In recent years, Ned Milligan ‘s work has been grounded in recording and playing outdoors, trying to communicate the meaning of being in a particular location and finding meaning in interacting with whatever sounds or elements are equally present. On his latest Considerable, none of these pieces is strictly documentary or one-take in approach or composition, but Ned hopes that the combination of processed and “factual” sounds achieve integrity. This is a special mix of this fantastic release plus earlier works of Ned Milligan.

Danny Paul Grody is a self taught guitarist who creates hypnotic and gorgeous meditations. He returns with Arc of Day -his first ever with consistent accompaniment, with Guitars, percussion, bass, clarinet & pedal steel guitar in sublime interplay. The melodies at the core of Danny’s songwriting bring to mind his love of West African kora, Takoma style fingerpicking and all things minimal, repetitive & beguiling. Essential.

On this episode, we shine a light on some of the recent releases on Lawrence English’s excellent Room40 imprint. Room40, a beacon of sound…ringing out from the deepest south.
