This Week's Free Lab Radio - For All the Sea the Land Remains

For All the Sea the Land Remains is a 44 minute long sound piece from Simon Coates.  The bespoke work for Free Lab Radio features field recordings from Dubai and Fujairah - both in the United Arab Emirates - Istanbul, Bangkok and Vientiane in Laos.

In addition to employing field recordings for this piece, Coates plays harmonica, keyboards and guitar alongside digitally-manufactured acousmatic sounds. For All the Sea the Land Remains samples the songs 'Shagufa' by Geeta Dutt (1953), 'Hum Aur Tum Aur Ye Khushi' by Surendra (from the 1940 film 'Alibaba') and 'Aahen Na Bharin Shikve Na Kiye' by Zeenat (1945). Another film that is samples is Parviz Kimiavi's 1970s film 'Oh, Protector of the Gazelle'. 

The English text at the start is read by UK performance artist Caroline Smith, and was written by Simon Coates.  The Arabic text towards the end is read by Sara Al Haddad and is a line from Jonny Town Mouse by Beatrix Potter...with vocal contributions by Denise Coates.

Free Lab Radio Podcast: Dance is a Neuroscience

A mix by Fari B of some of the most sonically intriguing dance tunes in this year's playlist, plus new Nov-Dec releases. Moving through genres and sub-genres from 8-bit to nu-disco to Neurostep, it's a selection to end 2015.

Dance is a marriage of the representational capacity of language and the rhythmicity of music. Even though dance is a fundamental form of human expression, neuroscientists have given it relatively little consideration. The past decade, however, researchers have conducted the first brain-imaging studies of both amateur and professional dancers. These investigations address such questions as:
How do dancers navigate though space?
How do they pace their steps?
How do people learn complex series of patterned movements?

Playlist:

Streaming online & broadcasting on air on 104.4FM, at 11-midnight GMT (3-4am GST).

"Mistrust the White House, come and get your fix"

Sometimes only heavy metal guitars will say it.

Sometime only metal guitars can say it.

Oh little sicky, seems to be the pain?
Got all these herbs, don't mean a f**ing thing
I am the little witch, with the magick tricks
Mistrust the white house, come and get your fix

It's not about the numbers, what you feel is real
Crystals, rays of light, the taste of orange peel...
Open the mind, change the mind, that's how we achieve
Can't hurt to try right?
It's what I believe!

Witch doctor...

I taste the green when you come here and complain
I give you cleanliness, while I make it rain
I'm a corpse eating vulture, who tells you how to feel
Don't trust the white coats, I'll make you a better deal

Put a needle in the cheek so turn the other one
Come back tomorrow, because we'll never get it done
Open the mind, change the mind, that's how we achieve!
Can't hurt to try right?
It's what I believe!
