Soundbites: Traditions, Mashups and Marrow

Robert Resnik Here s a little media note for ya: Robert Resnik, longtime host of Vermont Public Radio s folk and traditional music show All the Traditions, is finally back at the mic after a nine-month absence. Resnik had been away from his post and quarantining hard due to some personal health factors that made him high risk for COVID-19. He recently scheduled his first round of vaccination and has returned to the radio booth. Resnik s first show of 2021 aired on Sunday. The episode is currently in the station s Replay Stream, which cycles through a number of current episodes of various programs, for a limited time.

Moira Smiley and VOCO, In Our Voices

(Self-released, CD, digital) It s said that a melody line is the horizon of a composition, as the notes are written left to right. Meanwhile, harmony, with its vertically oriented notes, is an ascending line. I ve always pictured this concept as a sort of reflected sunbeam, hitting a clear, pacific stretch of ocean and shooting back up into a blue sky. On her latest record, In Our Voices, Vermont-based musician Moira Smiley taps into the formidable beauty and power of harmony, collaborating with her ensemble of backing vocalists, VOCO, consisting of Karla Mundy, Dawn Pemberton, Jake Asaro and Gregory Fletcher. It s a record brimming with voices, often centered on rhythms performed on the human body. The combined effect of these body rhythms, harmonies and Smiley s soaring melodies creates a type of hyper-organic sound, a tone rooted in the noises of humanity: singing, breathing, stomping and clapping. There is nothing synthetic about this record.

Nate Gusakov, Many Mountains

I often fantasize about pulling a Men in Black mind-erase thing on myself, specifically targeting my preconceptions regarding music. Would I still enjoy 80s new wave if I had no memory of it accompanying my youth? What would I make of acid jazz with no context? Would I still run screaming from the room if you played Take It Easy by the Eagles without the decades of built-up antipathy toward that band? (Probably.) I think I d most enjoy the process with folk music. Not because I don t like folk music by and large, I do. But no other genre has so many preconceptions built up inside my head. When I hear the banjo kick in, my mind sees mountain roads, dilapidated shacks out in the woods, drinking moonshine by a fire, all that good stuff.
