'A Year With 13 Moons' is out in Feb via Mexican Summer: http://www.mexicansummer.com/shop/jefre-cantu-ledesma-a-year-with-13-moons/

Pale Flower

Artist: Paul de Jong
Title: This Is Who I Am
Album: IF
Release Date: April 28, 2015

Paul de Jong is best known as the cofounder, cellist and resident found sound savant of the beloved, defunct collage-pop duo, the Books. Five years after that band delivered their final album, The Way Out, to much acclaim, de Jong delivers his first solo album, IF.

IF sets the Books' early albums (particularly The Lemon of Pink) as a starting point, and elevates that beguiling sense of wonder and amazement to genuinely transcendent new heights. De Jong's ability to find the musical in the mundane has always been uncanny — it is part of what made the Books so magical – and that gift is what makes IF such a marvelous curiosity, and such a true pleasure to hear. In de Jong’s world, everything around him is a potential instrument: his mind-bogglingly vast collection of forgotten private press regional folk records, spoken-word oddities of indeterminate origin unearthed in discarded thrift store piles, and various everyday household utensils that we tend to take for granted. One man’s trash is de Jong’s tool to craft yet another treasure.

Featuring a handful of friends and family as musical guests, IF steers a course from joyously eccentric folk-pop to humorously inside-out jazz, resulting in a refreshing piece of outsider art with a replay value that's off the charts.

Paul de Jong – This Is Who I Am

from the debut album 'the original faces' available 9/4

helen 'motorcycle'

Just used an electric cello and a Boss GT10 effects board. No loops, no delay, no feedback, no post-production... just live effects (reverb, distortion), foot pedal, and lots of bow control.

Originally written for the London Sinfonietta and performed by Tim Gill at Southbank Centre on 28th March 2015; this version was recorded with me playing the electric cello.

'Black Lake and EXIT' - (electric cello)

Created by me (Mark G Carroll)improvising on the electric cello, over a fabulous noise track created by Chad Langford.
Chad used supercollider to create his noise track.
I used an electric cello and a Boss GT-10 effects board*. Oh, and a bow with 1/4 black hair and 3/4 white. Give lots of 'bite'.

*First patch: preamp (very high gain) + distortion
Second patch: EQ + distortion, with the expression pedal controlling the level of distortion

'Domestic Axe Indents' - Chad Langford/Mark G Carroll

Modern Studies' debut album Swell to Great is out on digital, CD and vinyl on Song, by Toad Records on the 12th September 2016.

https://songbytoadrecords.bandcamp.com/album/swell-to-great

Modern Studies are a chamber pop band from Glasgow-via-Yorkshire. Their quietly experimental landscape songs are played on analogue synths, cello, double bass, drums, guitars, a wine-glass orchestra and, at the creaking centre of things, a Victorian pedal harmonium.

The band came together in early 2015, when Glasgow songwriter Emily Scott recruited old pals and collaborators Pete Harvey (King Creosote, The Leg), Joe Smillie (boss of Glasgow’s The Glad Cafe) and Rob St. John.

Working throughout the year at Pumpkinfield – Pete’s rural Perthshire studio – the band shaped a set of Emily’s skeleton songs, drawing largely from the salt and spray of the sea. This communal arts-und-crafts-werk resulted in their debut LP ‘Swell to Great’ (named after a stop on the wheezing old harmonium), which will be released on Song, by Toad Records of Edinburgh, Scotland in September 2016.

The band also began an ongoing collaboration with London-based label Earth Recordings in 2015, contributing a Shirley Collins cover ‘The Bold Fisherman’ to the ‘Shirley Inspired’ tribute LP. More releases with Earth are planned for later in the year.

Modern Studies will play a selection of UK shows and festivals throughout 2016.

Ten White Horses

this mix was commissioned by woofer (https://twitter.com/woofer___) for his bi-weekly streaming show (twitch.tv/woofer___) so massive thx to him for giving me a push to actually record something for a change. it's the first proper planned thing i've done in years.

"femboy heaters" is a chaotic blend of ideas i've been playing with for years at this point. back in around 2002 i started djing with my close friend arash moori in birmingham. we both had wide-ranging tastes and wanted to find a way to represent that musically; we also both struggled with neurological issues. the result was a mix cd we titled "at the left handers disco", a blend of idm, r&b, trip-hop, techno, rap, d&b, ambient and noise. we handed out copies to all the bars and clubs we knew in birmingham and they truly hated it. they were just looking for the perfect soundtrack to accompany the merciless gentrification of the uk's ailing second city.

since then i've been mostly flirting with similar ideas, sometimes less obviously, sometimes more aggressively. i eventually had a regular night in birmingham (with arash, and other friends) where we focused more on softer, more "playable" electronic music; when i moved to the usa i ran a night called spectral rehab in boston which went back to pure eclectic mashed up noise-bass weirdness; eventually i became part of DRAW, a local club-focused afterhours party. now i'm in berlin.

over quarantine i've had the opportunity to fuck with multiple cdjs a few times, sharing ideas and absorbing inspiration from friends. this mix is a celebration of ideas i've had for ages (i've clanged the miley x autechre blend so many times it's not even funny) and a few i figured out only a couple of weeks ago. it's a massive thank u to old collaborators and new and to those ppl around me who allow me to feel whole, without having to hide any of the spikes or cracks. i love u.

the mix is an accompaniment to my forthcoming split tape with my lovely housemate jake muir for boomkat's "documenting sound" series. both feature dialog elements from todd haynes' 1995 movie "safe" cuz im a nerd :)
