Radiance Films Interview
Set up at the start of 2023 Radiance Films is one of the more recently formed boutique labels, though to date it’s released over a hundred titles. These move all over the film genre map- with a general focus on great & fascinating cinema. Each release- be they single films, or boxsets feature wonderful new scans and a great selection of the most worthy/interesting extras. Behind the company is Francesco Simeoni, the former director of content for Arrow Video. Below is an email interview with Francesco.
Interview With Renaldo M/ Brian Poole
Appearing towards the end of 2023, They Blessed The Body Breadcrumbed was the first solo album from Renaldo M- one-half of the British avant-pop/(off) world music duo Renaldo and the Loaf- who have been peddling their strange sonic wares since the late ’70s. The album stands as one of the late highlights of last year being a wonderful varied & unpredictable thirteen-track affair - which moves between urgent & ethnically odd, through to the percussive & quirky, onto the manic and unsettling, though to the charming & tuneful, to sinisterly disquieting. I managed to get an email interview with Renaldo M- aka Portsmouth-based Brian Poole.
The Wall Noise Of Hana Haruna
The Hana Haruna project started in 2018- initially making crude and brutal walled noise, but as it’s progressed it’s moved more towards layered, detail, and often progressive wall craft with an ambient undercurrent. To date, it’s released over two hundred releases. Behind the project is Ken Jamison from Portland, Oregon who also runs the internet-based noise label Basement Corner Emissions( which we discuss later in the interview), as well as been behind a few other projects. Ken kindly agreed to give us an email interview.
