Luscombe’s Choice – 25th February 2015 by Resonance Fm on Mixcloud
Before today, I had no idea who Will Luscombe was. I’m certainly impressed with his choices in jazz!
Resonance FM is quite a site for amazing podcasts.
Music
[Video] 잠비나이 (Jambinai) – Connection
Many thanks to dear Maryna Evilly from Ukraine for originally posting this.
The band is a new one to me. It seems that they’re from South Korea, and, at least on this track, they have a sound which reminds me of Tuxedomoon or bands from the legendary Italian record label Materiali Sonori.
[Sample] Amanar – Alghafiat
[Article] Vinyl or CDs: Tech Doesn’t Do Sentimental — Listening Habits Show What’s Next for Cloud
The article dates from January 30, but for those of you who missed it, Matthew Finnie pens an article for Wired on the harsh reality of the advancement of technology. It favors nothing but the consumer and convenience.
We, who love vinyl, or cassettes, or even CDs, will continually go the way of the dodo.
[Video] Verneri Pohjola – Live at Porin Teatteri – Pori Jazz Festival 2012
I had posted a video by legendary Finnish jazz-prog bassist Pekka Pohjola recently. While doing my usual stumble across social media, I came across another Pohjola, this one being Verneri. As it turns out, Verneri is the son of the late bassist, and is a fine trumpet player in his own right. Look for big things out of this man in the future.
Look for his latest release, Bullhorn, over at his Bandcamp site.
[Video] Cooper Raines – The Woman in the Mask at the End of the Street
The ever-prolific Qualo Infinity strikes again with another side-project, this one being Cooper Raines. Hazy, surreal, filmic, hypnotizing music, perfect late-night headphone trip music.
[Video] Þverfellshorn – Agnieszka
Simple, and sublime.
Luke Paine, operating under the moniker Þverfellshorn, produces lush pieces in a style reminiscent of Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson.
A special thanks to Albanian electroacoustic composer Ilir Lluka, who posted this piece originally.
[Video] Iraida Yusupova – Annunziatore Della Tempesta
A personal story about Iraida Yusupova.
Many years ago, I had run a record label (Falçata-Galia) which had a few releases. I was, and am, proud of every single one, though the label disintegrated thanks to many misunderstandings which the artists never had a part of. Iraida was one of the artists I desperately wanted to publish, and as it seems I’m drifting back into the trajectory of music again, it looks like a grand opportunity to work with one of my favorite modern composers.
This is a new work by her. Choral bliss.
[Sample] Nühn – Peacetime (More Than A Song)
A real treasure here. Nühn hail from Barcelona, Spain, and cover ground in all kinds of electronica. Here’s the twist: the vocals come off reminding me of a younger Vini Reilly, when The Durutti Column’s music was at its most fragile.
[Video] Pärson Sound – India (Slight Return)
This band comes as a revelation to me. Apparently, Pärson Sound compare favorably to The Velvet Underground, and have connections with legendary Swedish Progressive Folk band Träd, Gräs och Stenar.
I hope to come across more of their weird psych sounds.
