Cute new mix from cute new Dad - Izzy Demzky bringing the goods for our latest mix with a selection that makes us reminisce of mornings spent together in Kake.

FANDANGO MIX 021 - Izzy Demzky

I just found this one in a folder called Mixes By Yours Truly. Recording date 05.07.2010. Intrigued as I don't remember anything about it. Have I recorded this for anyone out there? Is it on Mixcloud? Is it named after the opening track by Liliental? Finally an answer!

Impeccable and unseen Italian-infused LP from afar. A big favorite.

The late '70s sleaze-funk-inspired title track spins a love story with an outer space being. It strongly recalls the best RAH BAND moments, featuring wistful orchestral progressions and a male/female vocal duet, in a cosmic fashion.

The other highlight on this album is this beautiful instrumental piece, recalling the '60s French bossa wave blossoming with Saravah.

Contribution number ten comes from long time label friend and multi instrumentalist Michal Turtle (@michalturtle). Q&A (excerpt) here below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Mike, how's life in beautiful Swiss? What's the story of you leaving the UK for Switzerland actually?

MT: Life is sweet thanks :)I've been here since the end of 1987, of course it was a lady story that brought me here.

MFM: Do you think that moving places changed you as an artist or maybe your approach to (writing) music?

MT: Once I got here, things quietened down a lot. I found a job in a recording studio, and started working with local heroes, some of whom I still do work for. The music scene here, compared to what I was used to in London is very low key, and I soon found quite a lot of time for writing my own stuff. The public has yet to hear (maybe one day) my early 90s output, but I carried on much in the same vein as the London years, albeit with improved technology. (this was my bronze age 
output, as opposed to the stone age London recordings)

MFM: Imagine if your inspiration or motivation ever runs dry, what place would you move to in order to find new?

MT: Geographically, it doesn't seem to matter to me where I work, if I'm on the road or on a long plane flight, I can work just as easily. If I don't have a (piano) keyboard, the writing style changes a little, and becomes more mathematical perhaps.

MFM: You have quite a background in musical education, correct? If you'd have to name one thing studying academically has taught you and which you still value today, what would it be?

MT: For much of the work I have ended up doing, I am grateful for my studies in orchestration and notation. I have written (physical) orchestral parts for real players, and they always worked just fine, and sounded as I imagined.

MFM: Experiment seems to play a vital role in your music, which never sounds the same and always rich of unconventional textures and musical combinations. Is that something you inherited from studying music at academical level?

MT: I would say no to that. My classical education was very traditional, and during it I was also experimenting at home and with other people, but the 2 elements never really overlapped. Luckily in college was a “state of the art” (8 track analog) recording studio, and the guy in charge of it was looking for projects to record. I ended up doing 7 or 8 pieces, multi-tracking everything. After that I was hooked on the recording process. (which I still am)

MFM: Did it ever cross your mind to work on a new album after your first and only one from 1983?

MT: In the late 90s I was discovering my production skills, and did 5 albums with my own project “wearedust” It was very much of that time, but some songs still get airplay on swiss radio, but as you say MFTLR was my only album under the name “Michal Turtle” I have written much new stuff in the intervening years, and there may well be a solo project of new material at some point.

MFM: Such a nice thing from you to join our mix series, thanks. You're not really a DJ right? How then did you approach making the mix?

MT: I've done several now, sometimes they are theme based, and other times it can be stuff I like and that has influenced me. This one is basically that, plus a couple of tracks from old projects (you may spot Lucianne and Tim in there) and a couple of more recent tracks by me.

MFM Mix 010: Michal Turtle

Aired on the Antwerp radio platform WAV.

The 2nd invite by HOWLIN’ is Chris Kontos: photographer, founder and driving force of the great Kennedy Magazine.

Some personal notes of mr Kontos on this mix and his magazine:
Kennedy started as a personal project back in 2013 with my good friend Angelo Pandelidis. Our aim was to explore stories from people we admired and create a visual diary of things we liked. Our first interview was with American director Whit Stillman which kind of set the pace for where Kennedy would go. Over the years we managed to interview people like Martin Parr, Pierre Le Tan, Arto Lindsay, Thurston Moore, Thomas Bullock, Joel Meyerowitz Tim Barber, Peter Shire, Ed Templeton and many others.

Our 11th issue is being launched at 0fr on January 20th in Paris during men’s fashion week. Its out most ambitious issue yet focusing on Japan and spread on 26 pages, is aiming to explore some of the Japans brightest individuals like musician Yoshio Ojima and record collector and DJ Chee Shimizu among others.

This mix was requested by my friends Jan and Patrick over a year ago. To be completely honest I had so many requests for mixes over the last year and I managed to deliver 0. I think im tired of making mixes and also ripping records has become a pain since I changed my hi fi layout at home.

There were too many tracks I could put in that mix and took me a while to put it down and finally rip some of those records. Also I have been buying a lot of cds lately and I never figured how to rip those! I guess I went for a mix with the stuff that I have been listening a lot and played out in 2019 like a track from Khaled that was one of my big highlights. As always a lot of japanese records ended up in that mix and tie in nicely with the theme of our new Japan issue of Kennedy.
