Because of this, we thought it might be a nice idea to gather up all of the artists we feature in a month into a handy little mixtape for your listening pleasure.

]]> Lately we’ve been trying to do roughly a post a day here at Wake the Deaf, which is a huge increase in output compared to our usual lazy standards. Because of this, we thought it might be a nice idea to gather up all of the artists we feature in a month into a handy little mixtape for your listening pleasure. Perfect if you haven’t managed to keep up on what we’ve been writing day-to-day.

Our January 2014 mix is a little light on numbers as during the first fortnight or so we were busy with our year-end lists and whatnot. But there are still thirteen great tracks for you to check out. As always, there’s a variety of genres so you should find something you like.

January Mix from Wake The Deaf on 8tracks Radio.

]]> Piotr-Heslin is a collaborative effort from Australian composer and producer Paul Heslin and Polish-born New Englander Derek Piotr made possible through the wonder that is the internet (the two have never met in person), Piotr-Heslin is a minimalist exploration of the sonic possibilities of the human voice. The combination of meticulous (but sparse) beat architecures and eviscerated vocal snippets makes for a somewhat haunting experience, and with a number of tracks constructed purely from manipulated vocals, with others featuring the sounds of freshly fallen snow and playgrounds, this is not music for the sonically timid.

Piotr-Heslin is experimentalism at its very best, not just a bit left field, but a genuine collection of aural experiments, each exploring a different phonic language and syntax.

Released on Australian label Wood and Wire, the album is available for absolutely nothing here.
