Reviewing my notes from Susan K Langer's 1942 "Philosophy in a New Key" and thought you might appreciate this citation:  "Donovan's theory is, in brief, that sound is peculiarly well adapted to become symbolic because our attention to it requires no utilitarian motive. "The passivity of the ear allowed auditory impressions to force themselves into consciousness in season and out of season, when they were interesting to the dominant desires of the animal and when they were not. These impressions got further into consciousness, so to speak, before desire could examine their right of entrance, than was possible for impressions which could be annihilated by a wink or a turn of the head." 40 Since noises have this intrinsic and commanding interest, and the ear cannot be closed, they were peculiarly well suited to become "free" items where they had no biological value, and to be utilized by the imagination in sheer play." 40: Donovan, "The Festal Origin of Human Speech," - 1891

Loaten to Nicolas jaar’s essential mix from 2012.. it opens with that dialogue! (And is one of best essential mixes ever imo)

“I was recently asked to soundtrack between a live act at a venue that I’ve not played before on the island (El Silencio) I was a little unsure about how to approach it as I wanted to keep some energy for the dinners but didn’t want to be too obviously DJ like ahead of the band (who actually turned out to be one dude with a guitar and a vocalist singing in a Flamenco style)  I think it turned out really well. And more importantly so did the clients"

“With the end of the season fast approaching here on the island, we start the wind down process with the soothing voice of Cleo Sol and Pachyman's latest Lover's Rock album. But the party isn't over just yet..there's plenty of dirty bass music from the likes of Sivey, fresh boom bap from Kid Abstrakt, and a brand new Space Grapes release from Jeroboam to keep you moving.” -Sadeedo

'Lots of soulful, gentle, and jazzy vibes on this month's show as winter has finally arrived on the island..You'll hear guitar led music, ranging from the hypnotic melodies of The Malombo Jazz Makers, to the more modern, electronic infused sounds of Masatomo Yoshizawa & XTAL. There's fresh jazz from Jiyu, Andy Hay, & Greg Foat, while on the bouncier side we have music that celebrates the brotherly cultures of Sicily and Tunisia from Sidi Bou Said.'
