Notes

I have a habit of gathering a lot of obscure music from netlabels. And this week highlights those releases.

Notes

In 2013 Ryno The Bearded offered to host the reboot of The CerebralMix on his streaming station. I decided to accept the offer.

Intersections In Four

Downloads: [MP3 | OGG | FLAC]

This week’s show takes a slightly different format. As I was working my way through the back catalog of music, I found that I had a number of tracks from EP’s that were just waiting to be played. In particular, one EP was an ambient work from Abyssal Plains, and another a more Trip-Hop Jazz fusion oriented work.

While stylistically the works are very different, I found that they shared a common element: the number four.

In the first half of the show, we are going to hear the “Fourth Quadrant of the Mandala” by Abyssal Plains. The mandala comes from the Buddhist and Hindu belief systems. They are frequently used for meditation and as a spiritual teaching tool.

In the second half of the show, we are going to hear “The Hard Changing of the Seasons” by Zero V. This work builds on many of the past jazz masters to present a different way of looking at the changing of the seasons.

Just a Bunch of Music II

Downloads: [MP3 | OGG | FLAC]

I’ve been compiling a lot of music to play on the CerebralMix, and I am preparing to start working with some more thematic material again. However, in the meantime this week I just went through the backlog of stuff that I’ve accumulated over the last several months to put together a set of music that is funky, rocks, and grooves.

Closing Notes

Special thanks go out to Amy for turning me on to Triplexity.

Next weekend is the Ohio Linux Festival, but that doesn’t mean that the Cerebral Mix will be taking a break. Instead, the show must go on, and things are already in place for Episodes 16 & 17.

That’s all for this week. I hope you will join me again next week for another adventure into the sounds between thoughts on The Cerebral Mix.

This week's episode is something of a surprise: a special request.

With the upcoming Ohio Linux Festival the second weekend in September, one of the OggCastPlanet members asked if I could put together an episode of the CerebralMix to help him fall asleep at night.

When I tried to inquire further about what kind of music he wanted for such an episode he responded: “surprise me.”

So, here's the surprise: an episode of the CerebralMix that reaches out in all sorts of directions from abstract dark ambient, to classical, to jazz and many genres in between...all while being softer and more relaxing for sleeping, and perchance, for dreaming...

Andrew Cauthen has been making a lot of music for well over a decade. A single man with a keyboard, a computer and the drive to translate the world around him into sound.

His interpretations take on many forms: techno to ambient, and numerous styles in-between, and a few styles that may be his own invention.

In this the first of three episodes of the CerebralMix, we spend and hour examining some of the early works of Andrew Cauthen as compiled on his “Early Ones” releases.

Closing Notes

With ten hours of music in just the compilation of his early works, Andrew Cauthen distinguishes himself. Not because his work is groundbreaking or different: in fact he uses forms that are recognizable and popular, and yet he also reserves space to investigate forms that are different and unique to his perspective.

And, that’s where the value of his work presents itself. Andrew is an interpreter of the world around him, and it’s his unique perception of the world that comes out in his audio interpretations.

The ideas and thoughts he investigates are put on level ground. It doesn’t make a difference if it’s a small idea (“19th Street Coffee”) or some unique and revealing perspective (“Time Is A Slippery Slope”). All ideas are explored deftly from his perspective.

And, this brings us to the end of the exploration of Andrew Cauthen’s works for this week. I hope you will join me again for another exploration of the sounds between thoughts on The CerebralMix.

The guitar is possibly one of the most unique instruments in music. It’s roots can be traced back approximately 3,300 years. Throughout history, there have been many names for instruments of similar construction (if not always similar in timbre and tone): oud, lute, cithara, and vihuela just to name a few.

The emergence of what could be seen as the modern acoustic (or classical) guitar occurred in about the 12th century in Europe. However, after the Baroque period, the guitar seems to have fallen out of favor until it reemerged in the 1800s.

The electric guitar dates from the 1930s. It’s first application was in the country swing bands of the period, allowing it to produce sound of equal volume to the rest of the band. Adoption of the electric guitar in jazz and rock assured that it was an instrument with a long road ahead of it.

This week, the first of a series of occasional shows, we present both acoustic and electric guitars in settings as diverse as progressive rock, ambient, jazz, death metal, blues, and more. So be prepared for just about anything in the world of the guitar, this week, on the CerebralMix.

Note: The track list currently unavailable.

Sunday is possibly the best day of the week: you aren’t expected to go anywhere, or do anything. You can sit back, chill with a book or newspaper, maybe do some cleaning or chores around the house. The pressures and expectations of the rest of the week are gone.

This weeks show is a mix of chillin’ and groovin’ tunes just right for a Sunday. From abstract ambient, to slow-techno, to funk-groove this set will give you the space and time to recharge your batteries to be ready for the rest of the week.

Sit back and enjoy the Sunday Chill and Groove Mix, this week on The CerebralMix.
