, she talked about using radios in her solo work. “Something I really like about the radio is that I’m responding,” she said. “You turn on the radio, and someone could say pretty much anything—except, like, a select number of swear words.” Kohl has an affinity for collaboration—her regular partners include Macie Stewart, Makaya McCraven, and Katinka Kleijn—and she treats her field recordings like active collaborators too.
She frames each fragmentary sample so that even the static feels like a living part of the lush, tranquil, gradually evolving music, and the radio recordings mesh with the other material so well that you might wonder if they weren’t also somehow responding to her. Kohl fleshed out the album with a small symphony of instruments she played herself—cello, of course, plus synthesizers, kazoo, wind machine, piano, drums, bells, and concertina.
