This weeks show Sound Canvas has been prepared by Yun Mei. This collection of music is the sound track to my minds movie. The music conjures up whole scenes in my mind painting a crazy sound canvas. Favorites include a number of releases from John Zorn’s record label Tzadik such as Before The Law by Badawi; Hex Kitchen by Ikue Mori; Death Ambient by Death Ambient (Kato Hideki / Ikue Mori / Fred Frith); and in particular Nani Nani by Zorn & Yamataka Eye. Contained in the mix are three new releases. Millionnaire, a fun minimal techno track by Belgian producer Ember from his Minimalicious EP. All tracks on this release are licensed under Creative Commons and are available for download from netlabel Italo Business. Improvisacao 95 by Menagerie is a track from their self-titled album. The whole album is available for download from the Al Reves site. Al Reves is a musical project for independent artists, creating new perceptions on what is understood as music. All releases on this site are licensed under Creative Commons. Also, a spooky hip hop track, Land Of The Dead by DJ Wally, from his latest release Mrs Millers House out now on theAgriculture. TheAgriculture also have a special Halloween treat, Mrs Millers Mix by DJ Wally & DJ Willie Ross, available for download. This weeks show is dedicated to the memory of Ama Teo…xxx

Sydney-based artist and sound explorer Sofie Loizou has prepared this weeks show, beautifully named Plant Systematics. The theme Sofie has chosen for the show is ‘Floral Formulas’. “It is pretty amazing to think that the beauty of a flower can be summed up by a mathematical formula”, Sofie comments on her website, “The music that follows is inspired by that formula.” This show is one of a series of podcasts that Sofie has compiled, as part of her experimentation with plant life and the influence music has on their growth and development. Her weekly podcast show is called “Premonitions by Plants” and is a blend of electrical pulses that her plants have been listening to over a given week. The Premonitions by Plants Podcast show is also part of a research project into the invisible connections between plants, music and humans, called “The Soul of Plants.” To read more about this project and other projects by Sofie Loizou visit and subscribe to www.sofieloizou.com
