NEXT GRAVEYARD 27 JANUARY 2012

2012-01-24T11:25:00.000+11:00

Dead and Alive are back on 3RRR 102.7FM 2-6am Friday 27 January. Sadly PC from mnmlssgs won't be joining me after his date balls-up, so I get to play whatever I feel like. Playlist will be posted after the show on Friday.

DEAD & ALIVE DOWNLOADS

2011-04-07T13:26:00.003+10:00

THRILLING NEWS: Three of our finest Dead & Alive episodes have been pulled from the archives and are now available for download! This is a fine opportunity to chuckle once more to our jolly-yet- informative off-the-cuff banter, or experience our unpretentious, idiosyncratic approach to introducing the classics for the first time. So, click on the titles below and keep us for posterity on your hard drive or mobile music device:

Country and Western
Originally aired 1 August, 2008
Our penultimate show, or maybe the one before, we played 90 minutes of pure country & western. One of our other joint musical loves, along with techno, it demonstrated what an alternate 'Dead and Alive' might have looked like. Featuring music by Porter Wagoner, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette and a whole lot more. Full playlist here.

Christmas Special
Originally aired 27 December 2005
We'd only been on the air for a month or so when Resonance offered us the opportunity to present a 3 hour Christmas special. The studio was empty, we had carte blanche between an extended 'night loop', so we brought a bunch of friends, including David McAlmont who sang some A Capella carols, and traipsed up the rickety stairs of Denmark Street, clanking bottles of Christmas cheer, played tunes and slurred for three hours. No playlist for this one sorry but I recall the Love Joys, Handel (of course), and Wagner.

Dada
Originally aired 11 April 2008
One of our more adventurous programs, our examination of the music of Dada and subsequent music inspired by the anti-movement celebrated the 2008 exhibition of Duchamp, Man Ray and Picabia at the Tate Modern. It featured regular contributor and Gallic guest Max Benezeth reading manifestos in French and correcting my appalling pronunciation, and Stuart Walton providing definitions and a brief critical analysis. Music by Francis Picabia, Erik Satie, Marcel Duchamp and many others. Full playlist here.

I've realised how easy, if time-consuming, this is so will post some more shows shortly. Comments and criticism encouraged - joshualine@yahoo.com.

MAX HEADROOM - WOLFGANG VOIGT

2011-02-21T11:41:00.002+11:00

At 7pm on 3 March I'll be presenting a one-hour program for Triple R's Max Headroom show, examining the "classical" music of Wolfgang Voigt.

Here's what Triple-R say:
"The unlikely fusion of classical music and techno finds its most articulate exponent in Cologne-based producer and Kompakt Records founder Wolfgang Voigt. In productions stretching back more than twenty years Voigt has obsessively explored the 'boofta boofta boofta', or “deep soul of German techno”, aligning this with earlier pillars of German cultural history – Schoenberg, Wagner, oompah and Schlager.

"Tune in for an hour of these bizarre experiments, and hear music from some of Voigt’s most celebrated projects GAS, ALL and Freiland, along with some of his classical influences."

It ought to be a hoot. 102.7FM on your Melbourne dial or online at the link on the right.

Dead and Alive is back on the air! Sporadically I'll be broadcasting live on Melbourne's Triple R 102.7FM, doing the Graveyard Shift, 2-6am. The debut program aired very early 12 June, and the music reflected this unseemly hour: dark, nocturnal sounds, from contemporary classical through electronics to Lynchian psychodrama. There were quite a few stylistic shifts / genre slips, but a unity of tone. I've been particularly impressed recently by the crazed sounds of Oneohtrix Point Never, truly disturbing. Here's the playlist:

OLD SHOWS

2010-05-20T16:40:00.000+10:00

Its been a long time, but I've finally worked out how to upload audio, so I've made a number of old shows available for download. I stumbled upon some of our earliest episodes, from 2006, broadcast prior to the development of this blog. Three of them are featured below.

Czech Music: http://www.sendspace.com/file/bc8hfv

Broadcast 24 February 2006, this episode examined music by Czech composers or inspired by Czechoslovakia / Czech Republic. I'd just returned from a winter holiday in Prague, so this was a way of giving back to that wonderful city. Features music by Smetana, Alois Haba (pictured above, at his quarter-tone piano), Dvorak, Martinu, Janacek, Max Brod, and Kurtag.

Opera post-Wozzeck: http://www.sendspace.com/file/p9j0p4

Broadcast 3 March 2006. Inspired by a London performance of Berg's opera we examine opera by Ligeti, Tippett, Neuwirth, Berio, Gershwin, Glass, Barry, and of course Berg.

New Releases: http://www.sendspace.com/file/tbxdv2

And... New Releases, broadcast 17 March 2006. Now no longer new, but no less valid, we played music from Beethoven, Sorabji (pictured above), Ekkehard Ehlers, Philip Jeck, Ryoji Ikeda and Tchaikovsky.

So grab these while they're... lukewarm. Thank you Peter Chambers who assisted me in this technical endeavour. I'll be posting more old episodes soon, emphasising those from the 'pre-blog' era. There may be some more radio activity soon too...

LIVE AT NONCLASSICAL

2008-06-27T00:52:00.000+10:00

Hey listeners,

Wednesday 2 July Dead and Alive play their farewell concert at Gabriel Prokofiev’s nonclassical club night, from 8pm at the Macbeth, 70 Hoxton Street N1 6LP (pictured above). Tim and I will be spinning the sort of noisy contemporary music we do for Resonance FM for most of the evening, supporting live performances by the Raven Quartet who’ll be reworking film scores. Time Out calls it one of the nights of the week http://www.timeout.com/london/clubs/events/765642/nonclassical.html and says the following:

“Time Out’s official favourite classically inclined club night returns to the Macbeth with yet another line-up that is radically different from the last. Tonight’s show is a mix of extremes which is sure to stimulate debate, and possibly violence, among its ever-multiplying and increasingly notable clientele. First up is a brand new outfit on the scene, The Raven Quartet, whose set is based around reworkings of modern film scores. Their source material includes work from the likes of Jon Brion, Brian Eno and Clint ‘I was in Pop Will Eat Itself’ Mansell. While the Raven players have been regulars at the club as punters, this is the first time they’ve performed there, so don’t blame us if it’s not hardcore classical enough for you. At the other end of the earth, it is with heavy heart and relieved ears that we report Resonance FM DJs Dead And Alive will be making their farewell Nonclassical appearance tonight. As usual, they’ll be playing a selection of contemporary compositional sounds alongside some live improv/remixing – a combination that’s as punishing yet rewarding as training with the Foreign Legion.”

It promises to be a night to remember, or for Tim and myself, probably to forget…

See you there!

DEAD AND ALIVE RETURNS!

2007-09-19T21:54:00.000+10:00

Dear Listeners,

Many apolgies for our delay in returning to the airwaves, but news has it that we'll be back, live, Friday September 28th at our old time of 9pm - 10.30pm. We'll be broadcasting from the new and improved Resonance FM studio at London Bridge, with new equipment, but we hope to keep our personal teething trouble to a minimum.

Our first program shall be a broad survey of music we've enjoyed over the past few months, from Wolfgang Rihm to Porter Wagoner. This season we'll be scheduling programs two weeks in advance, hoping to be even better prepared than last year. The following week's program on October 5th will look at music for films.

We look forward to another season of fine music, and hope to hear from you.

Josh and Tim.

WAR

Get in touch if you'd like to know more.

This Friday July 6 is our final show from Denmark Street. Lord knows we'll miss the place - the shabby cosiness, the decaying roof, the painfully narrow stairway, but most of all the charming squalor of next door's TPA bar. To celebrate we're playing music with bells on, literally. 90 minutes of bells. Tune in, and we'll be back live in August.

I'm back from a trip around the Netherlands and as it was so sublime I'm paying homage, like previous shows on France and the Czech Republic, by devoting (most of) this Friday's program to music from that glorious land, along with a few new releases. Tim will be away watching David McAlmont's final DJ spot, but I will be joined by occasional collaborator Max Benezeth of Les Sept Mondes for a messy alternative to our regular show. Hope you can join us. (Josh)

THE EARLY/CONTEMPORARY SHOW 11/8/06

2006-08-16T21:53:00.000+10:00

Dear Listeners Due to my complete incompetence - and 'cos Josh is away at the moment - I've lost the playlist for last Friday's show I did with Lizzie...sorry 'bout that...I shall re-construct one when I get a copy of the show to remind me what we played...This Friday I'm going to play lots of Waltzes and things that are in 3/4 time...the show is inspired by a Burl Ives track I've just come across so there'll be lots of different sorts of music, as usual, and Josh has left a couple of things for me to play so it won't just be J. Strauss and R. Strauss (although they will be there)...hope you can tune in, as they say...
