This is kinda where it all began those years back. The sound archives for this broadcast at PBSFM are long gone as they can only hang on to the files for a limited time. So, I figured why not create some mixes of featured music from In the Quiet shows I broadcast. And hey, let me know if you enjoy them. As always, thanks to the musicians for the music.

To open, we heard from local ensemble Children of the Wave who released their sophomore release, The Electric Sounds of Faraway Choirs - following on from 2008's Carapace. In February of 2012, a landmark double album of remixes, performances and recorded interpretations of the music of Meredith Monk was released. The project was seeded within the 2005 celebration of the 40 year anniversary of Meredith's performance career. Bjork, Caetano Veloso, Ryuichi Sakamoto, DJ Spooky, Lee Ranaldo, King Britt, Bang On A Can, Lukas Ligeti and a host of other performers and creators contributed to the live event and the recordings featured on this sublime compilation. I always liked to play with tributaries, or influences (whether imagined or supposed/intuited) when sharing an artist's work, and this is present in the music of Richard Crandell and Patrice & Leontine Maboumba. Naturally, sometimes a musical choice simply came down to kindred sonics.
The latter half of the show was inspired by the then newly released Brian Eno album, Lux. It was a pretty neat gift at the time to commence an ambient music show with such a musical event, let alone that Eno is synonymous with ambient music. And, in looking back through Brian's works, where better to begin than with the first volume of the Ambient series - Music for Airports. Sophie Hutchings had also released Night Sky a couple of months prior, a sublime album of her piano compositions, with some fine accompanists. Sophie was amongst a slew of pianists creating reflective, sonically detailed, post classical ambient works - Luke Howard, Dustin O'Halloran, Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, Olan Mill and Goldmund were others amongst the exponents of this genre.
