Farewell to Maida Vale (1/2)
Tom Service presents a specially recorded performance by the group Apartment House at the 麻豆社's Maida Vale studios plus a new commission from Sasha Scott.
With the 麻豆社 soon to be moving out of its famous music studios in Maida Vale, Tom Service presents the first of two final New Music Show concerts from this historic London recording venue. Tonight, the group Apartment House is featured with a typically eclectic mix of diverse musics including works by the young American composer Lila Meretzky and the UK鈥檚 own Tim Parkinson; we hear from iconic 90s composer duo Morison/Opit, classic grungy French spectralism from Micha毛l Levinas, and a surreal ramble through early Maida Vale recordings of The Fall, re-imagined by the group's director Anton Lukoszevieze. Plus a specially commissioned piece of electronic music from composer Sasha Scott created from recordings made over a single day in Maida Vale - orchestral tuning, the canteen vending machine, the goods lift and instruments synonymous with Maida Vale such as the celeste and an EMS synthesizer originally used by the Radiophonic Workshop.
To listen on most smart speakers just say 鈥淎sk 麻豆社 Sounds to play New Music Show" and for more on the history of the 麻豆社 at Maida Vale visit: canvas-story.bbcrewind.co.uk/maidavalelegacy
