<br> Ian Nagoski <br>
is music researcher, musician, writer, and record producer. His
avocation is inspiring people who love music to love it more. In 2007
Ian released Black Mirror, a collection of gripping music recorded
between 1918 and 1954 on the Dust-to-Digital; taste-makers Pitchfork
gave it an 8.6 and Baltimore’s City Paper called it “enigmatic,
transfixing, haunting, pretty, and just plain odd,” and the Kronos
Quartet (whose David Harrington called it the<br> Record of the Year in
the UK paper the Independent) began performing a piece from it. The
academic journal Ethnomusicology lauded it as an exceptional collection,
despite having been made for the general public.<br> <br> Nagoski
followed Black Mirror with two more international collections A String
of Pearls, Brass Pins & Match Heads for his own Canary imprint
(manufactured and distributed by the Porland, OR label Mississippi
Records and now available digital through iTunes, Amazon, etc., along
with the rest of the Canary catalog via San Francisco's Tompkins Square
Records) as well as an LP of the under-recognized and brilliant
1920s Greek singer Marika Papagika, which LA Times Music Editor Randall
Roberts has called "awe-inspiring." and an LP of the mid-30s recordings
of the Indian classical singer Abdul Karim Khan which Aquarius Records
named the record of the week in August, '11,saying it was
"something else altogether [...], haunting and mystical and completely
gorgeous.[...], so powerful and so passionate [...] you'll be whisked
away, totally transported, as the sounds surround you, and seep into
your spirit and soul. The music here so utterly transcendent, so lush,
warm and welcoming, yet at the same time, so strange and wondrous,
Khan's voice sounding like its bathed in divine light. Incredible."<br> <br>
In recent months, Canary Records has also release two LPs of Greek and
Middle Eastern music from the early and mid 20th century, Bed of Pain
and What Remains of Eden. Before year's end the label will see three
more new releases covering Eastern European immigrant's music, the great Hindustani singer Smt. Kesarbai Kerkar, and a "global view" of the rise of rock n roll.<br> <br>
Nagoski is also a writer, who has contributed to dozens of magazines
and blogs, and has traveled widely as a teacher and lecturer, moving
between galleries, bars, universities, coffee houses, sound-art
festivals, radio.<br> <br> He is the recipient of a Kindle Foundation Muse Makers award.<br> <br> A Washington Post festure on Nagoski was selected for Da Capo's Best Music Writing 2011:<br> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/13/AR2010081305087.html" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><span>http://</span><span></span><span>www.washingtonpost.com/</span><span></span><span>wp-dyn/content/article/</span><span></span><span>2010/08/13/</span><span></span>AR2010081305087.html</a><br>

<br> 4.5/5 "a beautiful and labyrinthine Americana, one that stretches confines of the definition of the word itself. It is an essential document for collectors of world music, but also for those interested in the unsung personas that created 20th century America."<br>
- AllMusic <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/to-what-strange-place-the-ottoman-american-diaspora-1916-1929-r2213275/review" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><span>http://www.allmusic.com/</span><span></span><span>album/</span><span></span><span>to-what-strange-place-the-o</span><span></span><span>ttoman-american-diaspora-1</span><span></span>916-1929-r2213275/review</a><br>
<br> "Comparisons with Harry Smith's anthology or Revenant's American Primitive are in order, not least because this is American music with a capital A, animated by the same feelings of desperation, nostalgia, the quest for cheap kicks and the agony of loss. Like Smith, Nagoski is a Walter Benjamin visionary, using his collection of 78s to hallucinate a history that actually happened but which remains hidden beneath official dogma and nationalisms."<br>
-The Wire, August 2011<br> <br> "Nagoski's affection for this music is more than apparent; it's his dedication to honoring the musicians' lives, traditions, and communities that makes To What Strange Place the triumph it is. It's one of the most valuable contributions to our understanding and appreciation of American music -- as that's what this is -- to come down the pike in a long time."<br>
