Well, here we are kids, back with the podcast. I know I’ve kept you waiting, but I promise it was all worth it. For this 265th episode, I’m honoured to welcome back a dear friend, Peter van Cooten for his multi-layered textured voyage which has become an art form in itself. Not satisfied with simply arranging his favourites in a particular order, Peter tediously hand-coats the soundscapes which often run six levels deep (just look at the sequence screenshot). Here’s a taste of what’s to come if you’re brave enough to choose this adventure directly from Peter:
“A word of warning first. This is not an ambient mix intended to relax or create a calm atmosphere. Also, it is not a showcase with full album tracks. It is a ‘create-your-own-movie’ soundtrack with some rather intense climaxes. And 42 track fragments in less than one hour – almost none of those in full length: all tracks are cut-up, fragmented, edited, layered and re-assembled (but never altered sonically) – just like creating a collage from torn pictures. This also means that none of the parts represents the artists’ original intention (I hope they still can appreciate what I do here). For further exploration, the release details of the fragments are provided so you can check out the original full versions and support the artist wherever possible.”
The mix title, Radical Candor, comes from the (management) philosophy described by former Google and Apple executive Kim Scott. In short, it argues that feedback (on behaviour) is most effective if it is challenging but at the same time shows that you care.
“A musical collage is anything but a management philosophy of course. But still, I felt there was a resemblance: the mix is ‘caring’ at times but can also be quite ‘challenging’ to the listener. At least, that was my intention. Anyway, I also just liked the way the words sound: Radical Candor. So here it is.”
