Today’s mix premieres the new Corntuth record, The Nightingale Floor, which comes out next week on Flow State Records and Aural Canyon. “I made this record after what felt like a very long series of journeys that took me away from making music for a while,” Corntuth wrote. “Here are the things I overheard, the sounds and feelings that caught my ear during the time. They built up until I realized they were one thing and ready to share. I’m so glad to be putting this out at last. “ The first 34 minutes is the new record in full, followed by a playlist of influences. The influences include Synergetic Voice Orchestra, Yoshiaki Ochi, Oscar Peterson, Ernest Hood, Sam Wilkes, Woo, Susumu Yokota, and more. We hope you enjoy.
