Hooting Yard: Art Squad.

Yes, sad to say there was a time when I was beset by anxiety dreams, in which I was poised, with a sharp pair of scissors, to cut out “guns” and its definition from a brand new dictionary, the pot of mucilage and a spatula beside the dictionary on the desk, and my hand trembled and I could not make the snip. I had this dream, or nightmare, over and over again for a number of years. In a more alarming variant, I dreamed that I managed to cut out the “guns” entry, but then mislaid it, or dropped it into a wastepaper bin, or it was consumed by flames and I had but a pile of ash, which I then painstakingly tried to paste, atom by atom, into the dictionary, with mucilage, and I would wake up shrieking.

Hello GoodBye – 20.10.12 – UMEZ, Kostoglotov, Bob Meyer & Joe Wilkes

Lots to squeeze into 90 minutes on The Hello GoodBye Show today!

Guests include: Kostoglotov, Umez, Bob Meyer & Joe Wilkes

Kostoglotov is the London based bedroom recording project of Daryl Worthington. He writes and records lo-fi, ambient and drone music using a combination of Dictaphone, 4-track and laptop.

2012 has seen a plethora of releases from Kostoglotov, including a split tape with Camberwell improvising no-wave electro punks Circuit Breaker on the Liminal Noise Tapes label, and a solo CDR entitled ‘Our Beautiful Decay’ on his own Neither Scene Nor Has Been label and several free download releases.

Most recently he released an EP entitled ‘East London 27.07 – 13.08’, this was built on field recordings taken from outside his house in East London during the 2012 London Olympics. In September the Eyes EP was released on the HLF/PIN netlabel.

Kostoglotov also organises and curates his own irregular nights of experimental pop, drone, punk and electronic music at Power Lunches, Dalston, entitled ‘Tell Me What To Do.’

Umez; A brand-new Japanese avant-garde band based in London. Their sound contains two completely opposite side of music genres, noise and pop. Although they’re two opposite music genres, their noise sound is purely heavy white noise meaning it matches perfectly with their pop sound reminding you the sorrow you feel in the end of the summer. Also, they’ve already supported a few influential artists such as Damo Suzuki (ex. Can) and Dee Dee (Dum Dum Girls) despite their short activity.

Also, The London Folk & Roots Festival organisers Bob Meyer and Joe Wilkes will also be dropping by the studio to discuss the event.

London Folk and Roots Festival will be on the 28th October 2012 at The Amersham Arms. 388 New Cross Road. SE14 6TY.

OST 20.10.2012 – BBC Records Special

Soundtracks, library and television music plus other assorted ephemera brought to you this week by Robin The Fog. Having just released ‘The Ghosts Of Bush’, a well-received LP of his recordings of the former World Service building Bush House and earning himself the title of ‘The BBC’s Resident Hauntologist’, it seemed only good and right to invite Mr. Fog to present a special edition of the programme looking at the BBC’s own in-house label and some of the weird and wonderful records they’ve put out over the years. Expect music for home movies, movement and mime, sound effects and even a few sailors, as well as a couple of extracts from the LP that some claim ‘may be the last piece of true radiophonics’. You’ll also discover the meaning of the phrase ‘taking down with birds’ and improve your German. Kinky…

Panel Borders: Sussex to South Asia and stops in-between

Continuing a month of shows about travel in comic books and graphic novels, this week’s Panel Borders looks at the work of two young graphic novelists whose work is published by Jonathan Cape. Alex Fitch talks to Julian Hanshaw about his new collection of short stories, I’m Never Coming Back which includes his award winning entry to the Observer / Cape Graphic Short Story Prize, and his previous graphic novel The Art of Pho, which both depict magical-realist stories of travel around the globe.

Also, in a talk given at Laydeez do Comics earlier this year, Hannah Berry discusses her second graphic novel, Adamtime, which tells the tale of a group of people trapped on a mysterious, sedentary train in the middle of the night, the paths that lead them there and their attempts to escape. (Originally broadcast 21/10/12 on Resonance FM)

Wavelength – Destruction in Art part 14.

“With an extreme rigour evocative of Pol Pot’s visions of the same period for the future of Year Zero Cambodia, Otto Muehl, one of the Vienna Actionists, demanded the eradication of all books, languages, art works, music and factories; the famines that will result from these systematic destructions are to be welcomed (human bodies can then ingest one another in a lethal sexual pandaemonium, with the weakest being consumed first). Muehl also warmly advocated incest, filmed orgies and all kinds of bestiality, and attempts to eradicate the distinction between human and animal life; however, he demands the extermination of all ‘useless animals’ together with the destruction of forests and cities…” from The Art of Destruction, The Films of the Vienna Action Group by Stephen Barber. Music by Dieter Roth, Gerhard Ruhm and Oswald Wiener; Berliner Dichter Workshop 1973, and both sides of the single Psycho-Motorik Musik by Otto Muehl.

Wavelength – Destruction in Art part 13. Niki de St. Phalle. Arman.

Letter from Niki de St. Phalle to Pontus Hulten: “In 1961 I shot at canvases because shooting allowed me to express the aggression that I felt. An assassination without a victim. I shot because I liked seeing the canvas bleed and die. I shot to reach that magical instant, that ecstasy. It was a moment of truth, I trembled with passion when I shot at my paintings”. Four tracks from 2010 by Pierre Henry in memory of Arman composed for the recent retrospective at the Pompidou.
