Phantom Circuit Mix for Exotic Pylon

You may well already be a regular listener to Exotic Pylon, Jonny Mugwump’s radio show which returns to ResonanceFM this Saturday. If not, you should be! A glance at a sample playlist should convince you that Jonny’s tastes and Phantom Circuit’s overlap enormously.

The first bit of good news is that a companion edition of Exotic Pylon launches on internet radio station FNOOB this Wednesday, and the second is that Phantom Circuit has the honour of contributing a special one-hour mix of music for the very first show! Jonny tells you more about the mix on his site, and don’t forget to listen to FNOOB this Wednesday.

Drop Dead Festival

The Second Radio Black Forest Festival in Birmingham yesterday was a lot of fun, and we will be reporting on that in a future edition of Phantom Circuit. Some of the team responsible for the festival are also working hard to make the Drop Dead Festival in Vilnius, Lithuania something special. See the official Web site for details of the music and other events on offer.

Some Silver Apples Snapshots

Over on the Phantom Circuit photo album you can see:-

Some Silver Apples Snapshots: the live set (some lo-res snaps) and

Some Silver Apples Snapshots: the live gear (a rather better shot of the live rig).

 

 

The photos were taken at the Silver Apples gig in Birmingham on 5th August. You can hear highlights and an interview with Simeon in Phantom Circuit #44.

The Second Radio Black Forest Festival

This Saturday sees The Second Radio Black Forest Festival of electroacoustic/psych/drone/folk in Birmingham (UK). If it turns out to be even half as varied as last year’s event then it should be well worth attending.

See RBF’s Myspace blog for details.

Phantom Circuit #44

Featuring an interview with Simeon of the hugely influential electronics + percussion band Silver Apples, formed in New York in 1967 and still carving out new sonic territory as a solo project. The interview is accompanied by some highlights of Silver Apples’ live set in Birmingham last week (5th August).

Of course, we also offer you some of the core new releases and some older picks plucked from the orchard of aural delights.

Embedded audio players

We have now found a (frankly, rather fiddly!) way to embed the MixCloud player in the main site: see for example the entry for Show #42, which has the player right above the playlist.

This change should be more convenient for listeners and we hope you will find it an improvement. Let us know! If the change is popular, we’ll make embedded players the standard for all editions.

Phantom Circuit #42

Featuring an interview with Charlemagne Palestine on the occasion of his performance of a new work for carillon in Bournville, Birmingham (UK) on 26th June. We also speak to two key people behind the event, Nigel Prince of the Ikon gallery and Rebecca Shatwell of AV Festival. Thanks to Robert Latham for providing excerpts from his official recording of the event.
