Reality Check: The life electric
In a show looking at the possible consequences of computer technology and Artificial Intelligence on humanity, Alex Fitch talks to the directors of two new films that address these themes and how it might impact on peoples lives and after-lives. Kareem Gray discusses his movie Zero One, a cross between Knight Rider and The Terminator in which a couple of hackers discover a sentient intelligence on the internet with the power to download itself into robots and other machines; Martin Gooch and members of the cast of Death discuss this new British fantasy film starring Leslie Philips in which a pair of siblings return to their family manse after the death of their father and discover he had been working on a computer programme that allows people to converse with the dead…
Both interviews recorded in front of a live cinema audience at SCI-FI-LONDON, the London Science Fiction and Fantastic Film Festival, April 2012.

We have a mouthwatering 3 course meal this Saturday lunchtime on The Hello GoodBye Show, featuring live music from; Apostille, Bob Meyer & Little Penguin.
Apostille emerged from the wayward pop-centric impulses of Please guitarist Michael Kasparis. What began as a self-taught class in inclusive exploration has bloomed into a self-erasing exercise in broadcasting; an adrenalin-veined, ecstatic language that sweeps up a mess of electronics into a mound of emotive discharge. As direct as possible all the time.
Bob Meyer bridges the great Blues divide between South London and the Deep South.
By day, Bob is a busy London truck driver but it is at night that he really kicks into gear, presenting and producing Bob’s Folk Show on Radio Wey and Folk Radio UK.
He organized and hosted the London Folk and Roots Festival in 2012 and this June he is organizing The British Folk Radio Week.
Bob’s debut album ‘All This Is That’ is due for re-release this coming May through Malicious Damage Records.
Graham Boosey started Little Penguin when he wanted to play at a new local electronica night in his hometown of Southend on Sea, so he picked up his Game Boy Camera and began composing his own brand of experimental-soundscape, noise and drone music.

Artist Sandra Cross in conversation with Jonny Trunk about the MMs Bar Recordings: Making weekly rail trips between London and Leicester, Cross taped hundreds of buffet announcements, editing them into this 30-minute piece. Focusing on the small, usually unvarying list of fare generates a maddeningly mundane musicality. Seven minutes in, the unprecedented unavailability of hot drinks seems catastrophic. Different announcements, with vastly different emphasis and emotional resonances, can sound indefatigably enthusiastic about the Quavers/water combos, or audibly defeated. Marking the announcements as individual tracks might have offered infinite random variations, but it is fitting that we endure this album as the artist intended. (Stewart Lee review; Sunday Times Culture Section 17.07.11).

Opera singer Richard Scott explores opera through the prism of various themes – politics, power, greed, the abominable, magic, lust, comedy.
On today’s show he opens the operatic Menagerie to hear how composers have been influenced by bird song and animal calls throughout the centuries. We’ll hear Messiaen and Handel’s take on the nightingale, Birtwistle and Bizet’s take on the bull, Dove and Schubert’s take on the fish and Poulenc – well, he portrays any animal he turns his pen to…
