Out From Under #4 - Alex White

Hosted by Stu Buchanan, Out From Under dives deep beneath the surface of the Australian music scene, celebrating experimental and eclectic music from the far end of the world.

In this episode, we feature two artists pushing back against the tyranny of the machine in electronic music - capturing inputs and processing outputs in ways that rely less directly on spending face time with the laptop screen.

Alex White talks about Nadir, his noise collaboration with Ben Byrne, which rejects dark, power noise in favour of a light and bright counterpoint; and jazz musician Jacques Emery discusses the wide range of electronic output on his Sounds Are Sounds label, all of which favour art over craft, and – much like jazz - focus on a constant refinement of improvisational practice.
