FANTASY - ORIGINAL VERSION

Jock Van Vliet: The Lake Within The Lake
In the world of flora, Stellaria Nemorum is the name for forest wall. 
However, the music that Joanna Pavelescu makes under this Latin alias is
certainly not for wallflowers. In fact, the basses and beats on her latest EP "The Lake Within The Lake" 
would blow any kind of vegetation out of the ground.

The titles of both the EP and the
tracks give a good indication of what the listener can expect: a pretty surreal, 
imaginative music trip through time and space. 
A dark journey full of disturbing creaks and moans and industrial 
sounds that occasionally start a surprise attack. With beats that evoke memories of the machine-experimental 
of Speedy J and sometimes relentlessly
grim, Scorn style distorted bass. 
However dark and heavy 
the ambiance is the addition of light with spatial sounds.
  As an accomplished alchemist, Stellaria Nemorum has managed to find an excellent balance in this.

The remixes also come from the Antiloungekamp,
The Hague quality label for electronic music. 
They are from Charly & Gallus (with whom it all started years ago), 
Olaf Wempe (Stellaria Nemorum's former partner in crime as the duo WG @ EET) 
and Foresense, who provides a surprising final chord with jungle beats. 
They all retain the bass-averse character, but are a 
little less heavy in terms of atmosphere.
Light at the end of the dark sonic tunnel. After which a listener with a cleansed soul and new energy can face 
everyday life again. 
After many years of musical pause, Stellaria Nemorum came back strongly with this extensive EP.

Call Back Carousel: Voyages en Grèce
 
An audio time-travelogue… A found sound road trip… A vicarious vacation…

The basis of this piece is a found reel-to-reel tape labeled ‘Voyage Grèce en 1972’ bought from a flea market in Brussels 15 years ago. As might be expected it is a document of a Belgian family camping holiday to Greece. One side of the tape is an audio diary of sorts documenting the trip moment by moment, much of the time recorded in the car in between destinations it seems. This side runs to an epic 3 hours on long play. The other side is a recorded slide show commentary over a backdrop of traditional Greek music at a more modest 2 hours. Although it becomes apparent that there is a wife (referred to only as ‘bobonne’) and child in tow we only ever hear the voice of the father. They don’t even appear in the background. Maybe they were mic shy or maybe they were just never given a look-in. Either way their absence on the tape is perplexing.

I had been invited to Brussels this summer to make a new radio piece for Radio Picnic’s ‘Musica per la radio’ series. I was also supposed to be going on a family holiday to Greece but because of obvious circumstances neither trip has happened. Out of necessity the production of this radiophonic excursion has been my way of taking a holiday without travelling anywhere – a sonic souvenir from a vicarious vacation.

In the composition of the piece excerpts from the tape have been combined with my own field recordings from holidays in Greece decades later in 2005 and 2015. Holiday memories of Greece from different times have been transposed on top of one another, intermingle and become confused. In addition, improvisations with a collection of objects selected for their sound making properties that were bought from the flea market at the same time as the tape have also been incorporated.

Special thanks to everyone who helped me with translations: Elina Bry, Selene Mauvis, Jonathan Frigeri, DinahBird, Anne-Louise Kieran, Sonia Dermience, Inès Guffroy and Meryll Hardt.

Extra thanks to Elina Bry for additional Athens field recordings.

A project by Radio Picnic with the kind support of the Swiss Foundation for Radio and Culture and Pro Helvetia. 

First broadcast on Freie Radio Berlin, 18th August, 2020.
