Soundtracks, library and television music and other assorted jollies with ringmaster Jonny Trunk. Today’s guest is rock master and soundtrack composer John Parish. Infamous for his collaborations with PJ Harvey, Parish has been quietly forging his career in the world of independent film, creating inspired soundscapes and scores for a number of hip art-house movies. His first ever soundtrack compilation has just been issued on Thrill Jockey Records and we’re very chuffed to have him on the show. Get downloading…

Concluding a month of shows looking at small press and independent comics, we have a pair of interviews recorded in venues where such titles are stocked. Alex Fitch talks to Jenny-Linn Cole (in the gallery of Orbital Comics), about her graphic novel Shallowater, an epic tale of music, masculinity, TV detectives and existentialism that is being serialised in a series of small press comics. Also, in an interview recorded at the DIY Cultures festival, at Rich Mix cinema in East London, Dickon Harris talks to Jon Turner about the independent comics magazine Your days are numbered which mixes reviews and articles about sequential art with cutting edge graphic design.

Looking Good, Feeling Great Episode 4 – Clever Use Of An Interesting Quality
Hello. I want to talk to you. Are you in the mood for soft voices? Lovely hula hands? Let’s end our routine with the ‘leg-over’ movement. You are going to relax. You will relax. Make yourself comfortable. You are enjoying a massage, which is being skillfully applied. You walk naked. You get on this escalator. Down towards the floor. Gaze at it intently. Now don’t lose it. I don’t want you to be sick. Take it through the nose. Let the face go. Very soothing. Put it in a nutshell. You’re flat on the floor again. Blame the gypsies. Let them touch the body. Feels good.
We’re all the same.

Reality Check: the True Love of Arthur Sleep
Alex Fitch talks to graphic designer turned film-maker Sam Harris about his short silent film Arthur Sleep, a half hour Stygian odyssey that mixes elements of The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari and Eraserhead, as a trip on the London Underground takes a traveller into more mysterious destinations than he envisioned. Also, in a Q and A recorded at last year’s SCI-FI-LONDON, Alex talks to the writers and producer of True Love, an SF thriller that tests a couple’s devotion to each other as a set of innocuous questions in a surrealist prison turn to torture.
(Originally broadcast Friday 26th April on Resonance 104.4 FM)
Arthur Sleep is premiering at Deptford Old Town Hall, New Cross, London SE14 6AF on 28 April at 4pm with a live score performed by members of the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and London art-rock bands – more info at www.freefilmfestivals.org / True Love is released in Japanese cinemas on 27th April and this year’s SCI-FI-LONDON festival takes place at various venues around London from 30th April – more info at www.sci-fi-london.com

The Opera Hour – series 2/episode 25
Opera singer Richard Scott explores opera through the prism of various themes – politics, power, greed, the abominable, magic, lust, comedy.
Today he explores the lost and missing and catalogues the alienated within opera. We’ll hear from Britten’s violent anti-hero Peter Grimes, from Handel’s sopping and naked Cesare as he washes up on the banks of The Nile, from Birtwistle’s unhinged and obsessed Ariadne as she sends another twelve innocent victims to their horrific death within the Minotaur’s labyrinth; and from Berg’s bleak and tragic Wozzeck who’s medical trials bring about supernatural visions and the murder of his wife.

Sophie J Williamson on the case of Khaled Mohamed Saeed
Following Khaled Mohamed Saeed’s death at the hands of Egyptian police officers, his family’s decision to release a striking montage of photographs showing him before and after death catalysed mass protests and ultimately revolution. Does the subsequent proliferation of poster images through protestors’ networks highlight the urgent power of the image when embedded within grassroots movements?
‘The viral image is outside the scope of the law so it facilitates the construction of anonymous global networks and a shared history that political institutions are incapable of regulating.’
