He created and wrote all fifty-three episodes of <em>Ideal<\/em> for the BBC, broadcast from 2005 to 2011, wrote the science-fiction sitcom <em>Nebulous<\/em> for BBC Radio 4, and devised <em>The Nightmare Worlds of H. G. Wells<\/em> for Sky Arts.<\/p>\n<p>Music runs through all of it. He chose the music for seven series of<em> Ideal<\/em> himself; he is the author of <em>Foreground Music: A Life in 15 Gigs,<\/em> an autobiography told through fifteen concerts, and of <em>The Future&#8217;s Here To Stay<\/em>, a study of the singles of The Fall. In 2021 he founded Heaven&#8217;s Lathe, an English label that releases nothing but seven-inch lathe cuts in tiny runs \u2014 records cut one at a time on a lathe rather than pressed.<\/p>\n<p>Before the <em>Mixtape<\/em> he presented <em>Totally Wired<\/em> on Brighton&#8217;s Juice 107.2 in the late nineties, and he has been a regular voice on BBC Radio 4&#8217;s Loose Ends. <strong>Totally Radio<\/strong>, the station that carries his programme today, is an independent online station based in Brighton.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE RECORD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Dimidium Oraculi<\/em>, by Adi Newton &amp; Michael Somerset Ward, is the dark twin of No Ordinary Raconteur: four pieces that take the album&#8217;s materials apart and turn them over \u2014 an industrial techno remix by David Lewin, a rewriting for piano and clarinet, two reworkings by Adi Newton. It is not in distribution, and it is available only together with the album, from the Rizosfera and Rizosfera America sites.<\/p>\n<p>Our thanks to Graham Duff for listening, and for choosing.<\/p>\n<p>The 11 November edition: <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyradio.com\/shows\/mixtape\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/totallyradio.com\/shows\/mixtape<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-220184\" src=\"https:\/\/rizosfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/DimidiumOraculi_dittico-1_foto-07-08-300x167.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rizosfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/DimidiumOraculi_dittico-1_foto-07-08-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rizosfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/DimidiumOraculi_dittico-1_foto-07-08-1024x568.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rizosfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/DimidiumOraculi_dittico-1_foto-07-08-768x426.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rizosfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/DimidiumOraculi_dittico-1_foto-07-08-225x125.jpg 225w, https:\/\/rizosfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/DimidiumOraculi_dittico-1_foto-07-08-703x390.jpg 703w, https:\/\/rizosfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/DimidiumOraculi_dittico-1_foto-07-08-721x400.jpg 721w, https:\/\/rizosfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/DimidiumOraculi_dittico-1_foto-07-08-180x100.jpg 180w, https:\/\/rizosfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/DimidiumOraculi_dittico-1_foto-07-08-260x144.jpg 260w, https:\/\/rizosfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/DimidiumOraculi_dittico-1_foto-07-08-125x69.jpg 125w, https:\/\/rizosfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/DimidiumOraculi_dittico-1_foto-07-08.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIMIDIUM ORACULI<\/strong> \u2014 Adi Newton &amp;
