Every now and again we like to look back through the mix archives and dig up a selection that new listeners to the station may have missed out on. This week we re-introduce a past exclusive from Anthony Harrison aka Konntinent…
For my 33rd birthday I was bought a 1959 Grundig Cub reel to reel tape machine. Its in wonderful condition and was accompanied by a number of tape spools, originally used by the previous owner, Mr Ligget. Enamoured by the technology at his disposal, Mr Ligget spent a considerable amount of 1960 documenting the thoughts and activities of his family, their musical endeavours and their adventures in the garden. Sheep on the Downs is a 60 minute assembly of the Ligget families adventures, interspersed with some wonderful music of which I am certain they would approve. – Anthony

About the artist:
Konntinent is the work of London’s Antony J Harrison. As well as co-curating Phantom Channel (an esteemed Net/CD-R Label) including its special Events wing, Harrison’s recorded output can be found on revered labels including Symbolic Interaction, Dynamophone, Serein and Sonic Pieces.
His music is unique, utilising an arsenal of broken electronics, silky organic instrumentation, found sounds and drone-based soundscapes, Konntinent ensures he avoids well-trodden paths to establish the fact that his compositions are very much his own.
