It Was Very Nocturnal
Explicit content warning
01/23/24 • 56 min
A very special episode of The Unlimited Archives mixed, edited and soundtracked by one of Unlimited's longest serving collaborators David Edwards aka electronic music artist Minotaur Shock.
David composed music for many of Unlimited shows and projects since 2008 and when J asked him if we could release the music he’s made as a series of albums or EPs, David went back to all the original tracks and remastered them. And now we’re releasing them all into the world on 26th January 2024 - search it all up on whichever streaming platform you subscribe to on his profile ‘Minotaur Shock’ where we’ve released the soundtracks to 'The Moon The Moon' and 'The Noise' and on our profile ‘Unlimited Theatre’ where we’re releasing everything else including Afrikan Boy’s soundtrack to our 2023 show Ancient Futures.
This episode not only showcases David’s brilliant work with Unlimited over the last 15 years, but the conversation he has with J puts that music into fascinating context AND you get a real insight into how he, as someone who had never worked in theatre before, responded to some of our frankly very strange requests, and made it all.

Previous Episode
A Series of Decisions
J sits down for a cup of tea with Unlimited co-founder and friend Chris Thorpe while trying to remember how they started out, why it's so difficult to make new work collaboratively, how the first play Chris wrote for the company took them all across the world and what it means to have “a career” as a writer. Chris also shares (beautifully) why he wouldn’t change a single thing and offers his advice for anyone starting a company or setting out as a writer now.
If you’ve listened to any of the other episodes you’ll (maybe) notice the music is different in this one and there’s a lot more underscore. Thanks to our sound designer Oliver Spooner who composed all that music and was inspired to include it for this episode because Chris is his one of his godparents and Oli loves him very much.
Welcome to the show. We’re glad you could make it.

Next Episode
It's The Remembering & The Laughing
J visits their dear friend and Unlimited co-founder Clare Duffy in her hometown of Edinburgh and, over a cup of coffee, Clare recalls her most vivid memories of her time with the company. Which includes that time she made J a penis costume to wear in public.
A small correction: when talking about a trip to Papua New Guinea, Clare and J refer to the conflict in Bougainville as having started due to disputes over tin mine - it was actually the Pangua *copper* mine.
