New on sociotree is a must listen mix, ”Modern Voices”, by Pilar Rico which traces the recipes of sound collage from the beginning of the twentieth century to now.It is based on the project “Variations”, a radio project curated by the Jon Leidecker for his lecture at MACBA where he explored the history of collage and appropriation in music with examples from 20th Century. It is difficult to distinguish the real voice of this mix, as each sonic collage exceeds their boundaries by far in their references to western and world music, bending genres like a flexible wire to create new shapes and fresh ideas. This mix is a mix of a mix of a mix. Enjoy!
