Orphic Tracks
07.01.18

It is the dawn of a new day on the cusp of a new month. In this twilight, we consider what it is to be between places, between realities, even between human and non-human. Music is made by everything, and in the old myths it was the music-makers that could most easily travel between worlds, even beyond the bounds of death. In this twilight, we remember those myths and enter into musical reverie that transport us out of time and place.
Each month, LA-based label Origin People invites guest producers to help program 2 hours of ambient, downtempo, fourth-world melodies, jazz, psych, and folk from beyond the horizon and spanning generations. Selected with the myth of Orpheus in mind, these are sounds made to charm the wild and move even stone to dance. This month’s broadcast brings in guest Hotthobo, the mastermind behind much of LA’s modern boogie and funk scene and the owner of Hobocamp and Voltaire Records.
