Modulisme
[Repeated from Friday 11.30pm.] Modulisme (which translates as Modularism) is a series devoted to out of leftfield modular synthesis. This week: Buchlaïsms 7, Part 3. Donald Buchla invented electronic music instruments. Although his designs resemble what we think of as synthesisers and work in similar ways, Buchla insisted that his creations were not synthesisers, but part of the larger electronic music instrument family, "just like the wind family, the brass family or members of the string family".

Late Lunch with Out to Lunch
[Repeated from Wednesday 2pm.] Polemic, politics, mouth jazz and spontaneous music with Ben Watson.

Clear Spot
[Repeated from Tuesday 9pm.] Tuning Into Total Refreshment Centre.

Reflecting on the journey since the book captured a vital moment in London’s grassroots music culture, they revisit the artists, ideas and collective spirit that shaped the space and ask what comes next. Part reunion, part reckoning, the discussion celebrates the community that grew around TRC while confronting the realities facing independent venues and DIY music spaces today. A timely conversation about making space for the future.
8:00am - 9:00am
Sound As Object And Music Found
[Repeated from Thursday 3.30pm.] A three part examination by Diana Mavroleon of the life and work of Rolf Gehlhaar (1943-2019).

Arty Facts
Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts. Today, Master J is joined by musical theatre actor Karen Holmes, The Viagra Fools lead singer Steve e Blunder and comedy musician Mike Martin for the final instalment of rehearsal recordings from the 2021 musical, It’s a Boy. These recordings capture the songs at their most vulnerable — before confidence, competence, or basic coordination have had a chance creep into their performances. Each shambolic attempt is followed by the far more presentable studio versions laid down afterwards. Hear Master J take to the piano for an alternate rendition of Carrying the One with Karen, alongside the debut outings and eventual recoveries of I Want to Be In, I’m Just Working for the Man, and Hey Little God. Expect enthusiasm, volume, a lack of musical integrity and a group of people determined to see things through to the end. If you’ve followed the series this far, this is your reward - our promise there won't be any more episodes! For more information visit Master J on Facebook. [Repeats Friday 3.30pm.]
2:00pm - 3:00pm
Calling All Pensioners
[Repeated from Monday 1pm.] Magazine programme with Tim Hamilton, addressing issues which affect pensioners across London. This week: Independent Age calls on the UK Government to improve energy efficiency measures in privately rented homes for the benefit of older tenants. The charity is also campaigning for a national social tariff for water because older people should not have to struggle to afford such an essential service. Age UK reveals the results of its recent cost-of-living survey, in which 80% of older people said their standard of living is worse than it was 5 years ago, with 85% saying they have had to change how they live because of price rises. Our musical tribute is to Neil Sedaka, aged 86, who was an iconic American singer, songwriter and classically trained pianist whose career spanned more than six decades. Produced by Deptford Action Group for the Elderly.
