Notes

From the label website:

Presenting the twentieth release on Bloxham Tapes: ‘Meccano Club’ by BOBBY BARRY.

‘Meccano Club’ was meticulously assembled by BB (also of duo FAR RAINBOW with percussionist Emily Mary Barnett) in 2019 using this idiosyncratic sonic arsenal: electric shaver, three radiators, a kettle, one scouring pad, a pencil and sharpener, a pestle and mortar, two music boxes, plus recordings made in Bắc Kạn, Vietnam; Victoria, Australia; and London, UK.

House-arrest hauntologists and stay-indoors psychogeographers, take note: ’Physics Out Of School Hours’ features the voice of Desmond Briscoe, recorded at his home in 2006. Meanwhile, nocturnal somnambulists, ’Night Falls, Lakeside’…

Contextualising the assemblages… Meccano was a line of model construction kits introduced by Frank Hornby in 1898, using fully functioning gears, axles, wheels and motors. In the early 20th century, Meccano Clubs – for hobbyists to work on projects together and share ideas – spread throughout the UK… Before co-founding the BBC Radiophonic Workshop with Daphne Oram in 1958, Desmond Briscoe was a member of his local Meccano Club whilst attending school in the north of England… May the circuit remain unbroken.

Step into Bobby Barry’s phantasmagoric Room 13, rebuilt by oxide ghosts.
