Living Room n°45 ~ @irlhuman


q. pls introduce yourself

I'm IRL (a. harvey.) I’m a sound artist and independent scholar based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal.

q. is there a story behind the mix? how did it come together?

This mix was recorded during a late September sunset, in my studio in the Chabanel district. I always record my mixes live, meaning they’re mostly improvised. Generally, I work with a bank of songs I’m feeling and go from there. This one attempts to mimic the last dregs of summer: balmy late night thoughts, old memories bubbling up. 

q. in your opinion, what would be the ideal circumstances to enjoy your mix?

In a quiet, comfortable space. During a slow burn, orange sunset. Maybe close to the earth, close to nature, close to water. 

q. describe a favourite object in your living room…

A candelabra that a brilliant ceramicist/friend [Diane Garcia Ramos] made. It was recently broken by a houseguest, so where it used to hold 3 candles, it now holds 2. It’s a sacred object, I still love it dearly even damaged. 

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

So many! I’m working on a podcast about sound/healing, set to come out in the spring of 2023. Also, two sound installations, another mix for my fav MTL label, a track for a special comp, grad school applications, and an LP. My work brings me so much joy <3
