Inspired by Bronislaw Malinowski’s (1935) Coral Gardens and their Magic, this mixtape features lush forest soundscapes culled from vintage field recordings, excerpts from ethnographic films (Dead Birds, Kama Wasi, and Cannibal Tours), and the vibrant and haunting melodies of bamboo flutes, fugue-like singing, love songs, funeral music, insect electronica and more. Special thanks to B.G at the ishin-den-shin blog, Thomas Ladonne at MusicRepublic, and bolingo69 for sharing some of these records with us.

Aural Gardens & their Magic (PNG) (RIAFC 050)

A wild and unruly assortment of segments from the archives of Shirley & Spinoza Radio – helicopters; Iranian flute music and drum machines; confused tourists and Japanese folk; a warbled cassette from a dusty Kashgar bazaar; a clip from the 1970s television series Kung Fu; Thai molam; cicadas; Uyghur pop; shortwave radio; wolves; a beggar lady’s song recorded in an oasis town; Chinese radio commercials and urban soundscapes; carrier pigeons equipped with droning whistles; Mongolian throat singing; and more. Many thanks to Fausto Caceres for his fearless and inspiring exploration of both forgotten and new ways of making radio.

Fausto is busy cleaning his mother-in-law’s rain gutters but he did take a brief respite to offer some reflections: “Many of the clips you chose send me right back into the time and space I was in when recording them. Listening to clips of Uyghur language radio transport me to all those winter nights spent in my Urumqi apartment, surrounded by a dirty-ice world & the smell of coal burning smokestacks in the air. They conjure the surrounding streets with large hanging hunks of mutton and fur hats for sale all over the place; my frozen mustache; the sounds of my neighbors walking up the stairwell every day making their unique, individual ‘hooting’ calls to activate the sound-triggered lights at each level; fully kitted PLA soldiers marching in the street; calls to prayer; and the dense, addictive collection of music shops and stands selling local cds. Re: the beggar lady singing 'Rosilem' in an oasis town called Artux, I recorded about half hour with her in a quiet, dusty courtyard off the street. Several local kids quietly appeared on the surrounding rooftops to quietly watch.

There’s a clip in there in Uyghur (a radio commercial for some local store) that starts “Aiygul ma! Nime'sh te!” (basically, just ‘what’s up Aigul!’ I used to just say that often to my local Uyghur friends in that same voice to their amusement as some sort of inside joke about my radio operating “pastime”.  My first year, I lived in a compound with all the local artists / musicians that were employed by the government, so I'd bump into the 'radio voices' and musicians I’d become familiar with at the local market all the time. Also within, you hear the annual September 18th air raid sirens commemorating the invasion by the Japanese; the megaphones at the Uyghur bazaar shouting prices; the pigeons (with attached drone whistle) circling my 6th floor apartment…  some fragments of Yunnan radio from later years. 

The earlier era clips you selected from the Oakland studio years seem to imagine some fantasy Sci-Lo-Fi version of what the coming years living in the PRC might bring.  I guess they weren’t so far off!

It’s always felt totally organic and personal to weave all these sounds and recordings spanning so many years into s&S Radio and particularly cool to hear these bits again assembled this way through your ears. I hope your fans enjoy! – Fausto Caceres (06/09/2021)

The coup plotters took over the radio and television and shut down a lot of commercial stations.  A few days after the coup, however, a pirate radio station took to the air, ‘La Radio de la Resistance’.  The station was broadcasting using a mobile transmitter calling on all Burkinabé to resist, to fight the plotters.  The station would broadcast communiqués and revolutionary songs and a casio keyboard interpretation of the national anthem.  The signal was horrible but I loved their call sign.
