hanging out with audiophiles

Id often hear about this man during my stint in Berlin in the mid 2000s.
 
Mostly that he had an amazing live show... who was this man?
 
There was a sense in my mind that he was a gothic mystery, a dark figure that coaxed mystical melodies from the tarot and such but it seems like he’s a sensitive and passionate follower of his own North Star.
 
 His upbringing in Denmark really captured my imagination.
 
Partly just reflecting on the simpler times and remembering my own childhood in the sticks and how music was such an elixir to a world with a lot less demands on the modern, dwindling attention. T
 
he power of radio to educate and mix it up, when things were all jumbled together a little would be one example of the way it was different then.
 
We get into that and I think it’s actually a huge deal. I would argue it’s the reason we have the music of Trentemøller at all.
 
 Anyway I’m running into a pool of the past here. I suppose sometimes that’s what a chat will do. Funnily enough I find his music to be exploring contrasts, paradoxes, and themes of reminiscence without nostalgia. Quite a challenge! There’s something familiar to the tones (especially the chorus which is a major sonic stamp on this music. It turns out Anders owns over 50 chorus pedals!!! I mean WHAT?) but the drums are fresh and the sound is vital in a refreshing way. Dare I say it almost feels light. Much lighter than I’d imagined it being.
 
Also he’s a song writer first and foremost and although the tone palette is crucial, the song always ends up being the main event and I tip my hat to the man for this. It’s not easy!
 
Lovely stuff. Hope you enjoy our rambles.
 
____ Music for EP133 comes from Clocks and Barometers.
 
The music you hear peppered through the episode is from a record called “learning through investigation”
 
Clocks and Barometers is a collaborative project between Dive Reflex Service and Lupo which began in the summer of 2023.
 
Excellent stuff which I shall not try to describe seeing as they kindly provided me with a link so you can jolly well go and have a listen!!

HOWA EP133 - TRENTEMØLLER

YO ho ho
 
ah.. it's a bit late for that. Sorry this WAS supposed to be a Christmas pod. The so called "escape pod" but I got struck with a brutal illness that is only just waning. I shan't linger on it as it's dull but I was down. Down, down, down like the pointer sisters are clearly singing about in "automatic".
 
This pod is brought to you remotely from Sedona Arizona. It might sound a bit less polished as a result but it's the content that matters :)
 
Welcome to this humble whee ramble with Roger Eno, who's had a long and successful career in the olde music game. He's left behind some mellow corkers.
 
If you've never heard “An Ending (Ascent)” from the album "Apollo: Atmospheres and soundtracks" for example... you simply must.
 
It's a true timeless beauty. The kind of track that if you were to have made it, you'd be chilling for the rest of your days. Quite literally. There's something utterly magical about that one and it really feels like a unique sound only possible thanks to Roger's sensibility. Of course it was a collaboration with Daniel Lanois and his rather famous sibling.
 
It must be strange to have a brother like Brian. As Roger mentions in this pod, if he's ever getting full of himself he reflects on Brian being Bowie's producer and it's all put into stark perspective. A silly thing to linger on of course and we dont get too into that for long but it's there.
 
This pod chat is mostly about him waking up and getting into music and literally how to get out ones way to let that inner music rush forth. Damn good advice nestled in this one I reckon.
 
Happy listening and see you in 2025!

HOWA EP 134 - ROGER ENO

What a treat it was to speak with the absolutely wonderful Suzanne Ciani who’s really a unique and outstanding woman in the world of electronic music.
 
We get into her early use of psychedelics and chat about spirituality and the inner
 “little voice” which is her guide in all things. We discuss eternal sounds, how her LP “Seven Waves” was constructed from a huge manuscript.
 
We listen to her snoring cat and chat tennis.
 
In fact there’s a lot of tennis talk here which is definitely a first and an area Suzanne is very passionate about.
 
Of course we talk about the exceptional Don Buchla and some of the excentric ways in which his modules behave even from one unit to the next. We also explore his attire.
 
It’s amazing to think of the time she came up in time when synthesizers were first emerging and nobody had heard these vast, pure and electric vibrations that were really unlike anything that had come before.
 
In this day and age so much it’s taken for granted and yet it all returns in the end to the sea.
 
To the ocean waves which of course she’s so known for coaxing in synthetic form so deftly.
 
Im so glad I got to spend a little time with the brilliant Suzanne Ciani.

HOWA EP 135 - SUZANNE CIANI

I met Matt Ross-Spang thanks to Mark Rubel.
 
Mark was an amazing knowledge and super generous chap who sadly died not so long ago. RIP to that legend.
 
I'll never forget that trip to visit some of America's most amazing studios.
 
We toured most of the iconic rooms in Memphis which is the city where Matt Ross-Spang has always resided.
 
We went to Sun where Elvis, Johnny Cash, Howlin’ Wolf all recorded and then on to Sam Philips recording service which Matt helped restore to its former glory. What a place! Just full of history and so beautiful both aesthetically and sonically.
 
Matt has had quite the journey.
 
He started interning at Sun Studios as a teen and now he has been awarded the key to the city of Memphis! 
 
Somewhere in the middle of this wild ride is what we spend of our time chatting about in this pod.
 
From humble beginnings to mixing Elvis, getting those Grammy’s and the key to the city of Memphis, Matt has seen and heard an awful lot of good stuff!

HOWA EP 136 - MATT ROSS-SPANG

Took me a while this one.
 
Sadly, as many of you may know, I lost my Dad.
 
It was a very long time coming and I was "prepared" but of course death has a power that yields a unique power and the grief has hit in waves. The first week was a kind of exhaustion, then I got to feel the sadness and the reality hit me in a new and more profound way. I talk about it here in the pod so I'll not linger too long in text form. Needless to say, it's been an intensely emotional time.
 
Shortly after this news I was thrown into full preparation for the first live show for the LP that is going to be announced (finally!) next month.
 
I was grateful to have my passions engaged in deep musical focus. Thanks to my wife and the amazing players that can to support me, the show was a truly beautiful event. Not one I'll forget.
 
So with all that going on, the pod has taken the back burner.
 
I had been meaning to air this Bibio episode for a long time.
 
A whole other perspective on the man compared to the first encounter. 
 
I hope you enjoy the west country rambles!
 
Thanks to all of you that shared your kind words with me about my Dad
 
love you guys
