The Circle – The Sleeping Years (Edition 8) 14 July 09

Brought to you by Arctic Circle Radio, the Circle is a new weekly pad-cast that takes you on a one-hour journey based on the most simple and significant of shapes. Every Circle is unique; formed from a guest curator’s musical landscape and they all share the same revolutionary quality: each one ends at the point where it began.

Edition 8 – Mix by The Sleeping Years: This Circle collects together recordings of people I know, an old recording of mine (Catchers), a new cover version (‘Abilene’), some label mates from Talitres (Thee Stranded Horse, Swell, Fránçois) and some music I like to listen to. Thank you to Miho, Alice, Damian, Julie, Shwetha, Kelly, Catriona, Ben, Anna, and my parents for taking the time to answer my questions.
