KEY TAKEAWAYS The sound of the steel forges created a unique soundscape that had a profound effect on Martyn and other musicians from the area. Regardless of what type of music you want to experience you can find it being played somewhere in London. The decision to go down the electronic path arose in part from wanting a way to merge the many different forms of music they liked together. Being exposed to such an eclectic mix of people and experiences has helped Martyn to keep the music he produces fresh and different. It's always evolving. Martyn provides a fascinating insight into how a track is built up element by element. Martyn shares how the process he follows when writing a song has evolved, including the pros and cons of having access to new tools such as software. London is a place of extremes; a blend of small villages. BEST MOMENTS “I can hear that industrial sound in your music.” “As you entered the town, it sounded almost like a heartbeat.” “I like the homogenization of different social strata.” “It seems to me like they're trying to make London into a gated community for rich people .” “Do you like what it evokes in you? … If it doesn't make me feel anything, it goes in the bin.” “I can't ever imagine Tina Turner finding anything difficult to sing.” “There were those who thought electronic music was witchcraft.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://martynwareofficial.co.uk https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/electronically-yours-with-martyn-ware/ https://illustriouscompany.co.uk https://www.inplaceofwar.net HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students.

Hey Strangers, #gta #heaven17 #gta6 Regardless of that increased figure, however, it seems Ware is in no hurry to accept the deal. He confirmed in that tweet that the offer was "still utterly unacceptable," also clarifying that his previous comments about GTA 5's profit were not wholly accurate - the $8.6 billion figure he cited relates to gross revenue, not total profit. Original story: Heaven 17 singer Martyn Ware claims that Rockstar Games only offered $7,500 to use the band's 1983 hit song Temptation in the upcoming GTA 6 "forever" - a proposition he refused because of GTA 5's outlandish success. "I was recently contacted by my publishers on behalf of Rockstar Games [about] the possibility of using [the song] Temptation on the new Grand Theft Auto 6," Ware recently tweeted. ======================================= My other podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw ************************************************** Something Strange https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRjVc2TZqN4&t=4s ************************************************** article links: https://www.gamesradar.com/games/grand-theft-auto/heaven-17-band-member-tells-rockstar-games-to-go-fk-yourself-over-a-dollar7500-gta-6-song-offer-because-gta-5-grossed-dollar86-billion/#:~:text=GTA%206-,GTA%206%20music%20deal%20blasted%20as%20%22utterly%20unacceptable%22%20by%20musician,GTA%205's%20%248.5%20billion%20revenue Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkfdXrEBzDw ====================================== Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discord https://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxq TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoder Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangers Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangers Twitter https://twitter.com/strangestcoder merch Support CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.

We ask a question about bucket gigs to all of our Live Music & Me guests when they join us. We also have a bucket list of guests we would like to get onto our podcast, and Martyn Ware ( Heaven 17, BEF) was on that list. As a musician, composer, arranger, record producer, and music programmer, Martyn has been in the music industry for over 40 years, and we were convinced he would be good company. He was. From his first gig anecdote that involved Marc Bolan and his satin pants, to visiting Neil Young's beach home and checking out his fridge, to giving Clive Davis from Arista the cold shoulder, the stories just kept coming. We also had some wonderful gig recollections too, both those he was at and those he wasn't ( including Live Aid). And to finish, live album recommendations that couldn't be any more eclectic if they tried, and are right up there with the best. Every guest we get takes us back through their life using gigs as reference points, and we are very grateful to Martyn for being so open, honest and entertaining. Enjoy, and stay safe

Martin shares his unfiltered thoughts on a range of topics, including the UK Labour party, his eye-opening visit to Palestine, the challenges faced by the NHS, and the broader global political landscape. No filters —just two people talking about the issues that matter.
Martyn Ware is one of the true pioneers of electronic music both as a founding member of The Human League , Heaven 17 and British Electric Foundation. He's also a highly respected producer with credits including Tina Turner, Terence Trent D'arby and Erasure and most recently a revered podcaster with his brilliant “Electronically Yours” series. I've admired his work tremendously from an early age discovering the League's early work like "Being Boiled", Dave Seaman and I remixed "Temptation" as Brothers In Rhythm in the 90s and we were lucky enough to have Heaven 17 perform at 80s Classical recently so this was such an honour for me to talk to him. Hope you enjoy.

A principios de década el mundo se encontraba en plena ebullición de ritmos, estilos y géneros. El movimiento Punk despertó a toda una generación con inquietudes e ideas nuevas. La New Wave fue uno de los principales movimientos surgidos después del Punk, y su influencia se ha notado durante toda la década, el SynhtPop y el New Romantic son un ejemplo. En este Podcast escuchareis artistas provenientes de la New Wave influenciados por el New Romantic y/o el SynthPop, y viceversa. Comenzamos con los ingleses B-Movie, grupo a mitad de camino entre la New Wave y el SynthPop, su mayor (y prácticamente único) éxito fue el maravilloso “Nowhere Girl”. Originalmente publicado en 1980 sin éxito volvieron a grabarlo y publicarlo dos años más tarde convirtiéndose en un éxito en Europa. A Flock of Seagulls, artistas New Wave originales de Liverpool, estuvieron en activo entre 1979 y 1985. Aquí podréis escucharlos por partida doble, el mega hit “I Ran” y “The More You Live, The More You Love”. Spandau Ballet, uno de los lideres del movimiento New Romantic, procedentes de la discoteca Blitz. Durante sus primeros años se notó la influencia de la New Wave, luego continuaron con mucho éxito entre el pop de consumo y el Blue-Eyed Soul. Aquí podréis escuchar 2 de sus primeros singles. Duran Duran, ejemplo similar a Spandau Ballet, aunque no proceden de la escena del Blitz han hecho suyo el New Romantic, con pinceladas de SynthPop, New Wave y Pop. Vendieron más de 100 millones de copias durante toda su carrera, convirtiéndose en uno de los artistas mas famosos de la década. Podéis escuchar dos singles de su primer álbum. Los londinenses de Ultravox, formados a mediados de los 70s influenciados principalmente por el Post-Punk en sus orígenes y luego de un cambio de formación continuaron hacia el SynthPop barra New Romantic barra New Wave. Aquí suena uno de sus mayores éxitos Dancing With Tears in My Eyes”. Y hablando de Ultravox, cabe mencionar a John Foxx, primer cantante del grupo, quien los abandono al acabar una gira para abocarse en su carrera como solista. Ha tenido algunos singles y discos de éxito, sobre todo en UK. Su mayor éxito fue “Europe After the Rain” que suena en el Podcast. A pesar que muchos recordéis a Kim Wilde como una cantante de Pop, sus comienzos fueron entre el SynthPop y la New Wave. Al día de hoy sigue en activo y uno de sus primeros éxitos fue “Kids in Amerika”. Peter Schilling es un cantante alemán que trascendió su país con el exitazo de 1983 “Major Tom (Coming Home)” una revisión del Space Oddity de Bowie. Fue su único éxito en los USA, convirtiéndolo en un “One-Hit Wonder en aquel país. Antes he mencionado la discoteca Blitz, y no podemos olvidarnos de Visage, combo creado por Steve Strange. Su canción “Mind of a Toy” llegó al Top-20 en el Reino Unido. Real Life, grupo de Synth-Pop, New Wave australiano, publicaron varios LP y singles durante la década, el single más recordado es “Send Me an Angel” aquí podréis escuchar su versión del año 89, la original fue publicada en 1983. En 1984 Giorgio Moroder y Philip Oakey (The Human League) publicaron un single conjunto “Together in Electric Dreams” como banda sonora de la película “Electric Dream”, de esta colaboración surgió un álbum publicado un año más tarde.

HiFi Sean (Sean Dickson) was the singer and main writer of The Soup Dragons, who charted in Europe in 1990 with 'I'm Free', an indie dance cover of the Rolling Stones hit. Later, in 1992, their track 'Divine Thing' was a top 40 hit on the Billboard chart in America. After their first album, 'This is Our Art', the band developed their sound in a more dance and less indie direction. Ten years after the band was founded in 1985, it disbanded. Sean Dickson came out as gay, an event that led to a breakdown, he formed The High Fidelity and. after DJ-ing already earlier in his life, became successful under the name HiFi Sean.Today, he continues to DJ, and make music. HiFi Sean's album Ft. includes tracks by Crystal Waters, Yoko Ono, Dave Ball, Billie Ray Martin (check out her podcast), and David McAlmont, with whom he has already recorded an album that will be released next year.His story is fascinating, and he's able to relate the events in his life with a healthy distance, as someone who is now a happily married gay man.If you like Hifi Sean why not check out these interviews:Billie Ray Martin, the Electronic Series which includes Wolfgang Flür & Martyn Ware, Man Parrish, Dave Dorrell.Connect with me on Instagram; steve.blameFor more on HiFi Sean check out his SoundCloud; https://soundcloud.com/hifi-sean And thanks to POP; The History Makers insanely wonderful talent booker: #ArchieCMichaelSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/pop-the-history-makers-with-steve-blame/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted on Acast.

The first adaptation resulted in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel film. Listener Nick Bunker was listening to Saturday Live a few weeks ago when the writer Lesley Pearse told us how she'd been reunited with the son she'd given up for adoption. He was moved to write to us – as he was adopted as a baby in 1963. Fast forward 54 years later, he received an email and discovered he had a whole family in Australia where they'd emigrated as Ten Pound Poms!

On Electronic Music Cities week - today, Wolfgang Flür. He spent most of his adult life in Düsseldorf. Born in 1947 in post-war Germany, Wolfgang Flür made his name in the band Kraftwerk, a band that was formed in Düsseldorf. The last time I met him was in 1997 when he released his first post-Kraftwerk album with his band Yamo. His latest album, Magazine 1, is a masterpiece, a mixture of old and new, a commentary on today's world, and also that of post-war Düsseldorf, from Flür's perspective. In this interview, we talk about his own personal history, about his plea for pacifism in Say No! through the Wolfgang Borchert poem of the same name, and the track Birmingham, the home base of his main collaborator on this album, Peter Duggal. He also talks about how Trans Europe Express inspired him to make his track Night Drive, and his emotional final meeting with ex-Kraftwerk bandmate, Florian Schneider, in Düsseldorf where he continues to reside today.Electronic Cities - Podcast Interview with Sébastien Darchen is also online.As well as with Martyn Ware, Mark Reeder, and WestBam from the Electronic Cities of Europe.More info about Flür here: https://www.facebook.com/WolfgangFlur1Connect with me on Instagram; steve.blameSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/pop-the-history-makers-with-steve-blame/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted on Acast.

A recording of a conversation I had with Martyn in 2021. We discussed the back catalogue of H17, the Human League, his work, teaching and, of course, a little bit about history.
Martyn Ware, a man of many talents: English musician, composer, producer, & podcaster, is a founding member of the synth-pop groups Human League & Heaven 17. He's also an explorer of immersion & 3-D sound. Charlie Morrow discusses their mutual interest in immersion, both the technological & the psychological aspects...
I was so grateful to have had the opportunity to chat with presenter of the semi-self titled show 'Electronically Yours with Martyn Ware'. If you're very observant then you may notice that at a certain point I decide to change the whole feel and flow of the show, as I thought that it would be disrespectful to rush through Martyn's history by getting to the subject of his show. Even in this episode I feel that we only touched the surface on the great work that Martyn has done in his career, as a member of the Human League, Heaven 17, and B.E.F. (British Electric Foundation), as well as an innovator with the work he has conducted in noise abatement, and interactive art exhibitions. As a producer he has worked with artists such as Tina Turner, Sananda Matreiya (formerly known as Terence Trent D'Arby), Erasure, Sandie Shaw, and many others.

In this episode we're thrilled to host Simon Reynolds, beamed in from his adopted Southern California. One of the most outstanding music writers of the past three and a half decades, Simon talks to us about his formative pop years; his own early fanzines Margin and Monitor; and the sea-change he (and others) brought to Melody Maker in the late '80s.Simon's fascinating and passionate Pitchfork piece 'Worth the Wait' (2014) is the springboard for a general discussion of the peak years of the MM, the NME and the general phenomenon of the UK's weekly music press. The conversation turns to what's been lost in the digital/internet era, but also what's been gained.One of Simon's fellow Melody Maker scribes was Bob Stanley, which affords us the excuse to rhapsodise about Bob's neo-retro meta-pop trio Saint Etienne. With their latest album I've Been Trying To Tell You due for imminent release, Simon and Barney reminisce happily about the impact of their glorious 1991 debut Foxbase Alpha.The week's new audio interview — Adam Blake's 1988 conversation with Heaven 17 — takes us even further back in pop time, to the Sheffield group's 40-year-old (and still highly impressive) Penthouse & Pavement album... and to a more general discussion of proto-synthpop and the first edition of the Human League. We hear two clips of (mainly) Martyn Ware speaking: one about the challenges of promoting themselves, the other about their scorn for the Top 40 radio fodder of the day (with particular venom reserved for Messrs. Stock, Aitken & Waterman). There's a brief but related digression on the previous week's audio, Steven Daly's 1990 interview with hitmaker-for-hire Diane Warren.From there it's a not-so-seamless segue to the sad losses of maverick Jamaican producer Lee "Scratch" Perry and Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, with attendant discussions of dub & roots reggae — and of the central importance of Mr. Watts to everything that was great about peak-period Stones.Mark talks us out with his thoughts on (and quotes from) new library pieces about Dylan at Forest Hills, Bowie at Winterland, Donna Summer and the Smiths, and Jasper concludes matters with remarks on St. Vincent and the wonderful cover of Marvin Gaye's I Want You.Many thanks to special guest Simon Reynolds; find his blog at blissout.blogspot.com.Pieces discussed: Worth the Wait, Saint Etienne, Heaven 17 audio, Diane Warren audio, Lee "Scratch" Perry (Vivien Goldman), Lee "Scratch" Perry (Simon Reynolds), Charlie Watts, Kim Fowley, David Bowie, The Faces, AC/DC, Donna Summer, Bob Dylan, Laura Nyro, The Smiths, St. Vincent, Marvin Gaye and Tessa Violet.

Mark talks us out with his thoughts on (and quotes from) new library pieces about Dylan at Forest Hills, Bowie at Winterland, Donna Summer and the Smiths, and Jasper concludes matters with remarks on St. Vincent and the wonderful cover of Marvin Gaye's I Want You.

In this episode we're thrilled to host Simon Reynolds, beamed in from his adopted Southern California. One of the most outstanding music writers of the past three and a half decades, Simon talks to us about his formative pop years; his own early fanzines Margin and Monitor; and the sea-change he (and others) brought to Melody Maker in the late '80s.Simon's fascinating and passionate Pitchfork piece 'Worth the Wait' (2014) is the springboard for a general discussion of the peak years of the MM, the NME and the general phenomenon of the UK's weekly music press. The conversation turns to what's been lost in the digital/internet era, but also what's been gained.One of Simon's fellow Melody Maker scribes was Bob Stanley, which affords us the excuse to rhapsodise about Bob's neo-retro meta-pop trio Saint Etienne. With their latest album I've Been Trying To Tell You due for imminent release, Simon and Barney reminisce happily about the impact of their glorious 1991 debut Foxbase Alpha.The week's new audio interview — Adam Blake's 1988 conversation with Heaven 17 — takes us even further back in pop time, to the Sheffield group's 40-year-old (and still highly impressive) Penthouse & Pavement album... and to a more general discussion of proto-synthpop and the first edition of the Human League. We hear two clips of (mainly) Martyn Ware speaking: one about the challenges of promoting themselves, the other about their scorn for the Top 40 radio fodder of the day (with particular venom reserved for Messrs. Stock, Aitken & Waterman).

From her own solo albums to composing soundtracks like Game of Thrones: The Last Watch, or to orchestrating and conducting for artists like Paul Weller, her work is ambitious, forward-looking, always adapting and re-inventing new genres and hybrid musical forms.

In 1978, he released Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, his musical adaptation of H. G. Wells' science-fiction novel The War of the Worlds, which went on to become a much-loved theatrical science fiction extravaganza, touring the world for decades. Wayne wrote approximately 3,000 advertising jingles in the 1970s which appeared on television in the United Kingdom, notably a Gordon's Gin commercial which was covered by Martyn in The Human League. His film, advertising and TV compositional work is still in demand almost 50 years later. He has also created a version of Spartacus for the stage, and he continues to push entertainment boundaries with versions of his work as computer games and most recently as immersive theatre and virtual reality. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Martians are coming! Send for Jeff Wayne…
Any list of synth pioneers would include the great Martyn Ware. He's basically devoted his life to seeing what that machine is capable of. He starts out in Sheffield forming the Human League with pals Ian Craig Marsh and Phil Oakey, but after two ambitious albums, the band splits. Phil stays put, but Martyn and Ian get with Glenn Gregory and form Heaven 17, birthing classics like "Let Me Go", "Temptation" and many others. Martyn's career as a producer is also taking off as he works with Terence Trent D'Arby, Erasure, and Tina Turner who jump-started her major comeback when she sang on his B.E.F. project. These days, Martyn has one of the best podcasts out there, Electronically Yours, where he talks to all kinds of legends and peers. We get our hands dirty discussing all of this and much much more. Enjoy! www.heaven17.com www.patreon.com/thehustlepod
Tomorrow's guest on Electronically Yours with Martyn Ware is the one and only Boy George. Is there anyone who loves pop music worldwide who doesn't know George O'Dowd?

His unique take revolutionised mainstream pop sensibilities at that time, and George's exceptional songwriting talent and beautiful voice ensured a string of top ten hits around the world. Later, his musical Taboo received a Tony Award and to this day his TV appearances and stellar popularity ensures he is never far from our thoughts...

We travel to Brazil where the country's president Jair Bolsanaro, who has previously compared the virus to ‘just a flu,’ has said the worst of the crisis is over - despite the country just seeing its largest ever daily increase in death toll.

Episode 104: In Conversation with Tony Miracle of Venus Hum As was famously said in Monty Python's Flying Circus, "And now for something completely different..." Yes, Brian and Sarah should be talking about Depeche Mode's album Violator in this episode. But instead, they present to you their first-ever interview! Tony Miracle has worked in the music industry for over 25 years as a musician, songwriter, producer, and remixer. In the early 2000s he was one-third of the wonderful synthpop group Venus Hum, and he's also released electronic music under the moniker Satellite City and his own name. And if that's not enough, he's also a graphic designer! With a resume like that, it should come as no surprise that Brian and Sarah found plenty of things to discuss with Tony. He shared many interesting tales from his past and graciously answered numerous questions from our hosts. And during the course of the conversation, he mentioned several names that should be quite familiar to listeners of this podcast: Thomas Dolby, Martyn Ware, and Vince Clarke! So you definitely won't want to miss those stories! You can check out Tony's website at http://www.tonymiracle.com/ To learn more about the terrific music of Venus Hum, visit http://www.venushum.com/ And to treat yourself to the fantastic music you heard in this episode, visit Tony and Venus Hum at http://venushum.bandcamp.com.

Radio ditto presents Campfire, where we talk to inspiring folk from the worlds of tech, art and culture.In this episode, we have an honest chat with Martyn Ware, musician, composer, record producer, and music programmer. In his iconic career, he has written, performed and produced two Human League, two BEF and nine Heaven 17 albums. As a record producer and artist he has featured on recordings totalling over 50 million sales worldwide, producing amongst others Terence Trent D’Arby, Chaka Khan, Erasure, Marc Almond and Mavis Staples. Notably he helped to revitalise Tina Turner’s career in 1983 with “Let’s Stay Together”. Radio ditto host Mike Wilson talks with Martyn, as he shares his journey from humble beginnings in Sheffield, dropping out of school to help support his family, and how his downtime between working night shifts gave him the opportunity to experiment with electronic music - creating the track ‘Being Boiled’ which sold 5000 copies by word of mouth and gained airtime from John Peel, attracting the attention of Virgin Records and EMI. We ask how Martyn dealt with the transition of art to business and what happens to creativity when commercials come into play. Martyn also shares how he wrote, recorded and produced The Human League’s first two albums ‘Travelogue’ and ‘Reproduction’, along with tensions that arise within a creative enterprise, and how to bounce back with vigour. He also shares his success with Heaven 17 – we look forward to having Martyn back for a second episode of Campfire to talk more about the new wave and synth-pop duo.Martyn will be performing ‘Travelogue’ and ‘Reproduction’ albums in their entirety for the first time ever, at sold out shows at the Roundhouse and Sheffield City Hall in September. Before COVID-19 outbreak banning travel and public gatherings, Martyn also had a tour booked in Germany in April and a US tour in May.Join Martyn online for ‘Digital Campfire – Big Boost Mondays - Martyn Ware - ‘Travelogue’ and ‘Reproduction’’ on April 6th at 6pm as he takes us through the archives during a live interview with video footage, photographs and special content – sign up for free here https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/4084566256106027275
In this episode Gary Mansfield talks to sound artist Martyn Ware (@martynware), music producer and founding member of both Human League & Heaven 17. Martyn co-curated ReAnimate, an exhibition of sound spread over several rooms of the National Portrait Gallery where several artists were invited to create sound portraits, as part of the Late Shift Extra events. For The National Trust’s One and All project Martyn created What Does the Sea Say?, an interactive soundscape housed within a typical British beach hut. Although recordings were made by the sea, this work travelled around the UK. Martyn’s latest creation is an urban soundscape is entitled; Everything Old is New Again which accompanied the visual experience of the Forest of Imagination in Bath during the summer of 2019, where statements made by the old were read aloud by the young and vice versa (a link for which is found below). https://soundcloud.com/martynware/everything-old-is-new-again-stereo-binaural For more information of Martyn’s sound installations, past and present visit; www.illustriouscompany.co.uk Martyn is touring throughout 2019 with Heaven 17 For full line up of confirmed artists go to www.mizogart.com Email: podcast@mizogart.com Social Media: @mizogart

Martyn Ware joins me on the second of three special podcast episodes in collaboration with the National Festival of Making. We're waking the ghosts of Tony's Empress Ballroom, home of the Northern Soul all nighter for the wonderful 'Church of Rare Souls' soundscape. As part of Art in Manufacturing season 2, an electronic music pioneer takes us on a journey, explaining why retaining creative integrity saw him transition from selling over 50 million records as a musician and producer with the likes of Tina Turner, Erasure and his own Human League and Heaven 17 to limitless artistry of his own design, why taking the easy cash can be fatal for our happiness. Creating sonic murals and exhibitions worldwide with Illustrious Company, he explains why staying true to yourself if critical to progression in the arts and how today, he works with purity. Join us as Martyn explains why he's been inspired by the work ethic in Blackburn at WEC, Silent Night, Cherrytree Bakery, Graham and Brown and Darwen Terrecotta and how that led him to the weekend, Northern Soul dancing and the haunting Tony's Empress Ballroom.
