David Howcroft and Andy Wood on TQ NauT: In conversation with Mariam Rezaei
Since their unconnected inception in mid 2017, TQ (zine – Andy Wood) and N-aut (tapes –David Howcroft) have been actively supporting each other in their work and developing the synergy of both enterprises. Meeting in North East England once a month to share ideas and plans, it was decided to make real an idea we had discussed on many occasions : TQ NauT.
Mariam talks with David and Andy about the ups, downs and findings of running a zine, bootlegging gigs and making a brand new record label.
Martin Archer talks about Discus Music with Stewart Smith
Martin Archer is a composer / improviser who is equally at home on stage or in the studio. His own distinctive saxophone playing is rooted in AACM jazz. Through his use of keyboards and electronics, and as a studio producer, he extends this interest into extended song form and leftfield rock music. His principle music work is the Discus Music label, the imprint for his various releases, and increasingly releases by other artists.
In this conversation with Stewart Smith, Archer takes us on a journey through jazz, prog, electronic music and song, with reflections on the Sheffield music scene and his collaboration with Julie Tippets. He also introduces rare live footage of his cosmic music ensemble The Orchestra Of Upper Atmospheres.
“Archer’s aesthetic is an intriguing and transformative one—whatever enters his world comes out changed, if not utterly, then beautifully.” – DUNCAN HEINING
