As a bit of a midsummer refresher, this week we step away from the sounds of clubland and sit back with tunes to unwind the mind. Whether you're chilling at home or out for an evening cruise, the Slowdown Special is back to soundtrack a more easygoing nighttime. Expect music from Nailah Hunter, DOMi & JD Beck, Roy Ayers, Lettuce, and a very special guest selector session from Toronto-based harpist and film composer Grace Scheele featuring 100% of her own original works!

Broadcast live Friday, August 12, 2022 on WERA 96.7FM Radio Arlington.

performed by Hanna Kinnunen (fl) and Lily-Marlene Puusepp (hp) on defunensemble's debut album DefineFunction

In mathematics, Curl denotes the amount of rotational flow at a given point in a vector field. In this piece, I wished to investigate juxtapositions of continuity and discontinuity. Manipulating the flow of material with this mind led to music that resists linear development, and often seems simultaneously to move and stand still, as if stuck in a whirlpool.

Stages of our lives come and go along with the people and the things we choose to give our time to. Some people that we meet affect us profoundly and others only there for a moment. We change as people and we don't stay the same for too long, the world doesn't allow it. Life can feel like there is so much going on and then it passes. The beginning of something new only lasts so long as until we become acquainted. The end follows suit sometimes before we want it to. This is a piece about these moments.
