Show 253: RADIO WORM for Resonance104.4fm

Leave a comment

In December 2009 the WORM STUDIO organised a ‘philosophical’ workshop about field recordings.
We invited Derek Holzer & Justin Bennett to tell their side of the story, told our side of the story as well (nothing is true, everything is permitted, etc.) and let all the workshop members work in the WORM studio to complete their pieces. And the results were great! So we had to shorten the pieces a bit to fit them in this RADIO WORM number 120, Radia edition.
And that’s the other side of the story; the Electronic/Experimental Radio monthly ‘RADIO WORM’ exists for 10 years now. And we never missed a beat! (never looked for it). So starting in January 2000 we come now to number 120, and we’re very proud to present this to the Radia Network.

Show 252: Small Journeys Long Distance by Lucinda Guy

Leave a comment

Shows from the Radia Network travel… from one artist’s ears to another’s. From one small community to another, far away. Within the shows journeys take place too, whether a walk through the shopping centre or a trip into space.
This collage, built from fragments of some of 2009’s contributions, celebrates these journeys large and small; what they have in common and what sets them apart.

Replacement show
This show is an abridged version of the one made for Kunstradio on ORF in Austria. If you’d like to hear the full version it’s here:

Show 251: Glimpses of a revolution backstage

Leave a comment

This program, done on behalf of Rádio Zero, consists of the unedited recordings of the military operational communications that occurred during the 25th April 1974 in Portugal, the so called “carnation revolution”. It is a raw window to the dynamic of a military push converted popular revolution that ended 40 years of dictatorship and jump started dreams and hopes which, like all revolutions, are still to be fulfilled.

For this Radia show 250, Radio Campus Bruxelles ordered a piece from Derek Sein : Un remix anti-délire du remix délirant de la Nouvelle Hybride consacré à Apomorphine de W.S. Burroughs / Derek Sein’s proposal : Another anti-delirious remix of the delirious remix of a past radio program inspired by Apomorphin, a text by W.S. Burroughs; noise but drony, enjoy!

Show 249: A New Year Show by Lucinda Guy

Leave a comment

This is a traditional story about when the moon fell in the river, became trapped by bad fairies and rescued by villagers. I’ve retold it for Radia including recordings made during the last year, mostly of my children and friends playing in a river. There’s also music improvised by children. There are some hymns and carols, some of which first appeared as part of my ‘swimming in the stream’ radio series, using our station’s webstream to create loops and effects.

Thanks to:
Children at Bidwell Brook school, Dartington, who created some of the music Catherine Guy, who sings Shakespeare’s full fathom 5 with me
Ergo Phizmiz who reads the part of the man who fell in.
Beowulf, Artemis, Marlowe and Demeter who played in the river and chatted.
Ariane Delaunois, Nell Harrison and Kate Paxman who also recorded the children at our workshops last summer.

Happy New Year from all at Soundart Radio

Show 248: Albert & Serge by Erik Samakh

Leave a comment

Erik Samakh was in residence in Cameroon by the end of December 2008. Thanks to his partnership with a Pallisco-certified logging company that implements sustainable forest management, he had the chance to visit the forest area in the upper Nyong division of Eastern Cameroon.

He meant to bring the forest sounds back to the urban space, as a way to highlight the break that is often felt by inhabitants in large urban mega-cities .

A sensory way to remind the major importance – on symbolic, emotional and environmental levels – of a forest that physical distance could devote to a silent degradation.

For Radia, Erik Samakh offers an immersive experience in the most remote zone of Makalayathat mountains, a quasi-primary forest, still untapped, where ape calls keep resounding in a near-dialogue with humans, Albert and Serge…

Show 246: Memento: Internationale by Adrian Hall

Leave a comment

This an atmospheric work for radio which takes place inside the head, and the history, of an elderly man.

He dwells on moments and places he may have been, and the life in turn of his father.
The work is initially set in the shaving mirror of his home, and touches on mortality, and the trades of working men everywhere, be they learned in the military, or as an apprentice.
There is too a hint of criminal violence. Another way of making a living.
A recurring theme of blood, consumer objects and the nostalgic history of radio itself allows him to meander in his mind, and to reflect on a life of change. A single human voice is contrasted with recordings of vintage radio commercials extolling the virtues of the workers behind production lines, now derelict: and the narrations of the old man are largely carried by synthesised voices from a computer. The purring of a cat overtakes and completes his domestic reveries.
