Solid Steel in association with Serato (9th October) Iranian producer Ash Koosha is our guest in Hour 1, who gained a lot of attention from Pitchfork following his debit album GUUD released earlier this year. After being jailed in 2007 for putting on concerts in Iran, he moved to London and now produces beautiful and intricate electronic music and we're delighted to have a mix from him this week. He told us;

"The 60 minutes i put togher for Solid Steel is focused on the idea of Human vs Machine and the Machine as a Bio-mechanical entity, in other words the future "us". 
The idea of a Transhumanist world inspired me to mix from folky Bulgarian choir to the "Living-Machine" sounds of Leila Arab and Brood Ma. The engagement of classical music with the future of sound.
Putting the two poles together resulted in a new sonic spectrum where the value of frequency is above source of sound."

Ryuichi Sakamoto 坂本龍一 Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence [live cover]

This was testing out a Pd patch in a coffee shop, sampling and doing process-driven delay/looping changes.  The relationship between changes in duration and pitch are usually 2/5 or 1/10 or something.  The process is like this: take a slice, stretch it out, take a slice, stretch it out, repeat slice, stretch, take a slice... etc....

In a Landscape (1948) performed by Yundu Wang, a student of Hung-Kuan Chen and Vivian Hornik Weilerstein

Kate Moore-The Body Is An Ear

I usually practice piano everyday I sit and play different composers. The Goldberg Variations is one of my favorite works in piano literature. It is so perfect it is freighting.
While I was playing them I started changing them and then it became something totally new. I composed these variations in a span of 5 hours. There are a total of 15 variations which I decided to performed them differently in two studios with two different pianos. The best pianos were used for this recording. Fazioli for the dreamy interpretation and a Bossendorfer for the baroque interpretation. There are a total of 30 pieces on the CD and we are all so happy with the results. The music is coming out any day know and I will post the link once is released.

The Goldberg Variations Recomposed (Bach/Galatis) Available now.
