Theo Baker shared 2 new pieces of music with us. Done in one take, using structured noise loops and elegant melodies. Dreamy and delicious and lo-fi infectious.
Dan Kirkhus shared a song he recorded using the Swinger 300 organ. A whooping good time! The story of the organ and its little rhythm machine is slightly sad, as it eventually gave way to time in his basement. You’ll recognize the sound, but Dan’s distorted treatment sounds so so good.
Jimmy Garver is working on a sound design for a new play called The Honey Trap. It opens at the Irish Repertory Theater in New York on Sept. 17. He shared a draft of his work on this show; a collage of hauntings and voices recounting the Troubles in Belfast during the late 20th Century.
David Garland shared 2 tracks from his new album The Spark. Each are solid, well-crafted stories delivering so much feeling and doing it with David’s gorgeous style. Buy The Spark on Bandcamp if you know what’s good!
Feathered Stone
You In Particular
Jack Van Sears shared a song sketch called Touch Hug. Simple in its instrumentation (one acoustic piano + Jack’s deeply felt vocal), the song is seemingly simple, but actually delivers unexpected, elegiac rhythmic sonorites.
