  • Atom Smashers
    Atom Smashers This is a pretty old track - probably made around 2011 or so. To be honest I am a little ashamed about the fact that half the tracks on this album have been around for absolutely ages. Many have been sat on Soundcloud, there for all the world to hear. This feels like I’m short changing the people who buy the album somehow. But my thinking was this: if you’ve been working on tracks for ten years and you want to make a new album, then why not simply select the best ones that fit together with some kind of unifying concept? Why not just try making the best album you possibly can from the material available? So that’s what I did. I’m sincerely hoping that the next album will be 100% new and shiny. In fact I culled one killer new track off this one because I felt it would better suit the concept for the next one, which is already in progress as we speak. Anyway, enough of such distractions, what about atoms? Musical Energy: Repetition is a Microscope The ability to play with time is the most compelling thing about music, and especially electronic music, for me. Taking many days to construct a few minutes of auditory experience is a strange and wonderful process. Ever since I discovered as a child the ability to record audio on a tape machine, I’ve been fascinated by it. Even things that are nowadays trivial, such as recording something and playing it backwards, is still captivating to me.

  • Music Venue Trust Response to HM Government - Building Our Industrial Strategy Green Paper
    Music Venue Trust response to HM Government - Building Our Industrial Strategy Green Paper 1. About Music Venue Trust Music Venue Trust is a registered charity which acts to protect, secure and improve Grassroots Music Venues in the UK. 1 Music Venue Trust is the representative body of the Music Venues Alliance 2, a network of over 250 Grassroots Music Venues in the UK. A full list of Music Venues Alliance members can be found in Annex C. 2. Grassroots Music Venues in 2017 A. A nationally and internationally accepted definition of a Grassroots Music Venue (GMV) is provided at Annex D. This definition is now in wide usage, including by Parliament. 3 B. GMVs exhibit a specific set of social, cultural and economic attributes which are of special importance to communities, artists, audiences, and to the wider music industry. Across sixty years, this sector has played a vital research and nurturing role in the development of the careers of a succession of UK musicians, from The Beatles (The Cavern, Liverpool) through The Clash (100 Club, London), The Undertones (The Casbah, Derry), Duran Duran (Rum Runner, Birmingham), Housemartins (Adelphi, Hull), Radiohead (Jericho Tavern, Oxford), Idlewild (Subway, Edinburgh), Super Furry Animals (Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff). All three of the UK’s highest grossing live music attractions in 2017 (Adele, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay) commenced their careers with extensive touring in this circuit. 4 C. GMVs have demonstrated a strong and passionate engagement with local and regional audiences, addressing Arts Council England and DCMS core aims of ensuring experiences are available to everyone.5 “Music fans that attend gigs in these grassroots venues have a voracious appetite for live music and a high percentage attend shows regularly, which not only helps build an active local music scene but also supports local talent, enterprise and business.” – UK Music, Wish You Were Here 2016 D.

  • Decision on Relevant Merger Situation and Substantial Lessening of Competition
    Completed acquisition by LN-Gaiety Holdings Limited of MAMA & Company Limited Decision on relevant merger situation and substantial lessening of competition ME/6574/15 The CMA’s decision on reference under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 given on 19 February 2016. Full text of the decision published on 7 April 2016. Please note that [] indicates figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. SUMMARY 1. LN-Gaiety Holdings Limited (LN-Gaiety) acquired MAMA & Company Limited (MAMA) on 6 August 2015 (the Merger). LN-Gaiety and MAMA are together referred to as the Parties. 2. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) believes that it is or may be the case that the Parties’ enterprises have ceased to be distinct and that the share of supply test is met. The four-month period for a decision, as extended, has not yet expired. The CMA therefore believes that it is or may be the case that a relevant merger situation has been created. 3. The Parties overlap in the ownership and operation of indoor live entertainment venues in Birmingham, Manchester and London, and the ownership and operation of live music festivals in the UK. The CMA assessed the impact of the Merger in these product and geographic frames of reference. 4. The CMA also considered whether the Merger gave rise to vertical effects where the merged entity could increase the price it charges for venues to rival promoters, increasing their costs and making them less competitive; and/or whether the Merger gave rise to conglomerate effects where the merged entity could foreclose rivals through a tying or bundling strategy.

  • Interview with Christopher E. Brennen
    CHRISTOPHER E. BRENNEN (b. 1941) INTERVIEWED BY SHIRLEY K. COHEN November 19 and 26, and December 3, 2002 Photo by Bob Paz, 1990 ARCHIVES CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California Subject area Mechanical engineering, student affairs Abstract An interview in three sessions, November-December 2002, with Christopher E. Brennen, Hayman Professor of Mechanical Engineering, emeritus, in the Engineering Division. Dr. Brennen, a native of Northern Ireland who eventually became a U.S. citizen, received his undergraduate and graduate education at Oxford (PhD 1967) and came to Caltech as a postdoc in 1969 with Theodore Y. Wu, after a stint with George Gadd at the U.K.’s National Physical Laboratory. At Caltech, he was a research fellow, senior research fellow, and research associate before being appointed associate professor in 1976. He became a full professor in 1982 and received the Hayman chair in 2005, becoming emeritus in 2010. From 1993 to 1998, he was executive officer for mechanical engineering. Dr. Brennen discusses his early work with Wu on locomotion of ciliated microorganisms and his later collaborations with Allan Acosta, Milton Plesset, http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechOH:OH_Brennen_C and Rolf Sabersky, among others. He recalls his early teaching duties and emphasizes his concern with the welfare of Caltech’s undergraduates, in his role as master of student houses (1983-1987), dean of students (1988-1992), and vice president for student affairs (1998-2002). Describes atmosphere at Caltech during the Vietnam War and the height of the drug culture. Concludes with an overview of the careers of his own graduate students and expresses his hope that Caltech will continue working to attract top-level undergraduates.

  • Best Clubs with Live Music in London"
    "Best Clubs with Live Music in London" Créé par: Cityseeker 8 Emplacements marqués Heaven "A Heavenly Gay Nightclub" Belinda Carlisle knew what she was on about when she sang "Heaven is a place on earth" - it's right next to Charing Cross tube, and it's probably London's best-known gay club. As with most popular gay venues, large crowds of straight tourists abound. Heaven has tried to curb this by designating different nights as straight, gay or mixed, but it hasn't really by Public Domain worked. Not that it matters at all, because Heaven is still a blissful venue which puts on a huge variety of club nights. The lounge upstairs provides a bit of friendly chill-out to a golden oldies atmosphere and you can actually talk in here without shouting. It all makes for an interesting and entertaining clubbing experience. +44 20 7930 2020 heaven-live.co.uk/ info@heavennightclublond Villiers Street, Under The on.com Arches, Londres G-A-Y Late "Happening Gay Bar" Sister concern of the famous bar of the same name, G-A-Y Late wins the popularity contest in London's gay scene. Open until 3a, it prides itself on hosting some of the most happening parties exclusively for the gay and lesbian community. Some of the best names in the music business have graced its stage and an exquisite video jukebox keeps your feet tapping by Marler and heart bounding all night. Members enjoy great benefits like free entry, priority entrance and advance bookings. +44 20 7734 9858 5 Goslett Yard, Off Tottenham Court Road, Londres Koko "One of London's Biggest Nightclubs" Koko is one of London's largest club venues and very popular with the student and the local crowd.
