Post Global Solar Punk Glyph - mix by Jordan Christoff

A mix by DF (@dfduo) for Free City Radio.

Much to my surprise, all of the tracks I chose for this mix (besides my own) contain vocals. As a maker of instrumental music, I often overlook the impact voice can have on me. However, these tracks stood out when I reflected on the music that was important to me while I was composing Accretion in 2018. They still touch me.

Together, We - DF
All is Loneliness - Moondog
Memory Song - Meredith Monk
A00 B01 - Juana Molina
Hana - Asa Chang & Junray

A mix by Passwar D for Free City Radio. 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Passwar D is an alien frequency being who fell to Earth from outer space. Fascinated by human experiences and the complex emotions they evoke, it wires itself through human imagination and creates sonic art forms to articulate its earthly observations.

Described as "transcending time" by 432Hz Social Club, and "representing information codes from another planet" by Industrial Complexx, Passwar D's boundless LP release The Dead Of Synthetic Prosody is a mesmerizing blend of cutting-edge dance floor rhythms and immersive soundscapes that oscillate between the up-beat energy of a rave and the contemplative atmosphere of an art space. Released courtesy of Diffuse Reality Records, the forward-thinking state-of-the-art sound focused label. Passwar D forthcoming debut album Personal Cosmology was pe-premiered at Teorema Festival Barcelona, and it is the artist-in-residence at Brooklyn based music collective The DJ's Daughter.

Photo is taken by Stefan Christoff of a detail from a visit to Cynthia Girard-Renard's exhibition "Sans toit ni loi: The Cetaceans of the Saint Lawrence" that showed at the Fonderie Darling

Sharing a mix by Nawar Al-Rufaie @sandhillbeats who is also known as Sandhill. Nawar worked on this mix as one of the artist signatories to the open letter signed by 135 local Montreal artists to support Dollarama warehouse workers who are struggling for fair and just work conditions, full letter :

http://iwc-cti.ca/fre/les-artistes-montrealais-soutiennent-la-campagne-pour-la-justice-des-travailleur-euse-s-du-dollarama/

Nawar writes : "Selections were divided into two themes really: songs to inspire/uplift and others to evoke a sense of yearning for one's homeland. My motivation [to work on this mix] is pretty straight forward. I have a platform that I can use to help raise awareness about an issue that is almost literally at my doorstep (Dollarama across the street). We often hear about the struggle of migrant workers in places like Dubai etc., when we have something similar happening right here."

Nawar Al-Rufaie, also known as Sandhill, is an Iraqi-Canadian music producer based in Montreal, Canada. Having co-founded hip-hop outfit Euphrates alongside his late brother Nofy Fannan and The Narcicyst in the early 2000s, Nawar is a pioneer in blending classical Arabic quarternotes with boom bap. He has scored films such as Voices of Iraq and his music has been featured in major motion picture films such as Furious 7.
