Dronica meets event curators, creative directors and labels owners in 2021.

In this episode, Dronica meets Rick Vayo, co-founder and curator of Inveterate, an independent label based in London and founded by Tapefeed.

Rick Vayo is 1/2 of Tapefeed who started the solo project to release music material with no sonic boundaries in order to be able to experiment with sound further by blending genres and giving voice to all his different musical influences.

With Inveterate they will be focusing on releasing and supporting artists that share their sonic views and that can help them shape the label sound further with the aim of pushing the boundaries of techno by inviting producers to break the rules, to think outside the box, pushing creativity, and thus finding new and unexpected elements. Ultimately, they want to bring freshness and novelty to this genre and to their scene.

Lament for the Old Clock by Harvey Young tells the story of an 18th-century agricultural worker plunged into the vicious new frontier of industrial capitalism who must leave his simple agrarian existence behind and submit to the callous and dehumanising demands of the factory floor.

The piece documents the change in temporality from the feudal notion of cyclical, reverential time to the concept of future-oriented progress that defined the beginning of the industrial revolution. Through extended vocal techniques, found instruments and granulation, Lament for the Old Clock explores this transient yet profound period of temporal and spiritual upheaval.

Harvey Young is a composer, sound artist and writer whose practice centres on temporality, psychogeography and transient structures of political economy. He uses extended vocal techniques, field recordings and found instruments to create acousmatic and electroacoustic works.

Occasional radiophonic works by students of the BA and MA Sound Arts and Design courses at the London College of Communication, UAL.

Exploration #1 for Two Radios by Kit Beaufoy is the discovery of a beast. A beast that lurks in the electromagnetic waters. A creature formed from the familiar sounds of analogue radio that is awoken by the turning of a dial sending ripples across the radio waves.

Over the course of the piece, the listener is hunted down through the radio, chased by a beast that is not confined to a single frequency and exists all around, silently stalking, watching, waiting until it is illumined by your receiver.

Kit Beaufoy is a London-based artist who works with a series of transmitters and receivers, composing within the radio, in an attempt to reanimate and reframe analogue radio listening in the 21st century.

His work proposes an alternative use for the radio spectrum - as a compositional device that is considered a whole rather than individual monolithic stations separated by static.

Neil Luck is a musician based in the UK. His work takes a range of forms from music-theatre, to concert works, radio, public projects and recordings, and is the founder and director of the experimental music ensemble ARCO.

Eden Box is an album of songs, dances and vérité recordings written and produced largely on the edge of a South German forest. They all play with the process of mediating, editing, and reframing raw acoustic materials, many of which were captured outside and on the hoof. The album title is a reference to the 20th century British artist of the same name (well, their pseudonym) whose naive style brought together ideas of nature, man’s place with it, and christian iconography into strange symbolist compositions.

Additional performers and collaborators:
Binghi (Isheja Cheryl), Adam de la Cour, Monika Czyżyk, Margaret Luck, Chihiro Ono, Benedict Taylor, Athina Vahla.

​
Written, recorded, and produced by Neil Luck. Mastered by Simon Davey at The Exchange. CD artwork Kapha by Monika Czyżyk. Book and case design by Joseph Kohlmaier at Cours de Poétique. Recorded and produced at Akademie Schloss Solitude Stuttgart, EMS Stockholm, Colourscape Clapham, at home in London, and in the woods of Tonbridge.

​
Sensible Activities is an essay, and an illustrated book of musical-sensory exercises to be enacted alone or in groups, outdoors. They all relate to an ongoing live project of Neil’s that has manifested as a series of walks and excursions with willing participants and musicians in various countries around the world.

Several of these activities link directly with particular tracks on Eden Box; track 2 features a prototype activity offered by Athina Vahla during a nighttime walk just outside Stuttgart. Track 3 is a demonstration of leaf blowing (p. 34), and track 6 is an encrusted recording of Neil’s ensemble ARCO testing "Internal Snore Monologue" (p. 20). There are many more indirect and abstract connections, and we consider this CD and book part of the same body of work. It is all, in the end, music.

​Produced and published by Cours de Poétique, whose Extended Scores series responds to the embodied, interdisciplinary, and discursive nature of contemporary music and performance practice by combining essays, documentary material, sound, and moving image with working scores in print and online.

Each copy of Sensible Activities includes access to documentation of the original performances, audio and video content, drawings, and bonus material, and a digital copy of Eden Box.

Eden Box / Sensible Activities is an album and book co-publication by Neil Luck. It is released by and produced in collaboration with Accidental Records and Cours de Poétique. It brings together a body of work from the last two years, broadly exploring contemporary, personal, and mediated ideas around the “pastoral” and the “folkloric”, that has manifested in music, performance, writings, radio, and images. It is then an album, a score, a document, an essay, an archive, an object.

During lockdown, artist Alan Dunn established 'orchestras' across seven dementia care homes, using everyday objects as instruments and tongue twisters as lyrics.

To everyone's surprise, these tongue twisters became a precious activity, with participants (and the artist's 6-year-old grandson) creating new ones, reciting them in different styles and even mastering some of the world's hardest ones!

This new mix brings together versions from one of the care villages in Chester that was part of the longer Where the Arts Belong research project between Bluecoat and Belong. The recent publication The Jingle Book documents these tongue twister adventures that brought laughter and new verbal fluency to many during dark times.

This project is an ongoing internet collaboration curated by regina veldon. “Our parents told us to always remember home, the evening star” is a Facebook group. An internet mixtape.

Curator regina veldon writes:
“I discussed tonight the possibility of creating work based around the title ‘our parents told us to always remember home, the evening star’ and the image nasa released of earth as a bright, starlike object in the evening sky of mars.

The proposition, in more detail, is as follows:
The title of the works should be ‘our parents told us to always remember home, the evening star’
Artists are free to interpret the title and photograph any way they like
The works must be published by the artists themselves and each work must provide links back to the other works using the title so that we build up a web of links

The idea is to provide a hope for the future, to imagine the experiences of children born on a future mars colony.
The project is designed to extend past those invited and everyone who takes part is encouraged to ask others they know to produce their own work”
