Nov 14, 2009 solipsistic NATION No. 167 Room40

Once a month on solipsistic NATION I showcase a record label that is putting out amazing releases that you absolutely need to know about. On today's show we'll talk with Lawrence English, the founder of founder of Room40, and play select tracks from his label.

I first discovered Room40 a few years back when I relaunched solipsistic NATION as a podcast. I head head about Room40's compilation album, On Isolation, and Lawrence was kind enough to send a copy of the CD my way as well as a copy of Airport Symphony. I was immediately taken with On Isolation because those albums transported me to different places in my imagination, On Isolation with its experimental music and Airport Symphony with it field recordings.

Since then I've anticipated each release from Room40 because I've always been surprised by each release. Some albums feature field recordings, others explore the realm of experimental music, and others features quite, beautiful music. Today's show is a perfect example of the diversity of music offered by Room40.

I've wanted to have Lawrence on solipsistic NATION for a long time so it's a pleasure to finally have him on today's show. Not only do we get to hear some fantastic music from Room40 but we also get to learn how Lawrence launched his label. In addition, we'll learn how Lawrence approaches making music for art installation and the many music festivals he is involved in!
