ROAM for the Holidaze 7: Gyrosonic Projections for Past Worlds and Future Times
Happy Nearly New Year, ROAMers! As the new year approaches we come closer to the threshold that divides us from Then and Now. It is a time where we look back to preserve just as we look forward to divest.   The two-faced Janus looks both forward and backward, blessed with a double-vision that allows for seeing into the future and the past at the same time. Here at ROAM, we believe that sound recording and manipulation allow sound scientists to create new hybrid soundforms that are capable of replicating the Janus’s peculiar visual enhancement but for the ears instead of the eyes. In this seventh installment of our ROAM for the Holidaze compilation we unveil the fruits of some of the greatest examples of this type of soundform cultivation. Listening both forward and backward as present memories give way to future nostalgias, our contributors share intimate moments, fantasies, nightmares, and the joys of making a racket. Won’t you lend us your ears for the latest in this sonically satisfying holiday tradition? HUGE THANKS to our collaborators (in the order they appear): Todd Fink. Derek Pressnall, Dave Hughes, Sam Martin, Dereck Higgins, Jordan Noel, Madeline Adams, Beije, Magicicada, Cole Alexander & Zumi Rosow, Katie Robertson, Clyde Petersen, Zopi Kristjanson, Wil Wright, & Longmont Potion Castle. Headphones required. [Champagne bottle pop SFX] Formed in 2009, ROAM is an experimental podcast series that features themed found sound collages gathered from artists across the world.
