SOUNDWAVE : 142 : JOSHUA BRUNER

Today’s guest deejay is Joshua Bruner.

I had the good fortune of meeting Joshua through Nick Turner, AKA Tyresta, when I asked him who he thought would share a mix on Soundwave. Nick’s music and his mix for Soundwave are lovely. When Nick suggested Joshua, I was immediately on board.

I ask every guest deejay on Soundwave who would share a mix on the show. It’s a simple thing, but over the last few years, it has led to meeting some extremely talented people and turned me on to fantastic music that I am confident I would’ve never discovered on my own, let alone singular mixes curated by each guest deejay.

Joshua’s mix is yet another example. I don’t know any of the musicians he included in his playlist. That’s no slight to them. They’re all fantastic. There’s just too much music to listen to. Joshua has selected breathtaking tracks for his mix. I’m listening to it as I write this. His mix seamlessly blends with my night of rain pattering on my roof and the whoosh of jets flying to a nearby airport. It’s quite the experience, which is why I’m always asking who should guest deejay on Soundwave.

Joshua has some words about his mix below.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Enrico Coniglio.

See you then.

This episode will be released just a few days before my 43rd birthday! Sometime in January or February, I expect to release an album on vinyl in collaboration with Alyssa Miserendino, someone I would highly recommend for a future mix. I’m excited about this record because it includes field recordings she captured in South America with Gordon Hempton, aka The Sound Tracker. I used a brainwave sonification technique using an EEG to trigger selected samples from their recordings of a unique bird called the Oropendola.

  1. David Behrman “Music with Melody-Driven Electronics”

  3. Klaus Wiese “Mystic Landscapes II”
