Song Of The Earth | Nonesuch/New Amsterdam | 2025 | David Longstreth's "Song of the Earth" was performed by Longstreth with his band Dirty Projectors - Felicia Douglass, Maia Friedman, Olga Bell - and the Berlin-based chamber orchestra, s t a r g a z e. Longstreth says he wrote the first draft of Song of the Earth in 6 “manic” weeks for a commission arranged by s t a r g a z e & explains, “The need for this music arose in a few days in Fall of 2020, when his wife was pregnant with their daughter. The fires in California were insane. We got on an empty flight to Juneau. It was the middle of the pandemic; no one was flying. The irony of escaping the fires by burning more carbon.” He describes what they found upon arrival: “The beauty and restorative cool of Alaska.” | * | 1:05:42 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |||

| Garth Erasmus |
Lucelle: Sista of the Soil (edit)
|
Thrednody for the KhoiSan | TAL | 2024 | In the early ‘80s, Erasmus was a painter struggling with his art’s relationship to the political situation in apartheid South Africa. During a state of emergency in 1985 which locked down many areas of Cape Town, he visited the Iziko South African Museum. There, he saw dioramas of the Khoi and San peoples of Southern Africa. What absorbed him most were the sculptures of musicians with musical one-stringed hunting bows stuck in time, mute, behind the glass. Erasmus had an epiphany: he would move away from painting and start recreating these instruments. “I did a very simple thing,” he explained in an interview. “I had no idea what these musical instruments sounded like, but I had a clear idea of what they looked like. So I simply had to use my initiative and build something similar and find out what the music was.” That museum glass serves as a powerful metaphor in Erasmus’s work. The Khoisan peoples continue to advocate for rights to land taken from them in a brutal history of colonialism, but their culture is often treated as an anthropological curiosity, a relic of the past only fit for study. By making riveting music with instruments inspired by the Khoisan, Erasmus demonstrates that their culture is alive and well and unmistakably contemporary. On Threnody for the KhoiSan, he plays a variety of instruments designed after that day at the museum, from the simple Khoisan bow, a curved piece of wood fashioned with a single string and a calabash resonator, to the blik`nsnaar, a basic guitar made with an oil can. Combining these with saxophone, clarinet, kalimba, and keyboards. | 1:45:12 (MP3 | Pop-up) | ||||

I would probably make creativeness your priority rather than the steel pipes thing.
Most media melts my brain so I gave it up. I feel better for it. I'm still enjoying some radio. ;)

My second plan (here comes a shameless plug), every summer, my guitar teacher does 2 camps for musicians in Northampton, Massachusetts. One for Django Reinhardt and one for Choro music. He just released the repertoire for both camps and anyone who loves and wants to learn these styles of music, I'm encouraging you to join. Much like WFMU it's saved my life. I'll be at Choro camp but both are amazing. Links for both!

The Wolf Moon was known to the Celts as the 'stay at home moon' because early wolves would be around at this time. I heard no wolves that night but a couple of foxes did some barking. It made me smile.
