Cuckoo Farm Studios Experimental Music All-Dayer

S01 E02

cuckoo farm podcast review — Robin Alderton and Jay Mills

What do you get if you take a bunch of experimental noise musicians and put them in a barn in the Essex countryside with a loud PA? This. This is what you get. For this episode of the Beat Motel podcast, we take you on an occasionally aurally painful journey through an experimental music all-dayer.

There was a wide range of acts playing the Cuckoo Farm all-dayer so this podcast episode is a bit like a sampler for the experimental electronica genre. The conversations with the artists are a great example of how friendly and welcoming the noise scene in really is.

We have everything here from smooth experimental ambient to full-on terrifying power electronics. We’ve done our best to mix this episode in such a way that the listener won’t suffer any damage, but due to the nature of the beast at play, we promise nothing.

LINEUP

HUGE thanks to Stuart Bowditch and Tom Armstrong for organising the gig. The whole day was a brilliant example of how friendly, mildly chaotic and pure fun the noise scene is in East Anglia.
