There is nothing wrong with your radio set. Do not attempt to adjust the frequency. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the treble. We will control the bass. We can distort the sound to a grating blur. Or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you hear. We repeat, there is nothing wrong with your radio set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind, to the... o
01. Rafael González & Hal McGee - Officially Unofficial - Part 3 (5:59 - radio edit) Hal published the first issue of Electronic Cottage as a printed magazine in April 1989, following the demise of his Cause And Effect project with Debbie Jaffe. Hal on it's creation; "I set out to create Electronic Cottage specifically with the intention to re-dedicate myself to my ideals of serving the network, making connections etc." Quote taken from "Cassette Culture: Homemade Music And The Creative Spirit In The Pre-Internet Age" - an excellent book by Jerry Kranitz, published by Vinyl On Demand. This is a track from their collaborative album of the same name, recorded by Hal in Florida and Rafael in Tenerife, the full 15 minute version of which will appear on the subsequent compilation album. What for an add-on at the foot of the page in the next few weeks! https://halmcgee.bandcamp.com/music https://rafaelgonzlez1.bandcamp.com 02. Persephone - Mictlantecuhtli (3:36) Music from Mexico; "Complex replications of forms through the repeated application of a fixed set of rules. Digital Nonsense." That's what she says! https://soundcloud.com/user-451414046 03. Igor Amokian - Archaic Transport Circuit (5:37) Aka Chris Holland, based in Los Angeles, California; circuit-bender, electronic musician extraordinaire and a bit of a vinyl fanatic to boot... https://igoramokian.bandcamp.com/music 04. Craig Tanis - Fabrication Chief (2:54) Tennessee based experimentalist who mysteriously has his online musical repositories under the name of Kongbalong. His Bandcamp includes his 2020 collaborative album with Chris Phinney (also on the playlist as Mental Anguish), "Water In The Blood". Actually, I think it's gin in mine... https://soundcloud.com/kongbalong https://kongbalong.bandcamp.com 05. Strattanpossum - Weather Report (5:50) And it's over to Mr. Possum for the weather, somewhere in the USA, not sure where. Doesn't seem to be a Bandcamp account anywhere, but he does have a You Tube channel. "I put my films together without reading the instructions." He warns. But he doesn't warn you about the very loud auto-play video... https://www.youtube.com/user/strattanpossum 06. Fiver’s Stereo - Systematic Entropy (2:37) Florida based Jay Decosta Peele on Moog DFAM, Moog Subhharmonicon, Ensoniq TS-10 and vocals. Also known as Shatter Wax, who describes himself as an artist, producer, turntablist/DJ. musician, singer & noise maker. Is turntablist a real word? It's okay, I make up words too... https://shatterwax.bandcamp.com 07. KR Seward - Eee See (5:06) Made with Wiisp Synth, Audio Nodes, Pixelang, feedback, etc by the "Ex-songmaker turned noisemaker (eh, go figure)" based in Masa... Masso... Massuch... I know the Bee Gees sang about this one... Massochew... Masachusits... Massa... oh, bugger this... the USA. 08. Girls On Fire - Monday Morning Come On (3:00) Hal's Girl Fireday (see what I did there?), the lady with ears of iron; legend has it she survived the full 35 minutes of our "RFA" track through headphones! Even I haven't done that and I'm responsible for recording it. Leslie Singer, we salute you! http://www.haltapes.com/girls-on-fire.html 09. Lumen K - Farfadelle (2:58) Aka Trevor Luke, based in Gainesville, Florida, so gather he must be one of Hal's neighbours, and probably one who doesn't bang on the ceiling during his Apartment Music sessions. Ooh, looks like he worked at the University Of Pennsylvania. We know their phone number, Glenn Miller told us... https://soundcloud.com/lumen-kishkumen https://lumenkishkumen1.bandcamp.com/music 10. Mental Anguish - Conflicted Desires (6:00 - radio edit) The mighty Chris Phinney of Harsh Reality Music fame. Now, where's he from again? Help me, information, oh yeah, it's Memphis, Tennessee. There's a longer version of this track on the compilation album, watch the skies... https://harshrealitymusic.bandcamp.com 11. Jeremiah Paddock - Some Yesterday - Version 1 (2:14) Back to Florida again, St. Petersburg, not Gainesville, not everyone lives next door to Hal McGee, and the man behind Earth Machine... https://earthmachinemusic.bandcamp.com/music 12. Aversion To Reality - Did Anything Happen (2:19) Canada, which is NOT in the USA (it's bigger, which pisses them off!), that's where Bill Northcott is based and where he makes these interesting noises... https://aversiontoreality.bandcamp.com 13. Cacophony '33' - Commanded In Scripture (4:52) And the sole representative of the UK on the show this month is Kev Kettle, who is over the other side of the country in Lincoln. Kev says he started via the 'local band scene' in the late 70's (didn't we all?), then retired to his bedroom with some gadgets in the early 80's, and has been there ever since... https://cacophony331.bandcamp.com 00. Mick & His Magic Bullet - No Room, The Show Was Over Subscribed! (0:00) On the bright side, Lord Litter interviewed me for Electronic Cottage in September 2018, which you might enjoy a read of. It's probably the most in depth interview I've ever given (but then Litter is an old and dear friend), plenty of personal insights, along with much about the golden age of cassette culture.
