Langham Research Centre first got together in August 2003, at which point we were all producers at BBC Radio 3. BBC national radio is based in Langham Place in London, which we took for our name, in combination with a cherished album, Raymond Scott’s Manhattan Research Inc.

As well as composing our own music, we have a passion for realising works by great 20th century composers like John Cage, Alvin Lucier, Earle Browne and others, particularly those works which can only be performed by a group working with vintage technology like reel-to-reel tape, phonograph cartridges and oscillators.
