The Seltzer Salon #11: Christopher Willes
On this episode of The Seltzer Salon I'm joined by Canadian composer, musician, and dramaturge, Christopher Willes. He recently spearheaded the Resonance Gathering project which has evolved over its lifespan, but began as a large-scale ensemble performance of Pauline Oliveros's To Valerie Solanas and Marilyn Monroe in Recognition of Their Desperation (1970). It grew to become more than that, culminating in a double LP and book release that includes the performance (which happened in the Council Chambers at Toronto City Hall), a sound poetry piece from Oliveros's partner, IONE, and a book documenting the work. It's a stunning document of an incredible piece of work. Willes goes into detail about the origins of the idea, how it came to be, and all the various setbacks they had to overcome to make it a reality. A fascinating conversation about one of 2023's most memorable releases. Resonance Gathering https://christopherwilles.bandcamp.com/album/resonance-gathering The Seltzer Salon is a concise, conversational podcast hosted by Brad Rose and produced by Foxy Digitalis. Each episode features a musician, artist, writer, or anyone, really, focusing on a single project or idea. I know we all have limited time each day, so I wanted to do something a little smaller scale with just as much impact, so episodes will be 25-45 minutes in length.

The Seltzer Salon #10: Fadi Tabbal
I've been pretty floored by a lot of the music coming out of Beirut over the last few years - and I realize I'm a bit late to the party here - but the city's scene has produced a handful of my absolute favorite albums in recent memory. One thing many of those records have in common is Fadi Tabbal and Tunefork Studios. I've been in touch with Tabbal for the last few years, and have written about a fair bit of work he's involved in, but it felt long overdue to have a conversation about his work and all that's happening around him. His recent album with Charbel Haber, Enfin La Nuit, was a perfect opportunity.

We’re still melting out here, how about you? Well hey, got some cool music from cool people to get us through… or at least distract us. Today’s pick is a great collaboration between IKSRE & anthéne.

Next up in The Seltzer Salon is the wonderful Eve Maret. Her new album, New Noise, is such a fantastic surprise (wrote a little more about it in last week's Capsule Garden). I love when an artist goes into a new(ish) direction, especially when they take elements of their work and reconfigure them into something different. This album definitely feels like she's taking a risk in doing something outside her comfort zone and the results are great. It was wonderful to talk to her all about it. Hope you'll check out the record!Foxy Digitalis Daily - Aug. 22, 2023: Lord Spikeheart & Elvin Brandhi
I am totally obsessed with today’s pick from Lord Spikeheart & Elvin Brandhi. “Drunk In Love” is straight from the future. All-time stuff. Plus a couple new gems from Aki Onda and Cuerpo Docente.
