Sounds Central

From the Futurists to Hyperdub, musical ideas have constantly evolved. Sounds Central explores this vast area of experiments with audio essays, series, and thematic mixes.

The selection doesn’t strive to be canonical, it rather comes from being a DJ who dislikes clichés and genres, but is fond of moving on the time line.

Misophonia and Me

Early in 2021, I learned that I’m suffering from misophonia, a disorder that typically begins in childhood and that’s characterized by extremely painful reactions towards certain sounds. Obviously, persons concerned aim at avoiding trigger sounds. 

On the other end of the scale, there are many sounds that keep my ears entertained, e.g. when in natural environments. Some music and sound art falls into this category as well. Out of this pool, I develop Sounds Central’s thematic mixes.

A more detailed text about the implications of misophonia for my curatorial approach towards music over the past 35 years is in the making.

Pay Paul

Coming up with Sounds Central’s thematic mixes takes a lot of effort – and a bit of cash. If you enjoy them, please consider a monthly subscription of 2.99€ (or more) via Mixcloud.

Mixcloud is the first hosting provider to have come up with an infrastructure that allows DJs to legally present music online.

  • 65% of your subscription fee go to artists featured on Sounds Central
  • 18% are for music presenters like myself
  • 12% stay with Mixcloud
  • 5% are for fees

 

You may, however, support Sounds Central as well with a donation via Paypal. Any amount is welcome and much appreciated!
