Stranger Things (RIAFC 014)

A surreal and jarring train ride through contemporary India and Nepal. In 2012, Pablo Picco, from the Argentinian psychedelic folk/experimental drone group Ø+yn, and María Victoria Arener travelled through the chaotic Hindu faith city of Varanasi, the strange, mixed cultural landscape of Bhubaneswar, the lonely and romantic woods of Darjeeling, the introspective cityscapes of Kathmandu, the Buddhist temples of Pokhara, and many other vibrant and unknown places in between. This mixtape features cuts from their experimental travel film (Kalinga Utkal) and accompanying soundtrack, released by Power Moves Library & Sonido Atmosférico Ediciones, and their field recordings (The Bombastic and Repetitive Sound of Tashi Ling Buddhas in Pokhara, Nepal on the Greek label More Mars).

Leftfield Asia (RIAFC 016)

Mind-blowing Azeri electric guitar from Mountains of Tongues! Since the late 1960s the electric guitar has been adopted and transformed by musicians across the Caucasus. Inspired by traditional genres, such as the courtly mugham and the songs and tunes of ashiq bards, guitarists in Azerbaijan have developed a unique sound, new techniques, and styles of playing. Through studio tracks, field recordings, and bootlegs of live performances, this mixtape is meant to serve as an introduction to just some of the different eras, styles, and musicians that have helped to define the genre. The mix is also coincides with the release of a tape of archival recordings by the Azeri guitarist Rüstəm Quliyev on Mountains of Tongues label: https://mountainsoftongues.bandcamp.com/releases.

NIGHT MUSIC OF THE AMAZONIAN LOWLANDS - RIAFC 025

Night Music of the Amazonian Lowlands - RIAFC 025

Raw and electrifying field recordings from the Djemaa el-Fna. Recorded on location by Marco Tiara (Hive Mind Records) using an iPod classic with a little external mic. This from Marco’s notes: “My first taste of the exhilarating madness of the Djemaa El Fna was in 2003, some hours after arriving in the city. I was with my 3 children (our youngest was 3 years old) and we stopped to watch an acrobat who'd attracted a large crowd. He stopped his acrobatics and started to address the crowd in Arabic attracting some laughs; after some minutes it became apparent he was talking about me. He pushed his way through the crowd until he was standing in front of me and my boys, addressing me directly in a language I couldn't understand, becoming increasingly angry, to the point that I was drawing my sons closer to my side. He was almost shouting in my face when I noticed he was holding a small tea glass, the crowd was laughing and the whole experience was starting to feel pretty scary, when suddenly he held the tea glass up, his face a ferocious mask, and then smashed the thing against his forehead, shards of glass falling onto the ground between us. The crowd erupted in gasps and howls of laughter and we sidled away, shocked and a little overwhelmed. This was the start of my love affair with the place, a constant source of wonder, amazement and confusion. The music here is endless, the pipes and drums of the snake charmers start in the morning, the gnawi turn up in the afternoon, but as the sun sets groups from around the country set up and compete for the attention of the crowds. Banjo's or electric ouds are amplified through beat up old loud hailers or other makeshift speaker systems, men dance on upturned tin laundry buckets, violins, guimbri, the abrasive sound of the sawed rabab, and drums, never-ending drums...every night is unique but also the same as the last. These recordings were made during wanders around the square in March 2011 and March 2012. I'm sorry about the poor quality, but then again, I think you get a good sense of the energy of the place.”
