Episode 10: Le son sauvage w. Anne-F Jacques

Amazing sound artist, label runner, contextual one-time author, unlandlord and friend since Esoterik days Anne-F Jacques joins us for our tenth (TEN!) episode. We start with 2-3 notes and the inimitable pacing of Mo Tucker, then go pure timbre and tape when actually it’s lots of notes and no melody.

• Lots of space between notes makes the notes feel less note.
• Ellen Fullman ditches long strings and creates rainbows in Poland. Boiling speakers bring the montreal rains.
• We discover that China is a big place and there is a lot of good stuff happening there right now. Rotterdam however is boring as hell. And so is the internet as a means for discovering culture.

Can things just be allowed to be things?

Contraptions!

• The power of patience.
• The heart of the speaker.
• We meditate. we destroy.

What’s going to happen next?
