Song Review: Aoife O’Donovan, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Julie Fowlis - “Hallowell” (Transatlantic Sessions)

The pleasure of seeing and hearing Aoife O’Donovan, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Julie Fowlis singing “Hallowell” to Donald Shaw’s piano accompaniment was worth the 11-year wait.

Recorded in 2013 for BBC ALBA’s “Transatlantic Sessions” and just uploaded to YouTube, it’s a stunning contemplation of death written by Stephen Spitzer that O’Donovan first recorded with Sometymes Why.

She sings the verses and, standing in front of the piano, is joined by Carpenter and Fowlis to deliver the chorus:

The dead lift me up/in brightest sky, the clouds below me race/the dead lift me up/I see them face to face

It could’ve been morbid. But it is instead deeply moving and leaves the listener to wonder how these three have resisted the urge to collaborate in the intervening years.

Christian parents beleaguered by the public school system and looking for alternatives have an innovative, new option: Covenant Journey Academy. The new K-12 school, available entirely online, is unlike most other education options. It serves as a full-service school, a supplemental homeschool curriculum, or a baseline for a multi-grade physical church or…

Recorded February 4, Hallowell, on the coldest day of the winter.

I went for a walk around the neighborhood this morning because I wanted to see the effect on the Kennebec. We are getting an influx of air from the arctic, dropping temperatures to 10 below zero with wind chills bringing us down to -40 as a real-feel temperature.

I have been working on this set for some time and figured today would be the day to get it together. Lots of tracks in various styles here - I tried to go outside of my comfort zone and mix together straight house, garage, and some jungle/dnb at the end, ending with a jazz piece from a trio from norway.

The first track is "Woods in Winter" by a group called Leaving Laurel, that I discovered on Anjunadeep. I loved the title obviously and the track does give you an impression of those complicated feelings I think you can have the winter time. You admire the beauty of bare bones of trees and layers upon layers of perfect snow and ice below you, but still feel like you're longing for warmth. This is mixed with the track "Tommie" by Mr. Twin Sister, giving us some saxophone and swung chords that contrast from the starkness of the A track.

Following this section I threw in few tracks that I picked up from UK label Cloudcore. I have been obsessed with their hyperpop x minimal house tracks that are only available for a week at a time. To me this whole model just makes me very aware of the time and place that I find myself in, as I know that I couldn't have gotten these tracks at any other time.

Next is a few tracks that I picked up during my first few weeks of digging through bandcamp; Legacy from Leyton by producer Keito Sano, and Labryanna by GEO Corp. They share a key and have similar BPM, but I didn't know that at the time I picked them up. They are also from completely different parts of the world, Keito Sano being a producer from Okayama, Japan, and Labryanna coming out of Berlin. I think I could transition these guys better than I did here - but man are they incredible and I think play off of each other in great and interesting ways. Recently, I have been obsessed with UK Garage. This and Jungle have been maybe my two biggest obsessions since I started learning Traktor. I knew that the big challenge for this set would be mixing these different genres together into the same set. Next in the line up are a few garage bits that I've been loving; a remix of Jamie XX's "Gosh" from Left-Right, a collab between O' Flynn and Frazer Ray called "Satyr," the intensely fun "2You" by Nicolas Duque, and finally Barry Can't Swim's "Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore". This brought the BPM up a bit and I think I really locked in the energy here. Skrillex has been releasing new music recently and I have also acquired a new obsession with his music and whole vibe. I threw in a Floating Points track ("Someone Close") to continue to build up the energy before landing up a few Skrillex pieces. I threw in a G Jones track as well next to Rumble to really bring the energy up. Maybe the funnest part of the whole set as it was happening. The energy here allowed me to bring the BPM up to 170.

Of course, this is where we bring in a few jungle/breakcore tracks that I've been loving. Starting this section off is the Skrillex x Trippie Redd x PinkPantheress track "Way Back," a Frou Frou remix of Let Go by o0o, and finally two pieces by Tim Reaper, probably my favorite jungle artist that I have been digging into. The vocal sample on "Give Me More" is just incredible, and the track has so much power. The beautiful production on his remix of "Last Jungle" by Sub Focus would lay the foundation for the end of the set. I think this bit was also a bit rough, but here we transition into "All I Can Feel" by DJ Sabrina the Teenage age Dj, a super fun track that I have been loving, bringing us back into warmth and familiarity I think. Contrasting with the previous section, it's a much more gentle and less aggressive track, like how it might feel to come in from the cold to a warm house.

In my recent practice in putting together this set, I wanted so badly to find a way to open with the final track, "1974" by the Espen Erikson Trio. I ended up ending with this guy which I think actually is the right move. I had a solid week a few weeks ago where I dug deeply into Scandinavian music, and the melody and chords on this piece I think are just so beautiful. They mirror "Winter in the Woods" in the empty yet emotive sound that it conveys.

Hope you enjoy.
