It sometimes
happens but I do not remember at all when this radio show had taken place but
it was approximately either in August or September 2007. What I know for sure
is that the interview with Romain Slocombe was held in March 2007 and was later
published in Timeless Magazine. I don’t remember neither all the music that we
programmed, but it was really great, we focused on crazy Japanese-like music
mixed with songs by Ground Zero, Boris Kovak, Toshiro Mayuzumi, People Like Us,
DDAA, Superstrings, Throbbing Gristle, Ikue Mori, Hint, Gorgonzola Legs, Norma
Loy, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Esplendor Geometrico or Graeme Revell. The show started
and ended with Buddhist mantras and it was dedicated to the theme of Japanese
dolls and prosthetic art, in the company of the great master of these
questions, the writer and photographer, Romain Slocombe. We read excerpts from
some of his books like Brume de Printemps,
Saké de Brume or La
Japonaise de St
John’s Wood. The general atmosphere of it all is quite surrealistic. The
interview was done in a gallery with a church-like reverb, and there’s
traditional Japanese music playing in the background. Very strange.
