Voice on Record: Episode 39 (Wales 1/3)

Wales, part 1/3 – ancestors and ancient tales. £100 a baby, 11th Century legends, Raymond Garlick and a couple of other Welsh folk kick off a mini series of recordings revolving around the only country in the world which is exactly the size of Wales.
Originally broadcast on 15th June 2010

Voice On Record is produced and presented by Sean Williams. Each episode features a selection of recordings of the human voice which have been preserved on vinyl. Historic events stand alongside esoteric guides to better bowling. Arid studio recordings are juxtaposed with location recordings rich with fascinating incidental sounds. http://sbkw.net/voiceonrecord.php

Six Pillars – Persian Maps

“History and geography are the basis of all the humanities.“

After falling in love with a map of Persia in Harrods, Dr Ala’i spent years researching the cartography of Iran and Persia before publishing two large volumes by Brill, on different maps of Persia from the 1400s to 1925.

Dr Ala’i was invited by Iran Heritage to give a talk in January 2011 on his extensively researched specialty, and Six Pillars interviewed him to find out more about this passion of his.

This is the whole interview, the first part of which was broadcast in January 2011 on Six Pillars to Persia, from the Resonance104.4Fm studios, London.

Wavelength – Music in the margins

Wild Classical Music Ensemble: Rien de Rien, Jaws, Happy Flute, The Prisoner.
Sub Rosa; musics in the margins: “Instantly the floor falls silent when the four mentally retarded musicians together with their artistic mentor and drummer, all ill at ease, clear their way among drums, trumpets, violins, melodica, samplers and an electric guitar”.
Israel Quellet: Oppressum. Sub Rosa; musics in the margins: For percussion and sound toys, For percussion, sander and telephone keyboard strokes, For buckets dragged on the ground and saturation.
