Little Timothoy

unnamedFantastic Princess & Friends presents The Shit or LITTLE TIMOTHOY
The Auricle Sonic Arts Gallery
Saturday 20th June, 2015
From 5:30pm
Facebook event

Little Timothoy is perhaps the greatest work by the eponymous Fantastic Princess. Spanning a grotesque 40 minutes of diverse elements such as noise, avant-garde music, a children’s storybook and a myriad of lo-fi recording techniques, it remains a masterpiece 5 years after its creation. It has however gone unreleased for this entire time though, and it is now time for an official release.
Listen to Little Timothoy in it’s entirety, superbly reproduced on the silky speakers within the warm walls of The Auricle, drink a beverage, chat to the creators and pick up your own copy of the CD ($10.00). Each copy is handmade and unique (this is a very limited edition of 50).
The piece will be played in it’s entirety starting 6:30pm. It will not be looped, but can be replayed later in the night on request.

Radiophonic Night

7pm: Radiophonic documentary
From 8pm – Music and live acts
Facebook event

Journey back in time with the futuristic sounds of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in a night of vintage music made and inspired by the legendary department. The evening blasts off with a film about the pioneering electronic studio, followed by radiophonic music playing all night in the bar and live performances upstairs from Nicolas Woollaston, Adam Willetts, Richard B. Keys, David Khan and the specially formed Auricle Radiophonic Orchestra.

Established in 1958 to produce new music and sound effects for radio and then television, it was responsible for classic tunes such as the original Dr Who theme to sound effects for the Goon Show. While much of its output still sounds amazingly modern, the sounds of its classic era were created using very basic equipment, such as old test equipment and tape recorders. Employing the techniques of musique concrète, natural sounds – often of everyday objects – were recorded, manipulated and transformed into the often highly atmospheric soundtracks for which the workshop became known.
