attack of the field mixtapes

ink flo ~ attack of the field mixtapes (2017)

field recordings mash-up mix (maybe first of its kind), that contains more than 90 recordings in one hour (exactly 01:02:03), that I taped in United Kingdom, India, Dubai, Czech etc. Its hallucination collage creating (un)probable encounters in (non)existing spaces, where ethno/electronic/psychedelic/religion music meets spoken word, musique concrete and comedy

Mixed in Excel (No added effects except few loops, slow-downs and reverses)

You may guess what to expect here from the description, but we warn you - it's definitely something hallucinative. Sounds come and go, but the overall effect accumulates through the listening, resulting in heady state. As if you returned after a long trip back home and you really wanted to return, but home looks different, like things changed... Weird feeling when everything is on its places, but something is missing. Of course it's you. But the feeling stays. So be prepared that something will change while you're missing from the real world listening to this mixtape. We warned you.

aunque últimamente casi no escribo en el blog sí que escucho todos y cada uno de los discos que me envían en esos emails sin respuesta, las cintas que me llegan a casa de vez en cuando (pocas cosas me hacen tanta ilusión, con permiso de los paquetes caracoludos, que la caja de madera que envuelve 'siempre hay segundas oportunidades en las montañas' de Lake Mary, editada con mucho mimo en Planted Tapes). dentro hay una nota escrita con un lápiz de varios colores: 'i hope you enjoy the music for many years to come'. qué puedo decir. es un alivio saber que, aunque siga faltando espacio para tanta música, siempre nos quedarán los terapéuticos recopis a modo de 'gracias' para hacer inventario y sentirse menos desastre. recopis que siempre servirán de excusa para hablar tantas veces como sea necesario de Günter Schlienz, de 'humble', tan modular y bonita que desearías escucharla una y otra vez, en bucle hasta el infinito y luego otra vez más hasta que fuera la única canción de este recopilatorio. 

'levitación' es ahora mismo mi canción favorita de Oliwa. las guitarras de Lake Mary transmiten tanta emoción oklahoma soul que me quedo muda, esa que en teoría debería transmitirme el fingerpicking de Daniel Bachman y Glen Jones.  hay muchos sellos y muchas hornadas que nos ilusionan (la de Rainbow Pyramid o Aquae, que es en realidad un complemento más acuoso si cabe de Exo Tapes), y muchas canciones que se quedan fuera, como la preciosísima 'blue highways' de Marcus Eads, una mezcla entre el sonido oceánico de Mark McGuire, Matt Mondanile y el calypso, esa combinación dulce en la que siempre hace buen tiempo y que me recuerda a 'saturday' de Black Eagle Child, que es, como dice rafa, veranil a tope. también 'archipelago' de Madalyn Merkey y cualquiera de Spencer Clark, los verdaderos herederos de Jon Hassell. y una vez más gracias a todos esos mixtapes-clima-de otro mundo y a las recomendaciones aisladas de Toys and Techniques, Sounds of the Dawn, Steve Targo y árbore (fwy! es music for freeways, mil veces sí). ¡chin chin!

llevaba casi desde el invierno haciendo este compilado primaveral, siempre a punto de terminarlo, pero, inconscientemente o no, echaba de menos una canción de Günter Schlienz, una canción especial que me diese el impulso definitivo para subirlo. hay mil canciones favoritas que se han ido acumulando estos días: Inner Travels, x.r.y. (nueva cinta en Constellation Tatsu), Former Selves, Les Halles, Lake Mary, Tim Robertson, Mango Differential (Inner Travels y Opaline juntos), Metro Riders (Henrik Stelzer de Fluorescent Heights), Apenino & Árbore (micrófonos de contacto igual a magia), Tuluum Shimmering (Jake Webster debe haber compuesto catorce mil millones de canciones, y seguro que las hace en el tiempo que los demás nos comemos una bolsa de pipas...sobrenatural), Sunhiilow, Daniel Bachman, Anne Southam (de nuevo gracias a Toys and Tecniques), Dura, Raajmahal (si Pocahaunted y Christina Carter volviesen a grabar juntas, a bajísima fidelidad, y sonaran las flautillas de Tuluum Shimmering y Komodo Haunts, seguro que sonaría así), Miaux... pero la guinda ha sido poder abrirlo con la que es ahora mismo la canción más bonita del mundo: 'games at the creek' de Günter Schlienz, que resume sin quererlo el espíritu de 'music heals the soul', uno de los versos de 'art and life' del entrañable Ed Askew. 'games at the creek' es un regalo caído literalmente del cielo en el último momento. una de esas canciones clima que transcurren como en una nebulosa, que dicen tanto con tan poco y que podrías pasar la vida escuchándola. como 'art and life', como todas las que están aquí, porque al final todas comparten un mismo sentimiento, un ambiente y un estado de ánimo. gracias de corazón a Günter y Adam por compartirla con nosotros. y mil veces sí, mantengo lo que dije hace tiempo...él, y todos y cada uno de los nombres que aparecen aquí, es lo más bonito que le ha pasado a nuestro micromundo musical desde Jewelled Antler. demasiada música 'heals the soul' en el mundo. a compartir, pues ~

p.d.: y luego están un millón de canciones antiguas, auténticos hallazgos de hace más de cincuenta años, que siguen quedándose en el tintero. son tantas y tan bonitas que mi próximo compilado será única y exclusivamente dedicado a ellas.
