Chris Clark's music is hard to describe, but if you wanted to explain it to an electronic music fan, you might use the dreaded term "IDM" to encompass the many strange and alluring records, some frantic, some chill, the UK producer has put out through Warp over the years. We can be a bit more specific: he uses field recordings, out-there drum patterns and all kinds of hardware (seriously, there's a lot) to make make meticulously processed music, some of which you can dance to. Lately, though, he's turned his attention to classical music, scoring films and televisions shows and culminating in last year's Playground In A Lake for vaunted label Deutsche Grammophon, which featured guests like AFRODEUTSCHE and Oliver Coates and a member of Grizzly bear on a moving, string and horns-led suite about climate change.

You hear all these ideas at once on Clark's stirring RA Podcast, which features music, as he explains, from 1922 all the way to 2022. Classical rubs elbows with Burial and Ricardo Villalobos, as once familiar tracks melt into new (mis)shapes. It also features plenty of Clark originals—maybe some glimpsse of the new album? The best part isn't even the formidable selections, but the way he puts it altogether. Far from a seamless DJ mix, this one is full of peaks and valleys and clever transitions that'll make you check the tracklist and wonder what you just heard. It's the kind of all-over-the-place mix that captures the brilliance of Clark's in a DJ format. Maybe he should do this more often.

Ôneyra // AKRONYM Podcast 033

Barkum Deer are Louis Giannamore and Jenny Ames, two talented musicians who met in a London house share and bonded over their love of early Renaissance music, black metal, and Björk. Amid the bleak reality of a winter lockdown, the pair found a space for creative collaboration unencumbered by deadlines or expectations, fuelled by the catharsis of experimentation. Jenny graduated from the RCA, and as a classically trained viola player, has performed with Björk, Floating Points and Mica Levi, while Louis is a drummer, producer, and graduate of Berklee College of Music who’s collaborated with the likes of Gang of Youths, Master Peace, and First Light Records labelmate Kinn.
 
Earlier this year, they released their debut self-titled album Barkum Deer (First Light Records, 2022), a dense half-hour trip into bass-rich drones, anxious strings and skittering electronic flourishes. Viola, drums, Jenny’s voice, and found samples (creaking doors and dusty footsteps) all come together to form a beautifully cinematic and abstract exploration. The track’s sound is designed with a special awareness that makes it something really special, endowing the compositions with a haunting enduring physicality. In some tracks, travelling pulsating drums make you feel like galloping on a horse’s back at 100 miles per hour; in others, it’s the viola pulsating or stretching, with its string's sound plunging into one body, pungently expanding and contracting within.
 
About the mix they have prepared for us, the whole of it is enveloped in found sounds and field recordings recorded by Louis: I've been on tour for most of 2022 with a band called Gang Of Youths, so I have had the opportunity to capture sounds from all over the world. There is a thunderstorm that you'll hear in there I luckily timed and captured perfectly, Louis shares.
The mix opens with a live version of their song 'Folding Fog' and an alternative version of -also theirs- 'Labyrinth', which is found exclusively on the CD format of the album. Following, there are two solo pieces by Jenny and Louis, both of which can be found online. To round it off, they say, we have a roughly mixed, unreleased song for Barkum Deer. It's not even finished, but I love the way it sounds. Referring to my comment earlier, I've been trying to teach my ears to listen to the world around us as if it were music. I feel this mix mirrors that. I'm chuffed about it.

We Have Sound w/ Francis Redman (*Clapton) - 06-Apr-23

Mad dog and purveyor of miserable electronics, Kinn, collages his eclectic influences into a singular pallet. Stitching film dialogue, YouTube rips, unreleased music and bootleg edits, re-contextualising these through sampling and studio processing. The mix becomes a meta-modernist narrative, dragging all of these tracks into the themes of Kinn's new album, Dogtooth (out on First Light Records 07/07/23).
