LISTENING MIX provides a musical preview for artists visiting the Walker. Combining their work with sounds from a variety of contextual sources, LISTENING MIX can be experienced before or after a performance.
Get acquainted with the pensive sounds of Grouper (Liz Harris) before she performs in the Walker galleries Thursday, May 9. Free and open to the public, these 30-minute performances begin at 6, 7, and 8 pm.
Grouper masterfully layers hypnotic vocal melodies, sorrowful shoe-gazed guitars, and analog drones into a deeply contemplative and expansive listening experience. Her dreamy sound worlds can slow your sense of time way down. This echo-chambered music is emotional and sincerely engaging. Paired with a few Grouper tracks, I filled in the music mix with an atmospheric anthem from Burial, bubbling vocal delays from High Places, and even some “witch house” distortions from SIΔMESE NOIR.

Before keyboardist and composer Craig Taborn performs at the Walker this Friday (April 26), get to know his complex and colorful music with this week’s Listening Mix.
Although much of his work has been created in collaboration with other players, I’ve decide to focus on his solo piano pieces. Somewhere between the jazz and classical worlds, Taborn’s piano works display rich harmonies, effective silences, and an acute attention to detail. Many of these ballads create expansive sonic space by use of quartal and tertiary intervals.
To further enrich this playlist, I’ve included piano polyrhythms from contemporary composer David Lang, a bittersweet interlude from Sylvain Chauveau, echoed repetitions from Panda Bear, and more.

To spark discussion, the Walker invites local artists and critics to write overnight reviews of our performances. The ongoing Re:View series shares a diverse array of independent voices and opinions (it doesn’t reflect the opinions of the Walker or its curators). Today, Sean Donovan shares his perspective on Thursday night’s second Sound Horizon performance from LA musician Julia Holter. Agree or disagree? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
Remember in the television show Twin Peaks when Julee Cruise sang that really sad song for Agent Cooper? In the scene, Cruise performs on the red-curtained stage, casting spell-binding sounds and and slowing time way down. Thursday night at the Walker (April 11), I felt a bit like Agent Cooper myself. LA musician Julia Holter drenched the museum walls with her dreamlike melodies and hypnotic storytelling.
Unassumingly shy to start, Holter gradually became more relaxed, and at one point mentioned to the audience how much she liked it there. Breaking the ice a few steps further, Holter sang an appropriate song for the moment, In the Same Room. As many us had braved the ridiculously snowy weather to get to the museum, it was comforting to hear lyrics like, “In this very room, we flew across the sea… I hope the ship will carry us there.” Housed in a wonderful setting (Bruce Nauman’s mulit-channel video installation), the dimly lit room offered a dynamic mood for Holter’s music. At the end of the song, I was left thinking, “Where will Julia carry us?”

Although Holter didn’t seem to physically engage on stage, her voice most certainly struck a chord, with both the room and the audience. When experiencing Holter’s music in person, it becomes very obvious how rewarding her voice sounds live; kind of a King’s College choir-boy meets Trish Keenan.
Grounding her melodies, synthesizer harmonies painted colorful backdrops and carried her songs in many wandering directions. In fact, most of her music included borrowed chords. Such exploratory harmonies captured my ears and my expectations. Although rhythmically simple, these supportive layers were extremely rich and emotional.
The five-song set covered a wide range of dynamics. At some points, we were all hushed to hear what she would do next. At others, she was launching echoed and passionate vocal ascensions and impassioned organ swells. Why Sad Song featured Wendy Carlos synth textures that builded and faded. Slowly looping layers into the mix, she then added a sensitive and humble vocal melody. This mantric repetition was touching and expansively cinematic.

To finish, she first thanked her extended family, who were sitting in the audience, for coming and then started into her last song. I couldn’t help connecting her mention of her family to this version of Don’t Make me Over (originally by Dionne Warwick). With lyrics like, “accept me for the things that I do, accept me for what I am,” it implicitly felt like a nod to her family. This final song was a triumphant ending to a somewhat reserved beginning. With neo-baroque harpsichords and Nico-like chants, she ended her set with a maturely optimistic mood.
As her music seemed to exist in such a whimsical world, I can image enjoying her show (even more) at a planetarium, laying down and looking up at the stars. I’d be really interested to see her later in her career when her stage presence is further developed. I wasn’t fully convinced with her engagement or her urgency.
Overall, I was impressed with her compositional creativity (both with her own work and her interpretations of other songs). Although at times, my spirit felt a bit unmoved, my ears and my imagination were profoundly mesmerized. She expressed intricate and immersive songs which were stylistically enchanting.
In the words of Twin Peaks creator David Lynch, “Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.” From what I could tell, I’d say Julia Holter is searching for the big fish.

LISTENING MIX provides a musical preview for artists visiting the Walker. Combining their work with sounds from a variety of contextual sources, LISTENING MIX can be experienced before or after a performance.
Get acquainted with the captivating sounds of Malian singer and musician Fatoumata Diawara before she performs with her band at the Cedar Cultural Center this Friday, April 12. Copresented by the Walker, the show begins at 8 pm.
Fatoumata Diawara has something to say. Or sing rather. Although I don’t speak her language (Wassoulou), I can’t help feeling that she has something important to express. Perhaps she is suggesting new ways of thinking and feeling about each other (and our world)? Maybe she sings about life in Mali? For me, I am simply drawn in by the music itself.
With effective simplicity, much of her work functions like a train running on its track. These songs groove at consistent tempos until arriving back to their introductory seed. When listening to this music, I am struck by its relatively neutral harmony, creating feelings which are neither obviously happy or sad. At the forefront, Diawara has an insistent and animated voice, occasionally sending out speedy rap-like melodies or pentatonic embellishments. Second to the voice, the guitars are catchy, and regularly display angular and intervallic motifs. For this LISTENING MIX, I’ve brought together the afro-disco chants of Dur-Dur Band, the intricate sound tapestries of Argentinian singer Juana Molina, the sunny pop-riffs from all-female Indonesian group Dara Puspita, and others.

LISTENING MIX provides a musical preview for artists visiting the Walker. Combining their work with sounds from a variety of contextual sources, LISTENING MIX can be experienced before or after a performance.
Bringing her ethereal vocal melodies, vintage electronic sounds, and imaginative soundscapes, Los Angeles musician Julia Holter performs at the Walker as a part of our in-gallery music series Sound Horizon, this Thursday, April 11. Free and open to the public, these 30-minute performances begin at 6, 7, and 8 pm.
Utilizing analog synthesizers, drum machines, keyboards, and vocal effects, Julia Holter creates a dreamlike sound universe uniquely her own. Coming from the LA cultures of CalArts, Dublab Radio, and Echo Park, Holter seamlessly unifies art song with pop song. Within her music, the vibe can transition from direct melodies into abstract sound collages. Much of her work emphasizes texture, harmony, and narrative structure. For this Listening Mix, I’ve chosen to integrate the whispered vocals of swedish group El Perro Del Mar, the playful vocal layering of Grimes, the echoed storytelling of John Maus, and the psychedelic lullabies of Broadcast.

LISTENING MIX provides a musical preview for artists visiting the Walker. Combining their work with sounds from a variety of contextual sources, LISTENING MIX can be experienced before or after a performance.
Get to know John Zorn, the quintessential musician of the New York avant-underground, before his colossal performance marathon at the Walker this Saturday, April 6. Joined by Zorn’s bands and other guest musicians, Zorn @ 60 celebrates the artist’s 60th birthday with three unique shows, a conversation led by senior curator Philip Bither, and a free organ concert at midnight.
Pulling inspiration as much from No Wave as from the classical giants John Cage and Stockhausen, Zorn’s work embodies various styles: atonal, jazz, punk, gamelan, cinema, and klezmer music. Although most are familiar with his notoriously boisterous saxophone solos, for this music mix, I’m interested in showcasing his softer and more melodious side. Paired with some of Zorn’s songs, I’ve included lachrymose pizzicatos of Erik Friedlander, driving bodily rhythms of Nicolas Jaar, lulling descants of Blade Runner’s Vangelis, mantric bell repetitions of Lucky Dragons, and more.

To spark discussion, the Walker invites local artists and critics to write overnight reviews of our performances. The ongoing Re:View series shares a diverse array of independent voices and opinions (it doesn’t reflect the views or opinions of the Walker or its curators). Today, Sean Donovan shares his perspective on Thursday night’s first Sound Horizon performance from trumpeter Nate Wooley. Agree or disagree? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
To launch this year’s Sound Horizon series of live music performed in the Walker galleries, vanguard trumpeter Nate Wooley gave three 20-minute performances the evening of March 21 within Bruce Nauman‘s seven-channel video projection installation MAPPING THE STUDIO II with color shift, flip, flop, & flip/flop (Fat Chance John Cage). My recollections of the experience:
It’s a few minutes before Wooley’s performance. As I enter the room, I choose to sit in a small folding chair (instead of the pillow discs on the floor). Eyes closed, Wooley is sitting hunched inward with his trumpet, perhaps meditating/centering before he begins. My senses start to adjust to the dim light, the echoes of audience whispers, the slight breeze circulating the cave-like space. While multicolored projections show us night-time footage of Nauman’s studio, the large white-walled Walker room houses a simultaneous vibe of anxious surveillance and calming spaciousness. Unlit, Wooley is in a chair on top of a small boxed platform in the center of the room surrounded by 20-30 audience members. In addition to his trumpet, he sits next to his amplifier, a few microphones, a rubber mute, and a digital sound-effecting foot pedal.
After a brief introduction from Walker curator Doug Benidt, applause, and an anticipatory silence from the audience, Wooley slowly breaths into a sustained and steady pitch. This single note lays down a “home-base” for this exploratory sonic journey. What started as a soft and simple unwavering tone begins to crescendo into a fully enveloping chorus of timbred variations. The multiplications of all of these wave-shapes build up a dense sonic mass of overtones. I look around the room and notice many people beginning to close their eyes with the musician.

While continuing a circular breath, Wooley gradually adds a mute to the equation. He begins to bend the pitch and articulate falling phrases. From this moment forward, my mind goes into a synesthetic mode of imagery and stories. I start to hear mournful elephants and lumber being cut. Next, he transitions into rapid and repetitive trill patterns (see Rachmaninov’s Flight of the Bumblebee). These anxious calls steer the performance into a more dissonant place.
After this energetic build, Wooley suddenly removes his mouthpiece with one swift movement (and puts a contact microphone in the bell of his trumpet) and the energy collapses. Still maintaining his breath, he begins to build a new theme. This time, relaxing and percussive sounds of “wooooosh” followed by “thuddd.” I am now envisioning water drops after a storm, parking garage squeaks, the sounds of one’s brain within their skull. Now I’m thinking, “Can a trumpet really do this?” Combining blowing, valve pressing, sucking, with other abstract noises I start to hear something between the IDM beats of Aphex Twin and mouth sounds of Bobby McFerrin. This percussive section builds and Wooley starts to add subtle and distorted falsetto singing into his trumpet. Now, I’m hearing semi-trucks pass and someone singing in the shower.
For the final section of his performance, Wooley slowly arches his arms and trumpet to point up toward the ceiling. This ending crescendo mimics frenzied rhinoceri, racing motorcycle gangs, colliding glaciers, and speeding airplanes. I (and I imagine the whole audience as well) am in awe at his endurance and passion. After minutes of commanding breath and exhausting a whirlwind of sounds into the sky, it was suddenly over. Wooley snapped out of character, smiled to the audience, and we clapped in appreciation, yet I was preoccupied with trying to digest what I had just been hit with. Although very mesmerized by the skills and techniques used for such a marathon of a performance, I was even more captivated by the variety of dynamics, stories, and emotions. All in all, a great start to this season’s Sound Horizon!

In anticipation to this season’s first Sound Horizon performance by contemporary trumpeter pioneer Nate Wooley, familiarize yourself with his creative approach to his instrument and his music with this week’s LISTENING MIX. Wooley’s in-gallery sound explorations take place this Thursday (March 21) in 30-minute performances beginning at 6, 7, and 8 pm.
Wooley seeks to push his instrument and its historical forms to their limits. With full-bodied enunciations and a wide array of experimental intonations (hissing, buzzing, humming, and growling), Wooley communicates wandering, playful, and fearless melodies. Merging multiphonic vocalizations, virtuosic glissandos, and musical breathing, he simultaneously inhabits the worlds of jazz, new-music, and noise. For this music mix, I chose to feature songs from a few experimental American composers (Cage, Brown, Erb) who share Wooley’s interest in extended techniques. Although far away from jazz, I’ve also included musicians such as Björk and Bell Orchestre for their commitment to exploratory tones and timbres.

Before Cynthia Hopkins brings This Clement World to the Walker this weekend (March 7-9), get to know her musical side with this week’s LISTENING MIX.
Remaining traditional with instruments and song forms from folk and country, Cynthia Hopkins makes a unique statement with her soulful yet vulnerably honest storytelling. Her courageous voice drives emotional melodies to create a deeply American sound. Down to earth and amazingly original, Hopkins sings of addiction, aliens, climate change, and more. Within this music mix, I’ve included sounds which are more classic and others which are more experimental. For example, there are some oldies such as Woody Guthrie and Jean Ritchie and freak-folk newbies such as Larkin Grimm and Joanna Newsom.
