Inside Voices (73'02") by Oliver Lieb may not induce strange dreams but it will provide a great soundtrack for them. More than mere pure sensory intake this work gets us to some mental places that we are normally cut off from. Appealing more to the sensual immediacy of the right brain than the analytical regions of the left Inside Voices is a realm of no language, no words, just the sounds of dark damp machines - scraping and droning out cool atmosphere over gradual grooves. What is it like? listening to Inside Voices? within our heads? With subdued minor key forms descending upon the listener like an alien force our minds drift back to the darkness at the beginning of time. Heated to an inexorable boil Lieb produces mystical beats - both insinuating and sinister. This activity is followed by the negative space of a shutdown zone where we float in post-overload coarsened serenity. This is an interesting voyage, slow and drawn out. Rhythms gather intensity through pacing, pulse management and the meticulous placement of accents. The tick, thump and throb of slow bass and drums create a subdued undulation while icy chords breathe subtly above. By its careful design this music organizes the brain in a way that ordinary chaotic experience cannot. As Lieb perfects a melancholic image of soulless modernity we cannot say that we do not recognize these feelings. Inside Voices somehow puts us in an imaginary space within the musician - which is utterly destabilizing.

Inside Voices by Oliver Lieb
WXPN/STAR'S END Fundraiser - 1 June 2014
|
| 
The first weekend in June it was fundraising time again at Public Radio Station WXPN. This Spring 2014 listeners were asked to please phone in and pledge their financial support to STAR'S END. Surely we all know why this is asked; Public Radio exists through the support of its listeners and periodic on-air fundraisers are the most sensible method for stations to meet their fiscal goals. On-air fundraisers are also a good opportunity for listeners to make themselves known to the programs they frequent.
Sincere Thanks to the 38 listeners who called in with $4404 in donations on the 06.01.14 broadcast of STAR'S END. You're the difference between having STAR'S END merely survive and making it thrive. Thank You! Special Thanks to phone room volunteers: Cindy Crowder, Walt Crowder, Joseph Martin, Chuck Nixon, Denise Palermo, Melissa Zonies and co-host Jeff Towne! -Chuck van Zyl/STAR'S END - 5 June 2014 |
