A wonderful new edition of Phantom Circuit is up on Mixcloud including my “Cosmonaut Chorus” from Farewell, Doomed Planet! along with the always excellent Letters From Mouse, Penderecki’s St. Luke’s Passion (RIP maestro), and many more. Listen below and see the track list on the Phantom Circuit website.
The Da-Dark Outside, a 24+ hour radio broadcast of recordings that have never been heard before, was scheduled to occur this spring from Kurt Schwitter’s Merz Barn in Langdale, Cumbria. Instead, for the first time ever, the Dark Outside will broadcast online starting tomorrow at 12pm UK (6am CST). There will be no tracklist, no listen again function, no archive. It’s playing once only. Go outside, far away from anyone else, and listen for as long as you can. See if you can figure out which piece (it’s called “MerzBowHaus”) is mine. Link for the broadcast + alphabetical listing of participating artists is here (Cosey Fanni Tutti!? Amazing).
Lagniappe: I made this image months ago, but I’m happy to have accidentally socially distanced us all.
Getting caught up today on Skylab Radio’s “The Space Station” with Paul Teague. Features Hiroshi Yoshimura, Radiohead, Burial, Dublock, myself, and more; sooth yourself by listening to the archived episode on Mixcloud!
Thanks to John Allen for playing “Baleen Executioner” on his morning show JA In the AM today on WFMU! It’s a rousing mix, just as good for post-lunch sleepytime as it is for the start of the day. Take a listen on the WFMU website.
