Fog Cast
[Repeated from Wednesday 11pm.] A series of late-night, deep listening soundtracks hosted by Robin The Fog. Tonight, we celebrate the release of 'Diversed Tapes', a double album retrospective of the pioneering artist, composer and choreographer Ernest Berk. One of the earliest and most prolific composers of electronic music in Britain, but also one of the least renown, a situation not helped by much of his extensive archive being considered lost forever after the tragic collapse of the Cologne Archives in 2009. We open and close with two of his extended 1960s works, 'Totentanz (Von Basel), Op. 161' and 'Sychrome, Op. 120' respectively. In between we head across the Atlantic for Pauline Oliveros' classic 'Big Mother is Watching You' from 1966. Come drift into the night with us... Further details at: robinthefog.com.

Joshua Elza Breen Tucci: The Birth And Death Of A Planet
The Birth and Death of a Planet is an imaginary acoustic-ecology/soundscape recorded across deep-time, tracing the life cycle of an earth-like planet. Operating somewhere between documentary field-recording, ambient electronic composition, and science fiction, the work follows the planet's life as it violently coalesces into a celestial body, matures, thrives, and inevitably succumbs to the cold lifelessness of the greater universe around it. Produced by Joshua Elza Breen-Tucci.
