Show 287: You’re on Next by Tom Wallace

“You’re on Next”

Interviews with DJs from the London free party scene. Produced by Tom Wallace.

This piece explores the experiences of six DJs who have all been involved in the vibrant free party scene in the 1990s. The interviews explore how they got involved in the scene, how they view their craft and recall the magic moments and mishaps along the way. These are set against the warped sonics of the sound systems they played on.

Featuring: Neil Controlled Weirdness, Gizelle, Louise +1, Rowan Megabitch, Jason Warlock and Jerome hill.

Show 286: Personal Number Station By Disphilharmonia Sounds

Initially, we are a laptop quartet of five individuals, one robot (barely automated, slightly sentient) and four fleshy humans. Furthermore we host a radio show on Kanal 103 in Macedonia which usually contains much of what we do in our separate electronic production projects, alternative ego’s, or what we do with Disphilharmonia. Since music is taken very lightly lately, we consider that the act of listening to music/sounds should return to a more primitive time where it represents a totem, a symbol of gathering around which special attention should be invested. Our live performances attempt to create this effect by accentuating the visual part, forcing audience to participate with more senses, ritualizing the act of listening music. This time, for Radia, we prepared an almost fake Numbers Station (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_station) live, that relays a secret message, when converted/cracked and sent to our mail, results in access to not-yet-released materials of Disphilharmonia and/or affiliates.  Visit www.disphilharmonia.blogspot.com for more free downloadable music, videos, info, crickets, cake and everything.

Show 285: Hirondelle by Beatriz Rodrigues and António Silva

While contemplating the mysterious life of the landscape, plants, birds,insects,we dive into the magnetic space where the swallows and echoes of things and their spirits live.

There is iron and straw and the light’s reflection on the water follows the eye, as the beating of the heart echoes through the landscape’s melancholy.

Beatriz Rodrigues and António Silva are two artists from Viseu-Portugal, working together as a couple.

They explore different types of media, such as sound and drawing.

Making use of composition, balance, structure, simbolism, significance, rhythm, etc., they organize emotion and memory that lead us to non-places, abstract and shapeless spaces, in a mixture of noisy and melodic environments.

Show 284: Semantik live @ Radio Sonic

This show is a live performance made during Radio Sonic, the 4 days long webradio that Radio Campus Bruxelles operated the previous week, to announce a sound art festival in Belgium called City Sonic. (Works and exhibitions are open until the 12th of september, in Mons. Come and visit !)
In the place we were working (Les anciens abattoirs), we met a sound artist working with devices that interrogate our relation to the body and territories. Audio Geolocalised derive & sound installation. He kept sounds he made and transformed to create this live performance one night. Here’s the copyleft result.
Member of the collectif APO33, he’s also performing as live dj with experimental breakcore set, under the name of Semantik.
