NoiseCast Session 08: "Acoustic Guitars, Vibraphones, and White Noise" [04.02.09]

First off, for all you NoiseCast addicts out there: I apologize for missing last weeks session which fell smack in the middle of Spring Break; I hope you all understand how whacky and out of hand that can get! Well- Despite the ultimate chaos suggested with in the intro, this weeks NoiseCast feels mostly toned down. Opening with an emotional track from the Japanese movie "Prisoner", this NoiseCast session finds it's best moments as a waltz from Tortoise's TNT is layered over a super cool glitch track by my favorite, Nobukazu Takemura. Soon enough my own recording, "I'll Meet You In Vahalla", which emphisizes a granular electric guitar sample interwoven between a slick moog-esque bass, is followed by a very unlikely NoiseCast canidate from Matmos. Topped off with a classic experiment composed by
György Ligeti recorded in the 1950's, this session highlights the dynamic variety of sound
which can be captured within the unpredictability of NoiseCast.

Featured Artists:
György Ligeti, Fridge, Tortoise, Matmos, Merzbow, Cal's Experiments, rachmiel, Fennesz, the Boredoms, Pan&Tone,
Homelife, Black Dice, Markus Popp, Nobukazu Takemura, The Books, and Jim O'Rouke & Otomo Yoshihide's "Prisoner"

NoiseCast Session 07: "A Quick One" [03.19.09]

I'll admit it: I was super late to my show, didn't bring any cassette tapes or my usual noise gear and I had no preconcieved agenda of what I wanted to create for this session, hence the appropriate title. I didn't even take the time to record the session live as I usually do so I had to reconstruct it in post. This was very simple to do considering I only played two tracks. The first track is a beat constructed around a series of 8-bit samples I recorded off an NES cartridge
entitled "8-bit Blunts". Soon following is the epic Glitch Run recording from the goliath noise troupe: Chief Grand Cherokee. Enjoy!

Featured Artists:
Cal's Experiments and Chief Grand Cherokee

NoiseCast Session 06: "An Afterrnoon with the Sioux City Kid" [03.12.09]

This week we mixed up a bit here at NoiseCast and invited every one's favorite ramblin' tumble weed, the Sioux City Kid (Jared Griffen), into the studio to performs an intimate acoustic set. An amzing session of folk, pirate, alternative country, and protest songs were sung and captured. The Sioux City Kid's delightfully passionate guitar playing, matched with a gritty voice carved out of years of traveling on the road and trudging through the thunderstorms of a folknik lifestyle, offers a humbling fireball of music not to be dismissed.

NoiseCast Session 05: "Sweatin' to Granular Synthesis" [03.05.09]

A hodgepodge-esque session, the latest noisecast focuses on noise influenced cuts, spanning such genres as rock, jazz, and electronica. Honestly, this session is wild. I didn't really have a plan for this session so it just kind of flows everywhere. Highlights include crazy jazz from the Thing, an interlude from the Boredoms, improvised cuts from
A Fashionable Disease and selections from Kai Nobuko, my new favorite noise artist. And, as usual, I snuck in a couple of my own recordings emphisizing the use of granular synthesis with computer applications. Plus, a special appearence from Porter The Dog, my guest DJ for the afternoon, as he drops the canine noise barking over the NoiseCast intro.

Featured Artists:
Kai Nobuko, Four Tet, the Thing, , the Boredoms, What A Smell, A Fashionable Disease, Susumu Yokota, the Slip,
World's End Girlfriend, Cal's Experiments, Manitoba,Andrey Kiritchenko, Insecticide Lobotomy, Sawsaw, Carlos Giffoni,
and the Music Nerds featuring Jon the Blaptist.
