Tonights programme starts with tracks from the new album by Arv & Miljö. "Himmelsvind" is the first release on Swedish label Discreet Music. Discreet Music is also a shop in downtown Gothernberg. Arv & Miljö is the solo project of Matthias Andersson. Matthias also runs the label I Deischi del Barone and makes noises in Neutral / Heinz Hopf and Enhet För Fri Musik. "Melancholia" was originally released in 1986 on the album "The Insect Musicians". This was Graeme Revell's first solo LP whilst still being a member of S.P.K. (They disbanded in 1988). The version here is from the 1994 compilation CD "Musique Brut Collection" that combines this LP and tracks from the compilation album "Necropolis, Amphibians & Reptiles (The Music Of Adolf Wölfli). I bought this CD from Rough Trade Records when it was in Neal's Yard, London from the money I was paid from appearing on the TV quiz programme "Fifteen To One". Last year Cold Spring Records reissued the 'classic' S.P.K. LP "Zamia Lehmanni - Songs Of Byzantine Flowers" with added sleeve notes by Graeme. Komare are Dominic Goodman and Pete Blundell. A London based side project from the band Mosquitos. I played Side A of this LP last month ... Andrea Borghi is a member of Italian sound artists VipCranco. Andrea has just released a cassette with fellow Italian experimentalist musicians Giancomo Sales and Paolo Sanna. The result is "MOT". The cassette is on the TSS label and limited to 100 copies only.
NostrilFlair is the new project from Chandor Glöomy and Carl Anderson. Chandor's noise is no stranger to MuhMur Radio through his releases with Hairs Abyss and Cromlech Shadow. Carl also releases as Nil By Nose and used to be one half of Basic Concept, the No Noise/Hip Hop Experimentalists with Simon Morris. Carl also appears on The Ceramic Hobs album "Oz Oz Alice". The two pieces here are available via the Coma Kultur Bandcamp site, they appear on a split CDR with UK project Egone. https://comakultur.bandcamp.com/album/n-o-s-t-r-i-l-f-l-a-i-r-e-g-o-n-e
A few programmes ago I decided to play tracks by bands with numbers in their names and that made me dig out the 48 Chairs single "Snap It Around" on the Absurd Records label. Delving further I find out that Cache Cache Records have reissued the first (and only) 48 Chairs album, and after the fine work they did with Gerry & The Holograms back in 2017 I had to grab a copy. "You Were Never There" is from the 48 Chairs LP "70% Paranoid" and features the great sax work of Lol Coxhill. This programme's "On This Day" feature includes The Passions and Colin Newman. Two great singles from 1980. It also celebrates The Final Academy event that took place at the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton (London) in 1982.
The three day event saw performances from Psychic TV, Last Few Days, William S. Burroughs, John Giorno, Jeff Nuttal, Cabaret Voltaire and 23 Skidoo amongst others. Hamburg based sound artist Thomas Beck has joined Swiss noise maker Chris Sigdell (AKA BºTong) and German noise band Czepoks to create the Radio Gagarin Allsound Orchestra and release an album of improvised noise on Thomas's own Wachsender Prozess label. The final track is by Hairs Abyss and is from an upcoming release on Steep Gloss.
