This is the 11/6 performance of my piece Lay Down Your Burden, written for Oerknal!. They played it beautifully and with great sensitivity. The Gemak performance space, ultra-resonant, was especially good for this piece. Here's the Oerknal! website: http://www.oerknal.org/#!about-us/cjg9 

Lay Down Your Burden (2015)

I didn't spend much (any?) time on arrangement. The part after the buildup captures something important, but I'm not sure what.

Meat Beat Manifesto (a band hardly needing an introduction) offer a stellar slab of fried sounds. Side A, "Lovefingers," is a Silver Apples cover, which opens with a clip of a woman retelling a story of her husband (I think) claiming he'd been attacked by a spaceship. This leads perfectly into a catchy, psychedelic and mutated groove, bringing to mind early Faust. This comparison is hammered home when a blast of oscillators and fuzzy filters splatter themselves across the rest of the grooves. Side B follows a similar pattern with "Radio Free Republic." Starting with a voice sample (presumably from a b-movie), it moves into a heavily rhythm-centric pattern which slowly develops over a shifting pallette of synthesizer bleeps and bloops. - Dick Baldwin, FakeJazz

Where in the past Jack Dangers was the man you seek out for some pre-Big Beat busy prehistoric electronics and bollock kicking breaks here we find him at his monitor a little more relaxed. Still peppering his tracks with samples, he moves further into a Hip-Hop Techno area on "Radio Free Republic" where aggression and pace are not the norm. More interestingly is the Silver Apples cover on the A side which is a short blast of harsh electronic pop ending prematurely in short wave radio abuse. - Scott McKeating, Stylus

We have another sexy Brainwashed 7" in this week. This one is by Meat Beat Manifesto and it's on super thick weapon stylee grey vinyl. You know someone ordered a record this week and referred to it as a plate. I've never had that happen to me before but it did amuse me. Holding this sturdy little fella makes me realise if you didn't like the music you could tape up the hole in the middle and use it as some kind of stupid dining service. However if you did that it would be criminal cos here we have a totally cool slab of Jack Dangers instrumental hip hop infused brilliance which doesn't sound too unlike Boards of Canada to be honest. And there's a cracking Silver Apples cover of Lovefingers on the B side. This be my single of the week... - Norman Records

Meat Beat Manifesto, "Radio Free Republic"

Deconstructed dance music. Deconstructed Bell tones. Drone with a purpose- to induce into a lovely trance. Inspired by Reich, Glass, Skinny Puppy. But sounding like none of the above.

Deconstructed Bells In E

A classical/ electronic song that is additive, atmospheric, bombastic and trance-inducing. This particular song is inspired by Steve Reich, Philip Glass and epic/emotional movie soundtracks, and contains an atmospheric sample from the experimental works of my old band The Formless Form, credit specifically going to the creative mad genius, Wade Hampton.

For the 25th Anniversary slot in Hour 2, it's a pleasure to welcome Peter Serafinowicz to Solid Steel. Actor, comedian, the voice to Darth Maul in Star Wars, has his own TV show, co-wrote the brilliant Look Around You,  video director, appeared in Spaced amongst many others .............. But for us, it's all about his impeccable taste in music. As a listener to Solid Steel and a massive fan of Boards of Canada, we invited Peter to share a selection of music to coincide with the release of 'Tomorrows Harvest'. With tracks from Aphex Twin, Boom Bip, Brian Eno, Samiyam, Actress, 80's Canadian TV, Benge and of course Boards of Canada, plus his own music from Look Around You as Gelg, sit back and enjoy a stroll through this BoC inspired mix.
