Collections
Continuum
Record collections and original work from artists with decades of independent musical practice.
Long working lives leave traces in a record collection. These contributions come from artists whose practices began in the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s, across tape music, sound art, post-punk and early electronics. Their selections let us hear the records, places and encounters that continued to matter to them.
The selection includes artists’ own recordings as well as mixes of other people’s music. Each contribution keeps its original credit and publication date. These are individual listening histories: years of work provide the connection, while the accompanying notes explain the place of each recording.
In this selection
9 recordings / 2014–2021 
Asmus Tietchens
Tietchens began experimenting with tape and electronic sound in 1965. His contribution opens the record collection of a musician whose electroacoustic work has developed over several generations.
Clock DVA
Compiled by Adi Newton, whose work with Clock DVA began in late-1970s Sheffield. Tape music, jazz, soundtracks and electronic pop share a place in his listening history.
Frans de Waard
Active since 1984, de Waard connects experimental music with collecting, writing and independent publishing. His annotated selection follows first purchases, friendships and the records that stayed with him.
Moniek Darge
Darge joined the Logos Ensemble in 1970. Her own recordings from 1984–2014 bring decades of attentive listening to domestic, public and sacred spaces into one sequence.
Ike Yard
Formed in New York in 1979, Ike Yard connected post-punk with early machine rhythms. This contribution opens the group’s record collection and the wider listening behind its own work.
Drew McDowall
McDowall’s path runs from late-1970s avant-punk through Coil to his own electronic music. His selection brings that long experience to a personal sequence of records.
O Yuki Conjugate
Formed in Nottingham in 1982, O Yuki Conjugate made their first-ever mix for this contribution. Both musicians’ tastes meet in a response to Melanie Smith’s films of South and Central American jungles.
Das Ding
Danny Bosten’s work grew from the early-1980s cassette underground. His mix joins records, dialogue and radio fragments in a restless, politically charged sound collage.
Presented in original publication order. A selection of long musical practices, open to further discoveries.
