Stadiums & Shrines

 

Strange how they came upon The Mountains Themselves. First there was Daniel Klag, imagining the mountains themselves in static conversation. Then there was Nathaniel, just back from Alaska having spent much of his time admiring none other than the mountains themselves. Mix and motion, initially cued up by circumstance, now curiously applied to each other. Nathaniel would work Daniel’s 30 minutes of mist into three photos of his own from the trip, forming a piece that’s best left to your own interpretation—which we recommend arriving at with patience and undivided focus. Tracklist below:

00:00 Daniel Klag – Infinite Arc
06:08 Flying Saucer Attack – Since When (FOUR)
08:55 Fennesz – Shift
12:38 Growing – Southern Rites
17:40 Tim Hecker – Whitecaps of White Noise II
23:00 Alan Licht & Aki Onda – Tiptoe

Our friends over at exfm asked if S&S could peruse CMJ’s official list of artists and underline five favorites. They’ve recruited audio selections from four others as well, and will use the playlist in a showcase of their next-gen site at Pure Volume’s Smart Lounge event this Thursday night.

Blue Hawaii | Blue Gowns
Supreme Cuts | Jacy
Dent May | Fun
Dive | Sometime
Purity Ring | Belispeak

Wishing you all a nice, horizon-expanding week.

Dylan Khotin-Foote’s assignment was simple: pull together anything under the sun. And like the shining student of orbital electronic that he is, he turned in a report entitled Tears of the World At Large Bottled and Sold at Super Markets, documenting 8 choice items on a trip through atmospheric manufacturing.

Stroll the aisles of its tracklist, on your way to the checkout.
