Hello GoodBye Show 21 January 2012: Temperatures and Tiger Walking Downhill

We have a good and wholesome, double dosage of pure and unadulterated noise planned for this lunchtime with live performance’s from Temperatures and Tiger Walking Downhill.

Jetting in from up the Kingsland Road we have Dalston’s Temperatures, the improvised avant rock duo comprised of Peter Blundell (bass) and James Dunn (drums/synth). Temperatures’ sound (no ‘The’) is a guttural, dense and relentless unleashing of some intense unspecified emotion (is it anger, is it hate, is it love?), by turns hypnotically repetitious and wildly tangential.

“Mankind’s destiny is played out in primal terms on this exciting LP, a blistering recorded performance.” Ed Pinsent, Sound Projector / Resonance FM.

“It’s really this dark-hole of noise-playing. It’s actually really distinctive in a way amongst that genre, because there’s a lot of standardized tropes in the noise genre that people fall into– which I don’t mind, I like the idea that this is traditional way of playing in that world, but it’s always cool to hear something like this where you can’t really slot it into those things” – Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth (from OhNoTheyDidnt.LiveJournal.com)

Also, hear our regular Hello GoodBye Show sound engineer Kacper Zienianin navigate an on-air roll reversal, leaping from behind the scenes to centre stage with his Noise-Improv outfit; Tiger Walking Downhill.

Track list:
Mucky Sailor – Requiem for a Sports Car
Temperatures – Zen Brick (LIVE SESSION)
Tylehurst Children’s Arkestra – Four Hours in the Lettuce Factory
Temperatures – ‘Interview’
Imbogodom – Bvsh Hovse Ghost
Paper Dollhouse – Moon
One Unique Signal – Villains
Tiger Walking Downhill – ‘Untitled’ (LIVE SESSION)
Lime-Headed Dog – Barcelona
Tiger Walking Downhill – ‘Interview’

Panel Borders: Habibi Blankets

Panel Borders: Habibi Blankets

Concluding our month of shows looking at biography and autobiography in comics, Alex Fitch talks to the multiple award winning (and Grammy nominated) cartoonist Craig Thompson about his epic new graphic novel Habibi (My beloved). Alex and Craig discuss the 672 page book’s reworking of themes from ‘One Thousand and One Nights’, mixing in modern concerns about gender politics and pollution in the Middle East and how his previous autobiographical works Blankets and Carnet de Voyage, with their themes of sexual awakening, religion and travelogue, led to his latest work.

Hello GoodBye 12 January 2012: Paul Hawkins & Thee Awkward Silences and Black Spot

Our first show of 2012 kicks off with live music from Paul Hawkins & Thee Awkward Silences and Black Spot.

We will also be re-airing a selection of our favourite pieces of music recorded live here on Hello GoodBye throughout 2011.

Paul Hawkins & The Awkward Silences formed in 2006 as a collaboration between maverick singer-songwriter Hawkins and Death in Vegas guitarist turned producer Ian Button and have gradually expanded into a six-piece. The band have released two albums and numerous singles and have built up a loyal cult following, with fans as far afield as Holland, France, Belgium and America. Their last EP ‘The Wrong Life‘ (Audio Antihero) was released in July 2011 and their new album will be released later this year.

Black Spot is the new solo moniker of ex-Congregation guitar player and singer with The Tap Collective, Benjamin Prosser. Black Spot acts as a place where the territory Benjamin’s early solo work (released on Sexton Ming’s Rim Records) left off. Though still demoing onto tape recorders and dictaphone’s Benjamin has now upped the analogue stakes recording the final versions of his new material at Gizzard Studio in the east-end. Combining an intricate finger picked intimacy with instrumentation including rythmn generator, Oscillator and found sounds Benjamin’s latest work is in his own words “the closest I’ve ever come to truly valuing, giving credence to what I do most naturally, to really speaking, saying what I believe is worth saying.”

Gerhard Richter: Panorama at Tate Modern

John Douglas Millar discusses his review of Gerhard Richter: Panorama at Tate Modern .

“The show is vast; there is the work that spars with Marcel Duchamp, the landscapes that investigate German Romanticism, September, 2005, his mournful and considered reaction to the attacks on the World Trade Center, the tender but always questioning domestic portraits of his wife and children. I cannot discuss them all here. In the end, the satisfaction of this show comes from the sense that you are constantly in the presence of an intelligence that is both effervescent and probing. A painterly mind that is able, fascinatingly, to think against itself”.

The programme is hosted by Matt Hale who has worked at Art Monthly since 1991.
