Whirled Service

Just been listening to "Whirled Service" by Robin the Frog. This was a commission by BBC Radio 3's Late Junction programme & is a sequel to "The Ghosts of Bush".
Let me explain.
"The Ghosts of Bush" was an album created only using sounds recorded in the BBC's Bush House studios, the home of the BBC's World Service. And by in Bush House I mean the ambient sound of a stairwell, the sound of the life working, a door banging shut - the actual sounds of the building & the sound of the programmes it made. Some of the sound it treated, some of it as it naturally sounds. A sort of aural portrait of the building, and it's ghosts. Released under the name of Howlround, the artist is actually a studio manager for the BBC and worked in the building.
This new commission is made using the same techniques, but in the new home of the BBC World Service, hence the title "Whirled Service".
Very interesting. Great mood and atmospheres. As good as the first. Hopefully it gets a release beyond the BBC broadcast & short lived podcast version.......
