Roboticist Daniel H. Wilson on the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ #283. The DisinfoCast: Episode 33: Steve Volk, ‘Fringe-ology’ Come Join My Cult.. Reporting From Outside Party Lines. Media Roots Music – Atop Set #3 by Media Roots MEDIA ROOTS- In this week’s set I try to discredit the notion that electronic music is not organic or emotional. Most electronic music that has been integrated into contemporary music sounds robotic and lifeless. The tracks I chose for this week’s set feel organic, yet maintain the unique timbres and intonations of electronic music. This set is for people who may still think that only traditional instruments make the only acceptable sounding organic sounds available to us. I love electronic music, because of its infinite nature- with the right amount of imagination, an electronic song can be just as beautiful and engaging as any traditional instrumentation.

Media Roots Music- Atop Set #2 by Media Roots MEDIA ROOTS– With my second set for Media Roots Music, I continue to explore my different musical obsessions. At the beginning of the mix there is a sense of technology’s distance and coldness with the sounds. The end of the set ends with the more tangible essence of hands on instruments and voices bending the air. I feel there is a connection between both that can be felt from beginning to end. I hope you all enjoy it. All the featured music on the mix can be found through searching discogs.com or by emailing me: codymcphail@gmail.com.

Reporting From Outside Party Lines. Media Roots Music – Fluorescent Grey Mix #1 by Media Roots FG: If you are an avid listener of Media Roots Radio, you may have noticed our frequent use of obscure electronic music in our intros, and segweys. This mix is dedicated to the electronic music that influenced me as a child. I was born in 1981, so a lot of this is from before my time. However, echoes of these songs can be heard throughout 80s film and television. I was introduced to Joel Van Droogen Broeck’s ridiculously prescient song ‘Robot Tiger’ when I was halfway done making this mix by Reid Dunn AKA Wisp from Rephlex Records. I have to also personally confess that the main reason Dawn of the Dead is such a memorable movie for me is because of the film’s use of Goblin’s synth masterpiece ‘La Caccia’ in the film- not the political commentary or gore.

Fluorescent Grey Artist List: Reporting From Outside Party Lines. Media Roots Music – Atop Mix #6 by Media Roots MEDIA ROOTS– This set is a celebration of repetition. Every day we see the same objects and hear the same sounds. Deep down we know they are not truly the same, yet we hold onto the idea of repetition in our daily lives. Musical loops are perfect examples of this. No matter how many times you play a piece of music, sections of that piece – depending on the direction in which you hold your head or in which your ears face – will vary depending on how the sound is registered by your mind.

Each time a loop repeats, it is never heard the same way by yourself. This exercises the idea that everything is in constant flux. All the featured music on the mix can be found through searching discogs.com or by emailing me: codymcphail@gmail.com. Akkad the Orphic Priest aka ATOP Artist List:
