Naked Gums w Vanja Rakic (#7) - "Worship the Glitch"

Appropriating the title from the homonymous album made by Coil and an unknown entity (ELpH), for the 7th edition of Naked Gums, Vanja revisits the past, delving into the world of glitch, presenting music by Alder and Elius, Autechre, Beaumont Hannant, Boards of Canada, Germ, Imminent, Mick Harris, Mira Calix, Plaid, Polygon Window (aka Aphex Twin), Professor Broxburn, and Quinoline Yellow. Tackling a collection of over 1500 tracks posed a formidable challenge – how to navigate this vast sonic tapestry, reducing it into 2 hours, while maintaining listenability? Given the programmed nature of some tracks, they may prove quite challenging, especially for first-time listeners. The objective was to craft a well-balanced soundscape, resonating with various atmospheres and emotional states – from the melancholy of lost love to the beauty of life, nostalgia, excitement, and the utter chaos. Play it loud.
