Welcome to Mars
In 2006 I produced a 12 part radio series for Resonance FM and podcast called ‘Welcome to Mars’ . Fast forward to 2008 and the ‘Welcome to Mars’ book written by Ken Hollings, is now available from Strange Attractor Press. There will also be a limited edition run of 250 CD’s with original music and sound design that I composed for the 2006 radio series.

Original radio series text
1947-1959
Ken Hollings presents a live twelve-part series of unscripted reflections on the fantasy of science in the early years of the American Century
With electronic sound production by Simon James
Between 1947 and 1959, the future was written about, discussed and analysed with such confidence that it became a tangible presence. This is a story of weird science, strange events and even stranger beliefs, set in an age when the possibilities for human development seemed almost limitless.

Starting in Europe and finishing up in the Southern Hemisphere, he will be playing vintage tracks from celebrated and overlooked composers from each country.
Look out for special one off programmes.
