Jonny Trunk set up Trunk Records in the 1990s to share his passion for the strangest corners of music's back catalogue, collecting and re-releasing recordings previously forgotten or dismissed, from cult film and TV soundtracks to vintage jazz, educational records, pornographic flexidsics and the work of electronic pioneers such as Tristram Cary and the BBC Radiophonics Workshop.
Jonny also hosts Resonance FM's 'OST' show every Saturday afternoon, playing a mind-boggling array of film and TV soundtracks you probably haven't heard before. We asked him if he could put together a guest mix for Sound and Music, and he very kindly did so – click on the Soundcloud link below to hear it in all its weird and wonderful glory...
