In the second half of the show, Cucina Povera engages with the broad palette of sounds found around her. This mix focuses largely on sounds rather than composed music, but the musical inspiration that Cucina Povera finds in the city’s droning bells, natural ambiance and repetitive bird song melodies is pronounced.

"An inexplicable draw, a love affair that can’t end, a refusal. Compounded layers, disharmony, the occasional synchronicity that could be mistaken for meaning. Trying to “block it out” but efforts are futile; a bleeding. Pleasure in discord, fear. Joy when looking out the window." – Chantal Michelle

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

New music with The Wire Magazine.

For this fourth episode of his collected recordings he presents 5 works:

• (Fail We May) Sail We Must' (2013)

This work includes two recordings of different rehearsal sessions in the halls of a music school. The musicians in the recordings practice their pieces and repeat them over and over again. Their perseverance encourages listeners to understand failure as a necessary step in the process of growth. There's no mistake you can't learn from...

• 'I Have Always Wanted To Be In A Band' (2019)

This work is a series of recordings of Davide drumming in his room when he was 12 years old. The work contains comments made by Davide’s mum recorded while she was listening to the recordings 25 years later.

• 'This Is My House' (2009)

This work consists of the voice of a little boy taking the listener on a tour of his house. It aims to communicate everyone’s basic need to have a place containing their own memories and affections.

• 'This Kind of Hugs' (2005)

This is a musical dedication by an 8 year old boy to his girlfriend, in the form of two short and sweet compositions, like cuddling in bed and falling asleep.

• 'Neighbours' (2009)

This work consists of Davide singing along with the music of a band rehearsing next door. Rather than ask them to stop he decided to get involved and become a secret member of the band. In this case negotiation was more enjoyable than arguing!

In the second portion of the show, Ikea Customer Service explores what Oslo has meant to them since moving to the capital mid-pandemic.

In their own words: "This is a very simple solipsistic mix in the end; a mix of field recordings from long pram walks, bus rides and lullabies, some songs I’ve written to stay sane, and some songs of others that have kept us afloat. And lots of our daughter being a massive beacon of light."

In this first episode Mello Gold:

In 1967, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera approached the Krofft Brothers to design costumes for a television show which would feature animated and live-action segments, with the whole show hosted by a bubblegum pop group of anthropomorphic characters, played by actors in fleecy costumes similar to later Sid and Marty Krofft characters such as H.R. Pufnstuf.
The Banana Splits Adventure Hour premiered on NBC on September 7, 1968.

Each show represented a meeting of the Banana Splits Club, and the wraparounds featured the adventures of the club members, who doubled as a musical quartet, meant to be reminiscent of the Beatles and the Monkees.
Unlike their human predecessors, however, the Banana Splits were bizarre, anthropomorphic animals: rhythm guitarist Drooper was a lion, lead guitarist Fleegle was a dog, keyboardist Snorky was an elephant, and drummer Bingo was a monkey.

The Banana Splits' bubblegum pop rock 'n' roll was provided by studio professionals, including Joey Levine (I Enjoy Being a Boy, It's a Good Day for a Parade), Al Kooper , Barry White (Doin' the Banana Split),and Jimmy Radcliffe provided his song (I'm Gonna Find a Cave).

Additional material features the Micro Ventures of Professor Carter and his two teenage kids, Mike and Jill, who use a shrinking machine to shrink themselves and their dune buggy to miniature size, to explore and experience the world from the perspective of an insect.
Professor Carter, Mike, and Jill change to micro-size to observe an ant colony ...Groovy!
