Happy Friday!

Today we have some more new tunes, plus an oldie but a goodie from yours truly, Sasha P.

It’s an eclectic mix today, starting with another slowed down pop song, a little number about words and the body, music for animals and sounds from a dorm, perhaps your own! If you’ve got some cool sounds to share, message me @sashpetrenko. Happy listening!

Special thanks to Chris Vargas’s Art 280 and Art 328: Art and Ecology, spring 2022, the class that just keeps on giving!

Hello,

It’s going to be a beautiful day in Bellingham. How about some sweet sounds to accompany all this sunshine. We’ll start with another track from Sound.Out.Radio TA, English major, Chris Barrett, where he slows down pop songs to reveal ambient bliss. Then something old from Sasha P., crafted one summer in a Bavarian forest. Followed by some experimental tunes from Professor Chris Vargas’s Art 280 students. We’ll wrap it up with one of my favorite pieces of sound art by the masterful Hildegard Westerkamp, Kits Beach. Thanks for listening!

ARTXTALKX

Where do all the different art forms overlap? Where do they diverge? Can artists support each other across campus, across disciplines, to make a stronger, more resilient creative community in Bellingham, in the world?

ARTXTALKX is the newest show to be added to Sound.Out.Radio. ARTXTALKX will feature artists from disparate disciplines in conversation, asking questions, sharing process, strategies, projects and more. Right now we need curious artists of all types to help us build the first episode. Dance, Music, Theatre, Design, and the Visual Arts. What do you want to know, what are you curious about, do you want to collaborate across media?

Please reply with your interest to Sasha Petrenko. Interviews will take place before winter break, be about 20 – 30 minutes and can be conducted live, online or in person. If you have an artist friend in a discipline other than your own, sign up as a pair! We want to know what it’s like…. help us!

Sign up here!

 

Music for Animals, E1

Hello there Kiddos. This is Sound.out.Radio. I’ve got a real treat for you all today. Welcome to our first edition of Music for Animals. And I don’t mean just animals. We’ve got music for moss, moon jellyfish, Lamprocapnos spectabilis, ghost pipes, and of course the usual suspects, bats, raccoons, wolves and grey whales, new tunes from some beautiful human beings.

First up we have sound poems by Ryan Fisher, who was inspired by bats, Max Marsh giving us some sonic insight into moon jelly fish, Grace Wark’s soundscape dedicated to bleeding heart plants, followed by Suzy Moss on what else, moss.

Wow, where am I? Sounds great so far. We just heard a few more from Journey Rain-King Howden and her hummingbird soundscape which featured some fantastic guitar, Alia Masonsmith asking all the questions to salmon, Gabe Rubanowitz on his relations to black capped chickadees, and Lani Suyama atmospheric sounds on phytoplancton, that provide 50 – 80% of the worlds oxygen! Tiny and mighty.

Let’s round out the mix with a few more starting with Georgia Van dines ode to the tree frog, Tilly Bishop on the banana slug, Georgia Gehard’s watery work on the octopus, Steph Lasater’s surprising piece on the Wolf, what was once native to Washington state and is making a comeback, Aiko Enomoto’s soundscape about our raccoon cousins, a sound poem about ghost pipes by Nevin Wolfe-Sallouti, and finally, a remarkable piece about grey whales and the African diaspara by Hadley Hudson.

Thanks everyone for your research and creative work on this first episode of Music for Animals.

Listen for it late, 2AM and 5PM almost everyday. Till next time, just listen…..

Some more great programing on the horizon, can’t help but to tell, we are going to have our first interview show, ARTXTALK, featuring cross disciplinary conversations between artists working in a range of media, from the visual arts to dance to music and more. Stay tuned for more or if you want to get in on the conversation, reach out! Contact us. Cheers! Sasha
