The Far Off Sounds crew has some bittersweet news for you all out there in podcastland. After some deliberation and heavy group-texting, we've decided to put a pause on the FOS Podcast and Patreon for now. So this is our "Ta Ta for Now" episode.We're all just too swamped with work and other creative endeavors to grow the podcast or treat the Patreon like the serious job it is. It's been an incredible run, we want to extend a huge thank you to all of you who have kicked in to fund this project, and we'll be back in some form!In fact, if you're in Los Angeles, Far Off Sounds has been invited to curate a recurring night of film and music at the Philosophical Research Society. The first one is August 19th. Come say hi!You can buy tickets here:<a href="https://www.prs.org/events.html">https://www.prs.org/events.html</a>And of course, we are planning on using the money we got from the podcast and Patreon over the past 1.5 years to make good on our original promise and produce new Far Off Sounds films. COMING SOON!Love / health / reverbF.O.S.

Modern Ethnomusicology with Palmer Keen (Teaser)

Palmer Keen from Aural Archipelago joins Nick and Jacob to talk about how his DIY Ethnomusicological exploration of Indonesia came to fruition. We find out what it's like to blindly trust strangers on the internet and travel thousands of miles away to have a chance at capturing a music tradition he caught a glimpse of via youtube.Aural Archipelago is an online repository for the musical sights and sounds of Indonesia, the most musically diverse country on the planet. Part digital archive, part blog, Aural Archipelago mixes field recording, video, photography, and in-depth articles compiled from years of travels across the archipelago. The project is the work of Palmer Keen, an American DIY ethnomusicologist based in Yogyakarta, together with a huge network of collaborators and musicians across Indonesia. With this project, the hope is to allow audiences (local and foreign) free access to music that is often difficult or impossible to hear otherwise.All music is shared with permission of the artists featured. When performances are explicitly commissioned for documentation, artists are compensated appropriately.Aural Archipelago's social media pages - Facebook and Instagram - can be followed at the small links below.Palmer can be contacted at <a href="mailto:auralarchipelago@gmail.com">auralarchipelago@gmail.com</a>.
