  • Don Joyce documentary

    Don Joyce documentary

    After I watched the Negativland documentary trailer, Ryan Worsley’s previous documentary in 2020 about Don Joyce (RIP) came on…I remember hearing about this but hadn’t watched it yet. It’s really good and a must watch for lovers of mashup history and plunderphonics, or indeed radio, and indeed goes a little bit into the history of…

  • The Sound Makers

    The Sound Makers

    Fascinating audio from a 1963 BBC “Sound’ Documentary about the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. The fact it’s on vinyl is because the BBC transcribed many of their works onto vinyl for safe-keeping and future re-use – the B-side is actually repeats of the A-side.

    Lorraine Bowen with Barbara Moore

    Given the hundredth anniversary of (some) women getting the right to vote in the UK, it seems appropriate to post this show I was listening to from the ‘Crumble Lady’ Lorraine Bowen, talking to composer Barbara Moore. Loving this podcast, Lorraine has the same love of stereo test records and Radiophonics as myself, and it…
