A Reason To Wake Up Finishing A Job
A Reason to Wake Up: Finishing A Job. A special series with Daniel Kitson during our Annual Fundraiser - it's live, it's not repeated and not archived. "The idea for these shows came from sorting through all my CDs at the end of November. I thought it would take three days and it took me nearly three weeks because cases were empty, CDs were loose, things were stuck on them etc. I washed them and got them back in their boxes and then started deciding which ones I was going to keep. I ended up with three piles: Keeping; Charity Shop; Listen to then Make a Decision. There were around 500 CDs in that third pile. I dropped them off to Resonance mid-December and the music on these shows comes exclusively from that pile. I'll have a listen and then decide whether I'm keeping it. The ones I'm not keeping, I'll drop at a charity shop on the way home.” [Does not repeat. Next episode: next weekday morning at 7am.]

Late Lunch with Out to Lunch
Polemic, politics, mouth jazz and spontaneous music with Ben Watson. This week: What is time? What is music? Ben contends that, like everything, music happens in time, but time can be dense or vacuous. His preference is for dense time jam-packed with invention, so he favours free improvisation, and plays three pieces recorded by AMM All-Stars at the Betsey Trotwood at their Friday lunchtime residency: Esther Leslie on Winbridge voice amplifier; Dave Black on electric guitar; Nick Lubran on mini-acoustic guitar; Out To Lunch on electric piano, flute samples and organ; Joanna Boxall on shaker; and Mario Guarnieri on percussion. However, what about doubling or tripling time, by superimposing music recorded at different times? Following Frank Zappa and Simon H. Fell, Ben calls this "xenochrony", and plays two pieces created by superimposing alien rhythms on his own guitar and piano. Plus, Peter Baxter responds on percussion in real time to a slowed-down recording of a Lions Mane mushroom triggering a synthesiser by its electrical communication system... [Repeats Sunday 6am.]
