The avant-garde moves faster than light...
... travelling under the cloak of darkness, destination unknown. Nick Luscombe presents obscure tape music from Japan and a survival strategy for the new world.
... travelling under the cloak of darkness, destination unknown. Nick Luscombe presents a high-speed selection of forward-thinking music. There’s obscure tape music by composer Joji Yuasa, the piece consisting of echoing wooden bells in the woods, made from lowered marimba moderated by square wave. Andreas Spechtl offers a survival strategy for the new world in the form of motoric beats, catchy hooks and cutting lyrics. And after all that grit, American musician and producer Tycho offers a comforting voice to remind you not to get so lost in work.
Produced by Rebecca Gaskell
