Crow Versus Crow presents Posset's 'Beast Tapes of 2015' Beetmix for The Crow Versus Crow Radio Show


Continuing on the annual 'Beast Tapes' series, Posset (Chocolate Monk, No Basement Is Deep Enough, Singing |Knives, Crow Versus Crow) has put together a 'beetmix' of sounds culled from his favourite cassette releases of 2015.

In the words of the Eternal Master Himself,

'The working method was totally different this time. All composed on 2 track with the emphasis on sounds connecting from right to left rather than layered on top of each other (like I've done before). The snippets are shorter than normal too...more like breaths than anything. If that makes any sense? All the tapes came into my orbit or were released in 2015. There's a distinct lean towards voices rather than skronk...but I guess that's where my heads been at.'

Cassette releases included in the beetmix include:

Max Bentley - Red, Green,Blue (Vitrine)
Human Heads - Triggers (Tranzprocesz)
Robert Ridley Shackleton - The Cardboard Prince (Hissing Frames)
Duncan Harrison - Others Delete God (Reckno)
Unknown Artist - Alright Duckie (Hideous Replica)
Sindre Bjerga - Attractive Amplification (Tutore Burlato)
Tom White - Reconstruction (Alien Passengers)
Fritz Welch - Nothing to Offer (Singing Knives)
Ali Robertson - The Other Week (Giant Tank)
Smashed Cucumber - First Time in Space (SPAM)
Lovely Honkey - Sharp Intake of Breath (Tutore Burlato)
Acrid Lactations - Drizzling Quids a' Crepuscle (Total Vermin)
F.Ampism - The Ancient Wing (Ikuisuus)
Shareholder - Jimmy Shan (Know This)
Depletion - Null Data (Fairfax Industries)
Cannonbone - Live at the Old Police House (No Label)
G.J. de Rook - A & Bla (No Basement is Deep Enough)

This mix originally featured in episode #99 on the Crow Versus Crow Radio Show, which originally aired on Sunday 13th March 2016.

Enjoy!

Crow Versus Crow Presents Neil Campbell's 'Domestic Mix for The Crow Versus Crow Radio Show'


Originally broadcast as part of episode #99 of the Crow Versus Crow Radio Show (13th March 2016), Neil Campbell (Vibracathedral Orchestra, Astral Social Club...) presents,

'Seven hours of minidisk recordings of my everyday domestic listening to music, condensed down to half an hour. Sometimes sitting on my arse, more often cooking, cleaning, running around, adding general clatter/chatter to the recordings. Microphone placement and recording levels inconsistent and semi-random throughout. Special collage filter applied to remove most of what has been recorded and position the remaining sounds to move slowly around the stereo spectrum. Live electronics added in response to the collage. Artists featured (that I can recognise/remember): Maurizio Bianchi, Blood Stereo, David Bowie, Andrew Chalk, Gloria Coates, Chvrches, Kevin Drumm, Luke Fowler and Richard Youngs, Vikki Jackman, Joy Division, Olivier Messiaen, Paraselene, Iggy Pop, Ramleh, Erik Satie, Klaus Schulze, Studio Sardena, David Tudor and John Cage, Iannis Xenakis, my own recordings and many random sections of BBC Radio 3.'

Thank you so much to Neil for taking the time and care to make such an interesting, thought-provoking work for the show. Enjoy!
