AN INTRODUCTION TO INSTAGR/AM/BIENT

Photos shared with the popular software Instagram are usually square in format, not unlike the cover to a record album. The format leads inevitably to a question: if a given image were the cover to a record album, what would the album’s music sound like?

Instagr/am/bient is a response to that question. The project involves 25 musicians with ambient inclinations. Each of the musicians contributed an Instagram photo, and in turn each of the musicians recorded an original track in response to one of the photos contributed by another of the project’s participants. The tracks are sonic postcards. They are pieces of music whose relative brevity—all are between one and three minutes in length—is designed to correlate with the economical, ephemeral nature of an Instagram photo.

The result of the 25 musicians’ collective efforts is an investigation into the intersection of technology, aesthetics, and artistic process. What parallels exist, for example, between the visual filters that Instagram provides users to transform their photos and the sound-processing tools employed by electronic musicians?

In many cases here, the musicians employ sonic field recordings as source material for their music. In the case of both their photos and their compositions (photography in one case, phonography in the other), documents are altered to emphasize their atmospheric qualities: to eke a modest art out of the everyday.

If you have to watch one documentary this months it’s certainly this one.

“Bob Marley’s universal appeal, impact on music history and role as a social and political prophet is both unique and unparalleled. MARLEY is the definitive life story of the musician, revolutionary, and legend, from his early days to his rise to international superstardom. Made with the support of the Marley family, the film features rare footage, incredible performances and revelatory interviews with the people that knew him best.”

XXYYXX & Giraffe - Even Though

Chicago mixtape DJs Victoriouz and Twin have been joined by Power 92′s DJ Pharris and party host Moe Bey for a mixtape to celebrate the new Chicago scene. It isn’t a comprehensive mix, if such a thing is even possible—for example, west side rapper Bo Deal doesn’t make an appearance—but it is a focused and powerful introduction. The mix includes tracks, a bulk of them previously-unreleased, from King Louie, Chief Keef, LEP Bogus Boys, Chance the Rapper, Lil Reese, Lil Durk, Freddie Gibbs and many more.
