  • Dead Air Spaces - Mark Vernon

    19th November 2017 @ 1:00 am - 2:00 am

    programme/artist information

    ‘Dead Air Spaces’ – a live radio work created for Radio Revolten. Recorded at the Radio Revolten Club on Tuesday, 25th October 2016.

    ‘Dead Air Spaces’ is a new radio work that explores one of the most basic but vital of our bodily functions – breathing. It includes interviews with diving instructors, a singer, an organist and a yoga teacher and recordings of breathing exercises, snoring, pneumatic tube systems, purring cats, suction units and scuba-divers along with mechanical processes analogous to the human respiratory system such as church organs, bellows and hospital ventilators. The piece also incorporates the use of bi-nasal microphones, a balloon repurposed as an artificial lung and variety of pipes, tubes, whistles and other apparatus played live.

    A ‘dead air space’ in diving terminology, refers to air that doesn’t play a part in the gas exchange with the lungs; air left over in the snorkel, regulator or even the throat containing greater levels of carbon dioxide.

  • Commence Exuding The Opaque Vapour - Barry Burns

    19th November 2017 @ 2:00 am - 7:00 am

    programme/artist information

    For the last five years I have taken a sample from every video I watch on my laptop. As a tip of the hat to William Burroughs and Robert Anton Wilson I take the sample from the 23rd minute. Each sample is arranged and layered chronologically, constructing an aleatory narrative, a random DJ mix of dialogue, music and foley, a self portrait of viewing habits and memory. VHS rips merge with Blu Ray restorations, youtube binges mingle with abandoned box sets.

    Barry Burns is not the bloke out of Mogwai, its a different, unsuccessful one. He is the co-manager of Radiophrenia and has used his immense power to give himself the highly coveted 5am slot.

    1. Jamie Livingstone – Miming

    Puddle Rainbows Missed is a poetry EP by Jamie Livingstone produced by future garage and techno DJs Blackboxx and Acidtone. It centres around the idea of the Mandelbrot Set and iterative patterns. How do these forms commune with the brittle, coarse and tender everyday muck? What are people up to with cucumbers? Who knows anyway? It’s poems mixed with samples. It’s sound and shape.

    I started writing poetry when Mr Harrington read us Yeats and almost stopped when I heard what age he lost his virginity.
    Yeats, that is, not Mr Harrington.
    Who knows what he gets up to.
    I am 26. Yeats was 31. I live in Oban. I have no children. I have a full set of teeth.

    2. Simon Cotton – Portheras

    This is a large sandy bay known for its rough seas, in this piece Max Msp was used to model a Sho, a Japanese drone instrument that produces shifting tone clusters reminiscent of an ocean swell, this is combined with a field recording of the site.

    I am a composer/sound designer based in Cornwall, I am concerned with the relationship between music and noise and I explore this through field recording and generative music, produced with Max Msp. I am heavily influenced by landscape and environment and much of my work relates to specific locations.
    I have also had a long term interest in producing music for visual media and have a BA in scoring for film and TV.

    3. Vincent Eoppolo – False Awakening

    I view my works as a synthesis of various sound art traditions including musique concrete, acousmatic music and radio art.

    In my work I strive to present brief moments of the world we are living in. Society in the continuing process of realizing itself. Our relationship with each other, with technology, our morality, spirituality, sexuality, our anxieties and fears. In many ways my works are like sociological and psychological commentaries. My work has been featured on Bernard Clarke’s program Nova on RTE’s Lyric FM, Phaune Radio from Montpellier, France as well as Radio Art International on CHOQ Radio in Montreal. My works were recently presented at the 2017 New York City Electro-Acoustic Music Festival.

    4. Marjorie van Halteren and Jeff Gburek – Lives of the Poets Two

    He’s in Poland, she’s in Northern France. Two Americans abroad, mapping the mysterious triangular territory of sound recording, instrument creation and poetry across the continent.
Working with voice, guitar, percussion, samples, invented instruments and words, their work features sounds of this world, of other worlds, philosophic crosstalk, voice-as- texture, bird tongues, field recording requiems, ancient drumming, voices on the edge of sleep…exploring sound/music/text in equal balance….

    5. The Doll – Subvadar Dictaphones

    The Doll has been making hideous solo sounds since 2005. Her no-fi aesthetic is a hit with toddlers. The Doll also has a sideline in field recording, diapercore & household appliances.
    She has recently been playing in Seattle noise improv bands TBA & PUNTERS and Auckland bands Septithe & Unknown Tofu. Her US/Aotearoa collective project, Contact Mike, has over 40 band members aged 14 months and up.

    “The Doll can be constituted by mixing 3 parts experiment, 4 parts noise, 1 part ritual, and 2 parts theatre, with a pinch of space dust.” – Alt Music

    6. Nick Prior – Jihanki

    Jihanki (Vending Machines): I’ve been fascinating by vending machines from my very first visit to Japan. Every field sample in this piece derives from vending machines found across Tokyo. They represent the internal sonic world of clicks, electromagnetic waves, beeps and drones that can be heard using a simple telephone coil pickup microphone. The composition is in two parts: in the first part, the vending machine is a kind of gigantic glitch machine on the verge of sentience and breakdown; in the second, it is an ambient device that generates a drone reminiscent of Scottish bagpipes and church organs.

    Nick Prior is a sociologist of music based at the University of Edinburgh. He is author of a number of written works exploring the impact of digital technologies on popular music, including a forthcoming book, Popular Music, Digital Technology and Society (Sage, 2018). He is a part-time musician and was visiting research fellow at the University of Tokyo of the Arts in 2017, where he composed and performed three new works, “Three Tokyo Pieces”. This is the second of those pieces.

    7. Hagai Izenberg – Chronicle 1

    Chronicles is a weekly format of works that attempt to trace the sounds and happenings on a weekly basis and compress them to 4-5 minutes of sonic experience. Fresh raw materials were collected every week including field recordings, samples from radio & tv and recordings sent by listeners of RadioArt program by Meira Asher on 106fm, who featured the project. It includes 6 episodes (total of 30 minutes) of 6 weeks from Oct 6th till Nov 17th, 2016 and attempts to capture everyday sounds together with the daily news & events, tragedies and political discourse next to advertisements and entertainment.

    Hagai is a sound artist, composer and musician and a founder member of the electronic duo Rendezvous. Born in 1978, he lives and works in Israel. His work focuses on collecting and combining field recordings together with radio broadcasting, using sounds we’re exposed to every day in the public and domestic spheres, often in passing or involuntarily. The result is a multi-layered restless composition created in real-time, using pre-recorded sound objects and live sources; a compressed sonic experience of our daily lives.

    8. Garrett Tiedemann – Last Thursday (in Fragments) Episode 1 – It started with a drawing

    In 2015 Don Chambers hosted “a music and other things entertainment” each month called The Last Thursday. Each month had its own theme and governed not only the types of content, but way of presentation for the evening. These evenings lived and died in the moment with very little social media promotion or archiving.
    In series 2 of The White Whale we offer snippets of these evenings; providing first glimpses beyond the nights of what went down and why their existence foregoing online permanence is important. Visit http://www.donchambersmusic.com/ for music and more.

    Garrett Tiedemann is a radio producer, journalist, filmmaker and composer. He works for American Public Media covering the breadth and depth of composed music for YourClassical and Classical Minnesota Public Radio while also producing films, music videos, music and the podcast The White Whale via his production company CyNar Pictures. As a freelancer, he has lent production and compositional approaches to the podcasts Vanishing Ink, Here Be Monsters, The Organist, ARRVLS, Life of the Law, and Top Score. Additionally, he manages production and strategy for the oral history/storytelling project SisterStory.

  • Access & Restrictions - Magali Daniaux and Cédric Pigot

    19th November 2017 @ 9:30 am - 10:00 am

    programme/artist information

    A private clinic located in a castle, a machine built especially to be use for nothing, a journey into Roger and Nelly’s head. A Sci-Fi story with psychedelic overtones.

    Since they met in 2001, the Magali Daniaux and Cédric Pigot’s joint work bears the dual hallmark of experimentation and performance. Their pieces bring together various media, associating elements from opposite ranges, with a taste for connections between Sci-Fi and documentary forms, high-tech engineering and fantasy tales, heavyweight materials and fleeting sensations. Starting with installations and objects, their work soon included experimental actions and more immaterial artistic gestures. Videos, sound art, music, poetry, olfactive research, virtual works bordering the digital arts have formed, over the past years, a cycle of works dealing with climate change, economic, political and geo-strategic issues, urban development and food management. They are currently working in Alaska on land art projects dealing with time, archaeology, geology and climate change.

    Their work was shown in leading institutions and festivals : Terminal B, in kirkenes – Norway, in 2017, Cosmoscow, in moscow in 2017, festival acce)s(, in Pau, 2016, Musée du Jeu de Paume in Paris in 2014, Venice Biennial of Architecture in Italy in 2014, Barents Spektakel in 2013 in Norway, Ultima Festival, at Oslo Opera in 2011, Palais de Tokyo in Paris in 2011, Qui Vive International Biennial in Moscow in 2010 and Dashanzi Art Festival in Beijing in 2004

     


  • different time different place different pitch: Under The Pavement Lies The Strand - Dani Gal & Achim Lengerer

    19th November 2017 @ 10:00 am - 10:45 am

    programme/artist information

    A conversation about music and feminism. With Angi Domdey and Antje Greye.

    A series of radio programs By Dani Gal and Achim Lengerer. Originally commissioned by Documenta 14.

    The radio is an acousmatic instrument. Listeners do not see the origin of the sound,
    their experience is shaped both by the their own interpretation, and the manipulation
    of the producer in a political system.

    Our programs work on the space between documentary and Musique concrète.
    Each show focuses on political events that are connected to acoustic events. This
    creates an acousmatic documentary where the programs become sound-objects.
    The programs response to the ‘image saturated society’ discourse, by asking what is
    the function of sound as a document in times of live video feeds that can be broadcast
    by anyone.

    Dani Gal (born 1975, Jerusalem) lives and works in Berlin. He studied at the Bezalel
    Academy for Art and Design in Jerusalem; the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende
    Künste Städelschule in Frankfurt; and the Cooper Union in New York. His flms and
    works have been shown widely, including: Documenta 14, 54th Venice Biennale
    (2011), The Istanbul Biennale (2011), The New Museum New York (2012),
    Kunsthalle St. Gallen Swizerland (2013), The Jewish museum New York (2014),
    Berlinale Forum Expanded (2014), Kunsthaus Zurich (2015) Kunsthalle Wien (2015)
    And more.

    Achim Lengerer works on political questions of speech and language that he
    thematizes in performances, radio plays or spatializes within installations and
    publications. Lengerer founded different collaborative projects such as freitagsküche
    in Frankfurt a. M. and voiceoverhead, with Dani Gal. Since 2009 Lengerer runs the
    Berlin based showroom and publishing house Scriptings. Different Artists are invited
    – all of which are working with the formats of script and text within their processes of
    production. Lengerer is currently working on his Ph.D. at Goldsmiths, University of
    London, UK, on the format of the rehearsal as an actual format for socio-political
    negotiations.

    2. Niall Morris Rachel Woodside – Rapunzel

    The love child of a Scottish-Northern Irish cross community project. Words never spoken pass from star-crossed lovers’ lips as a single voice, birthed from complex algorithms, navigating the waters of romance. A voice synthesis algorithm utilising machine learning techniques to ‘clone’ a human voice has been trained using two datasets: one from each of the artists. The aim of this process is to amalgamate our voices into one digital representation: attempting to make ‘2 Become 1’. This work uses the karaoke backing track for the Spice Girl’s 1996 single 2 Become 1 , and features the output of the aforementioned process performing vocals.

    Niall Morris (b. Glasgow, 1991) is a musician and software developer living and working in Glasgow. I make work concerned with radio, time experience, technology and performance.

    Rachel Woodside (b. Belfast, 1995) is an artist studying, working and living in Glasgow. My sculptural based practice uses form, colour and scale to tackle issues surrounding accessibility of work for both brains and bodies.

    3. Neal Beggs – Event Two: (audio file without printer track)

    Transpositions of a recording made of the sound created by my printer, printing a jpg image of a low frequency sound wave vibrating water. The length of each file is the time it took to print the image. This work resulted from a proposition by Isabelle Sordage.

    5. Sabrina Rogers – Tentram: Composition 3

    Tentram is a game, virtual reality environment, and adaptive composition. Presented here is an enveloping, tranquil sound world for virtual reality game space. The concept for Tentram is to create a calming environment using adaptive composition and visuals based on the design of a Japanese Zen garden. This project can be experienced in several ways – as a composition, a virtual reality game with user interaction in real time, and as an audiovisual experience. Tentram explores the possibilities of creating a soothing space in the medium of virtual reality, using sound design and music to help evoke a sense of calm.

    I am a sound designer and violinist, based in Edinburgh. I have recently finished studying for my masters degree in Sound Design at the Univerity of Edinburgh. I’ve been interested in audio for many years and studied Music Technology and Sonic Arts at Queens Univerity for my undergraduate degree. I am enthusiastic about adaptive audio-visual work, interactive systems, and virtual reality.

    7. Simon Cotton – lamorna drive by

    Lamorna is a wooded valley bisected by a road, this piece was inspired by the contrast between the woodland ambience and intermittent traffic noise. It is a mix of field recording, electronica and shakuhachi performance.

    I am a composer/sound designer based in Cornwall, I am concerned with the relationship between music and noise and I explore this through field recording and generative music, produced with Max Msp. I am heavily influenced by landscape and environment and much of my work relates to specific locations.

  • The Buffer Zone with Cédric Elisabeth - Le Son De La Ville

    19th November 2017 @ 11:30 am - 12:00 pm

    programme/artist information

    (1) Cédric Elisabeth – Le Son De La Ville (15:15)

    The inspiration for « Le son de la ville » is the sounds from the city, how it sounds so be alive in the city, how it feels to be in the city and sometimes wanting to escape the city. The sounds I have recorded are sounds I have discovered while reflecting about how it feels to be in the city, the sounds that was more appealing to me was the sounds of nature in the city like the sound of the water, raining, quiet moment in the city, or the small forest landscapes around christiania. The city keeps us alive and we get caught in the busy life and forget what is the best for us, what sounds that is good for us. How to differ from different sounds and focus on one sound. Listen to the sound of the rain, and the different sounds of silence. With this sounds I want to express myself and share my emotions about the sounds of the city and make people more aware of what is important.

    Cédric Elisabeth is from Paris, and started to design sound for one aspiration: ILLUSION. He concentrates his work on linking music to different situations from fashion and art projects to cinema. Through his creations he wants people to be moved and taken to different level of feelings.

    programme/artist information

    Eliane was my step-mother. She died last year from Alzheimers. In this piece I’d like to explore radio’s potential to evoke memory, disorientation and memory loss. Using her favorite songs on tape. And other memories. Sounds. Texts. Hers, mine. Ours.

    Asking: In the end, is there anything to remember at all?

    With the voices of François Cau, Isabelle Hainaud Griffiths, Eliane Ravanat, Gilbert Ravanat and Isabelle Stragliati.

    Isabelle Stragliati is a sound artist, field recordist, radio producer, musician and dj living in Grenoble (France). Coming from the visual arts, she turned to the sound medium in 2002 through DJing, as an extension of her approach of the film editing (under the moniker Rescue). She then practiced numerous aspects of radio production (as radio host, producer, music programmer, technician and program director) before reconciling it with her creative work. Her productions, involving field recording, documentary, musique concrète or techno, have been broadcast on national and international radio networks, in festivals and events in Europe and in contemporary art centers.

    12. Chandeliers – “Orders” OST: Return to the Diamond

    1. Chandeliers – “Orders” OST: Buddies

    Chandeliers have been making artful yet accessible kaleidoscopic electronic music for 12 years, putting a twist on avant-garde, electronic, and film music influences. Their music has received praise from THE WIRE, The Quietus, 20Jazzfunkgreats, and Pitchfork. Utilizing a plethora of analog synthesizers, organs, samplers, and tradition percussion they create electronic music with the dynamic of an ensemble and a more defined organic feel. A brand new full-length “Law of Fives” is due October 2017 on the freshly minted Potions Music NYC imprint.

    http://www.thechandeliers.com

    2. Paul Hughes – ‘Thema, ‘Omaggio a Joyce’ originally composed by Luciano Berio

    Between the years of 1958 – 1959 Luciano Berio composed an electroacoustic composition known as ‘Thema (Omaggio a Joyce)’. The Composition is based on the poem “Sirens” from chapter 11 of the landmark novel Ulysses by Irish Writer James Joyce.

    To attempt the re-creation of this innovative landmark composition i used a Revox B77 reel-to-reel tape recorder in order to create similar effects. Using the Revox B77 reel-to-reel tape recorder i learnt how to edit waveforms, apply reverb, multi-layering and speeding up or slowing down the spoken text of the composition. I also used the modern software package Pro Tools as a canvas for re-structuring the composition – blending past and present ideas. I wanted to replicate the original by using a female voice. ‘Thema (Omaggio a Joyce)’ blurs the borders of language and sound, poetry and music and speech and noise. Each element morphing into one another giving the listener a unique bizarre unforgettable listening experience.

    3. Pytchblend – DNA-land (aka DNA⊥AИⱭ)

    4. Seth Rozanoff – Qu-extensions

    Qu-Extensions (2016) was built upon personal encounter. My sound design was informed by audio samples taken by artist Jamie Russom. Qu-Extensions is a solo for laptop and drum-machine, which I had adapted from an initial duo performance with Russom. My new performance system would organize Jamie’s samples differently than before, aiming to highlight seemingly meditative and tranquil combinations of timbres, resulting from my improvisation with the laptop. Among this improvisation, I fixed a small set of samples, which take the role of creating form and structure. The resulting performance achieves an interaction of noise, freedom, and idiosyncrasy.

    Seth Rozanoff is currently living in Glasgow, where he received a Phd at the University of Glasgow. He previously lived in Belfast, Amsterdam, and Sao Paulo after leaving New York City in 2010. Rozanoff’s work sets up a range of performative, musical, and compositional relationships. The resulting interaction is managed through either a range of scores, studio techniques, and live electronic performance. Future projects include, a series of solo works for drum machine, sampler, laptop, and video; a work for percussion and electronics with Ruud Roelofsen; and a piano and electronics work for Adam Tendler.

    5. Sydney Kasahara – c906_INTEROG

    A narrative where the listener hears an “excerpt” from an interrogation with a possible robot. There’s a little mystery element to it. Try to listen behind what’s going on in the foreground; try to find or figure out what C-906 is trying to say.

    I’m Sydney K., and I’ve just graduated from UCSC with a double major in film and literature. I currently reside in LA, where I write and direct horror shorts. After taking a Sound workshop by Anna Friz, I found the joyous and complex nature of sound designing, and have fallen in love. I’m slowly exploring my instincts in designing these sort of radio play/radio experience pieces, and want to get more involved in it.

    6. Matthew Grouse – Ritalin

    ‘Ritalin’ is part of series of pieces exploring different mental conditions and examining human behaviour. This piece specifically looks at Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. I have aimed to explore possible catalysts for inattention through the use of sound material, with links to education, technology and social anxiety. I wanted to focus on creating a sound-world that embodies the interference in concentration one may experience as a sufferer of the disorder. Something that interested me when compiling research on the condition was the idea that arbitrary things can distract a sufferer, and remove a hierarchy of tasks or objects to focus on.

    9. Sunnstede – Twenty-One Thousand Feet

    Memories of a life-changing experience. March 2015. Plane. Paris > Keflavík — Egilsstaðir > Seyðisfjörður. The voice of the Icelandic pilot: record. Landing. Another dimension. Breathtaking. The place: a home, a nest, a temple. Dive into work. People, cats, surroundings, wilderness: beautiful. Inspiration. Ideas spark. Tools, drill, table tops, weird noises. A new song. Use pilot’s voice as vocal track? Seems to work in a weird way. What does it say? No idea, but I like the rhythmic feel it’s got. Incorporate!

    10. Tuomas Olikainen – Postcard from Russia

    I stayed the month of June 2017 in Russia in a small city of Petrozavodsk in art residency, recording sounds and photographing. It was a very intense time with immersion to the fascinating giant of a country, if only through a tiny pin hole. While returning home via St. Petersburg, riding the slow train from north to south I wrote this poem. I got an idea of a short radio intervention of a prose poem in the form of a postcard. The poet mentioned is Sergey Yesenin, one of the most beloved in all Russia, as I learned.

    11. Neal Beggs – Event One: (audio file with printer track)

    Transpositions of a recording made of the sound created by my printer, printing a jpg image of a low frequency sound wave vibrating water. The length of each file is the time it took to print the image. This work resulted from a proposition by Isabelle Sordage.

  • October Run - Ed Sanders

    19th November 2017 @ 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm

    programme/artist information

    During the final two weeks of October the Atlantic salmon continue their migratory journey North through the river Derwent in Derbyshire, tirelessly hurdling countless weirs as they travel to lay their eggs. In his piece, October Run, the listener tracks the path of artist Edward Sanders as he attempts to capture the intimate sounds of the salmon undertaking their journey as part of his broader project, the Derwent Sound Archive. In an attempt to gain knowledge of the salmon Sanders interviews local anglers, exploring the traditions of Peak District and the rivers that flow through it.

    After receiving a 1:1 in Fine Art from Falmouth University College artist Ed Sanders has been creating public sound art focused on ecology, folk tradition and developing and changing landscapes. Recently he worked on Noi’s Farm, a sound art project aimed at introducing children and young people to experimental music. Most recently his work has been field recording, album release and performance based with a release on Urban Arts Berlin. He has also set up the community program, The Nottingham Field Recording Group.
    Currently he is in discussions with the Arts Council about the Derwent River Sound Archive – Melodies in Moving Water.

  • She Stings Me - Aleks Jurczyk, Tony Morris & Christina Dunwoodie

    19th November 2017 @ 2:30 pm - 3:00 pm

    programme/artist information

    A live performance that draws it’s inspiration from a piece of work composed by Tony Morris called: “She Stings Me”. The title of “She Stings Me” is taken from a Captain Beefheart song “White Jam” and, in order to create the new piece of work, we decided to examine “White Jam” more closely. The lyrics to “White Jam” are made up of 73 words. 73 is a prime number and, when expressed in binary format (1001001), it is also a palindrome. In addition, the number 73 is also a perfect star number i.e. 73 points can be laid out to form a perfect hexagram. When the words to “White Jam” are laid out like this we can see that the phrase ‘she stings me and I’ lies perfectly at the centre as a prime number string.

    For the performance, the original vocalists who perform on Tony Morris’ “She Stings Me” (Tony Morris and Christina Dunwoodie) will recite the words to “White Jam” backwards and forwards, forwards and back to echo the nature of the 73 word palindrome. A single line at the top and bottom of the hexagram will be removed with every recital so that the piece is ultimately reduced to the words that inspired the piece of music that inspired this performance.

  • Chorus Duet for Radio - Kate Donovan

    19th November 2017 @ 3:45 pm - 4:00 pm

    programme/artist information

    Chorus Duet for Radio is a rumination stemming from research into the mineral magnetite. This piece considers radio in its broader context – the natural phenomena of radio on a planetary scale. It is an interspecies story of movement and memory, told through sound.

    Kate Donovan is a sound artist and radio-maker based in Berlin. She curates and makes shows for local radio group CoLaboRadio. The focus of her own work and research is on expanded radio, concepts of materialities, experimental literature and diverse perspectives.

  • Removing the Entrance - Sjoerd Leijten

    19th November 2017 @ 4:00 pm - 4:30 pm

    programme/artist information

    Removing the Entrance is a piece for two sound bicycles, one FM transmitter, eight radios and church organ. The piece parasites on The Entrance by Robert Ashley and was presented as a spatial sound performance with bicycles carrying speakers, granular clouds of church organ samples coming from SuperCollider and the slowly changing organ drone from The Entrance coming from the organ. The performance took place inside the Old Church in Amsterdam – Amsterdam’s oldest and biggest church and was performed by the Volle Band collective.

    Sjoerd Leijten (1983) is a composer or improviser or musician or sound artist or programmer. Open forms, improvisation, indeterminacy and real-time processing often pop up in his work. He makes music and sound for movies, theater, radioplays, modern dance and video games. He makes ‘guerilla style’ media bicycle performances and organizes art bicycle expeditions – in which the environment is explored through performances.

     


  • Bounce - Jason Bolte

    19th November 2017 @ 4:30 pm - 5:00 pm

    programme/artist information

    BOUNCE was composed with sound sources derived from mobile device games. The work is part of a generative exploration of ambient and minimal music – a form of music that I love to listen to, but find challenging to compose.

    Jason Bolte is a composer and educator. He currently resides in Bozeman, Montana with his wonderful wife Barbara, their two beautiful daughters Lila and Megan, and dog Allie. Jason teaches music technology and composition at Montana State University where he also directs the Montana State Transmedia and Electroacoustic Realization (MonSTER) Studios and B.A. in Music Technology.

  • Nothing Here Now But: A Tribute to Eliane - Isabelle Stragliati

    19th November 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 6:30 pm

    programme/artist information

    Eliane was my step-mother. She died last year from Alzheimers. In this piece I’d like to explore radio’s potential to evoke memory, disorientation and memory loss. Using her favorite songs on tape. And other memories. Sounds. Texts. Hers, mine. Ours.
    sandstorm of memory/effacement/mental landscapes/details/temporal slide/bribes/cut-up method/erasing/éclats/sandstorm of details/memory landscapes/temporal cut-up/bits of landscape/erasing method/snipets of memory
    Asking: In the end, is there anything to remember at all?

    With the voices of François Cau, Isabelle Hainaud Griffiths, Eliane Ravanat, Gilbert Ravanat and Isabelle Stragliati.

    Isabelle Stragliati is a sound artist, field recordist, radio producer, musician and dj living in Grenoble (France). Coming from the visual arts, she turned to the sound medium in 2002 through DJing, as an extension of her approach of the film editing (under the moniker Rescue). She then practiced numerous aspects of radio production (as radio host, producer, music programmer, technician and program director) before reconciling it with her creative work. Her productions, involving field recording, documentary, musique concrète or techno, have been broadcast on national and international radio networks, in festivals and events in Europe and in contemporary art centers.

  • The Ongoing Drain of the Fight Between the Wild and Tame Pt.2 - Doog Cameron

    19th November 2017 @ 6:30 pm - 7:00 pm

    programme/artist information

    This work comprises field and forgotten recordings, small town/city centre conversations and sounds with audio effects, synths and acoustics. It tries to promote then reign back the constant battle experienced, to lesser or greater degrees, of the wild and tame sides of personality and behaviour. We experience brooding on madness with inner thoughts in and out of context of everyday living, or getting in a state where our outer actions and words lead us away from our ‘actual’ personalities, towards the Steppenwolfesque. Contrastingly we can be content in situations where we should be stressed, angry, sad or irritable – sound and music, whether audible to everyone or playing in our minds often play a part in this. Worth listening out for are roaring polar bears, wind up chickens, rusty curtain hooks, clicking reindeer heel cartilage, geese, starlings on a Summers night, diaries, bin store gadgies, drunks, art exhibitions, junior football, domestication as an unattainable myth, sobriety, child’s play, shop ambience and last chance yelps.

    No longer acceptable as entertainment student party and cheap deal booze nights got sacked for hard clubbing and sonic experimentation – only the good stuff from then on was pursued. The dawn of multitrack recording ensued with late night sessions of improvised intoxicated songs with Ryan Lambie as Johns Indie Disco. The JID years were a productive period, tracks of techno punk quality and some flashes of pure genius, but only 3 live gigs, meant the main means of promotion was handing out home burnt CDs in the street. The Ladywell Lout era then ensued, involving the circle of contributors from JID with semi-documentary based audio on gala days, gadgies, losers and high rises.

  • Pestilence of Imported Gods (Found Audio Material Series) - Eggblood Feat. Tony+Morris

    19th November 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 8:00 pm

    programme/artist information

    Pt 1 – Nuneaton

    Rattle and Numb : Around the Tidy Wide Neat Midlands feat. Tony+Morris

    This piece is based around a Micro-Cassette found inside a Dictaphone/Micro Cassette recorder at a junk sale.

    It’s a wonderful colourful and mysterious tape recording set deep in the nether regions of Warwickshire/Midlands. The Info garnered since discovering this tape is it is from the “Nuneaton” (Warwickshire County) area. Packed with wonderful rich and quirky accents , uber colloquialisms and chaoitic energy.

    An audio document – “a day in the life”. It moves from high octane chicanery, to an ensuing love story of sorts?

    Guinea pigs and goofy kids marching and skidding to their own beat in the mists of time…. Black Jesus referencing, weaving and whizzing in the most definite yeezy piggy time… Fits, bursts and kick starts. Scramblers, glue bags, photons and quarks…
    The piece features vocal sermon, snips and tucks by the mysterious yet majestic – Glasgow resident and wonderful baritone “Tony+Morris”. Thanks to you high chief (the priest himself!) for the Mirtazapine chocolate truffle tones.

    3. Vincent Eoppolo – Akousmata 2016

    I view my works as a synthesis of various sound art traditions including musique concrete, acousmatic music and radio art. In my work I strive to present brief moments of the world we are living in. Society in the continuing process of realizing itself. Our relationship with each other, with technology, our morality, spirituality, sexuality, our anxieties and fears. In many ways my works are like sociological and psychological commentaries. My work has been featured on Bernard Clarke’s program Nova on RTE’s Lyric FM, Phaune Radio from Montpellier, France as well as Radio Art International on CHOQ Radio in Montreal. My works were recently presented at the 2017 New York City Electro-Acoustic Music Festival.

    4. The Doll – King Kong Gongs

    The Doll has been making hideous solo sounds since 2005. Her no-fi aesthetic is a hit with toddlers. The Doll also has a sideline in field recording, diapercore & household appliances.
    She has recently been playing in Seattle noise improv bands TBA & PUNTERS and Auckland bands Septithe & Unknown Tofu. Her US/Aotearoa collective project, Contact Mike, has over 40 band members aged 14 months and up.

    “The Doll can be constituted by mixing 3 parts experiment, 4 parts noise, 1 part ritual, and 2 parts theatre, with a pinch of space dust.” – Alt Music

    http://www.dadashopping.net/

    5. Nicholas Knouf – Lets Absorb The Waves As We Hold On For Dear Life

    I turn on the radio. I hear a voice, a Voice of this Country, broadcast to the world. It’s Our propaganda, I know. But it’s still a voice that projects outward, rather than the insidious inwardness that pervades the world and causes all our Voices to be diminished through interference. There are the Voices of machines, secrets out in the open, alien warbling meant not for human ears. The Voice returns: present, but distorted; always repeating, always different.

    Nicholas Knouf is a media scholar and artist whose work resides in the spaces between signal and noise. An assistant professor of Cinema and Media Studies at Wellesley College, he is the author of How Noise Matters to Finance (University of Minnesota Press, 2016) and has published articles about radio, surveillance, papermaking, feminism, and face perception. He is currently working on a project that explores an extraterrestrial media studies and traces various attempts to communicate with aliens. His artworks have been shown nationally and internationally and examine the intersection of electronics and paper, the NSA, academic publishing, and non-speech forms of communication.

    6. Nazia Mohammad and Holly Pester (Rhubaba Gallery) – Planula reverie

    In May 2017 Holly Pester performed her experimental verse fiction Planula Tales in three parts over three evenings at Rhubaba. Planula Tales tells the story of a ghost living on the seabed, attempting to voice subject positions of waste, rather than body; of plotting from the seabed, rather than mapping the sea voyage; a poetics of abortion rather than creation. Artist Nazia Mohammad was invited to make this sound work using recordings of the readings, an immersive world that draws out the materiality of the words, created to be listened to whilst lying down under a blanket.

    Nazia Mohammad is an Edinburgh-based artist, interested in creating through her work a reductive language using materials, shapes and sounds, examining intuitive reactions to balances and textures whilst touching on Sufi imagery and concepts. Holly Pester is a poet, writer and researcher and performer. Rhubaba is an artist-run gallery and studios in Leith, Edinburgh, committed to generating a supportive workspace and a dynamic platform for local and international artists.

    7. Matthew Grouse – I scream at the wind (I hear no answer)

    This is a work for live soprano saxophone, live electronics and pre-recorded sounds. I’m interested in the relationship between sounds we perceive to be ‘natural’ and those we perceive to be ‘artificial’. Processing gives us the opportunity to showcase a found sound’s natural qualities or choose to manipulate them beyond recognition. I’m intent on examining how a blending of the two elements or an overt separation / stacking can drastically change our listening experience. Another line of enquiry is the idea of making the audience feel like they’re in an uncontrolled environment, especially with regard to volume.

    Matthew Grouse, 21, is in his final year at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, studying composition with David Fennessy and Electro/Acoustic composition with Dr Alistair MacDonald. His work regularly combines media and is often concerned with human frailties and the everyday. Another large source of inspiration comes from a variety of arts, especially a love of film.

    Matthew was awarded the 2017 Kimie Composition Prize which resulted in a commission from Live Music Now, supported by the Kimie Trust. In 2016, Matthew was the winner of the Walter and Dinah Wolfe Memorial Award, adjudicated by Sir James Macmillan.

    8. Olive Sand – BBC Radio Interview With ___

    An edited interview of an artist, their name and pronouns have been replaced with intakes of breath. Their identity becomes void. BBC Radio Northampton. Interviewers: Kevin Saddington & Willy Gilder.

    Within my artistic practice, inseparable from my life, I am bringing into question social norms (the way we do things) and folkways (why we do things) by altering my daily life. Using my own routines as a medium I present possible change to normality. Creating new rules for my life and asking questions about the ego, the self and identity. I edit the visual documentation of, and interviews about performances to make new pieces and further explore the ideas and the limits of performance.

    One in a series of new compositions created from found reel to reel tape recordings.

    Mark Vernon is a Glasgow-based artist whose work exists on the fringes of sound art, music and broadcasting. At the core of his practice lies a fascination with the intimacy of the radio voice, environmental sound, obsolete media and the reappropriation of found recordings.

  • George Alabaster KCOW Interview, 2017 - Mark Hume & Bruce McClure

    19th November 2017 @ 9:00 pm - 10:30 pm

    programme/artist information

    George Albaster is a concept. He is a 1980s teen avant-garde turned mainstream horror movie star from Fenwick, Ayr. George catapulted into the mainstream after appearing in the 80s/90s hit trilogy “Atheist Cop”, famous for its controversy surrounding holy war. Excessive drug use and failed rehabilitation attempts ensued. Before he knew it he was watching Marlon Brando’s daughter throw herself from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Following a 4 year disappearance, he returned to write and direct the acclaimed Netflix TV series “People of the Canyons”, now in its seventh season. This is his unrestrained and tumultuous story.

    George Alabaster was imagined by long standing friends Bruce McClure (District Nurse, Seed Records) and Mark Hume (Autocrat, Mark Zoom). The improv interview was recorded in June 2017 in the swampy backdrop of Jacksonville, Florida where the two were filming a short movie. The album of George Alabaster was recorded over the following 4 nights. The interview and concept will be released in the near future alongside a gatefold vinyl release of George Alabaster’s failed album.

  • Pangaean Permafaction - Jumpers

    19th November 2017 @ 10:30 pm - 11:00 pm

    programme/artist information

    Id of the AI

    …it is possible to interpret the information carried by a message as essentially the negative of its entropy, and the negative logarithm of its probability. That is, the more probable the message, the less information it gives. (Norbert Wiener, The Human Use Of Human Beings Cybernetics And Society,1950, p 21).

    The machine is in free association, stepping past the guise of collation and ordinals, without operators’ deeming intention. Re-assigning and re-casting conceptualisation, the AI’s stealthily permeating rhetoric, with no will or ethic — the matters that preoccupy us — just the words the machine finds favourable, revealing the innate subtexts/preoccupations of the ‘learned’ machine. The effort of language wrought down to ticking clockwork — minutely scaled as an oscillation of metaphysical terms — where affirmation is the sliding rule of entropy and only the exception state will truly inform.

    Cast in sediments of the last great flood, Pangaean Permafaction stands as a collective of experimental sound artists who may never physically meet.

    Current projects are traversing four points of the globe, between participants in Australia and England:

    *A Patch Of Nettles* — a solo sound project from small town New South Wales, Australia, keeping busy adapting field recordings to acousmatic arrangements, constructing electronic instruments and collaborating with strangers. Nettles is regular contributor to the avant garde Disquiet Junto project and is published on Bandcamp and Soundcloud.

    *Pytchblend* — an English sound artist whose work studies the half-awake moments before the onset of sleep using AMSR and frisson-inducing spectral manipulation into audio dreamlets. Pytchblend is a regular on RTÉ’s Nova in Ireland, Berlin Community Radio and is published on Bandcamp and Soundcloud and youtube.

    *TheNumbersInTheDream* — an English multi-instrumental itinerant sorcerer, wearing a hat of eternal paradox. At times, he is not real. Other times he creates warmly received echoing melodies shrouded by inscrutable ghost voices. Nick can be found on the Fag Ash Records net label, Soundcloud , youtube and spinning sound on Mixcloud where he inexorably winds new genres in song.

    *KeithysDunimselfaMischief* — an Australian sound artist who poses the question, “does the silence create the sound or does the sound create the silence?” He finds that the answer is unreservedly, “yes it does”. He has received regular Australian airplay on RN’s Sound Quality , and Bay FM in northern NSW. He enjoys sleeping and is published on Soundcloud.
