Wobbly (dj set) Pastoral and Sky Plus Pastoral Sky Plus For this DJ mix, I collected every piece I could find from my collection of Electronic & Concréte music that modelled or sampled birdsong or insect calls, from the 50's to present day. While the Barron's electronic score for the science fiction film 'Forbidden Planet' set the otherworldly context that many of the new sounds would be heard within for the majority of listeners, in hindsight there were just as many composers taking an interest in the medium's newfound ability to more closely mimic and expand upon the varied sounds of animal communication found in terrestrial nature. By listening to all these pieces in a row, one can hear other potential voices equally inherent in the medium. The mix was performed live with a dual CDJ and one mixer at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on May 25th, from 7 to 8pm, at concert volume levels as handfuls of people began to arrive for the concert. Cluster would have been included in the mix if they hadn't been performing later that evening, being one of the pioneers of evoking pastoral settings with pure electronics. The second set 'Sky Plus' was assembled from the music of their contemporaries and mixed right before Cluster's performance. link to playlist
