Dutch sound artist, curator and theoretician Paul Panhuysen has died aged 70. In 1980 Panhuysen cofounded Eindhoven artists’ initiative Het Apollohuis with his wife Hélène Apollo. During its existence, the initiative, which lasted until 2002, was known as one of Holland’s primary breeding grounds for experimental music, art and performance. In addition, Panhuysen released a number of albums such as Partitas For Long Strings (1998), Lost For Words (1999) and Pendulum Change Ringing (2014), and won several awards including the Prix Ars Electronica in 2004.

Warp Records are repressing the album catalogue of Birmingham duo Broadcast on vinyl. Drawing on European cult cinema soundtracks, the experimentation of The BBC Radiophonic Workshop and 1960s psychedelia, Broadcast’s Trish Keenan (who died in 2011) and James Cargill are widely credited as early channelers of the hauntological current in contemporary music. Long unavailable in this format, Work And Non Work (1997), The Noise Made By People (2000), Haha Sound (2003), Tender Buttons (2005), The Future Crayon (2006) and Broadcast And The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults Of The Radio Age (2009) will be rereleased on 9 March.

Initial orders come with a booklet of album artwork by Ghost Box cofounder and longtime Broadcast collaborator Julian House.

23 Skidoo’s first album in 15 years is a soundtrack for fellow member Alex Turnbull’s documentary film Beyond Time.

Codirected by Turnbull and Pete Stern, the 2011 documentary traces the life of Alex’s sculptor father William Turnbull, accompanied by a 23 Skidoo score consisting of new music and reworkings of older material.

The group’s aesthetic, says Alex, links with that of his father’s artwork. "It turns out we had a genetic predisposition to anti-establishment practices,” he explains. “Bill [William Turnbull] was a polymath at a time when that was a dirty word, shifting between sculpture and painting and putting both in a symbiotic relationship. Now crossing boundaries is everywhere.”

Beyond Time, which includes a DVD of Turnbull’s documentary, will be released on 16 March by Les Disques du Crépuscule.

Tangerine Dream’s founder and leader Edgar Froese has died at the age of 70 after suffering a pulmonary embolism in Vienna.

Tangerine Dream were formed by Froese in 1967. The original trio also included Conrad Schnitzler and Klaus Schulze, who both left after recording their debut album Electronic Meditation (1970). Tangerine Dream would undergo many more line-up changes, with Froese their one constant member, over a career spanning five decades and more than 100 albums.

Tangerine Dream also composed music for many films including Sorcerer, Thief, The Keep and Risky Business, among others. In 1973, the group signed to Virgin. Legend has it that their deal was agreed on the basis of a meeting where Froese played chess with Virgin boss Richard Branson.

The young label gave them free reign but by this stage Tangerine Dream’s brand of immensely popular electronics bore little similarity to the more kosmische trips of their pre-Virgin quartet of early 1970s albums, Electronic Meditation, Alpha Centauri, Atem and Zeit.

Froese also recorded a number of solo albums, many of which he rerecorded and remixed in recent years.

London community arts radio station, Resonance 104.4 FM is launching its annual fundraising drive starting 9 February. Lasting through the week, their campaign will include live events, an online auction, as well as (naturally) special broadcasts.

The station, which is now entering its 13th year of service to Londoners (and online listeners around the world) with an ear for eclectic and more challenging on air fare, is looking to raise £50,000 to replace equipment, extend its broadcast footprint, and renew its OFCOM licence this year.

Resonance FM's CEO Ed Baxter explains: “Radio here [in the UK] is free to its listeners and Resonance doesn't sell anything except for its t-shirts – this year we have a special fundraising design by Peter Blake. We would really like to keep our schedule advert-free and this campaign is partly about that. But we also urgently need funds to replace equipment and to expand our facilities.”
