICTS EXPERIENCED WITHIN A SOCIAL WORK ROLE.

HERE’S SOME READING TO COMPLEMENT THE MIX AS WELL. ALL PART OF THE STREAM IN SOME WAY X"
