    Dominic — Goth de Burgh, Guitar Orchestras & Sampling 1.0

    For this Instalment our Lockaway is Dominic Simpson, a ‘node within the leftfield London music scene’ and native Hackneyite chronicling matters at the heart of the ‘Crapital’. Dominic wields guitar, piano and clarinet on stage, battling with Theresa May speeches cut-up into hypnotic mantras under the moniker Dream Maps.

 Dominic’s approach to his bunker ration strings together several musical epiphanies which he sees as characterising his life before the apocalypse, featuring a visionary composer who assembled an orchestra of 100 guitarists, a sonic butcher who transforms Muzak hits into macabre Frankenstein dirges and a 30 strong band conjuring the spirit of Ancient Sudan through a Prog Rock lens. For more of Dominic’s music see: https://dreammaps1.bandcamp.com For A Hackney Autobiography Project: https://www.ahackneyautobiography.org.uk For Dominic’s Writing: http://goodnightlondon.blogspot.com Apocalypse Bunker Discs is the alternative 🏝’You know what' 💿 for the age of rising sea levels, where— let's face it — the castaway is far more likely to find themselves marooned in an underground hiding place than a paradisal isle.

    Charlotte — 70s Zenwaves, Thames Barge Gamelan & Andromeda Blues

    For this Instalment our Lockaway is Charlotte Wendy Law, an artist specialising in acts of Decreation. Our download ration consultation looks both back to the sounds of Palaeolithic caves and forward to the sounds of interplanetary refugees to forge a new way of life for the bunker. Her choices range from an animistic synth drone pioneer who levitated the odd handbag, an uncompromising composer who developed his own style of ‘organic music’ and a multimedia chronicle of a recently conceived religion, to help inspire her to construct her own subterranean pantheon of gods... Charlotte’s work draws on ‘queer nomadism, alchemical processes, deep listening and quiet observation. cwl combines live art, sound, voice, and moving image to create work that continually blurs the boundaries between body and landscape, seeking to share a sense of enchantment and solidarity with the natural world.’ For more of Charlotte’s work see: charlottewendylaw.net To hear Charlotte’s film ‘Raft’ in full: youtu.be/gPA9Qc_c5Js For Charlotte’s Cassette Release, ‘Ice Since Fire’: linearobsessional.bandcamp.com/album/ice…ince-fire Apocalypse Bunker Discs ☢️💿 is the alternative 🏝💿 for the age of rising sea levels, where— let's face it — the castaway is far more likely to find themselves marooned in an underground hiding place than a paradisal isle.

    Blanc Sceol — Musical Metamorphoses, an Arctic 'Joiking' Lawyer & a Post-Internet Psychedelic Bard

    Hannah White & Stephen Shiell work together as Blanc Sceol (meaning white temporary shelter). They are certified Deep Listening® practitioners, a discipline that applies meditation principles to sound, developed by the innovative composer Pauline Oliveros. In addition to facilitating Deep Listening® workshops and Sound Walks, Blanc Sceol perform variously, describing their work as ‘Psychosonographic, expressing our experience of place, with field recordings, self-created instruments, found objects, voice and text.’ 

 Past performances have involved demonstrations of Palaeolithic instruments, marauding animal choirs and fishing for sounds at the wetlands. Expect a deep excavation into the human psyche across their choices and an exploration of their sound awareness foremothers. ~ From time expansion to silence sculpting & the cosmic ripplings of tea ~

    Tom — A Cemetery Psychoramble featuring Champagne Charlie, FTSE the Dog and a Corduroy Batsuit

    Sound Designer, Social Commentator and Menace Tom Alcott joins me on a digressive musical exploration of Abney Park Cemetery, Stoke Newington, London, during which we discuss droning Post-Apocalyptic Gothscapes, a nomadic visionary creator of an electronic dulcimer, a Northumbrian experimental folk hero, the 'endless palette' of field recordings and Tom shares a clip from his jurassic cling-film magnum opus... We also play fictional song title ping pong, speculate liberally on the inhabitants of the cemetery (both dead and almost) and offer 'out-the-box' (⚰️) macabre musings on 21st century mortality.

    Thomas (Research Laboratories) — Electrical Clothing, an Elvis Séance & a Satanic Whoopee Cushion

    Thomas Laroche, representative of Research Laboratories and keeper of thirteen colonies of dermestes maculates beetles, is our Lockaway for this edition. He presented the Bunker with a mystery package containing several occult trinkets released by Research Laboratories, including: a Sexton Ming cassette tape titled 'Mad Sod the Scientist VS Proffecer Pipping-hot', a cassette by Creep of Paris containing an Elvis Presley séance and a Satanic Whoopee Cushion, all of which will be sampled in this show. Thomas's selections range from the explosively abrasive to the candycoated hypernormal; an extracorporeal music concrète nomad, a witty American Diner protest singer and a tape hoarding inventor of electric clothing, to tease just three of his high-intrigue selections...
