3. SOCK FREE
By Izabel Caligiore
for Sock Free Hideaway
VERY HONOURED to share this with you. Izabel of Lullabies For Insomniacs fame has hosted some fine, fine mixes and works slavishly to share her love of ethereal and quite wonderful music and this mix is no exception as it's truly mesmerizing. Thank you. Upon first listen, doing the ironing, it didn't just blow my socks off but sent me hurling down a sand dune. However, after emptying sand from my socks and lying down for a second listen, I merely cascaded down, which is an altogether better experience. Take my advice, put one hour and fifteen minutes out of every day for a fortnight, and lie back listening to this and nothing will be the same again. The perfect prescription.
I recorded this mix on a cold winters night in Melbourne, I had just received some horrible news from a dear friend in London that saw my mood matching the weather, dark and sombre.
Alas I grabbed a stack of records and let the music transport me to a ‘sock free hideaway’.
The mix travels through many times and places starting with Pharaoh Saunders tribute to Coltrane and finishing with Peruvian soprano Yma Sumac.
I started Lullabies for Insomniacs | Mixcloud March this year, it is a fortnightly radio show broadcasted on PBS 106.7fm.
I came up with the name Lullabies for Insomniacs not only as it is an apt name for a graveyard shift (2am-6am) but also because it can be interpreted in different ways. The beauty about the guest mixes for each week is how each artist interprets the title.My last show is this week as I am moving overseas to study although will be launching a website shortly that will feature a fortnightly podcast as well as guest mixes.
Hope you enjoy.
