MAX HEADROOM - WOLFGANG VOIGT

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.

GRAVEYARD

I'll be broadcasting on Triple R in the wee small hours of Tuesday 31 August from 2-6am, that's 6pm Monday 30 August for Londoners. It will be another four hours of contemporary classical, electronics and random ephemera. In particular I'll be playing extracts from Hermann Nitsch's recently released 9th Symphony - harrowing stuff, computer piano music from Conlon Nancarrow and Wolfgang Voigt, plus more hauntology, hypnagogia and psychodrama. Catch it in Melbourne 102.7FM or internationally at http://www.rrr.org.au/programs/streaming/

The next graveyard is Saturday 11 September - a big date, let's make it special.

GRAVEYARD SHIFT

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.

OLD SHOWS

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...

ALIVE!

Hi all,

LIVE AT NONCLASSICAL

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!
