Marionette Records label boss Ali Safi aka grimwig contributes a truly stunning mix of some of his favourite recent releases as well as upcoming material from the label.
“All this music means a lot to me and been listening to it quite a bit in the last couple of years - some of it on Marionette (released/upcoming) and some by artists I truly admire. It's all associated with strong visuals and personal memories - I travelled to quite a few places listening to this and it takes me back to the Scandinavian fauna and flora and the Canadian Rockies. I think of this music as quite vivid in general - like rushing through a gallery of expressionistic paintings."
Starting off with an exert from Louise Landes Levi’s IKIRU album from 2018 expressing bravery and wonder of the monarch butterfly species on the verge of endangerment, we travel through Richard Scott and Guiseppe Ielasi’s electroacoustic compositions to the closing track from Ernest Hood’s recently reissued visceral voyage “Neighbourhoods”. From here we are rewarded an insight into the upcoming releases from Ali’s Marionette label as well as a cut from Benjamin Kilchhofer and Michael Anklin’s 2019 release Moto Perpetuo. Later on, we hear Kali Malone’s Spectacle of Ritual fall behind waves of Cluster’s classic 81’ release Curiosum. A breathtaking sonic journey that instantly demands another listen.
