Today\u2019s guest deejay is Robin Rimbaud<\/a>, AKA Scanner<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

I discovered Robin last century on a compilation album. At the time, Robin was snatching phone conversations from the ether and incorporating them into his music. It was at once intimate and troubling because the very act of listening to Robin\u2019s music made you complicit in his eavesdropping.<\/p>\n\n

Those tracks, however, are just one area he explores in his music. If you delved into his work, you\u2019d find that it is not incongruous to find him straddling minimalism, classical music, soundtracks and more. <\/p>\n\n

When I showcased<\/a> Robin\u2019s music and featured one of his performances<\/a> on solipsistic NATION<\/a> I was as giddy as a fanboy. I had been listening to his releases since the \u201890s, and I was thrilled to have him on my show. It was only natural that I invited him to be a guest deejay on SOUNDWAVE, and I\u2019m just excited about today\u2019s show as when he was my guest on solipsistic NATION many years ago.<\/p>\n\n

Robin has some words about his mix, which you can read below.<\/p>\n\n

In pandemic news, California, like the rest of the U.S., has stepped up vaccinations. I know people who have been highly diligent regarding COVID-19 safety protocol and were still waylaid by the virus. I\u2019m currently staying in Sacramento, and anecdotally, I can tell you that a lot<\/em> of people here have stopped giving a fuck. I don\u2019t want to catch the virus when we\u2019re this close to the finish line, so I hope to be vaccinated within the next week or two.<\/p>\n\n

Hopefully, this summer, I will be able to hug some of you who listen to SOUNDWAVE. Who knows, maybe I\u2019ll throw a SOUNDWAVE festival. Wouldn\u2019t that be a hoot?<\/p>\n\n

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Peter van Cooten<\/a>, host of Ambientblog.net<\/a> and DreamScenes<\/a> on Concertzender<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

See you then!<\/p>\n\n

I always find it challenging to know how to begin to choose music from literally hundreds of thousands of pieces of music that I own. Music lives with me from the moment I wake up early in the morning until I go to bed at night (at a very reasonable time). So, I thought it might be of interest to simply make a collage of a few of the many pieces of music that have accompanied me in the last seven days. These are playing as I work on emails, administration, accounts, and so on through my day. A brief picture of a moment in a day for my ears.<\/p>\n\n
