OST 11/06/2011 – Michel Legrand Special

Soundtracks, library and television music curated by Jonny Trunk. In this archive edition from June 2011, Jonny feels moved to play the music of the veteran composer, arranger and general cool cat Michel Legrand. The reason for this venture, not that it particularly needs one, is that Jonny had been to see the great man give a thoroughly satisfactory performance at Ronnie Scott’s a few days previously, and felt compelled to prepare a tribute episode away from the distractions of courting couples and chickens in a basket…

Slightly shorter than your average OST due to the events at the Raven Row gallery, but no less perfectly formed!

I’m ready for my close-up: Simon Rumley on Red White and Blue

Virginie Selavy talks to Simon Rumley, director of the excellent, unpredictable murder ballad Red White and Blue, which tells the complex, violent tale of an emotionally reluctant girl and an edgy loner. One of the best thrillers of 2010 and a great take on screwed up love and serial killers.

Hello GoodBye Show 1 October 2011: Zapoppin’

Business as usual this Saturday lunchtime here on Hello GoodBye, with a debut live performences on the show from Zapoppin’.

Zapoppin’ are the key proponent of the powerskiffle genre. Thomas G.J. Sharpe and Luke Richards on banjo, harmonium and drums straddling sinister pop, awkward croon and upbeat folk. They have entertained audiences from Penzance to Berlin, summoning great intensity from the most meagre of instruments.

The band have been noted for their ‘black humour and obtuse lyrical themes’ by Clash and in 2010 were said that they ‘could be the face of a new strain of folk once everyone has recovered from their Mumford measles’ by 247 Magazine.

With names such as Krzysztof Penderecki, Jonny Greenwood, Aphex Twin, Brian Eno etc. it was bound to be a success…

But apart from big names, there was a lot of interesting and almost underground stuff going on.

Kacper Ziemianin takes us for a journey to this event, with recordings, interviews and sound files from different events of the congress.

Focusing mainly on music and sound art side of the congress we can listen to Krzysztof Penderecki in concert with Jonny Greenwood and Aphex Twin, ‘Sound Cinema’  project and ‘Sound Education and Social Change’.

Panel Borders: Kid Koala’s Kult Komics

Panel Borders: Kid Koala’s Kult Komics

Starting New British Comics month on Panel Borders in its new Sunday night slot, guest presenter Robin The Fog talks to Eric San, better known as Kid Koala, a world-renowned DJ, turntablist and cartoonist hailing from Montreal. Best known for a series of delightfully odd-ball albums released on the UK Ninja Tune label (often including a free comic book), 2011 has seen the publication of his second graphic novel Space Cadet, a labour of love years in the making, complete with bespoke soundtrack album. The Kid has also been travelling around presenting a series of ‘Music To Draw To’ events of late, where pens and paper are mandatory accessories and the audience sit around drawing to an ‘inspirational’ turntable set. Sketchbook in hand, Robin The Fog attended the recent London leg of his tour to talk etch-boards, robots and the Canadian work-ethic.
