New Drops 29/08/25 - Greta Eacott (One Take Records)

We’re back from holiday and ready to add new sounds to our flowing radio stream. This time, we’ve been blessed with a selection by composer and drummer Greta Eacott, known for projects such as G-Bop Orchestra, One Take Records, and, most recently, composing ballet for children. Her selection takes you on a journey through archival recordings of steam trains, contemporary classical works, Welsh avant-garde theatre, and much more. About the mix, she says: "WARNING: this mix contains extreme range of dynamics, do not adjust your soundsystem :)" Tracklist: Steven Oliver – O’ Lorien Toru Takemitsu – Vocalism Ai (love) Memories of Steam – Carnforth – No: 45025 Shed, May 1968 Scott Walker – Big Louise Otto Wilberg – Shadow Came Into The Eyes As Earth Turned On Its Axis Test Dept & Brith Gof – Sarff Britta Byström – Katze und Vogel (live recording, performed by Yun Zeng) Harry Partch – Ring Around the Moon.
