Sketch NOODLES is a collection of improvised bits of sound & music created live with electronics and field recordings specifically for the Quieter Time of Night program on Shirley & Spinoza Radio – often serving as background during spoken mic-breaks or as standalone pieces.

I’ve been asked by several curious listeners about the tracks that appear in the playlists labeled as “sketch_noodle+record_date” so decided to compile this series of selections from the past year to share. These sonic organisms, some pure texture, some more conventionally musical, rhythmic, drone or ‘ambient’ are for the most part, relatively unpolished and aside from trimming, fades and dynamics processing, remain unedited just as they were recorded live in s&S’s tiny radio studio in Dali, China. Still, when assembled, I think they stand quite well together as a nice, little enjoyable collection – I hope you agree.

Quieter Time of Night is a thrice daily 60-minute stream of more subdued, ambient-ish, textural sounds than the usual s&S Radio fare – and judging from what listeners often write in to say, particularly welcome in these precarious, anxious times. It is indeed as much for me as it is for you!

All tracks were recorded at s&S’s Banana-Hut Hideaway in Dali, Yunnan Province, China by me, Fausto Caceres (aka your Remote Operator) – compiled as I prepared my great escape August 2020
