does anyone know what this is its ethereal

just wow.. an amazing arrangement of sound dimensions

this is one of the most beautiful sets i’ve come across yet.

We are sharing today a new other people mix by journalist, community organizer and musician Spirodon from Free City Radio in Montreal. 

His words on the mix: This is a mix of local artists living and working in Tiohtià:ke / Montréal. It highlights artists that I have gotten the chance to work with directly around the intersections of art and social activism on a variety of fronts. All these artists have contributed in various ways to efforts to sustain and build a healthy, inclusive and transformative network for the arts in the city, while also working to explore the ways that artists can directly contribute to concrete struggles for change. Particularly I got the chance to work with these artists around the building of the Artists Against Apartheid concert series in solidarity with the BDS Movement to support Palestinian freedom. Others within this mix I have worked on artistic initiatives to support struggles for migrant justice and for the rights of undocumented people locally, particularly around the Immigrant Workers Centre. Also I selected artists who have been vocal against systemic racism and police killings for years, linked to community work over generations to build community power. Finally, I just want to say that all of these tracks are beautiful! Thanks for listening.

OP 𓅛 mix 27 - Spirodon

"Fascinated by all things ‘sound’ and ‘listening’, Nithin Shams stumbled across his passion for curating listening experiences. His artistic practice revolves around facilitating listening spaces that allow listeners to enter an open, empathetic and attentive state of mind. In his free time curates mixtapes and tries to make a living producing podcasts. Nithin is also a violinist, and is trying to build a practice around live improvisation with the violin, field recordings and electronics.

Nithin grew up in a multicultural environment in Sharjah, like many migrants from his home state Kerala (India). On moving back to India, he was faced with the conundrum of 'identity' - feeling like he always belong-ed 'else'-where and 'every'where. Listening paradoxically helps him ground his being in the space he finds himself in, while also allowing him to fly around in the dreamscapes of various musical traditions from across the world. This mixtape reflects his state of mind as he was transitioning from one home to the other. He dreams of being able to sustainably live his life curating listening spaces for people.

Nithin is currently engaged in an artistic-research project where he is recording the call of the Azan as it reverberates through the cities, towns and villages of India. These recordings will be used to create an archive, and also to compose a multi-channel sound installation. This project comes at a crucial moment where majoritarian political movements in his country are working hard to rewrite 'history', erase 'culture', and change what it means to be Muslim(s) in India.

Nota de Fakesamo: 

¿Cómo entrar en Violeta? 

El folklor, el canto nuevo, el rescate, lo político, el desgarro, la locura y vitalidad; sus costados se erigen como muros que eclipsan su esencia y labor. Sus búsquedas creativas van más allá de lo puramente musical y hacen que cualquier adjetivo que se utilice quede en falta; porque ahí cuando oímos su voz, su guitarra, su ritmo, está también la vida: recopiladora de canciones,  anécdotas, dichos, refranes, fiestas, descripciones de velorios; Violeta es “jardinera / locera / costurera / Bailarina del agua transparente / Árbol lleno de pájaros cantores”, como escribió su hermano, el poeta Nicanor Parra, cuya voz podemos escuchar al inicio de esta selección. Sus colaboraciones en Cine, como lo realizado en “Mimbre”, cortometraje documental dirigido por Sergio Bravo en 1957, y en el que dio vida a una pieza de improvisación incidental que no tuvo más guía que el curso natural de las imágenes; sus exposiciones en el Museo de Louvre, lugar donde sentada en el suelo, cantó y bordó ante los ojos maravillados del público; su residencia en el castillo feudal de Suiza, en el que elaboró sus pinturas y arpilleras; su incansable recorrido por la geografía y territorios de Chile, rescatando y visibilizando, como cuenta Víctor Jara también en este mix, la verdad, lo auténtico y real de las canciones que el pueblo interpreta por tradición y que va de abuelas a madres y de madres a hijxs; o su trabajo en la Carpa de la Reina, especie de peña montada por ella misma en la periferia de Santiago a mediado de los 60; son algunos hitos que no alcanzan, que no hacen justicia a su obra, porque siempre habrá un más allá por conocer.

Violeta, como un color, se forma de lo primario y elemental; en esa mixtura surge amplia y apabullante, frágil y violenta; su ímpetu oscila entre puntos distantes, desde la calma a lo estremecedor, desde el dolor más profundo a la vitalidad más intempestiva, desde el canto a lo divino hasta el canto a lo humano, pasando por sus composiciones poco ortodoxas y experimentales que, en todo momento y en cada formato, consiguen estremecer, abrir la piel y la carne para que la vida emerja con toda su intensidad. Su voz, como dijo alguna vez el filósofo, musicólogo y entrañable amigo de Violeta, Gastón Soublette, “supera por mucho su condición individual, es la voz de un colectivo, es la cultura chilena que no quiere morir. Ella fue capaz de decir la verdad ante los poderosos, y cantarles en su cara lo que pensaba, sin importar las consecuencias”.

¿Cómo entrar en Violeta? No lo sé. Solo descubrí esta forma; abrir lentamente las puertas, visitar cada una de sus composiciones, dialogar con ellas, aprender de ellas y estremecerme con ellas. Pero esta es solo mi forma, mi manera de recorrer su historia, una selección que nace de un diálogo y resulta en esta selección que, como en cualquier otra, abunda en ausencias y silencios. Pero ahí, en ese vacío, también reside una invitación: abrir otras puertas y dar con nuevas maneras de dar con ella. 

Este mix está dedicado a Laura Estévez, Fernando Guzzoni y Nicolás Jaar; cómplices de esta escucha. 

Selección:

1) En defensa de Violeta Parra.
2) Verso por Saludo de Despedimiento de Angelito.
3) Que Yo No Quiero Problemas. Tributo a David de María (Fragmento).
4) Anticueca 2.
5) Mimbre (Fragmento).
6) Qué vamos a hacer.
7) Mimbre (Fragmento).
8) El Gavilán (Versión Larga).
9) Qué he sacado con quererte.
10) Qué dirá el Santo Padre.
11) Mimbre (Fragmento).
12) Mimbre (Fragmento).
13) Santiago penando estás.
14) Maldigo del Alto Cielo.

La selección incluye fragmentos de entrevistas, las cuales se pueden encontrar en YouTube:

Entrevista a Violeta Parra en Radio Universidad de Concepción (1960)
Entrevista realizada por la television suiza a Violeta Parra en el año 1964.
Violeta Parra durante el programa radial con doña Flora Leyton, realizado en los 50.
