At the Water's Edge

This past December, Adam closed out his great, longstanding show on NTS and I thought I'd pay homage by archiving a mix I did for him in July 2021. Free-flowing, genre-melding freak zoner mix moving between 4th world, gamelan, post-punk, kraut, psych, pop and other strange sounds. Enjoy~

Tender Buttons Guest Mix for Adam Oko on NTS (July 2021)

This mix originally aired in November 2022 on @soundecology1 radio c/o @fobbyjindal. Below you'll find a text I wrote about its composition:

"Years ago, I went to a lecture at York University by the filmmaker and scholar Mike Hoolboom. He gave this razor sharp talk on the idea of the first cut- the first cut into a project- the first gesture towards an idea. For him, no matter how dislocated a project got from its root causation- it would always at its heart, hold that root through to the very end. The first cut is always the deepest.

For this mix– I was interested in this idea of the First Cut in the face of imminent ecological collapse. How the first cut in our Planetary Crisis predates my body and is therefore unknowable to my body. And yet, it is from the place of embodiment that I meet our changing world.

On that note, it’s been an unseasonably warm November here in Toronto and my body’s feeling haunted. So for this episode, I’ve put together a mix of sonic hauntings. Bone shaking music– that pulses, throbs and rattles the body. Music from the depths of the heart that charts worlds real and imagined. I don’t have any answers, but I hope you’ll see this mix as a sort of research methodology into the act of listening. Listening as a way seeing or clairvoyance- as a way of considering what our world sounds like and perhaps what it is that we’re mourning. I named this mix after a pamphlet I recently found: From Electrical Fire Spirits May Be Kindled."

Pour combattre le froid de l’hiver et le monde qui ne tourne pas tou-
jours très rond, Kiko Ono t’a concocté une potion sonore qui sent bon
la sauge et le feu de bois.
Ralentissons ensemble le tempo frénétique de notre quotidien pour nous
caler à celui de notre coeur. Restons doux et à l’écoute et tout ira
bien &amplt;3


ANTIRÖSTI w/ Kiko Ono (26/01/24)

There is something magical about most dreams, it’s a shame I can never seem to remember what it is. They escape me and when I’m there my reality escapes them, though it shapes them. 
In a world where nothing matters but experience, tempo warps and voices could speak any language. I tried to chase that feeling of being adrift but somehow present. 
I recorded this shortly after a spell of insomnia when I was particularly grateful to celebrate the return of sleep & with it, dreams.
