Broadcasting from Scotland – Tak tent or it's tint
Songs about cryptic characters. Songs about dried posies. Songs of despair. Slow-burning torch songs. Songs about mortality. Songs about passionate sadness. Songs of bitterness. Songs about collapses. Songs about endings. Songs for friends. Songs on fire. Songs about rising and falling … and the wickedness of daring to dream when there is no glimpse of light!
Bagging Area’s third mix for Tak Tent Radio – a largely ambient and drone affair, plenty of analogue synths, some spoken word, some Balearica and some Blade Runner. The soundtrack to walking the streets of suburban South Manchester in the dark during lockdown 2021.
New High Jinks features no less than three tracks from Blackford Hill Transmissions Vol 1, out on Blackford Hill in April. It’s a substantial 2 CDs of really excellent tracks and highly recommended. Profits from the release go to Shelter. Some great forthcoming releases from 12th Isle, Denovali, Gizeh Records are also in the mix alongside new work from Daniel Avery and Kevin Richard Martin.
Bagging Area began as a music blog in 2010 and Adam Turner has been ploughing that antiquated musical furrow ever since, with daily posts and pictures. Bagging Area’s Find The President mix looks for the joins between ambient, found sounds, drones and noise, Two Lone Swordsmen, 80s Factory, Eno and Byrne and Snake Plissken.
