KUOW mentions HER re FCC and LPFM
For those of you who don't know the initials, that is to say that local NPR radio station KUOW covered Hollow Earth Radio and other local radio stations' efforts to obtain a Low Power FM frequency to expand their existing web-streaming programming. More info here.

Hypnotikon: Seattle Psych Fest - this weekend!
 |
| Facebook | Tickets |
Hypnotikon is a two-day festival on Friday and Saturday, October 11 and 12th, 2013 at the Triple Door in Seattle, showcasing psychedelic rock.
Hypnotikon spotlights a kaleidoscopic range of American psychedelic music—blissful drones, mantric krautrock, raw-nerved garage rock, ethereal boogie, spacey epics, mystical heaviness, etc.—set in one of Seattle’s most lavish venues. The fest climaxes with analog-synth pioneers Silver Apples, whose two late-’60s albums still radiate timeless melodic and rhythmic brilliance. Graphic-art provocateurs Christian Petersen (I Want You) and Aubrey Nehring (Portable Shrines) provide retina-ravishing visuals.
Friday:
Main Theater: Cave, Lumerians, Midday Veil, Fungal Abyss
Musicquarium Lounge: Tokyoidaho, Ecstatic Cosmic Union
Saturday:
Main Theater: Silver Apples, Cloudland Canyon, Night Beats, Jetman Jet Team
Musicquarium Lounge: Brain Fruit, Karnak Temples
Both nights:
DJs: Explorateur, Veins, Skyler, Mamma Casserole, Self-Administered Beatdown
Visuals: Christian Petersen, Aubrey Nehring
As a preview to the sounds to come, here is the full live set Silver Apples played at the Silver Grapes Music Festival I produced last September in Bordeaux, France:

Adventures in Dubbing #1 - Aleks Jurczyk
Finally making some time to post about the tapes I won from Adventures in Dubbing in the Scotland via their Facebook page. I received a compelling package of cassettes all nicely packaged and full of disparate sounds to explore. I hope to make the time feature one of the cassettes on the upcoming episodes of Slow Music Meltdown on Hollow Earth Radio starting tomorrow 9/14. Broadcasts are from 12-2pm PST.
First up is Brutal Britain by Aleks Jurczyk. To quote the liner notes:
"The work ‘Brutal Britain’ was originally created as a soundtrack for a series of photographs that formed part of a piece on Brutalist Architecture by textiles designer, Emma Shannon. In keeping with the work it was created as an accompaniment to, the soundtrack was made using a field recording taken from a key example of Brutalist architecture in Glasgow, the Wyndford estate in Maryhill. This recording formed the basis for the soundtrack. It was then woven together with several live synthesised performances to form the completed piece."
It starts with a dark afterburner blast that slowly churns throughout, underneath electronics reminiscent of Wendy Carlos' work and what may be ambient recordings of birds or other wildlife appearing here and there. One embarks on a somewhat harrowing but fascinating journey - you are a bit scared, but don't want to close your eyes.
