Enjoy our 3rd episode podcast (enjoy for free) by St Placid, one of the proud members of the Househusband Radio taskforce...
A chill-out trip, ambient and groovy sometimes, dedicated to the birds, the 20th composers and electronic music anthems. The perfect way to have a rest just after the party, listening to : our mind, the nature, the silence...
"When the Giraphone crew invited me for a podcast as an outside guest, I felt really honoured and excited at first, and then quite anxious about what to bring to their project and what to share with their audience.
After some thinking, I finally chose to use the main idea of the Giraphone Records concept provided in the 'About' section of the site : "talking about Nature & Technology, in a dance-floor & ambient way…"
First I thought about using Ableton Live to arrange a mix in a clean and seamless, elaborate way but quickly realised I was not really enjoying myself, due to a lack of natural feel. Instead, I decided to use a bottle of wine, a selection of nature-related records (some very obvious, some less obvious), a mixer with some effects and three SL-1200 TT's (one can always use an extra TT).
As a result, some weird actions happened in the process and some transitions may not to be so accurate, but, then again, that makes sense with the theme, doesn't it ?
One last detail : it has been recorded on march 23, a few days after the disaster in Japan. I had already selected the tracks a few weeks earlier, and some of them became scaringly meaningful from the post-earthquake/Fukushima perspective, in their way to express the great parodoxical forces of fears AND hopes that reside in our deepest relations to Nature.
This is mainly dedicated to Doro, L., the Labyrinth people, Gaby (welcome to this world !) and to my bros at HouseHusbandRadio.com, my one and only Home !
Very special thanks to Mr Flamen for the invite and support. Hear you soon on HHR" St Placid
