Charas 023: Syncopation Overload

A concept I have been returning to again and again in making autobiographical mixes is Annea Lockwood's idea of a sound map, "an aural tracing [of a specified place] interleaved with the memories and reflections of its people". Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, *actually?*), I have been bouncing around a few different cities and countries the last couple of years, so my experiences have been super varied. I recently completed a marathon (for me, at least) 6 hour such mix-as-sound-map, with its own distinct emotional "beats". It begins *in media res*, in that it opens with a DJ Shadow sample with which I closed a previous mix (https://soundcloud.com/icarus-redux/the-great-beyond-2022-domeland), which I haven't heard of other people doing just yet! It also describes...how shall I say this delicately, my experience as a voice-hearer and targeted individual, something that I have experienced since the start of my DJ career thusfar (and in bits and pieces up to as early as 2010).
