You Are Hear: New Live Music Sessions and Specials - From the Outer Edges Folgen

Nalle, Juana Molia and Tunng live Green Man Festival Special Podcast August 2006 This show brings together some highlights from this year's Green Man festival, held in the dramatically beautiful surrounds of the Brecon Beacons in late August. For the last four years the festival has grown in size, bringing together a diverse selection of artists all influenced in some way by folk and roots music, from the percussive and hypnotic electronics of Steve Reid and Keiran Hebden to the sublime folk / blues explorations of folk-revival legends Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, with countless acoustic singer-songwriters. www.youarehear.co.uk http://www.myspace.com/youarehear For this show, we have chosen to present highlights from the live sets of Nalle, Juana Molina and Tunng. Glasgow's Nalle comprise former members of the extended folk-improv-drone-jazz outfit Scatter, continuing and focussing many of the collective's preoccupations: drawing on traditional folksong, psychedelic minimalism, in a spirit of playful experimentation and structural freedom. The voice of Hanne, at once soothing and astringent, meshes with shruti box drones, wooden and straw percussion, viola, bouzouki, oud and other instruments yet more exotic to create a beautifully haunting and uncanny atmosphere. www.nalle.co.uk www.pickled-egg.co.uk/nalle Juana Molina, an extraordinary singer-songwriter from Buenos Aires, whose graceful and hypnotic music, flows from her acoustic guitar, askew live electronics and her mesmerising voice. Formerly a celebrated TV comic in her native Argentina, she has released several albums since 1996, three of which have been released on Domino Records in the UK, the most recent being 'Son' from which much of her Green Man set was taken. www.juanamolina.com www.myspace.com/juanamolina Tunng play a mesmerising mix of folk-influenced acoustic music and busy electronica, overlaying electronic crackles, vocal harmonies, bewitching mantras and synthetic rhythms. Their two albums on Static Caravan and their prolific touring schedule have gathered them a substantial following. www.tunng.co.uk www.myspace.com/thisistunng Podcast of the week Time Out London!!

Sonar Special feat Tucker, Schnider TM, Snr Coconut, June 2006 Magz Hall brings www.youarehear.co.uk brings you a new podcast friendly You Are Hear show featuring highlights from the Sonar Festival in Barclelona featuring live sets from: www.youarehear.co.uk Tucker The man behind "Electoon Wizard" continues to plough his own original furrow - old school hip-hop, with a touch of humour on the organ keyboard and a pile of toy instruments. Part jazz, part funk, part Martian. With Boney M covers thrown in. http://www.oddjob.jp/ The Modified Toy Orchestra If you thought every instrument possible had been invented, think again. Here is Brian Duffy to make you change your mind. The man behind Warm Circuit Records has been adapting toys for years to make them into musical objects that are as entertaining as they are original. Jake This North American's approach to hip-hop is most unusual. The man behind the famous "Jack the Rapper" brings together a mass of influences, styles and benchmarks (including a version of the Buzzcocks), to make his lyrics into a true musical feast that is not suitable for purists. http://www.jakelovesyou.com/ Senior Coconut Uwe Shmidt's maverick spirit and a fascination for Latin music has led to him playing a key role in the history of electronic music. The latest is "Yellow Fever!" a tribute to the legendary Yellow Magic Orchestra, in an electronic cumbia, bolero and cha-cha-cha style. Pure magic. http://www.essayrecordings.com/ Schneider TM Dirk Dresselhaus is very comfortable on the fine line separating indie from electronica. “Škoda Mluvit”, his latest release on City Slang, is in the same vein, despite his description of it as indie-rock ragga. A melange of sounds which mixes guitar arrangements with beats and breaks with pop and glitch as if they were predestined to be together. http://www.schneidertm.net/ and Marina Yangisawa Marina Yanagisawa's "Howlin" is a unique musical instrument largely inspired by the legendary Theremin, one of the oldest electronic instruments. This device built from acrylic pipes and microphones makes howling sounds, which are normally thought unpleasant and impossible to control, into a pleasant musical experience.
