Radio Endless : 
Playlist for the Painfully Alone
- 외로운 이를 위한 플레이리스트

안녕하세요, 저는 샘 베를린이라고 합니다. 뉴저지 출신이고, 탭 존스 라는 이름으로 디제잉과 음악 작업을 하고 있습니다. 이번에 Tilt의 라디오 엔드리스에 초대받아 플레이리스트를 꾸릴 수 있게 되어 감사드립니다.

어릴 적부터 저는 음악에 완전히 사로잡혀 있었습니다. 지금도 마찬가지고요. 어린 시절엔 가지고 있는 모든 자원을 동원해 새로운 음악, 흥미로운 음악을 찾아내며 제 집착을 키워갔습니다. 지금처럼 인터넷이 본격적으로 보급되기 전이었기 때문에, 도서관, 라디오, 반스앤노블, 이웃, 그리고 친구들의 형·누나들을 통해 음악을 접하곤 했습니다. 그렇게 조금씩 제 취향을 가다듬고, 저만의 음악적 정체성을 만들어가기 시작했습니다.

특히 2000년대 초반, Jade Tree, K, Troubleman Unlimited, DFA Records 같은 레이블들이 떠받치던 인디 음악 씬에 강하게 끌렸습니다. 이 레이블들과 그들이 내던 밴드들은 펑크에서 출발했지만, 2000년대 초반에 발표된 음악들은 장르를 비껴가고, 실험적이며, 쉽게 분류하기 어려운 성격을 지니고 있었습니다. 노이즈와 전자음, 그리고 예상을 벗어나는 흐름으로 점점 기울어졌지요. 음악적으로는 장르의 틀을 깨고 있었지만, 녹음 방식, 발매 방식, 개념 면에서는 여전히 펑크적인 정신을 유지하고 있었습니다.

지금은 누구나 손끝에서 음악을 쉽게 접할 수 있고, 음악은 종종 ‘음악’이 아니라 단순히 ‘콘텐츠’로 불리곤 합니다. 하지만 제가 처음 이 노래들을 접했을 때는, 겨우 2분 30초의 황홀한 순간을 듣기 위해 10분 동안 퀵타임 파일이 로딩되길 기다려야 했습니다.

그래서 여기, 16살의 제가 만든 믹스테이프를 여러분께 전합니다. 즐겨주시면 좋겠습니다.

Hi, my name is Sam Berlin. I’m from New Jersey. I DJ and make music under the name Tab Jones. Thank you for inviting me to put together this playlist for Radio Endless at Tilt. 

 

Growing up I was obsessed with music. I still am. As a kid, I would use every resource I had to find new and interesting music to feed my obsession. This was before the internet really blew up, so I would utilize my local library, the radio, Barnes & Noble, neighbors and my friends’ older siblings. Eventually, I started to refine my tastes and develop my own musical identity.

 

I was drawn to the emerging independent music scene of the early 2000s that was held up by labels like Jade Tree, K, Troubleman Unlimited, and DFA Records. Many of these labels and the bands they released had their genesis in punk, but the music they made and released in the early 2000s was left of center, experimental and difficult to classify. There started to be more of a gravitation towards noise, electronics, and diverting expectations. It defied genre musically, but was somehow still punk in the way it was recorded, released and conceptualized.

 

Now, everyone has music at their fingertips and it’s often referred to not as music, but as “content”. When I first heard many of these songs, I would have to wait 10 minutes for a Quicktime file to load to experience two and a half minutes of pure bliss.

 

So here it is, a mixtape from my 16 year old self to you. I hope you enjoy it.
