John Foley aka Misterboots is a radio dj, programmer, sound artist, and blogger residing just outside of Providence, Rhode Island, USA. He has been producing freeform radio programming since 1991, and is currently a member of Brown University Student and community Radio, where he serves on the programming board. His now defunct show Notes and Sounds from Misterboots was a freeform, eclectic show in 2009, and his current show The Fieldhouse is a mix show featuring funky electronic music made with the use of field recordings.
His production work includes ambient soundscapes and quirky minimal techno, both heavily laden with found sounds and field recordings.
“This mix is a narrative of the overnight shore leave of a military sailor in a large, mysterious city. Typically I would not include more than one track from any given artist, but given the goal, I leaned on a few artists who’s output was optimal in narrating the story. Nary a track was played in it’s entirety, and almost every track has a significant amount of overlap or slices meshed with the surrounding tracks- several chunks of tracks were even played at the same time. The mix begins and ends with work from Alvin Curran, a sound artist who hails from my home state of Rhode Island. Much of the music I selected is from New York artists, fittingly, with the notable exception of a musicians few from Vermont, San Fransisco, Moroco, and Germany” – John Foley.
