Duration: 2 min 35 s
Description: Okay, done between 10 and 12:30, so its pretty mediocre, but I think it's respectable for a mostly looped track. For Ally, (but not in a seedy way) for the ego boosts.

Welcome to The Take Away Special, an interview podcast hosted by Tristan Fidler. Each episode, there will be a guest co-host to mix things up, and each episode, there is a special guest to ask questions of. Contains several segments including the illuminating and mysterious... 'Secret Perth'. It's all very loose.

Episode 1 features guest co-host MATT AITKEN (Magnolia's, Egg TV, Gilbert Fawn) and welcomes as a special guest, comedian/performer ALANA SCHERR. There's a lot to discuss including podcasts, parents, and anxiety. Then 'Secret Perth' explores... "North Perth Coles/North Perth Plaza".

12k is happy to present the debut release on the label from Argentinian composer Federico Durand who has had a series of amazing releases on labels such as Spekk, Own, and Desire Path. Federico and 12k crossed paths on a tour of Japan together in 2014 where the personal friendships among the artists and the label are such a part of what 12k is about. Sharing music and ideas throughout the tour led to an invite to make an album.

It’s no accident that Federico’s music has a dusty air of nostalgia surrounding it. It has always been a very personal affair. Songs inspired family, local life and the world around him are woven by hand with a selection of very physical instruments. He works like a craftsman, piecing together fragments of sound from cassette recorders, small instruments and loopers and creates music that’s as softspoken as he is. No pretenses, no disguises, just the most honest and down-to-earth music that can be made. Broken melodies spinning from tape reels, the sounds of bells and small found objects being played with care... The music is as beautiful as it is introspective, like a small window of antique glass looking right into Federico’s soul.

In his own words:

“A través del espejo in Spanish means “Through the mirror”. I am fascinated with the experience of putting a mirror in front of another: as a miracle, the image turns in a loop that flows into infinity. Loops in the mirror get less clear with each repetition, the color becomes diffuse and greener. When these loops turn into a lullaby we can enter the other side of the mirror: a place of delight and insight.

I always make simple melodies as they are born free. In many pieces, I use cassette recorders as an instrument that play friendly with others such as piano, lyre, toys, bells or effects. I enjoy the possibilities of cutting tape and making loops, reversing, and even using many tape recorders at the same time making air recordings of the sound. The Roland Space Echo or 2880, which are loop-machines themselves, match perfectly with this way of working.

When I see an emboridery I enjoy both the front and back where a mysterious, invisible world suddenly appears. For this reason, I am grateful to the natural sounds made by the machines, the crackle of loops and other sounds that appear while working, as an unexpected gift.

A través del espejo is a dream of beauty, A love of handcrafted music.” 

- Federico Durand

"First World Problem" by Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Artwork by Henrietta Harris

Lyrics:
When I woke
I found my phone in the bed clothes
and the curtain glowed crimson through the window
To think of her was to want her
Would you want me too?

She's got it all and yet
She's betting all she has on a first world problem 
You've got to understand
That I could be your man or a first world problem 

I know that I was better as a loser
She's eating birthday cake inside the disco
I may be lost but I'm a lost man
In love with you

She's got it all and yet
She's betting all she has on a first world problem 
You've got to understand
That I could be your man or a first world problem
