Sounds Like
Local Seattle music! Sounds from the Northwest! Music from all over! Lo-fi. Raw. DIY. Clap your hands, stomp your feet music. looping sounds. toys. Music from inside the hollow earth. needle touching a record. Psychadelic. any type of music with "core" added to the end. low gutteral drones. high-pitched busy chirps. mellow moments. voices singing all together and possibly some out of tune. accordion & trumpet duets. sweet and gentle. music that requires earplugs at live shows--but the kind of music that you have to take out the plugs for certain quiet parts. something that makes us move. ANything GOes!!
Some of our weekly specialty shows will be: House Show Recordings, Mix Tape Extravaganza, In-Home Peformances, From the Basement of Bop Street Records (inside our Hollow Earth), Interviews around Town, The Flick Skinny Movie Review, Possible Paranormal Call-In Show, Dream Analysis, Found Sound, Astrology Updates and much more.
We are a diy online radio station called “Hollow Earth Radio” where we feature local conversations and music of Seattle and the Northwest. We also actively seek contributors and music from all over the country.Besides found sound, dreams snippets, and awesome music, we feature specialty shows every week and have over 20 live DJs. We broadcast EVERYDAY from 24 HOURS A DAY. Please go to our website and regularly updated blog at: www.hollowearthradio.com to learn more.
AND hey! Are you taking pictures at this year's Magma Festival? Or other festivities Hollow Earth has been present at?? We made a flickr group.. feel free to join and share your photos!!
We have two main goals. Our first emphasis is on exposing works that have yet to be unearthed or have long been dormant. We seek out content that is raw and undiscovered such as found sound from answering machine tapes scavenged from yard sales or bedroom recordings that have never seen the light of day or old gospel records found at thrift stores or stories from everyday life from people in our neighborhood, or music from bands that mostly play house shows.
The second part of our vision is to support programs that highlight human experience. We feel that the way we consume music is becoming more and more abstract, where, for instance, it is common to buy a 99 cent song from an online music store that distances us from really becoming connected to the actual people who create the songs. We want to talk to the musicians, reveal the stories behind the artists, and learn about the actual people involved.
John Cassavetes, the first independent film director in America, once said that he was tired of trick lighting and explosions in movies. He wanted to know when people would begin making films about "who we are". Our focus with Hollow Earth Radio is to begin making that connection between who we are and what we create.
Here's a great video caught by Phil Mitchell. I wasn't aware that he was in the audience capturing this with his camera.
In the beginning of this video, I'm introducing my homemade Nobro resophonic guitar that I built from recycled garage sale junk and explaining some of the items that I used in its construction. Then, I offer my bottleneck slide interpretation of an old blues song, "Brownsville Blues" or "Goin' T' Brownsville" to listeners attending open mic night at Old Strokers Cafe in beautiful downtown Everett, WA.
