How To Tell A Sound #7: Annie Garlid (UCC Harlo) & Eve Essex

New York-based composer, performer and musicologist Annie Garlid sits down with host Eve Essex to discuss her solo project UCC Harlo, as well as her research projects tracing relationships between ASMR, field recordings, technology and ecology. The conversation explores her transition from a classical violist to electronic producer, including the genesis of her recent debut release as UCC Harlo, United (Subtext, 2019), where Garlid merges a range of genres, including experimental, club and early music. In the second half of the show Garlid plays tracks she has been working through in her musicological studies, examining instances of tactile sound in contemporary electronic and experimental music, the construction of physical spaces in sound, and the cross-sections of these elements with digital culture. Tracklist includes UCC Harlo as well as music by Felicia Atkinson, Yves Tumor, Jana Winderen, Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement and more.
