In Sheltered Places

Sunless Skies

In 2020 I recorded 22 live improvisation sessions for my radio show called "Little Pink Fluffy Clouds". I have now started to release the works. In this first album I have assembled a selection of the vocal only improvisations where my voice was looped, layered, sampled and run through some guitar pedals and effects.

"Billowing, Grouper-esque folk-drone works for processed guitar and voice improvised by Paris-based Australian musician Karen Vogt. ‘I’ve been waiting for the longest time’ wears Vogt’s heart openly with a floating structure of melancholic chord progressions and wistful melody, before really blooming out in the 14 minutes of noctilucent pads** threaded with shivering strings that eventually introduce her harmonically layered choral vocals like a forlorn Grouper."   ~~Boomkat
**bless Boomkat for this review, but no pads/strings here. Made only with vocals, guitar & effect pedals. 
Mixing: Karen Vogt/Mastering: Stephan Mathieu/Design: Joe Gilmore/Released on Superpang Nov, 2022

Recorded originally as a live improvisation session at Karen's home in Paris, France. Later, she made some edits and added minimal overdubs to the two tracks. Karen plays electric guitar and runs both her guitar and voice through various pedals, effects and loopers.

I discovered Amelia Cuni's music via the stand out "new-age" release, Monsoon Point, back in 1995. While released through the new-age, Osho devotee musicians label, New Earth, Monsoon Point has significant cross-over appeal. 

I learnt that Amelia was an accomplished Dhrupad vocalist. She created a slew of releases that explored experimental hybrids that were reassuringly accessible. Amelia broke new musical ground, challenging norms, though deeply dedicated to traditions and deep learning. Many times, her partner Werner Durand, recorded and performed with her and between them, they have captured some remarkable improvised performances and recordings. 

So, I have created a mix of some of her works weaved in between a number of, what I feel, are sympathetic artists and composer/performers. 

I broadcast these songs on a fill for Ian Parson's, The Sound Barrier on 14.04.2024 at 106.7PBSFM. Here, you get no me, or breaks - I hope you enjoy the mix.

                                                Vale Amelia Cuni.

The songs:
Amelia Cuni & Terry Riley - Crazy World
Richard Skelton - In Ancient Fabricks
Amelia Cuni - Devino Amor
Ryan J.Raffa/Nico Rosenberg & The Svara Ensemble - Velā
Kazuya Matsumoto - Wind Blows from the Mountain at Night
Werner Durand, Amelia Cuni, Victor Meertens - caressing the air 
Karen Vogt - voices four
David Toop - Neo-Noir (Composed By Amelia Cuni/Werner Durand)
Madeline Cocolas - Return Home
Banabila and Machinefabriek - Cracked Dispatch
Wodwo - Every Day Is A Little Bit Easier
Madeline Cocolas - The Creek
Werner Durand, Amelia Cuni, Uli Hohmann - Seconds of Thirst

Weaving Amelia Cuni

Electronic musician and pop ambient pioneer Markus Guentner was listening to Karen Vogt's track "Cloud forty-three" precisely at the same time as the church bells in his hometown of Regensburg, Germany, were ringing at 21h. Guentner commented on how well the two sounds work together, and Vogt agreed that he should do a remix using her original vocal loop track and the bell sound. Guentner recorded the bell ringing the next evening and then proceeded to mix the two together.
Original bell recording by Markus Guentner included as a bonus track over on Bandcamp: https://karenvogt.bandcamp.com/album/cloud-forty-three-markus-guentner-21h-rework

Spirit

I'm a fan of experimental ambient, sound-art and global music/sounds, and then some. 

Between 2012 - 2016, I broadcast In the Quiet from the studios of PBS 106.7FM. My main intention was to explore ambient music from around the world in all of its forms - music that gilds, and sometimes engulfs our silences. I still fill in on PBSFM occasionally, predominantly on Hannah McKittrick's Soak - https://www.pbsfm.org.au/program/soak

Every here and there I'll post some mixes - I hope you enjoy them. ( Essentially, I'm using works created by musicians as colours on a palette - for an aural painting. That's how I see and would like my mixes to be received. )
