OMMA	Flute Of Seagulls   → "Flute Of Seagulls" by "OMMA"	Doma	Antinote	2020		3rd full-length album / From the artist (Olga Maximova): “DOMA” in Russian means “at home”. For the last 2 months, my home has been a small city close to the Atlantic Ocean named Saint-Gilles-Croix-De-Vie. I am there, luckily, surrounded by so many soundscapes: new birds, different noises of waves, thunderstorms, and hundreds of seagulls. I'm spending so much time observing seagulls’ behaviour, how they are making nests on our roof, making babies, catching fish on the waves. I was recording flute with open windows so you can hear all those Atlantic noises. I was experimenting with flute. Like the 1st track, it’s a flute singing to seagulls, then seagulls to midi and midi to flute chain. Some of the tracks sound like soundscapes or cycles which you can loop. It’s like a daily routine of moments that I have started to appreciate more and more during this lockdown, finding surprises inside myself without a mirror".		*	0:00:00 (Pop-up)

Discreet is a collaboration between Clara de Asís & historical flautist/composer Mara Winter / Discreet releases attempt to take what are conceived of as ‘historical’ instruments out of their hypothetical frames, transcending categorization and highlighting the autonomy of sound itself. These recordings come as an alternative to the dominant social conventions about approaching and listening to ‘historical’, ‘musical’ ‘instruments’. (from claradeasis.com)		*	0:13:04 (Pop-up)
Fog City / Ron Livingston, Gary Cole, Stephen Root, John C. McGinley, Jennifer Aniston, & all	Sidewinder / ...That would be great...I don't like my job & I'm not gonna go anymore...Do you ever watch kung-fu?   → "Sidewinder / ...That would be great...I don't lik...	single / Office Space	Mighty Force	1993		this track was the inspiration for the new "Sidewinder Rewound" collection of 19 new remixes of the song by various artists, which was compiled by Mark Darby / From Darby about the remix album: "An almost accidental project set up by Mighty Force Records to remix the track “Sidewinder” by Fog City, written by Matthew Herbert and Mark Darby in 1993. The original track (not included in this release) was inspired by a rattlesnake moving across the desert sand at night. The project began as a question on a Facebook post, wondering if anyone would ever attempt a remix. Mark expected maybe one or two people might give it a go but this very soon spiralled into 19 remixes each of which has a unique sound. All proceeds will be donated to Medecins Sans Frontiers."			0:22:27 (Pop-up)

Akio Suzuki & Lawrence English	Ficus Watkinsiana   → "Ficus Watkinsiana" by "Akio Suzuki & Lawrence Eng...	Boombana Echoes	Akio Suzuki & Lawrence English	2020		orig 2013 on Wind Measure / Ficus watkinsiana is one of a number of species known as "strangler figs," found in the rainforests of northeast Queensland & northern New South Wales. The seeds of these plants germinate high on the branches of other rainforest trees and send down aerial roots. When these reach the ground, they take root, thicken and gradually enclose the original tree which dies and rots away. Eventually a fig tree with a hollow trunk is formed. This species forms a large tree over 30 metres high with a similar spread. It has large, oval-shaped leaves about 200mm long and has a milky sap. The purple, rounded fruits are 40mm long and are edible. Named for Ficus, the Latin name for the common edible fig, & Watkinsiana, after George Watkins, a plant collector		*	0:38:12 (Pop-up)

Jovilabe	Fallen Moon	2020		In January 1610, while exploring the heavens with his telescope, Galileo discovered four small star-like objects around Jupiter. Having soon concluded that these were the planet's satellites or moons, he sought to establish their orbits and periods. The velocities of orbital motion decrease from the innermost to the outermost moon. All four display almost the same brightness. It was difficult, therefore, to work out which was which and calculate how long they took to complete their orbits around the planet. To determine the positions of the moons without having to perform complex calculations each time, Galileo developed a diagram—a sort of analog calculator—called the Jovilabe. Jupiter's position at the moment of observation was computed by means of a rotating disk. A moving pointer, fixed with an arm to the instrument's plate, served to determine the Earth's position at that same moment. The arm thus represents the Earth-Jupiter link, i.e., the observer's continually changing line of sight. The parallax value for any position of the Earth relative to Jupiter could be read directly on a scale on the upper rim of the instrument. The instrument is known as a jovilabe.		*	0:43:55 (Pop-up)

Efrim Manuel Menuck / John Hannah	Starling Troubles Sparrow / Funeral Blues (by WH Auden)   → "Starling Troubles Sparrow / Funeral Blues (by WH ...	Starling Troubles Sparrow / Four Weddings And A Funeral	Longform Editions	2020		Artist notes: Built out of one simple looped piano phrase. Filtered mechanically and electrically in real time while running through a pair of rattling guitar amplifiers, re-amped and re-recorded, until dust ensued. All of it happened while the sparrows and starlings battled in a pair of trees across the street from here. The starlings intent on stealing the sparrows nests. The sparrows call out and a gang manifests quickly, yelling and poking. The sparrows are better organized, and all the starlings have is brute strength. Song is dedicated to any all who rise thusly, together in spite of or not at all. / Read more from Menuck here: https://longformeditions.bandcamp.com/track/starling-troubles-sparrow // "Funeral Blues" by WH Auden: Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, / Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, / Silence the pianos and with muffled drum / Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. / Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead / Scribbling on the sky the message ‘He is Dead’. / Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, / Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. / He was my North, my South, my East and West, / My working week and my Sunday rest, / My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; / I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. / The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, / Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, / Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; / For nothing now can ever come to any good.		*	2:17:31 (Pop-up)

Johnny Cash	Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes   → "Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes" by "Johnny Cash"	Personal File	Legacy	2006		Album Notes: Deep within the House of Cash, Johnny Cash`s recording studio, office suite, and museum in Hendersonville, Tennessee, behind the studio`s control room, was a small vault-like space in which many of his most prized possessions were stored. A collection of rare firearms dating back to the 18th Century, some personal effects of Jimmie Rodgers, artwork and letters from fans all over the world and much more was carefully arranged and locked away for safekeeping. Then there were the tapes. Hundreds of them. Demos from songwriters, album masters, multi-tracks of the ABC television series, and some boxes marked simply "Personal File." These are Johnny`s most intimate sessions, recorded mostly in 1973 and then subsequently at his leisure. Just a lone voice and an acoustic guitar, singing songs and telling stories about them. A concept that has since come to be thought of as revelatory but, as is evident in this stunning new set, is something Johnny Cash had been doing all along - if only for his personal file. / The lyrics come from the 1616 poem, "Song: to Celia," by English playwright, Ben Jonson			2:44:58 (Pop-up)
