Tuesday night soundart II
This time, Otto Luenig and Vladimir Ussachevsky performing early musique concrete, or Tape music, if you will. Delia Darbyshire and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop took this form of composing later to still unmatched standards.
Shoutout: Finn comix blogs!
I would really recommend you to take some time to explore the finn comix blogosphere.
This is a nice starting point.
If you want me to do the picking for you, I would recommend Olli´s and Mari´s blog.
If your finnish ain´t too good, don´t worry, they even translate their stuff now and then.
