Our next guest for our Howlin' radio show on WAV is the ever friendly Basso from @growingbinrecords. In his own words:

Basso is a part time romantic who grows his own vegetables. Some says he’s an Eccentric. Who knows? We know that he used to be an artist, spending his days drawing awkward forms and making sculptures, sound installations and performances. In the nights he used to dj a lot. Sometimes even bi or tri-weekly (That was when he was younger – late 90s, to be precise.

Now he’s doing it occasionally only, but it’s way more fun. One thing we can say for sure is that he really likes buying records. Lots. Maybe that’s why he needs to sell some. www.growingbinrecords.com. He actually likes music THAT much, so he puts out stuff that gives him goosebumps. All these records are ace ;).  To write about the mix he recorded for the Howlin’ bros he needs to switch from third person to first.

Everybody loves playing with new toys and so do I. The mix is drawn around some songs that I discovered recently plus some rediscoveries of songs that have been sleeping in the shelves for a while. The second song is one of these. I fell in love with it a couple of years ago but then forgot about it again. The affection is even stronger now :).  In general I wanted to give the mix an Indian summer vibe. I have thought about sheep grazing. But after hearing those Little Fluffy Clouds (maybe 35 minutes in) I wanted to dance a bit too. And rap along!

Enjoy the ride…
Cheers, Basso

Pieter Kock - Facial Recognition (RIO08)

R.I.O. welcomes Pieter Kock aka DJ Peacock, one of the guiding souls behind the Berlin based bar/micro club O Tannenbaum. Musically active since 1986 as singer, guitarist, drummer and noisemaker, Peter already released a string of albums under different aliases like Billie and Ballie, The Hitmachine and Taladu.  Since the early 1990s he narrates haunting sonic stories as a DJ, playing a vast palette of styles - from cosmic and leftfield techno to tape experiments, sound-art, wave, world, jazz, punk, industrial, and all that weird pop music. Last year saw him liberating his first solo recordings under his civil name as a cassette tape named “Flocks & Murders of Entitled Spirits”, dropped by the Berlin/Vilnius based label Musikii. It unreels twelve sensitive tunes, made with the help of online synths and drum computers, Youtube travel- and talk show-videos or samples from Youtube synths- and rhythm box-demonstration videos. Now he refined his idiosyncratic style of music crafting a bit deeper and shares “Facial Recognition” – a gently twisted album that unites hypnagogic pop, library dances, cosmic funk, leftfield grooves and experimental sonic zones under one roof. His seven found sound tunes are layering a rhizomatic veil of unidentifiable web sounds, all transmuted into hazy looped ambiances, that trigger unconscious brain activities with future samples from the past, woven rhythm structures and a simultaneity of moments, derived from myriad world wide web informations. When it’s true, that nothing can have value without being an object of utility, then Pieter Kock managed to give the internet a new rate while using its manyfold informations as a tool to create art. Art, whose originality isn’t defined by the creator’s playful virtuosity. Instead, his sensibility of deciphering unheard rhythms, harmonies, and melodies in an avalanche of prefabricated ideas is his mastery. Pieter Kock transformed them into unfamiliar compositions with a familiar touch, that can evoke the feeling of being synchronous in a world of the many. A data rain without drops, a stream of consciousness without cognizance. Come in, drop out.

Enharmonic black cassette, limited to 100
Mastered by Sean McCann

Arp is the solo project of Alexis Georgopoulos, a composer/artist/producer based in New York City. Inversions is the latest chapter in Arp's evolving narrative, a diverse musical sprawl that has issued sets of captivating brilliance on the likes of RVNG Intl., Mexican Summer, and Smalltown Supersound. This cassette fortuitously bridges together Arp's shapeshifting identity, from avant-koscmische tinkerer to avant-classical composer and dance-floor modulator.

"Raga for Moog & Violin" and "Flamingo" were originally created for a sound installation presented at Jack Hanley Gallery in New York City in 2014. Both tracks were composed in the same key (C minor Dorian), chosen for its ability to be heard in great lengths of time, its root in cultures from ancient Greece to India, and its link to visions of futurism, Arp's sound installation reflects and refracts themes explored by both creative studio RO/LU and filmmaker Paul Clipson. 

Using a Moog synthesizer, and featuring Nicky Mao (who records under the name Hiro Kone) on violin and piano, the mode allows the listener/visitor to focus on sound at times and plays a subliminal, sometimes barely perceptible role, at others. Analog synthesizer overtones give way to violin, moving gradually at first, then building into a cascade of sound, before receding. This process regenerates over the course of the piece, each time doing so differently.

Inversions also includes "East of the Sun, West of the Moon," a track intended for the installation that was not used in the end. Here, it refinds its original companions.
