      <title>Nick Luscombe: Unity in sound</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>London and Tokyo-based broadcaster, radio producer and soundscape artist NICK LUSCOMBE is one half of MSCTY_Studio, exploring the relationship between sound, music and the physical world. He’s had decades of experience working for household names like the BBC and iTunes, as well as several record labels.</p><p>Tracks featured in this episode: </p><p>Tokyo TR by Nick Luscombe</p><p>Are Plants Electric?

In its heyday, it was, I think, one of the most adventurous, genre-defying, and quietly influential shows on British radio. Airing late at night, it felt like a secret world for curious, open-minded music lovers - a place where boundaries between styles simply dissolved. One moment you might hear medieval choral music, the next Aphex Twin, followed by desert blues from Mali, field recordings, modern classical, experimental jazz, or folk drifting into avant-garde electronica. Nick was one of the show’s three main hosts, and it’s been a huge honour to get to know him and make an episode about his work. When I listened to Late Junction, I was always struck by Nick’s warmth, deep knowledge, and genuine curiosity - and it’s been a joy to experience that same spirit on our show - thanks Nick!

If you ask, she’ll describe how she often watches the fog sweep down over the mountains over the water. </p><p>Away from the chaos of Tokyo, Yumiko has found inspiration in the world around her—in the birdsong, the rivers, the time that opens itself up away from pressing schedules. It’s where she’s found the foundations of her material. </p><p>To Yumiko, the most wonderful music is the sounds made by nature. Many of her compositions and music are inspired by the natural world, based in the kankyō ongaku style of environmental ambient music. Through her compositions and performances, Yumiko attempts to enter a meditative state, becoming a medium where something else plays the music through her. It is a continuous creative process for Yumiko to step away from the ego and make space for the natural sounds that she loves.</p><p>Original music in this episode is by Yumiko Morioka, James Greer and Nick Luscombe.</p>

      <title>Welcome to The Pineapple Eyes Podcast</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What is wonder? Where can we find it and how do we share it? Is it starting the day with a moment of mindfulness, or is it living closer to nature? Perhaps it’s a conversation with a stranger that shifts your perspective. Do we encounter it in grand spectacles, or in the smallest, most human moments? </p><p>We’ve invited friends and collaborators from the Wonderfruit creative community to consider these questions, from musicians to architects to Buddhist teachers, each of different ages and from various backgrounds. Through the window of their lived experiences, we’re exploring a space to be curious, pay more attention and listen to the subtle magic hiding in plain sight.</p><p>“Pineapple eyes” is a well-known Thai proverb that refers to seeing from many viewpoints, just as a pineapple has eyes all over it.
