We got to interview one of Will’s favorite filmmakers Adam Curtis about his new movie HyperNormalisation. We talk about Trump, the curse of bloodless liberalism, science fiction, Escape From New York, living in the Zone, and tough medicine for the left. Adam was extremely nice and is now Chapo UK correspondent. 

We also plug our friend Katie Halper's live show and party this Wednesday, 12/14 at 7pm: https://m.facebook.com/events/211681455954839/?ti=icl

Episode 65 - No Future feat. Adam Curtis (12/12/16)

Marcus Fischer has been a staple figure in modern ambient and experimental music for the better part of the last decade. Characterized by his masterful use of tape loops, Fischer's works also build space and emotion through layers of baritone guitar and modular synths. His solo debut, 'Monocoastal', was released on 12k in 2010 to international acclaim. Over the course of his career, he has partnered with several artists: Matt Jones (as Unrecognizable Now), Ted Laderas/The OO-Ray, Simon Scott, Devin Underwood. His collaborations with Taylor Deupree, with whom Fischer released 'Twine' in 2015, are masterclasses in shared voice and restraint.

Fischer is a longstanding member of lines (www.llllllll.co), the online community that surrounds Eurorack module and instrument maker monome.

My second Freerotation yurt set. It was at a weird, uneasy time, just after the EU referendum result. The recording was played on Rinse FM by Ben UFO on the Hessle Audio show on 9/11/17 (thank you).

SUI ZHEN - SANPO 103

"I've pieced together some music here that has stood out to me for it's capacity to move me/you/us through emotional states. It's probably something I would listen to alone or with a loved one - I made it with my daughter playing blocks next to me and tugging on my leg at 15 min intervals asking me to read her a book. Thankfully they are long songs and she prefers short books. It was really nice to play some sad music together and enjoy the calmness that it created in our lounge room with her as I skipped between mixing tracks and reading picture books. She had a big nap after it was done. I hope you enjoy and go deep inwards with it if you can."

Rodrigo Constanzo is a seasoned improviser + performer, which directly influences his approach to designing software interactions. Through careful consideration of the needs of the performer, he builds software that can be easily manipulated through gestures akin to playing acoustic instruments.

Since 2011's The Party Van, Rodrigo has built many incredible bits of software, ranging from dynamic varispeed loopers to huge leaps in concat re-synthesis, but at the core of these tools is an aesthetic that can only be described as "lo-fi, broken, digital stuff."

Beyond the performance videos and audio artifacts housed on his website (https://rodrigoconstanzo.com), Rodrigo has also written a considerable amount of essays trying to understand the mechanics of how improvisers improvise. His findings are fascinating, annotated with interactive examples and self-reference. Rod's academic + artistic endeavors often play out as a non-linear looping mechanism.

(some choice ones: http://www.rodrigoconstanzo.com/thesis/, http://www.rodrigoconstanzo.com/2016/03/just-making-things-up/, and http://www.rodrigoconstanzo.com/2015/04/making-decisions-in-time/)

Throughout the episode, Rodrigo shares insights into his performance practice, unpacks the importance of formal training when working within an experimental context, and plants flags in the common ground between comedy + music improvisation.

As always, Sound + Process explores the artists of lines (https://llllllll.co). Come join the conversation.
