Audio Poverty 1.1: Recording Angels
The history, that should long have been ours, lies idle in the musical archives. Aspiration, our daily labour, open and sore. The music has been waiting there for better times. And the recordings reveal something about what we once may hope to be. Never before has the past sounded so much like the future.
What are we to do with this music and history – this is what this evening is about.
Listen and discuss together with Mark Ainley (Honest Jon’s Records), Nick Currie (aka Momus), Ekkehard Ehlers, Björn Gottstein, Kleopatra Sofroniou (Deutsche Grammophon) and Klaus Walter (byte.fm) at
