Show 461: NRRF B Radio presents: Voyage to the Forbidden Planet

NRRF is a collaborative effort to make unlicensed neighborhood radio art. For the B Radio iteration, the core group of noisemakers consists of Jonny Farrow, Anna Friz, Steve Germana, Jeff Kolar, Peter Speer, with Sarah Knudtson (documentation and props wrangling).

B Radio is a series of long-form radio shows mashing b-list genres with radio art. Each B Radio episode features a theme to structure the improvisational nature of the shows, though tangents are frequent and encouraged. It’s live radio, streamed, with special guests and live audience.

Recorded from a live pirate and translocal radio session at the Experimental Sound Studio (Chicago) and Deep Wireless Festival of Radio and Transmission Art (Toronto) on May 3, 2013.

Show 439: Yaris AM 153, 225 and 1611 by Cedric Stevens and Vidar Martens (Radio Nova)

What you hear is a field recording taken from the inside of a Toyota Yaris, driving through the city centre of Oslo in 2010.
The radio is being changed between the different AM frequencies 153, 225 and 1611 at a high volume. Since AM frequencies is poorly supported in Norway, the Yaris pick up mainly electromagnetic signals from the surroundings like the tram, hospital or its own engine, instead of ordinary radio transmission from radio broadcasts.
The Toyota Yaris works like a vehicle for translating nonperseptive surroundings to sound, as well as transporting passangers. This creates an exploratory AM soundscape of central Oslo.

Show 423: Concert4ghosts by Ralf Wendt (Radio Corax)

The American composer Jason Freeman gave us the permission to use his online-violin-tool to play a concert for ghosts. So i tried to play with this and noises from the nights for ghosts. The voices gave Brian and Sarah Catling from Oxford. Let them in.

Ralf Wendt is living in Halle in East Germany and playing with animal voices, human voices and radio.

Show 413: Native by Renata Roman for Resonance FM

At a time when we witnessed the worsening situation of Brazilian Indians in various parts of the country due to economic interests it is fair hear them: the simplicity of the dialogue, the reflection of the thinker, the letter from the explorer. Everything is revealing.

Renata Roman is an independent Brazilian artist based in São Paulo. Her artwork revolves around radio pieces, installations, sound poetry and field recordings. She keeps the sound map of the city of São Paulo.
