Show 1070 – Arrested Gestures by Geanina Gypt (Reboot.fm)

A composition imagining gestures, an anthropological archive of the body, as sound objects, predominantly through an acousmatic approach to the deconstruction and reconstruction of field/phone recordings, using the CD and CDJ as a tool or instrument for real-time manipulation, re-recording and improvisation, highlighting the musical potential of seemingly trivial real world sounds.

A sound situation extracting and trapping gestures from a socio-cultural landscape into an unpredictable set of sonic objects, continuously re-arranged and re-choreographed in time.

This radio piece is in direct relation to Milic’s expanded cinema performance INSCRIPTION, ENDURING; POTENTIAL which centers on gesture as holder of subtle cultural memory and history (the body as an anthropological and sociological archive) using found footage to practice experimental autoethnography – extracting glimpses of gestural movement from super8 home movies and interconnecting them in multi-projections.

“Gesture is the name of this intersection between life and art, act and power, general and particular, text and execution. It is a moment of life subtracted from the context of individual biography as well as a moment of art subtracted from the neutrality of aesthetics: it is pure praxis. The gesture is neither use value nor exchange value, neither biographic experience nor impersonal event: it is the other side of the commodity that lets the “crystals of this common social substance” sink into the situation.” (Giorgio Agamben)

Geanina Gypt is a leftfield music project of artist and DJ Maja Milić, fueled by a hardcore use of loops, extensive resampling, deconstruction and creating rhythms by misuse and destruction of samples or trivial sonic elements of reality, as well as the use of DJ equipment as tool for real-time manipulation of prerecorded sound (improvisation of an improvisation), mostly on tapes and CD.

She uses radio as a space for releasing music in long form or testing conceptual ideas, often intermedial (like, broadcast of images or live happenings), through her show Gypt Sessions on Berlin’s artist radio reboot.fm, and sometimes through Intruder Sessions, which is an irregular intrusion of the radio with spontaneous sets or concepts. She started to self-release tapes under Gypt Records.

Show 1067: Radar sem z živalmi / I like to be with animals by robrrr_ (Radio Študent)

Radio Študent for Radia Network presents a jumble of sonic images of animals and humans interacting with them collected and mixed by robrrr_. Field recordings, clips from television and appropriations from social media form the basis of an exploration into the way we spend time with animals, play with them, parody them… The sound samples are manipulated, arranged and interwoven with original musical compositions to create a warm and playful ramble around the various ways we represent animals and use images of them to expose things about ourselves and our lifeworlds. In the clips, we sense the love and happiness that emanate from the interactions but, at the same time, the animals’ presence is often reduced, indirectly heard or otherwise cryptic, leading us to the question if the subjectivity of the animals is given the space they really deserve.

Robbie Hopper is a musician, biologist, audio technician and sound artist, working under the name robrrr_. They find making abstract compositions a comforting way of making sense of worldly wonders and horrors, and are currently particularly interested in radio and noise as subversive conduits for rebellion against oppression of various kinds. They invite you to greet your pet on their behalf.
