Louie Isaaman-Jones - August 2022

The month of Saturnalia is upon us. So here is an aural accompaniment for decorating the tree, sipping Glühwein and being festive.
I'm angling towards choral and early music with this one.  So there is a certain focus on Medieval and Renaissance aesthetic. Both, the original surviving sacred and secular works reinterpreted by modern ensembles as well as pieces by the contemporary composers and recording artists inspired by early music form and techniques. Some folk and jazz deviations are also included to keep things fun.

The show is bookended by the recitation of the extract from Virgil's Eclogue 4 having to do with Saturnalia and his prediction of 'forthcoming birth and a new golden age'. The text is in Latin and was considered prophetic among people in the early Middle Ages as foretelling of the birth of Christ. I'm not at all religious, but such facts and conjectures are very fascinating.

Ambient Abracadabra w/ Anders Christophersen 150124

Andrew Field-Pickering, commonly referred to as Maxmillion Dunbar or Max D, is in control of the decks for Truancy Volume 53. He is one half of the Future Times, the label responsible for some of dreamiest and tastefully retrospective music of the last few years. Coming from a background rooted in punk music, Pickering began his journey in high school through bands. At the same time his curiosity led him to delve deeper for the source material of the hip-hop songs he heard which brought disco and DJ culture to his attention. Musically, he’s part of Beautiful Swimmers with Ari Goldman, the lyrical front man of Food For Animals and on his own he’s behind the layered and synth-drenched music of Maxmillion Dunbar.
