Cardboard Lamb Presents is a radio show that takes an idea, a feeling, or a visual theme as its compass and assembles layers of music, film clips, and poetry together to create a sonic home for these ideas to rest in. It does not aim to please, but to lull, to comfort, and to transport somewhere very far away. It is ideally listened to alone. In bed, on a foggy night, whilst cycling, or accompanied by a strong cup of coffee.

Episode 2 centers around the feeling of winter in a city made of glass. Huge gusts of wind that soar through corridors between skyscrapers. Waking up in the middle of the night to a storm battering your windows, rain bearing down and wiping the pavement clean. The emptiness of the air the morning after.

It channels the ambiguity and clandestine warmth that accompanies the season: the solitude of the shelter you have created for yourself. Walking through the streets alone; returning to the warm indoors to lie in bed with a loved one.

This mix is more delicate than the last, and includes more contemporary and local music. There’s music released on Elena Colombi’s label Osàre! Editions, music by the incredible Dim Garden, Caline with C on Traumgarten, and some Knekelhuis and Music from Memory. This is mixed in with 90’s IDM, experimental classical composition, Argentinian prog, sounds from the Cosey Fanni Tutti + Genesis P Orridge stratosphere, and excerpts from films by Agnès Varda and Robert Bresson.
