The air crackles again and the two voices of Noise in the Ether emerge again, perhaps faltering, perhaps awkward, but always honest and always excited. The tragic death of Trish Keenan gave us cause to launch on a storm of brittle electronics and her elegiac, ghostly voice. From there the soundwaves dance across jazz, fusion, drone, rock and… the ancient rumblings of music perhaps once thought lost. From Switzerland to New Zealand, Manchester to Tokyo (via Korea!), Noise in the Ether stretches the airwaves once again, exploring, probing, considering and contemplating the vast tapestry of musical creation. We have lost one beautiful voice, but Noise in the Ether continues to strive to uncover more. Happy listening.
