Nicolas Collins

Geek guru Nicolas Collins visits the UK for an electronics workshop and a performance at Gasworks Gallery On Fri Dec 16th.

We'll be playing a scaled-down version of the Resonance Radio Orchestra some radiophonic pieces and more. Ed Baxter hosts.

The installation Felix Machines by the very young Felix, is a sight to behold. Think of lavish Bond Street Christmas windows mixed crossed with the mature section of Toys r Us and you may have an idea of the musical magic of this mechanical piece.

The Resonance Radio Orchestra have played venues such as the Camden Roundhouse with such as Alistair Mcgowan of Spitting Image (now Heathrow) fame, Lembit Opek and Veryan Weston, Otomo Yoshihide, Paul May and more.

Sound Art Radio, Devon

Welcome to a new electronica show on Sound Art Radio in Devon 102.5fm from 27th January. It's Tuesdays fortnightly 3-4pm and later some will be podcast, maybe re-broadcast elsewhere.

I'm sure I gave it a title but they've called it Fari Bradley, how funny.

Regardless, it's an opportunity to be independent with more music based radio, as Six Pillars to Persia is mostly speech radio. I'll be looking at the gentler side of electronica,as I'm not that much into noise (check Nigel Noise if you've never heard any) and it is mostly boys with boys toys.

However we will be speaking to boys as well, and varying from playlist shows to one hour soundscapes.
