Lighting Out for the Territories


This mix came about because I wanted to find a vehicle for some of the great music coming out of Lost Tribe Sound and their Fearful Void series. The bundle of releases includes 15 albums to be released between June 2020 and June 2021. You can find more info here...


Like the website says Lost Tribe Sound "specializes in organic and exploratory music that transcends genre, technique, or trend." The music in this new series is both grounded and otherworldly. I wanted to take that mostly acoustic, organic sound and spread it throughout this mix. There are a lot of wind instruments in this set. I find myself more and more drawn to sound and texture of sax, alto clarinet, oboe, trombone, etc. and this mix presented a great way to include some of that music.

The title doesn't really mean anything, I just like the sound of it. It's the title of a Laurie Anderson track on a live album from the 80s. I have it on a list of mix titles I keep in a google doc that I use for ideas and inspiration.

Cheers!

Many thanks for the mix. Enjoying this one. But just to note, at the conclusion of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck says: “But I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can't stand it. I been there before.”

There is also a book by the British writer, Iain Sinclair called Lights Out For the Territory, about walking in London, published in 1997.

Thanks for the info! I had no idea of the origins of the phrase. I just stole it from Laurie Anderson. Thanks for listening and commenting.

Cheers!
