I was always completely drawn to Cass’ voice. I connected to her Bubblegum Pop ‘outsider’ numbers like “One Way Ticket” and “Make Your Own Kind of Music”. She wore her individuality as a badge of honor, and in this day and age, that’s certainly something to admire. What’s really amazing about Cass Elliot is how strong her persona still resonates through her music four decades after her death. Her voice gives a very clear sense of who she was. text/html 2010-03-31T12:43:35+01:00 http://www.discoveraworldofsounds.com http://www.discoveraworldofsounds.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=103&Itemid=126 images/mp3/Discover_a_World_of_Sounds_02.mp3 Cowboys and Indies is a song and sound clip-based mix that jumps from one style to the next at a breakneck pace. Initially I just wanted to do a quick mix of songs I've been listening to over the past months, but as with most of the mixes I start working on, a theme arises and I find myself struggling to make irregular pieces fit together. text/html 2010-01-25T14:31:29+01:00 http://www.discoveraworldofsounds.com http://www.discoveraworldofsounds.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=102&Itemid=117 images/mp3/2009.mp3 text/html 2009-12-13T13:40:44+01:00 http://www.discoveraworldofsounds.com http://www.discoveraworldofsounds.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=101&Itemid=121 images/mp3/Do_You_Hear_What_I_Hear_2009.mp3 text/html 2009-06-07T22:46:03+01:00 http://www.discoveraworldofsounds.com http://www.discoveraworldofsounds.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=99&Itemid=126 images/mp3/Discover_a_World_of_Sounds_01.mp3 Discover a World of Sounds 01 is the first show in a new series I’ll be doing to replace Mixtape Radio. This is yet another mix of offbeat storytelling, pop music, sound effects, and found audio. In returning to create these shows, I’ve begun to use analog tape recordings as source material. It plays a huge part of this first show including songs pulled from tape, reel-to-reel noise, and answering machine clips.
