Show 551: Seth Cluett’s The Exercise of Memory (Wave Farm WGXC 90.7-FM)

Cluett-work-image

Writes Cluett, “I grew up rurally in the foothills of the Berkshire mountains on the eastern border of New York state and the states of Vermont and Massachusetts. Though I was at the periphery of three minor cities, each had colleges and local radio programming, leaving me at the center of the overlapping zones of their respective radio broadcast regions. When the whether would shift, the access would change; the pattern of expected scheduled programming was tethered to the randomness of the weather within the loose pattern of the four seasons. The material presented in this work represents common sound memories to each of the places I’ve lived in the last 7 years: the city of Troy in the state of New York, the city of Paris in France, the borough of Hightstown in central New Jersey, and the town of Oxford in the southwest corner of Ohio. Sirens, bells, rain, snow, wind, birds, footsteps, and traffic represent substantial areas of overlap between the soundscapes of each home. The work ebbs and flows between these geographic markers with the randomness of weather, finding pattern in the blurry boundaries of memory recorded as sound.”

Show 550: James Joyce. The Sound of Words.

17-TermsInventedby-744x420

What better way to know James Joyce than his invented words. He was born in Rathgar, on the outskirts of Dublin, in 1882. Although he spent much of his life living and working on the continent — he died in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1941 — Joyce maintained close ties with Ireland, and used it as the setting for all of his major literary works, including A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Ulysses (1922) and Finnegan’s Wake (1939).

Known for his playful and endlessly creative use of words, Joyce invented a whole host of often fairly outlandish words and phrases in his writing, a handful of which have made their way into the more obscure corners of the dictionary. The stories behind seventeen of his most brilliant and most bizarre inventions are explored here.

Show 549: Une ville sans cloches est comme un aveugle sans baston, un asne sans cropiere, et une vache sans cymbales

Une ville sans cloches

Alice Just / Flavien Gillié / Liv / Sylvain van iniitu Une ville sans cloches est comme un aveugle sans baston, un asne sans cropiere, et une vache sans cymbales.

This edit tells the story of a day of improvisation at E42.A8, creation and meeting around an inspiring place, in the peace and quiet,

firmly,

at the farm.

editing and mixing by Flavien Gillié.

E42.A8

Is first a place ;

A place where we try to create the conditions that make an improvisation possible, a pretext for meeting, but also an end in itself.

A place on the fence : not useful anymore for its previous purpose, and yet without a new and definitive form

To take the time ;

To think not in terms of composition and efficiency, but rather in terms of freedoms-constraints, texture-range, inside-outside, games-interactions, pulse-stretch, moments-intensity, diversion-obviousness, amazement-oblivion, silence-saturation, space-sound +++

E42.A8

Est tout d’abord un lieu ;

Un lieu où nous essayons de mettre en place les conditions de possibilités d’une improvisation, prétexte à rencontres, mais aussi finalité.

Un lieu entre deux eaux ; qui n’est plus utile à sa fonction première ; et qui n’a pas encore trouvé de forme définitive ;

Y prendre le temps ;

Y penser non pas en termes de composition et d’efficacité, mais plutôt libertés-contraintes ; textures-tessitures ; intérieur-extérieur ; jeux-interactions ; pulsation-étirement ; moments-intensités ; détournements-évidences ; étonnement-oubli ; silence-saturation ; espace-sonore +++

Show 548: Stretch Limo’s and Moeras

cover_stretchlimos_moeras

Title: ‘Stretch Limo’s’ en ‘Moeras’ (28:00)

Text: Martin Reints

Music & Sound: Martijn Comes

Commissioned by: WORM Rotterdam / Klangendum Studios / Lukas Simonis

In close cooperation with: Concertzender Nederland and Anette Kouwenhoven

Special thanks to: Lukas Simonis, Hessel Veldman, Sem de Jongh, Katja Stam, Fani Konstantinidou.

A collaboration between Martijn Comes (soundtrack) and Martin Reints (text). The soundtrack is made in the Worm / Klangendum studios using own sound design, features of the analogue WORM studio and various field recordings. In a live performance at the first presentation of the project Annette Kouwenhoven (Maatschappij Discordia) read the text, in the studio version Martin Reints reads the text himself. The text consists of two poems (‘Stretch Limo’s’ and ‘Moeras’) which together form a diptych; after the pieces followed by a making-of in which Martijn Comes, Annette Kouwenhoven and Martin Reints let their thoughts run free about the project. In the soundscape is enclosed  ‘The Labyrinth’ of Pietro Locatello (‘easy to enter, hard to get out).

Martijn: “I met Martin Reints during one of his lectures. His presentation is impressive for me because a lot of his work comes from a silence in which I feel safe. Where the mundane and worldly ends, and where a purely poetic consciousness exists of the invisible. Martin and I are both fans of Barry Bermange his work with Delia Derbyshire (collaboration with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop). In his interest of this radiophonic work existed also the urgency to invite him to create two broadcasts for the Concertzender as a producer of the Inventions for Radio programme. I spent a long time looking for texts that put me in the right concentration

for this commission. I called Martin after a long time searching, and he told me that he had just finished two long works: ‘Stretch Limo’s’ and ‘Moeras’. I was instantly excited; they appeared to be two long poems that lend themselves perfectly to a musical accompaniment. They are very meditative texts and the image is very strong and elegant.

Show 547: Turning towards sonic impressions

The wiener radia kollektiv (ORANGE 94.0) proudly presents radia # 547

Wolfgang Fuchs at Buenos Aires.

Turning towards sonic impressions

An impressionistic turntabling view onto Buenos Aires.

What is left if you want to make a soundscape-piece but find yourself in the overwhelming soundscape of a city that cannot be acoustically depicted by the collected footage? Wolfgang Fuchs solved this dissonance with another sound-tool placed in ephemera. He turned towards his turntables and drew a clear acoustic line of the constant “wrumm “of a somehow different megacity that seems to be bedded in low frequency clouds, unfolded and broken in distortion.

In 2015 Lale Rodgarkia-Dara and Veronika Mayer went on an electrocoustic-literature tour through Argentina. One of the outcomes was a spontaneous artist-exchange with a local gallery in Buenos Aires. Quickly a Sonic-Art- Residency was created and even quicker Wolfgang Fuchs convinced a small jury with his work. Wolfgang has been staying at PANAL 361 since the end of August and is involved in several artistic approaches. Some successful, some stressful, all different.

Read, listen to and view more of Wolfgang Fuchs work on:

The residency is part of an exchange programme. In 2016 an Argentinean artist will be selected to take on a residency in Vienna with the focus on Sonic/Radio-Art.

Show 546: Jakob-Duschek-Trio (Radio Corax)

Corax comes musically this month into the Radia universe: Johannes Westermann and Johann von Cargo (Halle/S.- E.-Germany) get pulled together again to show off with their misty tunes combined of two turntables and a synthesizer… and they call it Jakob-Duschek-Trio.
