Hello GoodBye Show 26 February 2011: Design A Wave, Gerry Mitchell and Flame Proof Moth

Performing live in session on HG today we had Design A Wave, Flame Proof Moth and Gerry Mitchell.

Taking time off as keyboardist in the mighty Faust meets Sparks mash-up that is Cleckhuddersfax, Tom Hirst performs intense, hypnotic electro music as Design-A-Wave, all warm analogue synths and reverb vocals. Design-A-Wave sounds like what the future used to sound like, when it was still mysterious and magical, before it became the present and then the past.

Flame Proof Moth is Tim Siddall’s new project following the retirement of The Boycott Coca-Cola Experience. Whereas BCCE set out to save the world after over-dosing on Resonance FM’s Max Keiser (The Truth About Markets), FPM is just trying to enjoy what little time we have left. Despite the seemingly left-field nature of his new album Women Should Be In Charge, Flame Proof Moth is convinced he’s ready for a brush with the mainstream. Hard-talking managers should apply to flameproofmoth@gmail.com.

Also, our resident poet Gerry Mitchell phones up to recite his – hot off the back of a fag packet – epic poem entitled; ‘The Empire Of My Heart’.

This Heat – SPQR
Design A Wave – ‘Medley’ (LIVE SESSION)

Starting a months of shows about Newspaper Comics, Alex Fitch talks to artist and writer Glen Baxter about his work from entering the world of self publishing in the 1970s to building an international audience via gallery shows in the 1980s and his first graphic novel – The Billiard Table Murders – in 1990, which has just entered preliminary preproduction as an animated film.

Wavelength – Nothing

NOTHING. The Nothingists was a group created at the end of 1919 in Moscow echoing the internationalisation of the Dada movement although they didn’t use that word because in Russian Dada means “yes yes” contradicting their nihilism. They stopped all activity in 1923; Manifesto From Nothingism 1920, and Decree About the Nothingists of The Poetry 1920, both from CDs accompanying the book Baku: Symphony of Sirens.

A Colour named Nothing by Contraption 37 from A Consonant Vowel, anthology of audio art and sound poetry recorded in 1988.
3’34” by Pavel Buchler; transparent vinyl single lasting 3’34” and issued in an edition of 334 copies; compilation of unrecorded parts and transitions between tracks of 10 John Cage records from the collection of Pavel Buchler, 2006.
Perhaps the ultimate Nothingness record was produced by Yves Klein in 1959 with the LP Prince of Space which is entirely silent; the only sound being the contact between the stylus and the vinyl record, unlike Buchler’s record which is a recording of stylus meeting vinyl and therefore a recording unlike Klein’s which is actually an object… but this leads to comparing silence with nothingness and as apparently there is no such thing as silence I’ll get on with the next track:
Nothing by The Fugs from The Fugs First Album ESP 1965.
Outer Nothingness by Sun Ra from The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra Volume 1 ESP 1965.
