herb and simon get groovy

This week's Isotopica features the return of our roving architecture correspondent and blueprint magazine contributing editor, Herbert Wright. Herbert tries to get a sensible word in, and does an admirable job, despite tyszko's fixation on Portuguese culinary custard

We discuss, in the loosest possible way, the first Lisbon Open House Event, the sale of Admiralty Arch, the dissolution of the house of Windsor and the proposed conversion of Buckingham palace into Artist studio's and allotments. mixed with a series of treated and haunted 78's, it's Isotopica.

As a counterpoint to my determination to stay in my bed with advanced and dramatic Ennui, isotopica today features some of my previous field recordings from a home away from home, and a monkey Temple in Jaipur, an Indian language archive feature, on Classical tabla player Ustad Allah Rakah, then further horse and hound field recordings from the beating heart of Tory Britain, all topped off with a lovely brass band.

In todays isotopica we have a very brief frieze special from under a duvet in West London and we also ask you to consider the concept of Hauntology as recently described online by renaissance man Mark Pilkington and academically  introduced at various points by Jaques Derida, most specifically in His 1993 work Specters of Marx.  He talks of Sprits, of Haunting and Le Fantôme in some excerpts from the fabulous and obscurantist Film Ghost Dance by Ken McMullan. We craftily mix this with a selection of attenuated 78's, sprinkle the recording with some brief frieze conversations, and so on till next week, when we hopefully bring you some more.

Serial Digressionist David Ellis Invites Simon Tyszko for an out of hours stroll and chat, through The Wellcome Library which is founded on the collection formed by Sir Henry Wellcome (1853–1936), whose personal wealth allowed him to create one of the most ambitious collections of the 20th century.

Henry Wellcome's interest was the history of medicine in a broad sense and included subjects like alchemy or witchcraft, but also anthropology and ethnography. Since Henry Wellcome’s death in 1936, the Wellcome Trust has been responsible for maintaining the Library's collection and funding its acquisitions
