    “I Am Norman Bates!” (What Are We Doing?) - The Word Docs

    “I Am Norman Bates!” (What Are We Doing?) - The Word Docs

    What have we been doing this year? Other than teaching through lockdown, eating too much chocolate, drinking moscato, and yapping away on this podcast... In this episode we get to catch up on the Word Docs' latest projects, which involve a theatre/film project which is not a porno (but does feature a dominatrix), music made in the Hall of Possibility, and more pseudonyms for the woman who has everything. What other writers do you know who can get kidnapped by pirates on their way to a writing gig? Like, for real. Not in their imaginations. And what other academics do you know who are willing to dish the dirt on what it's really like to be a working writer? Fine, lots of them. But how many of them also make ambient music? One. Sean. Well done, Sean. He's reason enough to listen to this podcast - especially if you're smart enough to listen all the way to the end.

    Episode 142: My Friend Lonelyspeck

    Episode 142: My Friend Lonelyspeck
    A quiet kid from suburban Adelaide, Sione Teumohenga always kept their passion for music private and locked away. Bit by bit and song by song, however, saw them unravel that shyness and insecurity to ultimately reveal a blooming, blossoming and creative songwriter. The last few years has seen Teumohenga at the helm of Lonelyspeck, creating some of the most unique and immersive experimental/electronic music that this country - or indeed any country - has to offer. Through Lonelyspeck, Teumohenga has gotten to play Laneway Festival, collaborate with Allday and even open for The Dillinger Escape Plan - and they're far from finished, too. Back in June during a visit to Sydney, Teumohenga had a chat out the front of a busy Surry Hills cafe and gave a quick guided tour through nu-metal discoveries, high-school bands and opening up to Ableton.

    Lonelyspeck's new EP is out November 15 via Good Manners Records.Abyssal Body

    Lonelyspeck will be opening for Baths on November 19 in Melbourne and November 20 in Sydney.

    Thanks to Sione Teumohenga, Hugh McClure, Good Manners, Two Good Eggs Cafe and Adam Buncher.

    The Unlikely Comeback Of The Cassette Tape

    The Unlikely Comeback Of The Cassette Tape

    There's a chance many have left the cassette tape for dead. Heck, I know I did.

    In recent years though, it's started to make a comeback. Cassette tape sales grew 23% in 2018 with a total of 219,000 tapes sold. If you go back to 2016, this represents almost a 100,000 unit increase when 129,000 tapes were sold. 

    This episode of Inside The Archives looks at why the unlikely revival of the cassette tape has taken place, whether or not it's a flash in the pan, and offering an explanation for the format's newfound popularity.

    Joining me is Doug Kaplan, co-owner of the Chicago record label Hausu Mountain. Kaplan specializes in releasing music on tape and has built an extensive network of like-minded musicians using cassette tape to share and release music. 

    Inside The Archives is available on Apple Podcasts and RADIO.COM.  Subscribe to the podcast, leave a rating and a review, and listen to every single episode.

     

    Episode 42: On Pauline Oliveros, with Kerry O'Brien

    Episode 42: On Pauline Oliveros, with Kerry O'Brien
    In the mid-1960s, Pauline Oliveros was a composer of experimental electronic music. But at the end of the 1960s, shocked by the political violence around her, she turned away from electronic technology and towards to a different kind of experimentation, which Dr. Kerry O'Brien calls "experimentalisms of the self." The immediate result of this turn was Oliveros's Sonic Meditations, a series of instructions for group bodymind practice. This work became the seed of Deep Listening, a sort of musical yoga Oliveros developed throughout the rest of her long career. Dr. O'Brien joins JF and Phil for a conversation on practice, "gaining mind," the ritual value of art, the wisdom of the body, and whether Deep Listening is really best understood as art at all.

    Jazz Bastard Podcast 150 - Let's Get Experimental

    Jazz Bastard Podcast 150 - Let's Get Experimental

    Crazy, daddy-o - it's an episode devoted to experimental music. The boys start things off by interviewing Sarah Bernstein, who discusses her career in music, her various ongoing groups. and her new album Crazy Lights Shining. Afterwards the boys plunge into some hard-core experimental instrumental music, to see just how whiny Pat can get (spoilers: very), and then finish by discussing a Rudy Royston release that has an odd front line but is still the most straight-ahead session on offer. Sarah Bernstein – CRAZY LIGHTS SHINING; Rudy Royston – FLATBED BUGGY; Thrainn Hjalmarsson - THE INFLUENCE OF BUILDINGS ON MUSICAL TONE; Andrew Bernstein – AN EXPLODED VIEW OF TIME .

    Created by Felicity Ford, the first episode in the the Cut and Splice Podcast Series features interviews with Mark Vernon, Bob Levene, Rachael Matthews, Lloyd Dunn, Joyoti Wylie, Joceline Colvert and the Sticks and String knitting group. The emphasis throughout is on what tape means, what it says, what its history is, how artists use and relate to tape, how tape behaves materially, sonically and imaginatively, and why tape is important in terms of The Domestic Soundscape.
