Track 10
"Ghost Of '58"
previously unreleased
Artist statement:
Sound artist and radio producer Robin The Fog has recently earned
himself the unofficial title of BBC 'Resident Hauntologist', thanks
both to his day job as a Studio Manager and the various activities
he has engaged in since joining the corporation; including his
recent album in tribute to the former World Service building Bush
House (The Ghosts Of Bush - released under the name
Howlround, the old BBC term for feedback), his guest-presenting a
special edition of Jonny Trunk's OST Show examining the BBC's
in-house record label (available here: tinyurl.com/9bvkmny), and of
course his saving of some 2,000 Sound Effects records from one of
their skips. The track "Ghost Of '58" was made entirely using
processed recordings from one of the ancient shellac transcription
discs, and a second Howlround album, inspired by the work of the
Radio Drama department is planned for early next year.
Outside of the day job, he presents irregularly for Resonance FM,
lives in flat in South London crammed with records and never puts
anything back in it's place.
