SOUNDWAVE : 153 : SIMON GRAB

Today’s guest deejay is Simon Grab.

Simon is a Swiss musician, producer, and sound artist who has released several albums and EPs. His music is known for its experimental and ambient soundscapes. Simon combines field recordings and electronic sounds to create unique sonic environments.

I discovered Simon Grab through his album Anthropocene Panic, a sonic artwork exploring human activity’s environmental impact. It’s a sinister and muscular piece of music that vividly depicts what the Anthropocene era feels like.

Simon has some words about his mix below.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Jon Solo.

See you then.

“Gargle Ceremony” has been published in Mensa Sonora, a book with cooking recipes and sound. Your invited to gather with your friends to gargle with raw fruit or vegetable juice while listening to the track. Find the recipe here.

The rest of the mix are left over files from longer recording sessions I did a while ago. At that time I categorised them with colour titles, which was more of an attempt to get out of file management chaos than a synesthesia moment. Funny enough, as I got used to the naming, nowadays I actually find the colour titles fit quite well. Those are all unpublished tracks. I might release them one day, or just leave it here at Soundwave.
