Aidan Baker

<p>Today’s guest deejay is <a href="https://aidan-baker.tumblr.com" title="Aidan Baker">Aidan Baker</a>.</p> <p>I came across Aidan on one of my deep dives on <a href="https://aidanbaker.bandcamp.com" title="AIdan Baker">Bandcamp</a> and was struck by his music. Aidan, a Canadian musician currently residing in the creative hub of Berlin, has an impressive repertoire that spans solo work and collaborations with notable groups like <a href="http://nadja.bandcamp.com/" title="Nadja">Nadja</a>, <a href="https://hypnodroneensemble.bandcamp.com" title="Hypnodrone Ensemble">Hypnodrone Ensemble</a>, and <a href="https://werl.bandcamp.com" title="WERL">WERL</a></p> <p>Baker’s musical ingenuity is particularly evident in his experimental guitar playing style, which draws inspiration from a diverse range of artists, including <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspar_Br%C3%B6tzmann" title="Caspar Brötzmann">Caspar Brötzmann</a>, <a href="https://www.plotkinworks.com" title="James Plotkin">James Plotkin</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Albini" title="Steve Albini">Steve Albini</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Broadrick" title="Justin Broadrick">Justin Broadrick</a>. It’s a pleasure to have him curate this episode’s mix, a captivating compilation that showcases his unique musical sensibilities.</p> <p>Want to hear more beautiful music? Just last week, Aidan released his new album, <em><a href="https://aidanbaker.bandcamp.com/album/tense-surfaces" title="Tense Surfaces">Tense Surfaces</a></em>. I’ve been listing to it while I write today’s show notes while an ocean breeze wafts its way through my windows. It’s a lovely experience.</p> <p>Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Mark O’Shea of the <a href="https://www.winter-light.nl" title="Winter-Light">Winter-Light</a> music label.</p> <p>See you then.</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://www.discogs.com/release/699357-James-Plotkin-Tim-Wyskida-8-Improvisations" title="Plotkin &amp; Wyskida">Plotkin &amp; Wyskida</a> “Improv
