Coming Tuesday, March 15: Shaking Through - LA BIG VIC

This Tuesday we're excited for our next release in the Shaking Through series, featuring LA BIG VIC and their epic song “Musica.” The Brooklyn trio comes to us from guest curator Elise O. of the music blog, Pixelhorse, who also curated the January episode with  A Classic Education.

LA BIG VIC is violinist and music blogger, Emilie Friedlander, analog synth guru, Peter Pearson and Japanese synthesist and guitar player, Toshio Masuda. Their massive soundscapes recall the late 90s electro drone of Eltro, PanSonic and Bowry Electric …. all, of course, tipping their hats to Krautrock luminaries such as Can, Faust, and Kraftwerk.

It's time to be techy... Grab the zip files below for raw audio, mix stems and technical info from the recent Port St. Willow Shaking Through session.  I have to be honest - it's a bit of social experiment: We think this could narrow the distance between artist and audience, something that's really important to us here. We hope you'll look at and listen to the incredible work that went into this music on a track by track basis, and then join in on the creative process if you want!

Shaking Through: Port St Willow

We're proud to share with you our latest release. Shaking Through Volume 2, Episode 2 featuring Port St Willow and the beautifully haunting track "Stay Even". The project was curated and produced by Peter Silberman, front man of the Brooklyn indie band, The Antlers. We recorded it in the waning days of October, so watch out for some beautiful imagery, too! 

Coming to Philadelphia all the way from Portland, OR, Port St. Willow is the work of multi-instrumentalist Nick Principe, a childhood friend and musical collaborator of Silberman. Recording "Stay Even" for Shaking Through was a perfect opportunity for the two to reconnect and make music once again! Watch out this weekend for more details regarding a Port St. Willow Private Studio Concert in April, but for now, watch the episode above, and hear the track at shakingthrough.com
