XMTR Radio Hour
[Repeated from Wednesday 10pm.] Do you find yourself stuck in the same channels? XMTR is here to cut through the noise. Hosted by Lucia Scazzocchio from sonic storytelling portal xmtr.fm and Social Broadcasts. This XMTR Radio Hour is a little different. Lucia speaks to Garry Hunter, the director of arts and heritage organisation Fitzrovia Noir, and composer/violinist Jack Campbell about a new commission from the educational foundation that has grown out of the Tommy Flowers community pub in Poplar, East London. The pub’s namesake Tommy Flowers designed and built Colossus, the world’s first programmable electronic computer, to help decipher the encrypted messages sent by the German High Command during WW2. Twenty-three-year-old composer and musician Jack M. Campbell has recently written and extensively performed a piece inspired by Alan Turing’s Bombe. With a bursary from TFF, he has now composed a score responding to Colossus, the computer built by Tommy Flowers to greatly expedite the reading of Lorenz traffic. The code was cracked by mathematician Bill Tutte, who, after the war, went on to teach at two universities in Canada, Jack’s home country. Following the conversation about outsiders, music, algorithms and maths, is an exclusive rendition of this composition: 'Colossus' by Jack Campbell.
