SOUNDWAVE : 108 : JACOB NEWMAN

Today’s guest deejay is Jacob Newman.

When I launched Soundwave, I had no plans beyond releasing a weekly show dedicated to ambient, classical, experimental, and instrumental music to help cope with the stress and isolation of the stay-at-home self-quarantine during the first few months of the pandemic. If I had a plan, it was that I would wrap up the show once COVID-19 was reasonably under control. Soundwave will have fulfilled its purpose.

Week after week, I’ve shared fantastic mixes from guest deejays who are musicians, deejays, label owners, writers, etc. Each show is different; each show is a gem. But the pandemic isn’t over, and Soundwave hasn’t ended.

One of the unexpected delights of Soundwave over the last two years is the network of people that emerged who have participated in the show. I ask each guest deejay on Soundwave whom they know who would want to share a mix on the show. Soundwave has been around long enough that asking for someone to guest deejay on the show will branch out to three other guests. How far will it go as the year goes by?

I met Jacob Newman when I asked Innesti who should guest deejay on Soundwave. They recommended Jacob. After listening to his music on Bandcamp, I wholeheartedly agreed and extended an invitation to Jacob.

The music you’ll hear in Jacob’s mix captures the spirit of his own music. If you enjoy Jacobs mix, then you’ll definitely want to listen to his latest album, Ephemeralis Algorithmica. As I’m writing this, I’m listening to Jacob’s new album and paused to look up and see palm trees swaying in the breeze against a clear blue sky. The sense of peace and happiness of that moment was magic.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Inner Islands.

See you then.
