Tip of the Day
Thanks to the deep digging Jude Rogers for hipping me to these tales of the Afro American struggle. Live field recordings of spoken, gospel sung & rapped reminiscences from the descendents of the Clotilda - the last ship to bring enslaved people across the Atlantic to America, & some of their neighbours from the Africatown neighbourhood in Alabama are fused in blues rooted, Afrofuturistic fashion with ambient recordings from the surrounding heavy industry, ancient instruments, sonic twists & so much soul. A poignant oral history of bravery, resilience & American shame.

Happy new year to the podcast crew, let's make 2024 a good one. The show is a particularly lackadaisical one, even by TSMM standards, sliding into the new year with some meditative finger picking, witch inspired folktronica, horizontal jazz, abstract & ambient electronica & finishing off with one of the deepest grooves laid down since '74.

Still warm....
A kaleidoscopic, psychedelic, improvised ambient electronic epic like the debut LP from Greg Dallas & Jan Esbra. After a long friendship these two finally made it into the studio to explore the intersection of effect pedal disguised guitar & modern electronica with a handy piano thrown in the mix as well.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Stream: https://ampl.ink/p6LV8 A Few Thoughts on a Few Things:
Women in Ambient Music
After asking for suggestions for women ambient music producers in a Facebook group, I decide to write a blog post listing all the (65+) recommendations proferred, and a few thoughts on why ambient music is such a mail dominated space. It's a new age of New Age
A brief essay on the history of New Age music from its 60's counter cultural roots to the mood playlists of today. I also have a pop at modern living, neo-liberalism & throw in an overly simplistic solution for good measure. What is Slow Music?
Who are we to say? But here are a few suggestions anyway. |
