'Providencia' - Catriel Nievas, 2016

During my stay in Santiago de Chile in 2016, I tried to record relationship between the sound of the city, the cars, the people, the wind and the heavy clouds of smog that cross over buildings. The sound of the music in its different appearances and forms also became important. Within these relationships, dialogue in different languages contaminate each other, and finally become one.

Merrie Melodias is back with a new series and new rubrics! And that means new digger discoveries are waiting for you from the bottomless catalogue of the Soviet major label Melodia. As is good tradition, we start with an episode about folk music. This episode features melodies from Central Asia, the Lesser Caucasus, the Baltic States, Africa and South America and other countries of the world.

This episode highlights the intersection of the sound of the world's three main musical instruments - the lute, the lyre and the reed pipe - with each country having its own modification and name. This is the story of how the sound of a Burundian funk band's electric guitar transforms into the trill of an Uzbek dutar, the sigh of an Azerbaijani zurna turns into the moan of an Armenian duduk, and the tinkling strings of a Paraguayan harp turn into the dreamy chords of a Madagascar valiha.

Uzbekistan-based DJ and boss of the experimental TOPOT label Eugenie Galochkin presents rare vinyl rips from the Soviet Melodia label. Melodia has released music from all around the world: from obscure Baltic electronica and free jazz from Siberia; to synth-pop from Tajikistan and academic avant-garde from Ukraine. The series will explore how national and cultural characteristics are embedded in musical language.

Eyal Cohen is a multidisciplinary artist based in Jerusalem:

"Fuelled by a curiosity to explore the interplay between our world and the sounds it generates, I've crafted sonic 'etudes' that blend various artistic practices, incorporating edited field recordings, samples, and curated YouTube videos. The final segment of the chapter, spanning the last four minutes, features a musical contribution from Shaul Dahan's album."

In the late nineteenth century two facts conspired to change the face of music: the collapse of common practice tonality (which overturned the certainties underpinning the world of Art music), and the invention of a revolutionary new form of memory, sound recording (which redefined and greatly empowered the world of popular music). A tidal wave of probes and experiments into new musical resources and new organisational practices ploughed through both disciplines, bringing parts of each onto shared terrain before rolling on to underpin a new aesthetics able to follow sound and its manipulations beyond the narrow confines of ‘music’. Probes tries analytically to trace and explain these developments, and to show how, and why, both musical and post-musical genres take the forms they do.

PROBES #4 concludes our excursion into portamenti, looking at its use in popular music, before moving on to wholly unpitched probes that begin to map the many aspects of differentiated noise.
