Isotopica

The "body without organs" (French: corps sans organes) is a concept used by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. It usually refers to the deeper reality underlying some well-formed whole constructed from fully functioning parts. At the same time, it may also describe a relationship to one's literal body.

But today we are joined by Wellcome Trust / Clore/ Rijksakademie Fellow & FRSA Poet Astrid Alben who will be reading from her new collection Plainspeak.

Plainspeak is based on an early memory: when aged four or five she decided she wanted to be a boy, The boy she never got to be grew up alongside her as her alter ego, ‘Poet’ in these poems.

AND: Over the course of several months, Áine O'Dwyer was given access to the pipe organ in St Mark’s Church, Islington while the cleaners were at work. Primarily a harpist, this was a rare opportunity to grapple with the "king of instruments" and apply her sense of melodic, structured improvisation in a very different context.The result being  Áine O'Dwyer - Music For Church Cleaners vol. I and II with which we happily assemble today's program around......

Despite soaking

our main studio microphone in the cat water overnight, Isotopica steams ahead, with a cut and paste commentary, a water themed edition, ships horns, ocean currents, Suicide live and some vintage ether....

Isotopica's second thoughts on Bowie

David and I and the beginnings of time

Ultra high frequency

(UHF)

the ITU designation for radio frequencies in the range between 300 MHz and 3 GHz, also known as the band as the wavelengths range from one meter to one. UHF television broadcasting is the use of ultra high frequency (UHF) radio for over-the-air transmission of television signals. UHF frequencies are used for bothUltra

analog

and digital television broadcasts. UHF channels are typically given higher channel numbers, like the US arrangement with VHF channels 2 to 13, and UHF channels numbered 14 to 83.

UHF broadcasting became possible due to the introduction of new

high-frequency vacuum tubes

developed by Philips immediately prior to the opening of World War II. These were used in experimental television receivers in the UK in the 1930s, and became widely used during the war as radar receivers. Surplus tubes flooded the market in the post-war era. At the same time, the development of color television was taking its first steps, initially based on incompatible transmission systems. The US FCC set aside a block of the then-unused and now-practical UHF frequencies for color television use. The introduction of the backward compatible NTSC standard led to these channels being released for any television use in 1952

So First We loose Lemmy......

a funny thing happened to me on the way to the studio

i had the results of my second opinion hearing tests today (NHS vrs boots) and it seems it's true..... Way back in the late 90's when i first gave up drinking, i was desperate for feelings, any feelings, and this included trying to make (terrible) dance music in my home studio on headphones, with every possible output boosted beyond maximum... The result was that a year or so later the ringing had still not stopped, and gradually the high frequency end of my hearing has radically tapered off. In company of actors my hearing is fine, they naturally seem to projects without shouting, but mumblers and the not so sure tend to have me straining to catch every word... so now im going to start boosting my hearing electronically..... and am waiting with a vital interest for the results of several gene therapy studies that hope to regrow the damages cilia, with an attenuated viral vector injected directly into the ear..... watch this space

Notting Hill Gate y quintessence 1967

Things look great in Notting Hill Gate

They really move with the change in times

But only you can know the reason why

Why they hide behind their own third eye

Things look cool in Notting school

They never go about playing no rules

But only you can know the reason why

Why they fly in the sky so high

Getting it straight in Notting Hill Gate

We all sit around and meditate

But only you can know the reason why

Why we fly in the sky so high
