Loads of new (to me) found objects, and cross-cultural experiments. Free the Tubas. AND MORE!

Skip to Tracks
A whole lot of new (to me) finds and experimental sound clashes today. Some free jazz. A couple of full plays too. Get on your best headphones, and fasten your seat belts! PLEASE HIT US UP on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd totally love to hear from you!!
Slither (Theme)

Leading off with a totally new Arabic / experimental sound, from Nadah El Shazly. Outa both Ciaro and Montreal. We'll play the whole thing.

Nawa Recordings label is totally new (to me) too, and RULES! More up next too. And in future, for sure.

Another new experimental find, this time outa Beirut, Lebanon, from Two or The Dragon. Be fore-warned! Some very harsh sounds here. It is about the day-to-day reality of that place. Still, FULL of life! Enjoy, and yet run away or hide too. Full play of the EP.

Hi PeterB, Not a good day to be outside--time to hunker down to those indoor projects, like the Annual Paper Purge. Sitting on the home office floor, surrounded by documents and tuned into T.I.E.

EEEEEK! Paperwork! ;^)

I'd rather that than being outside when the forecast calls for pain (yuck!) BTW, really enjoying Loosely Connected, too.
