CRAVING FOR LESS: Propaedeutic to failure as an aim to success in a chaotic world.

Georgia
23:00 - 00:00

An hour of the most exciting rap, r&b and club from the underground and mainstream presented by Atlanta's own, Popstar Benny.

The Balustrade Ensemble

The Balustrade Ensemble

The Balustrade Ensemble has been played on NTS in shows including Supporter Radio: On The Road, featured first on 5 August 2023. Songs played include Crushed Pears.

The Balustrade Ensemble are a different proposition altogether. In September 2007, Dynamophone Records unveiled the lavish "steampunk" ambient sounds of Capsules, the group's debut, upon an unsuspecting music world. (Steampunk is a movement interested in exploring the Fantasy/Sci-Fi ideas of authors like H.G Wells and Jules Verne, worlds where anachronistic technologies exist.) Two tracks were contributed to a recent Dynamophone sampler: “Tangle in Delirium” is a ghostly passage with tantalizing pedal steel echoes and arctic guitar slides that point to a Victorian influence; “The Drowning Calm”, meanwhile, recalls some sinister aspects of Walter/Wendy Carlos’ “A Clockwork Orange” score, a film based on an Anthony Burgess novel, that can be defined by inconceivable technological inventions that defy the timeframe. Currently, the group is preparing to record its second full-length, working again in close collaboration with engineer Scott Solter, which it hopes to release in 2010.
