BOY: This Radio Play, produced by Aidan Matthews was broadcast in 2003 on RTE Sunday Playhouse. It features John Kavanagh as Commisar Beria. This fictionalised story, partly dream-state, features the interaction between Theremin and its inventor, Leon Theremin, and the son of a high ranking Soviet official. The play was short listed for a Prix Europa in 2014, which that year was held in Berlin. The play prompted a lively discussion in the forum.

NOTE: I see that the audio was cropped prematurely ten seconds before the end, This is the final speech of the Boy,

Ah, but it is slow. It is an immense effort to budge my heavy feet. And then I am there. His hair is white, white as the stars. The fixed smile. He pulls off his gloves. He lifts his smoky goggles. He is looking at me. I cannot move my concrete feet. The eyes are… Trout eyes… I can see right through them, into his head. Lights twinkle there, a distant beacon. A raised right arm. Fingers tremble in the air. I am off the ground. I am flying. I toggle left, right, but I can’t navigate. I am pulled in, towards the beacon. It shines steadily now, a bright star. 
The ground, the forest, flies along below and behind me. Ahead of us the white disk - rapidly increasing in size - throws shadows. In the old place, every shadow of every gravel stone shrinks; the darkness being banished. The colours of the sky! Vivid grey/purple above us. The eastern sky is white. White light falls on the trees. It penetrates the thicket, even the forest lairs. The birds burn. All is turning into light. The audience holds its breath. We enter the sun. No pain, how comical. Just the pull… The power, of the sun…

THE END.

BLURT - Ted Milton (chant, saxophone), Steve Eagles (guitare), David Aylward (batterie)
Le groupe Blurt est intimement lié à la personnalité charismatique de son fondateur, l’artiste Ted Milton, saxophoniste, poète, originalement marionnettiste. Créé en 1979 sous la forme d’un trio, Blurt s’est très vite taillé une place à part dans le bouillonnement britannique des années punk, un espace plus « arty », moins brutal (bien que furieusement électrique et minimaliste), plus poétique, flirtant avec le dadaïsme. De même que quelques autres groupes de cette époque, après la décantation des modes successives, Blurt a connu un regain d’intérêt ces dernières années, redécouvert par une nouvelle génération, affirmant ainsi la rémanence de sa haute valeur artistique.

GOZ OF KERMEUR - Andreas Valvini : batterie / Yves Charmillot : Guitare / Adrien kessler : Doublebass Voice. Still my songs,the music is organic and with the energy and the particular shape all this takes, we take most of the audiences in our psychadelic turbulence. We are three in front. Goz of Kermeur was explosive, intimate, dangerous, sweet and violent, powerfull and fragile, full of humor but completely naive. 150 concerts through europe, east europe new york and Canada, 3 albums : Goz of Kermeur (1992) Irondelles (1993) Mythoman (1996-97). Touring with the Young Gods, and Dominique A, and shared the stage with many other musicians. Such as John Zorn Masada, Napalm Death, Legendary Pink Dots, Ornette Coleman, joe baron, The Ex, New model Army... Last tour in 2000. Yves Charmillot dies of cancer in september 2001. With him the band. Best memories to our old friend…

Jesca Hoop DEEPER DEVASTATION

The Valley of Yessiree - I'm The Woods

A l’occasion de la réception du boss du label @mannequin-label au Iboat le 29 avril, ce dernier, Alessandro Adriani, nous a enregistré une sélection de morceaux obscures retraçant plusieurs décennies de musiques froides et synthétiques. Son label, réputé pour ses rééditions de trésors industriels/cold/synth/minimal wave (Martial Canterel, The Actor, Bourbonese Qualk, The Neon Judgement …), fait également office de défricheurs de talents; Fallbeill, Maoupa Mazzocchetti, JASSS, An-I, Musumeci ou encore notre deuxième invité, December, ont eu l’occasion de voir leur musique sortie sur le label italien. On est donc très heureux de recevoir un des principaux activiste de cette nouvelle vague métallique pour la première fois à l’iboat.

Basement Tapes #14 - Alessandro Adriani (Mannequin Records)

Emily Luce Senior Recital 12-9-17

There are seven that pull the thread (W.B. Yeats)

Mannequin is really proud to  announce the forthcoming brand new 12'' from Tropic of Cancer, one the most important realities in the modern post-punk and darkwave scene.
 
Essentially the solo project of LA-based Camella Lobo, with contributions from John Mendez (aka Sandwell District’s Silent Servant) and Taylor Burch (DVA Damas) and after two sold-out releases on labels Blackest Ever Black and Downwards, Tropic Of Cancer have stoked their slow burning reputation into the makings of what isbeing referred to as a 'modern classic.' 

Though Tropic Of Cancer's sound has been called gothic, cold wave and drone pop, the band's take on their influences isanything but nostalgic. Lobo and Mendez have managed to imbue their own elusive gaze and craft a strangely beautiful and intoxicating sound in the wake of theirpredecessors.
 
The three tracks on this new 12'' take us gently by the hand into a slowed-down opium dream - it's like watching the desert from the same stark corners where Lyciastood many years ago.
 
This EP gathers the primal thrust of their bleak Post-Punk (think about Cultural Decay shaking hands with Section 25 in their psychedelic/buddhist years) and Minimal Wave aesthetics with this entirely new dimension in the music of TOC – heartfelt and deep. 

Cold waves have never been so warm.

Tracklisting:
 
A - The One Left
B1 - Beneath The Light
B2 - It's All Come Undone

12'' EP Version: Limited edition of 500 copies
 
DIGITAL Version: Distribution through The Orchard in the most important digital stores (iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, Nokia, Spotify and many others).

Tropic Of Cancer - The One Left

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people 
living for today

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do 
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people 
living life in peace
ooooh

You may say I’m a dreamer
I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world 
will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people 
sharing all the world
yeahhh

You may say I’m a dreamer
I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world 
will be as one
