Favoriting Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from January 25, 2022 Favoriting

austinrich's avatar View austinrich's profile Favoriting

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

I find there is a dynamic range to the BoC skronk that is almost meditative. It might sound confrontational on a huge sound system, but on a home stereo there are some really cool dynamics that sound great!
Avatar 9:29pm
Mr Fab:

Ah, I see. Originally, I thought it was a Grim Reaper/"Scream" kinda mask. Y'know what - he should do a cover of "I'll Be Your Mirror."

In his own unique way, of course.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:29pm
drowsy:

I get the meditative thing. Like sometimes between shortwave stations you just roll with it.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 9:29pm
Austin Rich:

One of the things that I feel going to experimental shows now is a kind of camaraderie that I felt when I would go to punk shows as a kid. I think punk can still be like that, but I find the kinds of kids and weirdos at experimental shows are all record collectors, nerds, and weirdos looking for a community.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:30pm

But I'm sure there's a practice here, like the longest drum freakout that ends up creating its own surface.

Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 9:31pm

I meet as many old punks turned experimentors at shows like this as I do kids trying their own thing. And these shows are more diverse than a lot of punk shows I used to go to.

That is awesome.

I'm not the first to say it, but I think Experimental is the new Punk Rock.

The thing that's missing from this presentation is the pushing their table around, almost knocking it over, and the audience swarming their table, in a wonderful chaos that is very cathartic.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 9:35pm

There's a guy not too far from the Mid-Valley, in Corvallis, who used to open for Suicide back in the day. He now runs sound for local experimental shows, and has an act called "Luthor Maggot."

I'm still working out the techincal aspects of The Lava Lamp Lounge, and how to monitor signals / relay them in real time / not have to use six mixers to do so. So the home-made delay loop is just part of the fun, i guess?

Hi, Austin. Sorry I missed the first hour, I was on a virtual tour of Jewish Spain with my parents. For some reason, I can't hear the livestream at all. No sound at all. I'm not sure what I'm not doing

For those who are from the Mid-Valley: In Eugene, there's a gaming store that would have monthly experimental shows, called Funagain Gaimes. During the day, they would be playing Warhammer. They they would clear out, and us weirdos would put on a noise show in the back. (And catch up on the most recently modules for Cyberpunk 2020.)

Whoops! That should read, "Who aren't from the Mid-Valley..."
  10:41pm
Ellen:

I miss Funagain shows, as well. I met so many talented people through them, including JUICE MACHINE. The show where you (Austin) and I and JUICE MACHINE and Curtis all played for my birthday and Autumn Equinox at David's was a watershed event in my life. First cassette release, Bast Awakening and DEATH MUTATIONS. Thank you so much for that
