I just watched the opening credits of ep 1 on youtube, and I'm hooked already - bbc radiophonic I presume, or at least something similar. Austere and direct and strange at the same time. A problem I have with contemporary documentary series is the dial is constantly set at 'high drama'

I haven't seen Connections, but am going to seek it out now. Along with The Ascent of Man, Life on Earth, and Ways of Seeing, it's from a favourite period of TV for me. It's the seriousness of tone that I love in these, and the breadth of knowledge expectation.

great new podcast about all things Derbyshire (the composer, not the county). And episode 2 features Suzy Mangion in conversation with David Vorhaus, of White Noise fame, and inventor of electronic instruments.

for a comparison of fairness, imagine if 87% tracks on BBC radio were played for free, with absolutely no royalties given to the composers, only to those who were deemed 'successful' enough to receive any. We're expected to provide music for free, and make money from t shirts and adverts on y-tube

according to digital distributors CD Baby, "Last year, 87% of tracks uploaded to streaming platforms didn’t reach 1,000 streams.". Phew. If that's true, then 87% of tracks played on Spotify last year got ZERO streaming payment from Spotify. (they only pay out if you reach 1000) 87%!!!!! 😱😑

A dreadful decision and very depressing. Are all our politicians the puppets of the super rich and powerful?
