Katharsis July 7 '08

Unfortunately something interrupted the recording after the first half hour...

All that was captured this week was Eric’s Trip (end of Aubrey’s Shindig leftover), Wooden Shijps, The Black Angels, Indian Jewellery, Deerhunter, Beach House, and Frightened Rabbit (chopped off). It's a shame too as the rest of the show featured Erik Enocksen, Holler Wild Rose, Slaraffenland, Swell, Damien Jurado, Seaworthy, Grizzly Bear (remixed by Efterklang), Colleen, Chieko Mori, Tara Jane O'Neil & Daniel Littleton, James Blackshaw, Adrian Klumpes, Voice of the Seven Woods, and Sam Phillips.

Hopefully next week's show will be available for download in its' entirety.

If the link expires just leave a comment and I'll re-upload.

Welcome! Start Here:

Katharsis is a bi-weekly journey to the polar regions of contemporary music. These unfamiliar musical frontiers are scoured for adventurous new sounds grounded in harmony, melody and beauty. Selections range from the sublimely quiet and reverent to overwhelming aural overload, yet more often than not sustain a tranquil and soothing mood appropriate for late evenings or early mornings. Songs that both require and reward patient, intentional listening are highly favoured. Though rarely played,‘stars’ such as Arvo Pärt, Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, Steve Reich, Phillip Glass, Brian Eno, John Fahey, Nick Drake, Nick Cave, Brian Wilson, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Jimi Hendrix, Rhys Chatham, Kevin Shields, Kieran Hebden, Christian Fennesz, and Mark Hollis light the way forward like a guiding constellation. Through the joy of discovery and the weaving of these musical threads into a cohesive sonic tapestry Katharsis aims to provide exactly that which its name implies.

HISTORY:

Katharsis commenced broadcasting on cjsw in the fall of 2000 early Sunday mornings (3-7am). After a few months the program moved to 12-2am Tuesday mornings and then filled the 11pm-12am Monday night spot vacated by longtime cjsw personality Mark Hamilton (who was busy travelling back and forth to Europe and starting his Woodpigeon project along with several other current and past cjsw personnel).

Eventually the show expanded to its current 2 hour format. As of March 7, 2010 Katharsis returned to Sundays, now at a much more accessible 8-10pm.

In the summer of 2017, Katharsis scaled back to a bi-weekly show, alternating with Processed, a fantastic show hosted by Krzysztof Sujata.

Over the years several up-and-coming artists have graced the show with fantastic live performances (Jerusalem in My Heart, Sarah Davachi, Valiska, Bitter Fictions, Hook & Eye, Chris Tenz, Noro, AM Static, Poor Man's Fantasty, Gianna Lauren, Memory Screen, Chad VanGaalen & Eric Hamelin, Azeda Booth, Preytek, Beneath These Idle Tides, Lucid 44, Woodpigeon, Dan Goldman & Snowblink, and Cam Penner). These live in-studio sessions are always a highlight for me.

If you like what you hear and also make music that you think I might be interested in playing, feel free to contact me and/or submit it to cjsw directly.
