Art in Liverpool FM

It’s my own personal history project stretching back to 2007 – with hundreds of recorded interviews, podcasts and plays. This section of the site is pretty old so don’t expect it to work all the time and ignore it asking for Real Player to be loaded.

So Listener beware!!!

Take you pick from a selection of Liverpool audio guides, its musical history, heritage tours, slavery remembrance tours, and Visit England’s official guide.

With kind permission from Edition Peters, we are able to include Cage’s Water Music performed by Jack Behrens in 1990 at the Winter Music Program at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Canada. Jack lecturers in composition at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Canada and first met Cage in 1960. With the sound of falling water implied as much as presented, Water Music is an important pre-Drip Music work.
