A selection of tracks I wrote about in my Octoblog. Because when we as musicians think about networking, we should think about appreciation and support. And because my own music is created from many tiny samples of already existing music, I am naturally very interested in the fact that all this wonderful music flowing through the ether out there finds the light of attention.

For this episode and for the followings, I wanted to give the floor to some artists I admire and respect a lot. I believe everyone has ideas, a voice, opinions they want to fight for. I believe we can aspire for a better future world through music. Today, I have invited @jaclyn-kendall to record a Mixing for a Cause podcast.

"TEERSCHWESTERN" - Trenkel - 31/07

"Ah, cassette #4-- a split release by two very dear NYC friends whom I've known for years via my involvement with the International Winners Collective. Each side is a single piece of music, each being distinctly different.

Side A is a solo piece for grand piano by Gabe Raines' Suncastle project. Historically, Gabe's work involves immersive, sitting performances centered around sublime drones with trance-inducing visuals and lights. It came as a much-welcomed surprise when I went to see Gabe perform at the Park Church Co-Op in the Winter of 2019. He enlisted the help of a large orchestra/ensemble for a performance of two new works. The piece on this tape, "Tonal Rainstorm", was the first of the two-- serene and percussive, with a very dynamic trajectory."

Octobird is a Pro-Jockey, Discjuicer and Music Lover born and based in Berlin, Germany. Someone who’s not necessarily looking for yet unknown sounds in electronic music rather than putting already archived sounds of a long-forgotten future into a new context. Trying to blur your brain’s reception of connotation and curiosity.

Working with sound fragments from old vinyl recordings and films is certainly not a completely new approach, but Octobird archieved to develop his own language from this heritage of Hip Hop and House Music. Strongly modulated microsamples, a handful of drum computers and hardware synths, and jams as raw as possible glue his musical output together.
