<![CDATA[Spellbound]]> Spellbound explores the theme of being spellbound (by anything), but in particular, by virtue of poetry, lyricism, and their often inextricable connection to sound. A broad musical focus featuring folk, funk, psych, jazz, instrumental, electronic, soundtracks, world music, and beyond (think interplanetary at times.) Stuff that is mellow, mesmeric, relaxedly uplifting, or spellbinding. *'Ethereal' is the most overused word for good reason.* 

Throughout the course of this program I'll chat to musicians, poets, and people generally attuned to the unique physiological connection between words ~ feelings ~ sounds ~ sensations. 

Spellbound is an interactive program that encourages you, whoever you are, to write/record/express sensations, sounds, and stanzas, and submit them for pleasure. It is also a safe and inclusive space, open to all. Email me! kloephelan@gmail.com

    ]]>     Sun, 22 Oct 2023 19:00:00 +1000 http://4zzz.org.au/program/spellbound/2023-10-22 18:00:00/     https://undead.4zzz.fm/zed-digital/ZD-2023-10-15-18-00.mp3 <![CDATA[15th of October]]> The Ecology of Sound
    South London artist Laura Misch dropped her new album 'Sample the Sky' on Friday! Sample the Sky is her third major production and is a considered, whimsical, multidisciplinary creative collaboration that illuminates a craving for the natural world post-pandemic, from a heart beating in the midddle of a buzzing city. The LP beautifully blends the sonic wonders of industrialisation with the soothing, breathing, heaving influence of the forests near Laura's home.

    Laura (sister of Tom Misch) gently intertwines jazzy sax with playful harp, experimental electronica, subdued field samples of ecological interactions (with a bespoke pedal belt designed for roaming through the South London Edgleands), rhythms that nod to 90s hip-hop and RnB, tied up with sweet and hopeful vocal narratives. 

    If you'd like to know more about Laura's new LP, the fascinating process behind it, and the upcoming tour, tune in tonight from 6:00PM or dial in via playback whenever you like. 

    Sample the Sky is out now via One Little Independent Records.

A couple of weeks out from the release of their second single, I was lucky enough to have a wholesome chat with lead singer and bass player Georgia - nerdy giggles included. We cover all things poetry and lyricism, the classically trained flute to (pink) bass transition, the slope from musical theatre and T-Swift to metal and prog, and sensory set dreams! 

    Take a listen to Georgia's Spin featuring just a lick of the tracks that inspire Prince Peace's sound and Georgia's lyric writing process. Some cheeky Sylvia Plath mentions in there, too. 

    Stream Prince Peace's 'Sweet Little Head' now, and 'Mine Again' from 26 May!

    PS. Check out Georgia's fibre arts Insta dordy.studio for a magical peak of insanely wonderful textile goodness.

The ethereal melancholic tales from Nordic folk group Kalandra. The impressionistic dreamstate soundwaves of Missouri biologist Joe Zempel. The jazz-informed, experimental yet tender curiosities of Naarm’s Danika. A crystal cave of kaleidoscopic trance with Montreal’s Priori, and playfully observational throes from Makaurau band Tiny Ruins.
