    Mixtape #62 : Fire

    by 5:4 October 1, 2021 • 08:55
    October 1, 2021 • 08:55

    For the new 5:4 mixtape, apropos of nothing in particular, i’ve chosen fire as the theme. (Perhaps subconsciously i was reflecting on the fact that the days are getting colder…) As always, the mix draws on a diverse collection of tracks that in some way reference fire, charting a journey…

    The Isolation Mixtapes : A

    by 5:4 April 6, 2020 • 08:55
    April 6, 2020 • 08:55

    Due to the ongoing battle against COVID-19, many of us throughout the world are currently experiencing various states of lockdown and isolation. That’s not a situation that looks like it’s going to change significantly for the foreseeable future, so today i’m beginning a new weekly series of mixtapes on 5:4…

    Mixtape #58 : Virus

    by 5:4 March 17, 2020 • 14:21
    March 17, 2020 • 14:21

    Sometimes deciding a theme for a mixtape can be a time-consuming business – but not this time. If anything, not making viruses the theme for the new 5:4 mixtape would just feel like being wilfully contrary. So – a couple of weeks earlier than scheduled – here it is, a…

    Mixtape #54 : Menagerie

    by 5:4 April 2, 2019 • 08:48
    April 2, 2019 • 08:48

    For the new 5:4 mixtape, i’ve turned to the world of animals, assembling music that references a diverse collection of wildlife. All manner of beasts are featured, insects, birds, reptiles and amphibians in addition to mammals, from the smallest (probably, in this selection, a wasp) to the greatest (definitely, in…

    Mixtape #46 : Body

    by 5:4 June 2, 2018 • 09:38
    June 2, 2018 • 09:38

    For the new 5:4 mixtape, i’ve turned to that which is closest to us all: the human body. Not a particularly promising theme, you might think, but once i began digging through my music library the sheer quantity of body references quickly became overwhelming (take your pick whether that says…

    Mixtape #45 : Birds

    by 5:4 May 1, 2018 • 11:26
    May 1, 2018 • 11:26

    At the start of May each year, i always find myself thinking about birds, as the first Sunday of the month is marked globally as International Dawn Chorus Day, something i celebrated in a podcast back in 2010. So the theme for this month’s mixtape is of an avian persuasion…

    Mixtape #42 : Late Night

    by 5:4 February 1, 2018 • 08:22
    February 1, 2018 • 08:22

    As part of 5:4‘s tenth anniversary celebrations, i’m going to be putting out a new mixtape each month throughout 2018. While they’re quite time-consuming to curate and create, they’re also a lot of fun, and it’s been clear for a long time that the mixtapes are a popular feature on the…

    Mixtape #24 : Noir

    by 5:4 October 1, 2012 • 09:44
    October 1, 2012 • 09:44

    It’s time for a new mixtape, and once again it reflects my current predilections and listening habits. Film noir, and particularly its musical analogues, are much on my mind at present, so the new mixtape reflects that, drawing on 23 examples of muted monochrome. The similarities between these pieces are…

    Mixtape #21 : Noise

    by 5:4 November 19, 2011 • 16:28
    November 19, 2011 • 16:28

    With noise is born disorder […] In noise can be read the codes of life, the relations among men. Clamor, Melody, Dissonance, Harmony […] when it becomes sound, noise is the source of purpose and power, of the dream—Music. Stirring words from the opening chapter of Jacques Attali’s marvellous book…

    This evening the BBC Philharmonic gave a concert from their swanky new home at MediaCity in Salford, dedicated to film music, conducted by Robert Ziegler and and hosted by the superlative film critic Mark Kermode. Towards the end of the concert, the orchestra performed three pieces from the films of…

    June 10, 2011 • 06:33

    Today marks the 20th anniversary of the end of the television show Twin Peaks; the final episode was broadcast on 10 June 1991. Therefore, the new 5:4 podcast is a celebration of the remarkable music from this unique show. Despite some discussion of the story, those who haven’t yet seen…

    Mixtape #18 : Hallowe’en

    by 5:4 October 30, 2010 • 23:11
    October 30, 2010 • 23:11

    Caught up as i am this Hallowe’en weekend in a flurry of horror movies, it seemed only right to make the new 5:4 mixtape suitable for the occasion. For this Hallowe’en mix, i’ve trawled my library for music that’s particularly unsettling—so don’t expect to hear ‘The Monster Mash’ or anything…

    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…
