Russian Woodpecker




















Many years ago my uncle - a keen Radio Amateur (and how that title seems so strange and silly) - would complain about what he called "the Russian Woodpecker". I was young and did not fully understand what he meant, imagining a very real, feathered woodpecker somewhere deep in the tundra pecking at a radio transmitter that somehow interfered with Radio Hams all over the world. I came across the term recently and have produced a ten minute instrumental track using some samples of the dreaded 'pecker.

You can read about the real Russian Woodpecker on wikipedia here.

You can listen - and download for free - my music here.

As always, love to Rachel for the cover art.
