Listen: Guest Mix by Simon Grab

Simon-Grab-Photo-by-Anne-Morgenstern-1-723x1024
The co-founder of ganzerplatz soundstudios has been an active musician and producer in a wide range of musical contexts. As a composer and sound artist he produces music & sound design for feature films, documentaries, theater and radio. In live performances and installations Simon Grab uses the venue as an acoustic playground.

Arriving all the way from Switzerland is this hot platter of musique concrete, soundtrack music, noise and ambience! The said platter is a creation of sound artist / producer Simon Grab who is a co-founder of Ganzerplatz label.

Much of the platter…err mix that Simon made for us centers around last year’s Posthuman Species LP (available via -ous label). Last year also saw the release of Diamonds, his collaboration with African rapper Yao Bobby.

This album is absolutely not for the faint-hearted but if feedback, noise and other forms of an infernal racket makes you comfortable i can promise you, it’s right up your alley. – Finn on Tomland on Posthuman Species via Bandcamp

Besides tracks from his latest album, Simon’s mix is heavy on music from composers (Zappa, Parmegiani, Ferrari) and his Swiss brethren (Rudolf Eber, G*Park, Dave Phillips). Tucked in between are some very familiar names from all over the musical spectrum (Sunn O))), Aphex Twin, Henry Mancini), so this one got a bit of everything for everybody. Dive in!
