The tenth Amulet is an exception: part hymn, part eulogy, part elegy. Against the harmonious backdrop of her musical selection, the voice of FH HF recites chosen poems, including those of Maya Angelou, Andrei Tarkovsky, Forugh Farrokhzad and of her own writing. The soft-spoken lyrical journey, guided by the novel Georgian artist, conveys a heartfelt search for truth in emotion. "I Saw His Plane Taking Off to the Clouds", the debut album of FH HF, was released under the label @eastern-nurseries in 2019.

We’re back in lockdown. So we’re back on air, with some guests, some tunes, some book news, and…some other stuff.

Reza Blades and Kilford, along with Iceland Bob, join us to talk comics and Boltzmann Babies, there are X-Risks with Thomas Moynihan, a reading from Gabriel Catren’s forthcoming ‘Pleromatica’, plus a suspect audio package from Hyperdub’s Steve Goodman aka Kode9, and pro publishing conversation from Lower East Side celebrity and Sequence Press editor-about-town Captain K. Pickard.

SecondWavePod Day 4: A New Dawn

This week we are joined by François J. Bonnet, recording artist (as Kassel Jaeger) and theoretician, Director of Groupe de Recherches Musicales of the National Audiovisual Institute (INA-GRM) in Paris, and producer on National French Radio France Musique. We talk with him about the recent publication of the english translation of his book "After Death" (2020, Urbanomic)in the context of the current pandemic and the general externalisation and disembodiment of death. We do end up divagating about improvisation, the sublime, romanticism and other meta-musical tropes in the direction of François' most recent book "The Music To Come" (2020, Shelter Press).

Peasant Blends is a combination of medieval music and uk club sounds, both things very close to my heart. It's a journey through dark winter months, out briefly into the sun, and then to the club. Hopefully a trajectory we will all be on soon xx I hope you enjoy it, it was lots of fun to make.

@accessdevice nace como necesidad de crear algo real en un contexto inconcluso. El mix número #39 de JOIA Sound System presenta 50 minutos de sonidos etéreos y ritmos poco definidos pero al mismo tiempo muy orgánicos: todas las canciones evocan un sentimiento hipnótico e introspectivo.  “Un sentimiento con el cual vengo a reencontrarme ya de forma definitiva en mis próximos trabajos después de haberlo dejado de lado un tiempo”.

Mixtape #39 - Access Device

Osawa Tome is the ‘cosmic Appalachia’ alias of multi-instrumentalist, electronic producer, and North Carolina underground music scene veteran, Zeke Graves (Cold Sides, Datahata, Kinoeye, Northgate Syndicate, Ezekiel Graves, etc.).

Drawing on the vernacular traditions of the region, a love of minimalist and experimental composers, and a deep curiosity towards sound-generating technologies, Graves fashions a unique take on ‘folk music’ that wanders through ambient, drone, and new age territories. In true nomadic style, Graves declines permanent residence in any of these genres, instead opening up a meditative and transitory space where sounds can come and go, structures evolve and decay, and time just as easily run backwards as forwards.

Astute listeners will note the undeniable sway of creative beacons such as Terry Riley, John Fahey, Laurie Spiegel, and Roedelius. However, 'Mountain Minor' is primarily inspired by the Western North Carolina land where Graves was raised. Listen closely for the creek washing over the rocks, the insects chanting on a summer night, and the trees creaking in the winter winds. Take some time on the pathways of 'Mountain Minor' and hear for yourself.

FRKTL Residency @ HKCR ⊰ Ep. 03 ⊱

In the vast, unpredictable theater of now, Mattin and Miguel Prado surrendered to the whims of the unconscious, that masterful improviser, seeking to conjure into being a future that, once distant, now beckoned with the inevitability of a forgotten prophecy slowly, inexorably coming to fruition.
