Wow. It's been ages since I felt this good pressing play.
Although,
I don't do the radio show at the moment, or anymore, just had to send this out there.
Lo/ive instruments. Just the right amount of of detraction and cyniscism to make those sugary/ sunrise sounds as intellectual as they need be!
Hope I get to see those four throats doing their thing one day soon. Real byrds.

In the above podcast, we listen to the music of Nils Frahm and Laurie Anderson to mark the Sadler's Wells re-creation of Set and Reset/Reset,
1983 by the Candoco Dance Company. Candoco dance who include
fully-abled and different bodied dancers, restage this landmark
contemporary piece called Set and Reset by abstract, improvising
choreographer Trisha Brown. This ground-breaking production is performed
to a contagious score by renowned multi-media artist Laurie Anderson. Long Time no See originally performed with Richard Landry. Set, costumes and part of the lighting were also by artist Robert Rauschenberg.
This is accompanied by a series of dances set to existing tracks by German producer Nils Frahm.
The Set and Reset/Reset project examines the shifting nature of
choreography in relation to underlying structures that anchor a dance to
itself. The process of re-construction (as opposed to replication) is a
negotiation between freedom and limit – an exploration of possibility
as the dancers create a new version of Trisha Brown’s landmark
choreography.
The text and music for this opening and titular track on Free Lab Radio, is by Birds of Hell - who is a chap called Pete Murdoch - wearing the Trump mask too in the below video which only serves to sharpen the dark isolation the track conjures as we face powerlessly, a personal game play by people with the world in their hands.
"Played live, Let's Have The Windows Open digresses into semi-improvised lyrics and over the last few months Donald Trump has been the focus of these ad-libs."
