Icarus.fm #28 - An exclusive guest mix by Christine Ott
Tindersticks / Christine Ott - Percy's theme {City Slang, Lucky Dog / BFI} 0:00 > 1:46 *
The opening track of the original soundtrack we just released with Tindersticks, 'Minute Bodies' This is the main theme of the soundtrack, an Ondes Martenot solo.
I really like the loop of Martenot at the end, deeply mysterious...
RememberRemember - White Castle {Rock Action Records} 1:46 > 6:49
I wanted to open with a polyrythmic and instrumental for this one, next to Minute Bodies intro.
First thought about the 'Mind over mirrors' album, but finally found this RememberRemember track. Remember of some tour with Yann Tiersen, the opened for us, and played together for some.
Fink - Who says {Ninja tune} 6:49 > 11:45
Felt in love with the two last albums of Fink.
Robin Allender - The healing of a lunatic boy 11:45 > 14:30
I discovered Robin's work as we played together in Yann Tiersen band.
His solo work has amazing moments, i really love the 'Outer dark' one.
Terry Riley - Salome Dances For Peace ; The Ecstasy (by Kronos Quartet) 14:30 > 21:26
I love the way Joan Jeanrenaud plays cello ; in Kronos Quartet, for their solo works - 'Metamorphosis' ! - or for some other pieces... In the past podcast, i had put an amazing piece by Karen Tanaka, 'The song of songs', composed for cello and electronics, or for ondes Martenot and electronics.
Foudre! - Goliath {Gizeh} 21:26 > 27:56 *
An extract from the EARTH album, recorded live together with Foudre! at St Merri church in Paris.
Have a look on this amazing trailer made by As Human Patterns !
Radiohead - Daydreaming {XL recordings} 27:56 > 34:18
Daydreaming is really a masterpiece to me.
I like the way it begins in the mix next to Foudre!
Sleepytime gorilla museum - The 17-year cicada {Mimicry} 34:18 > 37:39
I was searching for a piece to breathe after Daydreaming.
As i gave such a 'polyrythmic' color to this mix, from RememberRemember to Radiohead, i thought this one. really weird but amazing here.
Christine Ott - Solitude Nomade (live / carte blanche) 37:39 > 48:34 *
An unreleased track, recorded live for a 'Carte blanche' in 2010. I really love the way Marc Sens is playing guitar on it. Hope to find the way to re-work with him the future, next to this or La fin du silence soundtrack we made together.
Fovea hex - Neither speak nor remain silent {Die Stadt / Janet records} 48:34 > 54:36
I was really surprised to discover the name of this EP collection by 'Fovea Hex' after the release of 'Only Silence Remains'. The third one - 'Allure' - is a masterpiece. The work on the textures is especially incredible.
Raphelson - Horns in my heart {Two Gentleman Records} 54:36 > 58:13 *
Tindersticks / Christine Ott - Brewster's magic (City Slang / BFI) 58:13 > 1:00:43 *
Another piece of the Tindersticks soundtrack. In fact this piece is based on a solo work i composed for my musical show "24 heures de la vie d'une femme". Stuart asked me to re-recorded it at rhodes organ and singing... I love this piece, originally called under the name 'Landscape'.
