We Sink Ships is a collaboration featuring Heidi Kuisma, a Finnish born, Glasgow based photographer and Neil Milton, a Scottish born photographer, musician and record label owner living in Warsaw, Poland. Together they create and curate online photo exhibitions and present weekly podcasts hosted on Radio Magnetic.
On the first Tuesday of every month, We Sink Ships will feature something they love – it might be a band, a label, an artist, a gallery or a venue – then Neil will play out with 45 minutes of electro-disco-wonk-pop.
The following Tuesday each month, We Sink Ships will invite a guest DJ to record a set which will be preceded by an introduction to the guest.
On the 3rd Tuesday of the month, Heidi will take her turn to play some music but not before they’ve discussed a monthly Nick-Hornby-esque top 5.
Finishing off the month, the 4th show will be something a little different; with the return of Neil’s record label, We Sink Ships are presenting the Too Many Fireworks podcast, featuring music from the label, past and present, plus Neil’s latest ambient, minimalist or alternative-classical finds.
In this podcast Heidi has a chat with the owners of Recoat Gallery, Amy Whiten and Ali Wyllie, and Matt Mignanelli, a New York based artist, who is currently exhibiting his paintings in the gallery. They talk about the gallery’s past and future plans and Matt’s artwork, inspiration and plans. This interview is not to be missed! The interview is followed by, not with as expected, a 45 minute mix of electro-disco-wonk-pop, but a 45 minute mix of ambient and classical music. Neil, currently in the UK and playing shows as Beneath Us, The Waves, had little time to create and perform his mix this month so instead, while rehearsing for a DJ show, he recorded some of the music he would be playing live. Normal service will be resumed in May
