You Are Hear Sessions: Bohman Brothers

This Bohman Brother session was originally broadcast live on June 6th 2005 on the You Are Hear Show. The Bohman Brothers are the creators of a unique and impure experimental music. Traces of Fluxus japery, musique concrete, sound poetry and free improvisation can be detected, yet ultimately the whole is greater and more arcane than the sum of its parts.

Hooting Yard: The Private Memoirs & Confessions of an Ignorant Ornithologist

Saw a worm being dragged from the soil by something much bigger than it, possibly with wings. Rang Dennis to tell him about it. He said he’d come and check, but by the time he arrived, puffed out, ten minutes later, the thing was gone, and there was no sign of the worm. Dennis said it was probably a cassowary.

Hooting Yard: When Blodgett met Dobson

“Four kinds of wild pigs are found. The most numerous, or at least the most often seen, as it lies about our enclosures, is the common thorn-hog. It is the largest of the wild pigs, long-bodied and flat-sided, in colour much the hue of the mud in which it wallows.” – Richard Jefferies, After London

The first Hooting Yard of 2005 brings more revelations into the literary life of Dobson, plus advice on keeping a wild-pig.

Midnight Sex Talk – Dirty Old Town

Midnight Sex Talk delves deep into London’s seamy past: stews, molly houses and the clap. It was just like today, really, but with different clothing, and without the latex condoms and antibiotics.

You can hear presenter and Voiceover King Piers Gibbon reading out some historical sleaze; Matthew Glamorre talking about Polari, the the gay slang that grew out of C18 thieves-and-theatre culture; and, by coincidence, our first interview with John Constable about Cross Bones in Southwark.

If that wasn’t enough, we’ve got Hallie Rubenhold talking about her book on Harris’s List, the gentleman consumer’s guide to the prostitutes of eighteenth century London.

Midnight Sex Talk is broadcast on alternate Sunday nights, from 11.30pm-12.30am, on Resonance 104.4 FM. More info about us

Six Pillars To Persia: November 10th 2005

Six Pillars to Persia is an English Language programme that looks at Persian heritage and modern Iranian culture. From artists and exiled writers to the major exhibitions at the British Museum.

World renowned film maker Abbas Kiarotsami gives a talk at the V & A museum on realism in film. This talk follows a viewing of director Abbas Kiarostami’s film Taa’ziyeh about the Islamic ceremony particular to Iran, in which men and women in the audience sit separately and chanting, lamenting and often crying or even beating their chests over the terrible death of Imam Hussein.

This programme was recorded in the Resonancefm studios and features a recording made by Fari Bradley at the V & A Museum.  Translating for Kiarostami is Vali Mahlouji. Many thanks to the Victoria & Albert Museum and Sussan Deyhim for their permission to broadcast the audio.
