I'm pretty sure most of you know that the primary purpose of this blog is to serve as a kind of listening diary. I just wanted a way to catalogue the things I loved that I was listening to on Bandcamp. If anyone wanted to ride along, great.
Every once in a while, I want to catalogue something that is outside my normal lane. People Like Us (Vicki Bennett - London, England) has been making audio collages since the early 1990s, and while that doesn't sound like something I would normally like, I found myself listening to the newest People Like Us album, "Copia" over and over. In ways it reminds me of a similar feeling I get when I listen to The Caretaker or Foxi Euler Sydikat (Frischluft! Tonträger - if you want to listen to a great compilation from 2020, here you are).
For this album, Bennett collaborated "with the voices, instruments and editing timelines of Matmos, Hearty White, Gwilly Edmondez, Lottie Bowater, Buttress O’Kneel, Douglas Benford, Irene Moon, Jon Leidecker, and Matt Warwick."
"Copia" was released last year by British label Discrepant.
PRAED Orchestra! - The Dictionary of Lost Meanings
Known for their signature blend of Egyptian Shaabi, free jazz and improvisation, the Lebanese duo behind PRAED - Raed Yassin and Paed Conca - now assemble a full orchestra for the second time taking the music to a deeper, rooted level. Following their 2020 release Live in Sharjah, also under the PRAED Orchestra! moniker, the duo now revisit their unique blend of Arabic heritage and free jazz sensibilities with an album that keeps pushing further into strange and unexpected directions. The Dictionary of Lost Meanings is just that, seven fully composed pieces and large-scale improvisations, performed by an expanded ensemble of musicians from across the globe. The result is dense and playful, unpredictable but familiar, a record where Arabic rhythms and microtonal melodies collide playfully against electronics, warped vocals and orchestral textures. It’s less about genre than about memory — like tuning into a radio station broadcasting from somewhere between the past and the future. PRAED continue to blur the line between popular culture and experimental music in ways that feel both grounded and completely their own.
