    by 5:4 May 18, 2010 • 07:34

    Thirty years ago, Ian Curtis, lead singer and prime mover of Joy Division throughout its short-lived existence, took his own life. i can’t and won’t claim to have known anything about this at the time (being a mere six years old, my own musical journey had barely begun, let alone…

    Mixtape #15 : Late Night

    by 5:4 March 27, 2010 • 20:52
    March 27, 2010 • 20:52

    It’s been a while since the last mixtape, and i’ve decided to return to the theme of the the first two mixes, music particularly suitable for late night listening. Steve Peters‘ work is always fascinating, and his field recording project Here-ings is a masterpiece. i wrote about it at length…

    Mixtape #12 : Electronics

    by 5:4 August 22, 2009 • 21:15
    August 22, 2009 • 21:15

    Back, not so much with a vengeance as a new mixtape; the theme this time is simply electronics. Many of the pieces are rather long, so this mix, more than the others, features excerpts rather than complete works. The mix opens with one of the most exciting electronic works by…
