This month we dedicate the whole show to a trip through the weird and wonderful world of Adaadat records. From a pummelling by the likes of DJ Scotch Egg and Ove Nax to the subtle splendour of Chosen Frequencies and Elephant house – this show marks an amazing history of exploration at the sonic frontier. Adaadat Records we salute you!

A concert for Delia Derbyshire’s 80th Birthday.

Roshi (feat. Pars Radio)
Iranian traditional songs and London electronica.

Roshi Nasehi is a Welsh born singer-composer of Iranian parentage with a strong track record in live performance, collaboration, recording and workshops. As a child she sang 80s pop, songs from musicals and Welsh folk at school and in local choirs. At home her parents played old tapes of Iranian folk and pop music and her father resumed traditional violin playing, which influenced early compositions. She also learned piano and in 1997 won a place at RWCMD to study composition and sang in the jazz ensemble directed by Keith Tippett. She moved to London in 2000 and before long formed her much acclaimed “experimental, electronic Welsh-Iranian folk pop” project Roshi Featuring Pars Radio with prolific percussionist/producer Graham Dowdall. It’s an unorthodox sound world combining Roshi’s intimate singing style with Gagarin’s experimental electronic powers to create a unique genre-crossing, ‘exotic, folktronica landscape.’

Roshi has received several commissions including the Belonging exhibition at the Museum Of London, BBC Radio 3’s The Verb, So & So Circus Theatre, Birds Eye View, the Southbank 2012 WOW festival and the British Council for whom she presented major public sound art pieces in Kuwait in May 2014.

Prominently featuring the mighty Casiotone MT400 and a collection of his garish psychedelic/baroque collage images.

Album release
This month’s event showcases the latest release on the Spirit of Gravity label, featuring another memorable live performance – that of Andrew Greaves’ focused and intense rendition of Octabeast, as seen and heard at the Terry Riley 80th Birthday celebration at the One Church, Brighton on 27 June 2015.

This ‘Ethiopian Dervish’ version of Octabeast was based on a series of Ethiopian 5 note scales; the shadow of Terry Riley may be detected in the use of a delay-laded combo organ sound. There is a hint too of famous Riley compositions, such as ‘A Rainbow In Curved Air’, as well as nods to other influential improvising organists like Mike Ratledge, Alice Coltrane, Larry Young and the great Ethiopian players Hailu Mercia and Mulatu Astatke.

The piece was framed as a shorter preview of the longer (5 hours), gallery version later performed by Andrew in October 2016. The album is available for audition and as a pay-what-you want download on the label’s page:
