Show 585 – Memento (Radio-Zero)

EPSON MFP image

Memento by Abdul Moimême.

This radio piece is what its title implies: a reminder of persons and past events, which in the present case are autobiographical as well as musical; occurrences that span a period of over 30 years and recede back to some early field recordings I did in Madrid in the early eighties.
It also served as a reflection regarding to what extent composition and free improvisation can overlap. For example, certain sections started as improvisations but were here rearranged in a composed form.
The idea was to choose motifs and work with these much as an engraver might approach a new uncharted etching, unaided by the outline of preliminary sketches, allowing each stroke to freely imply the next. Nonetheless, some sections were specifically composed for the occasion.

Composed and mixed by Abdul Moimême

Show 584 – Casting, by Soundart Radio, Devon, UK

 

casting

 

 

 

 

 

 

Broadcasting as spell casting – sending out our intentions into the atmosphere, allowing them to fall where they need to, affect who they may, and communicate our deeper desires, even when wrapped in other text, and encoded into radio waves or digital data.

At Radio V&A  – an evening event at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, February 2016 – we invited people to think about their true messages, whilst reading and recording other texts. These texts, together with sine waves selected to stimulate change in the world, form sonic sigils, carriers for our plans and desires.

Thanks to all the contributors who attended our workshop, and to the Victoria and Albert Museum.
