Phonē to Logos by Porya Hatami

https://porya.bandcamp.com/album/phon-to-logos

This is an interesting 4th World dynamic. An excellent collection of ambient compositions and field recordings. Porya Hatami, who has never performed live, is based in the Kurdish city of Sanandaj in Iran.




He sometimes collaborates with a German artist he has never met in real life. His Twitter feed suggests he’s probably, at least economically, left wing. Here’s an elaboration on his views concerning instrumental music and politics from an interview he posted on his own website:

Quote:
Cyclic Defrost: Wordless music is often too subtle or oblique to be perceived as an ideological threat. Do you agree?
Porya Hatami: It might be harder to spot, but I don’t think wordless music is subtle or that it can’t be political. We know that some of the most politically charged works of the 20th century music are wordless. There are great examples in the work of Schoenberg, Xenakis, Messiaen, Stockhausen, Nono and many more. Stockhausen once said that “I can’t use 4/4 time signature anymore because it reminds me of marching Nazi’s”, so the music form itself can become political or a resistance to an ideology. Also, we have many examples of wordless music that were perceived as an ideological threat. Instances of this can be seen in the challenges that came across Shostakovich’s work or other musicians who were banned by Soviets and the Nazi regime.
The bolded composers are all included in the Freak Fighter Top 40.

A shoegaze record where all the songs don’t sound the same. Still captured the cool hypnotic vibe that makes the genre appealing.

The bolded are indeed great, but I heard my first Nono work the other day: very excited to explore more! I wonder why he's relatively neglected...

The first half hour or so here is especially recommended (Como una ola de fuerza y luz), but the piece after and then the Manzoni to finish off are quite good:



(if you haven't heard these already)

Josh did you check out the Rautavaara clip above?

ok

I’m going to take a break from the all things 2016 theme to interview Music Banter banger, Mondo Bungle, about his new album Desert Universe composed under the alias ZÖN available on Spotify and Bandcamp.

https://znmusic.bandcamp.com/album/desert-universe

First off, in the above introduction I assumed you’re male but I don’t know that for certain. Also, I described ZÖN as an alias.

Am I in need of any correction concerning my assumptions? Is Desert Universe something you created alone or is it a collaboration?

Well I just finished listening to it and it’s a real powerhouse. Congratulations.

Before I ask you what you used to make and record these sounds I’m curious where you were. Part of the mystique of music like this comes from how unknowable the artist’s surroundings were if they choose to keep it unknown. So I’m asking you to break this down for me as much as you’re comfortable with. Your Bandcamp says Lake Tahoe. That could mean anything from a twenty million dollar ski lodge to couch surfing and car living. In as much detail as possible where were you when you created and recorded this music?
