I hope you will let me soundtrack your summer with non-Colleen music for another half-hour with the fourth and last mix I made to accompany the release of my 7th album The Tunnel and the Clearing, this time at the kind invitation of Late Junction for BBC Radio 3! I guess it doesn’t get more eclectic than this set (yes, even by my standards…), and I talk briefly about the mix before the broadcast. The programme starts at midnight CET / 6 pm EST, my mix is midway through (slightly before 1 am CET / 7pm EST) and unlike my other mixes, this one will only be archived for a short time, so don’t sleep on it for too long ;-)

LATE JUNCTION MIX 

Susumu Yokota – Kodomotachi

Mbuti Pygmies of the Ituri Rainforest – Slit-Gong Signalling

Shun – Tablebeat (Response version) 

Backxwash – You Like My Body the Way It Is (Joni Void remix)

Maman Sanni – Arman Doley 

Abelardo Carbonó – Palenque

Igede of Nigeria – Ota-ubah instrumental

Stina Nordenstam – Purple Rain

The Innocence Mission – At Lake Maureen

The photo is one of my favorite stills from Luis Torroja’s documentary on The Tunnel and the Clearing, which you can see on Moog’s Youtube channel. To say that the RE-201 Space Echo changed my sonic world is an understatement and I still believe that the tape literally echoing and repeating the past in a loop was the perfect sound metaphor for a lot of what I was trying to achieve with this album, so this partial portrait-with-tape-loop  just made so much sense.
