90-A

Artist: Jonathan Scherk
Title: Toon!
Cat#: faitiche 27
Release: Nov 4th 2022
Format: LP/DL

As his split album It’s counterpart (faitiche19, 2019) made abundantly clear, Jonathan Scherk is a master of his craft. Toon! immerses us in a highly distinctive world of plunderphonics-sampledelica-variations acousmatiques that’s impossible to classify while feeling familiar nonetheless. Following a strict two-minute format, thirteen complex sound constructions offer a range of experiences – as if the neurosciences had developed an acoustic formula capable of triggering illusions of memory. 13 tracks = 13 déjà-vus.

"When department stores dream . . .  epiphanies appear in elliptical rotations. Afterthoughts recalled on the beach as a child, soft-drawn and befuddling. Are they dreams? Are they metempsychotic leakage? With cup so full-brim, there’s bound to be spillage. Toon! is sleeping on-your-feet, in the light. The pleasure must be more than belletristic, but what’s left to say? Perhaps the sun is simply too bright."  Dzierzawa/Jelinek, 2021

NTS RADIO - DEC 27TH 2022

Composer, poet, and pioneer of the Byzantine era, Kassia stands as the earliest known female composer in history. Born in 9th-century Constantinople, Kassia broke new ground with her liturgical hymns, many of which are still performed today. A woman of profound intellect and spirituality, she not only composed over fifty hymns but also engaged in the theological and philosophical discourses of her time. Her legacy, long overshadowed by the centuries, is now being rediscovered, revealing her as a significant figure in the development of early sacred music.

For one hour, NTS delves into the enduring impact of her work on the musical canon.

Panorama Yerevan w/ Lucia Kagramanyan - Music of Gurdjieff Special 201225

After having told about women, trans and non-binary in experimental music in my book Basta Now, I suggest we just listened to them. Let's think, laugh, dance, love, fight to their music, drones, field recordings, extended techniques, improvisations, compositions, self-built instruments, abstract or concrete pieces, noise, soundscapes, graphic scores, minimalism, maximalism, avant-this and post-that. This show has nothing against men, it's just not about them – and they are very welcome to listen.
