Maverick Mixtapes: Owen Pallett @WQXR

"I'm choosing Van Dyke Parks because to my ears he is the spiritual godson of number-one American Maverick Charles Ives. If I were to turn this into a thesis, I'd argue that as Ives was steeped in marching band, spirituals and concert hall music, Parks' ears are captured by mid-to-late 20th century stuff -- including but not limited to calypso, ragtime, 60's rock and psychedelia..... Though Parks works solely in the recorded medium and usually under the umbrella of 'pop,' his music is difficult enough to challenge and delight any listener." -Owen Pallett (via WQXR)

Bill Callahan - Heaven Help The Child

by Drag City

Bill Callahan - Heaven Help The Child
taken from the b-side of Mickey Newbury & Bill Callahan split 7”, now available via Drag City. 'Heaven Help The Child' was originally appeared as the title track on Mickey Newbury‘s 1973 album.

Bill meets Mickey on the street of impossible, unstuck-in-time dreams — as the late Mickey sings his back in '73, while Bill sings his "today." Both these master songsters put their own inevitable brand on Mickey's peerless original, but it's a new thrill hearing Bill cover a tune, something he rarely does. When it comes to the great Mickey Newbury, the answer should always be "yes." Help your own heavenly inner child by picking up and playing the grooves of these two sides of the same story. --Drag City

The Star-Faced One––based on the Sun Ra/El Saturn Archives

an excerpt from the "star-faced one" sound installation, 2010.


The Star-Faced One, the 6-channel sound installation based on Brian Harnetty's research into the Sun Ra/El Saturn collection at Creative Audio Archive in Chicago, was a 60 minute loop that ran nonstop at the Audible Gallery at Experimental Sound Studio in Chicago from November 12 to December 19, 2010. An edited version of the installation will be released in October, 2012 via Atavistic Records.

VISIT Scioto Records' Kickstarter page for a 7" single of Star-Faced One material (three non-album tracks), HERE.

Brian Harnetty is a musician and artist from Ohio, and his work involves overlooked elements of sound. Many of his pieces transform found material––including field recordings, transcriptions, and historic recordings––into personal sound worlds. For the past several years, this has led to a focus on projects with specific archives, including the Berea College Appalachian Sound Archives in Kentucky, and the Sun Ra/El Saturn Creative Audio Archive in Chicago. His music and installations have been performed and shown in America and Europe. Recordings are available on Atavistic Records, Ruminance (Europe), and Scioto Records.

His solo debut full-length "Långt från stadslivets dån" is available now on British label Les Cousins which has several reissues of Davy Graham's back catalog, and its bandcamp.

"Långt från stadslivets dån" (Far away from the noice of the city) was mostly recorded on the country side outside the town Lund where Christofer lives. The sources of inspiration are many but during the last years Christofer has been very much into British folk bands from the seventies like Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention and Pentangle. These type of songs have been combined with more rytmically driven songs. 2 years ago Christofer lived in Shanghai for 6 months and the improvisations you can here between some of the songs of the album were recorded in an oil cisterno of a Shanghai suburb. Right now Christofer is working on a new album.

Jozef Van Wissem & Jim Jarmusch

Jozef Van Wissem & Jim Jarmusch - Concerning The Entrance In To Eternity (via)

“Concerning The Entrance In To Eternity” is a new collaborative album between the well-known American filmmaker Jim Jarmusch (also known as a keyboardist/guitarist for his band, formerly Bad Rabbit and now called Sqürl and early 80′s NYC No Wave band the Del-Byzanteens) and the Dutch composer and lutenist Jozef Van Wissem (also known for the Brethren Of The Free Spirit, a collaboration between British guitarist James Blackshaw and Wissem). This project began when Jarmusch was looking for a soundtrack score for his upcoming vampire film "Only Lovers Left Alive" starring Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Mia Wasikowska, and Tom Hiddleston. And the three titles on the album was named after christian mystic Emanuel Swedenborg's work. "Concerning the Entrance into Eternity" is now available via Important Records.


“The titles of the songs are Swedenborgian mostly,” said van Wissen, referring to the religious movement that developed from the teachings of Swedish scientist, philosopher, and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg, who, after a spiritual awakening, claimed he could visit heaven and hell and speak with angels, demons, and other spirits. Van Wissem said that he had been reading a lot of Swedenborg, and took “like a sponge” to the mystic’s language. “It’s funny,” Jarmusch said, “because he’s like a Swedenborg freak, and I’m a William Blake freak. And he’s a William Blake fan, and I’m a big Swedenborg fan. So we mix our mystics.”
