ehlers plays

Man, these wildly varying sample-based tracks are a journey through sonic possibilities. Bop out to the blues trance of Robert Johnson 2. Get lost in the nature of Hubert Fichte 1. Transcend to the strings of John Cassavetes 2. There is so much to talk about with this project. Ekkhard Ehlers revolutionized what it meant to sample someone in music. Try it out (ambient requires patience) but I promise you will hear something you have never heard before.

A mix of sounds

I’ve been maintaining a looong playlist spanning jazz, folk, ambient, r&b/doo-wop, shoegaze, soundtrack scores and more, I’m sure. The main theme is imagining tracks that would sound good in an empty old dusty bar, or maybe walking along a foggy river bank on a still night. Sonically, I’m aiming for interesting textures, catchy melodies, or sparse production. Throw it on shuffle and see what catches yr ear. Sampler of artists: Mary Lattimore, Eno/Fripp, Cassandra Jenkins, Harry Nilsson, Beach House ✨

Nourished by time - Catching Chickens EP (2024)

Late to this but holy cow. I couldn’t be more enamoured with the tones and textures of this EP. Each track is a banger and inventive in its own way. Boldly charts a course for pop music. Highlights: “Hell of a Ride”, “Poison-Soaked”, “Had Ya Called”

horror movies

I’m still watching them even tho October is over wtf??? I just can’t get enough. Recent greats include: Noroi: The Curse (2005) - Found footage… the climax is so good. Great for fans of ghost/demon stuff. Pulse (2001) - One of my favourite horror movies ever. Worms its way into your being. Some truly terrifying, iconic scenes and imagery, not to mention quite prescient in its message re: online connectivity and society. Really can’t sing its praises enough! Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) - A classic!!! Still hits. Quintessential haunted house domestic strife ghost story. Toshio 😢🐈‍⬛ Audition (1999) - Probably my least favourite of this batch. Not for the squeamish. Still worth a watch if only for its feminist social commentary. GonJiam: Haunted Asylum (2018) - OK this one is admittedly kinda hokey but it’s based off a REAL location and the jump scares are amazing!! Some truly spine-tingling moments. Not recommended just before bed lol 😬 (Also found footage)
