This week we celebrate the life and work of one of Britain's greatest big band leaders, soundtrack composers, library music composers and time/mind-bending musicians, Basil Kirchin. Hull City of Culture 2017 recently put on a weekend of the great man's music, which DJ Bongoboy was lucky enough to attend. Inspired by that, we've put our own tribute together.

In 2008, Jean-Jacques Perrey and his musical partner Dana Countryman appeared at the first AV Festival, which took place at the Sage, Gateshead in March of that year. In the afternoon, Jean-Jacques presented a lecture talking about his life of music-making, where he also gave a demonstration of how to make a tape loop. Amongst many others in the audience for that talk were James Cargill and Trish Keenan from Broadcast and Dick Mills from the Radiophonic Workshop (who DJ Bongoboy ended up sitting next to). Later that day, Jean-Jacques and Dana took to the stage to perform some of Jean-Jacques' greatest hits, as well as some of the music they'd been making together. Before the evening show, we were lucky enough to spend some time with these two great gentlemen and recorded an interview with them. More information about their appearance at the AV Festival can be found here: http://www.avfestival.co.uk/programme/2008/events-exhibitions/radiophonia The interview we carried out at the AV Festival formed part of an edition of Project Moonbase which was broadcast in March 2008 but until now this show has not been available as a podcast.

Patron saint of the show, Jean-Jacques Perrey, recently moved on from this planet to spend eternity with the stars. His music was a perfect example of all the things we love at PMB: humour, virtuosity, ping-pong stereo, the Moog synthesizer, tape loops, farmyard animals and even the electric sitar. This is our tribute to the great man - and such was the quality and quantity of his output that we've managed to put together a whole show of his music without playing a single track we've played on the podcast before.

We're still full of the joys of spring here on the moon, dear listener as we bring you a show all about blossom and the trees which produce it. The fruiting seed for this idea was the arrival of a lovely new album on Ghost Box by exciting new pop duo Hintermass (aka Jon Brooks and Tim Felton) which has the sound of folk music from the future. In addition to that, we also have some Norwegians sounding Scottish, some TV advert music from Germany, some Greek philosophy by way of Taiwan and a couple of examples of DJ Bongoboy insists on calling 'exoticaploitation'. In an unusual move we also have some genuine traditional music from Japan. podcast Project Moonbase - DJ Bongoboy & MC Zirconium - Futurologists, antiquarians and explorers in the outer realms of the music multiverse no no http://www.projectmoonbase.com/archives/9001 http://www.projectmoonbase.com/archives/9001#comments Sun, 27 Mar 2016 18:30:51 +0000 http://www.projectmoonbase.com/?p=9001 Continue reading →]]> http://www.projectmoonbase.com/archives/9001/feed 1 9001 0:50:47 We return from our recent hiatus with a show covering both Country music and Easter festivities.

It's time to catch up with some of our favourite new releases and reissues on the show this week, dear listener. We have a couple of tracks from one of the terrific compilations being put out by Bob Stanley on his Croydon Municipal label. There's also retro-futuristic music from Ethiopia and Nigeria, theremin jazz from Austria and the first tangible release from friend of the show, Concretism to name but a few. We would like to heartily thank everyone who phoned the PMB hotline last week to leave a message for our 200th show - and also those of you who voted on our duelling duals. It's taking a while for our super-computer to carry out the complex analysis of the results but we'll bring these to you in the next week or two.

We would like to take this opportunity to mop away a tear and thank all of our loyal listeners who have stuck with us over the years, through yodelling and whistling. We would like to particularly thank those of you who were kind enough to suggest tracks for this edition of the show - and also those who respond to our invitation to call the hotline with messages of support. For this week's bumper edition of the show, we have paired up some of your and some of our favourite tracks in a series of face-offs. We leave it to you, dear listener, to decide which is the better version using an increasingly unmanageable collection of hashtags. We think doubling up tracks like this works rather well.

This week on Project Moonbase we explore the world of dreams, trances and astral travelling with the intention that by the end of the experiment, sorry, show you will have reached an altogether higher state of consciousness and be able to look down upon yourself looking up at yourself. 101, Strings, Barry, Bermange, Boris, Zepyr, Delia, Derbyshire, Ethel, Smith, Gerhard, Gregor Project Moonbase - DJ Bongoboy & MC Zirconium - Futurologists, antiquarians and explorers in the outer realms of the music multiverse no no http://www.projectmoonbase.com/archives/7345 Sun, 18 May 2014 20:06:29 +0000 http://www.projectmoonbase.com/?p=7345 Continue reading →]]> 7345 1:15:03 Things go all electro-mechanical on this week's show dear listener with music made by dot matrix printers, floppy disk drives, a jazzolian, an enormous music box, a player piano a polyphon, an orchestrion and a trio of robots to mention but a f[...] Things go all electro-mechanical on this week's show dear listener with music made by dot matrix printers, floppy disk drives, a jazzolian, an enormous music box, a player piano a polyphon, an orchestrion and a trio of robots to mention but a few.

This arose largely because of two differing approaches taken by DJ Bongoboy and MC Zirconium to the subject, with the former taking a somewhat "Carry On" approach and the latter a more academic one. The end result was so many great pieces of music that we decided to split them across two shows. So for this first part we bring you a hopefully chuckle and titter inducing selection of tunes, mostly from the more innocent 60s, where the topic of wind had less of a double entendre than it perhaps does now. On next week's show we'll be taking a more meteorological and geographical approach to the four winds.

This week's comes as a result of a suggestion by listener Dr Rhubarb who astutely noticed our mentioning of the mange and dropsy in a recent edition of the show. In that same show we put out a call for theme suggestions and Dr Rhubarb pointed out that the mange and dropsy would themselves make an ideal candidate for a show theme. As a result you can expect an hour of music which is likely to make you want to itch, scratch and retain water. There is a brief interlude from illness as we bring you a brand new version of show favourite Caravan!

This week's show takes its title from an astonishing piece of vinyl archaeology in the form of a new compilation by Dante Carfagna of the Ohio Soul Recordings website and Rob Sevier of the Numero Group. If you can imagine a heady fusion of 70s soul, primitive electronics and song-poem-like lyrics you might begin to get an idea of the treasures to be found on this collection. In addition to that we also have tracks from brand new albums by Giant Claw and the Sone Institute, more from the Como Zoo Carousel Calliope and a possibly unique example of Star Wars exploitation music.

If that name isn't all that familiar, Barbara's work often went uncredited, perhaps because she had the audacity to be a woman working in a field dominated by men. Barbara Moore has nearly 300 compositions to her name and wrote arrangements and sang on some absolutely iconic tunes from the 60s and 70s such as The Saint, At the Sign of the Swinging Cymbal, Bedazzled, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, as well as recording several really beautiful library music albums throughout the 70s for de Wolfe. Most of the music on this week's show features Barbara Moore in some way but we do also manage to squeeze in another track from Brazilian band Pato Fu and another track from the new solo album by Laetitia Sadier.More information about Barbara Moore can be found at http://www.barbaramoore.co.uk/ If it's still August 2012 when you're reading this, Lorraine Bowen will be interviewing Barbara Moore live on stage as well as playing some of her arrangements and compositions on the 29th.

So no particular theme this week as we bring you music from two new compilations of TV and library music from Soul Jazz and Winchester Hospital Radio, a track from Laetitia Sadier’s new album, a reissue of an old educational gem by Dorothy Collins, some fine new chip-prog from Norway and a track from Shawn Lee’s alluringly titled new album Synthesizers in Space. We also have the penultimate release from the epic 3-year project by “Roger and Dave” to record ukulele versions of all 185 Beatles compositions as well as a version of show favourite Caravan and the most extraordinary sounds made by an extremely run-down calliope from Como Zoo.

This week's show is themed around the world of mental well-being or, more often than not, mental unwell-being. This theme came as a result of listener Squig reminding us of the existence of a truly (and quite literally) mind-bending piece of country noir from the great Porter Wagoner. We also have some equally warped pieces of music from Serge Gainsbourg, Jonny Trunk, Lucia Pamela, Geoff Love and many more. In addition to all the mad music, there's also an imagined theme tune to some 1970s educational programming from Chris Sharp, aka Concretism and a teaser of a soon to be reissued masterpiece of early computer music from Laurie Spiegel. arcadecoma, concretism, James, Last, Jonny, Trunk, laurie, spiegel, lucia, pamela, pasquale, and Project Moonbase - DJ Bongoboy & MC Zirconium - Futurologists, antiquarians and explorers in the outer realms of the music multiverse no no http://www.projectmoonbase.com/archives/5401 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:48:31 +0000 http://www.projectmoonbase.com/?p=5401 Continue reading →]]> 5401 1:01:58 Hot on the heels of last week's birthday special, we have another one this week in the form of a 70th birthday celebration for an equally colossal figure in the world of popular music, namely one Sir Paul McCartney. Hot on the heels of last week's birthday special, we have another one this week in the form of a 70th birthday celebration for an equally colossal figure in the world of popular music, namely one Sir Paul McCartney. We've tried to avoid playing versions of Beatles-era McCartney and have instead concentrated on Sir Paul's solo work. Particular highlights include arrangements of his songs by the Calcutta Youth Choir and Brazilian band Pato Fu - we fully expect to be playing more by these fabulous bands in future shows. In addition to all the McCartney music we have also managed to cram in the flip-side of the latest in the Study Series from Ghost Box records by The Advisory Circle.

Yes, every track on the show this week has an underwater theme. with music from Al Caiola, Stereo Total, Les Baxter, OMO, Dolphins into the Future, Korla Pandit, Sven Libaek, Jürgen Müller and Gil Evans. We also have a bit of a Moonbase exclusive from Logan 5 and our App of the Week this week is the faithful emulation of that iconic 80s sampling synthesizer, the Fairlight CMI.   Listen now: The Music 1. Various Artists: Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea from 100 Greatest TV Themes 2. Al Caiola: Underwater Chase from Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 8: Cocktail Capers 3. Stereo Total: Kappa Works in the Factory from Underwater Love (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 4. Dolphins Into The Future: Onset – Beyond Clouds from …On Sea-Faring Isolation 5. Les Baxter: The Ancient Galleon from The Exotic Moods of Les Baxter 6. Logan 5: Atlantis 7. OMO: ROV from The White Album 8. Sven Libaek: Sounds of the Deep from Inner Space 9.

Gil Evans: 1983-A Merman I Should Turn to Be from Plays the Music of Jimi Hendrix   App of the Week In 1979 Peter Vogel came up with the Fairlight CMI, one of the first sampling synthesizers and an instrument which largely defined the sound of 1980s electronic pop. Over 30 years on, it’s now possible to get all the functionality of the Fairlight into your iPhone or iPad with this Fairlight app. However, if you’d still like to own an actual Fairlight CMI, you’re in luck because Vogel has put that back into production too. However, you’ll need around $30,000 to get your hands on one.For considerably less you can purchase the Fairlight app. There are two flavours, the regular version and the “Pro” version. Our advice is to start with the basic version and then upgrade to Pro if you want the full Fairlight experience. But you can see the differences in each version by compare the features.

This is something we heartily endorse at the Moonbase, being as we are enthusiasts of all forms of obsolete technology. So on this week’s show every track comes from a cassette release – and not only that, it is played from an actual tape! We have selections from new releases by Dylan Ettinger, DMX Krew, Monroeville Music Center, Pye Corner Audio, R. Stevie Moore, Orca Team, Giant Claw and Oxykitten and a not-so-new-release by Super Mazembe. As the number of people who voted “yes” in the recent poll on our website vastly outnumbered the no votes, we are also delighted to announce that this show will itself be released in a very limited run on cassette! We’ll let you know how, when and where you’ll be able to acquire a copy of what we feel will be a highly collectable item. Alternatively, download the MP3 directly.   The Music 1. Dylan Ettinger:Endeavor from Botany Bay 2. DMX Krew:Sound Of The DMX from Sound Of The Street 3. Orca Team:Full Moon from Kissing Cousins 4. Giant Claw:Big Heat from Midnight Murder 5.
