Show 094: The Devil and Mr. O
The Devil and Mr. O – Revolt of the Worms
A classic of American broadcasting with reknown sound effects for horrific programs! Oboler lost no time establishing himself as the new master of the macabre after taking over Cooper’s Lights Out series. Between May 1936 and July 1938, he wrote and directed more than 100 Lights Out plays. To follow Cooper was a challenge: he was “the unsung pioneer of radio dramatic techniques,” but Oboler had passed the test with his first play. His own name soon became synonymous with murder and gore, though horror as a genre had always left him cold. Oboler aspired to more serious writing.
Oboler’s shows are well represented — this series of Lights Out was syndicated in The Devil and Mr. O offerings of 1970 – 73. A transcribed syndication of original broadcasts from 1942 – 43 with Arch Oboler as the host.

Show 090: ma[Marseille] by François Parra
François Parra usually uses sound as a structural material ofdevices and interactive installations. Thus he’s more familiar with relations between sound and space than with composition.
This time for Radia listeners, he conceived a trajectory-piece whose title, ma[Marseille], sounds as a series of singular points of views on the city where he lives – and maybe as an ironic reference to MySpace?… This stammering title also calls into question what one means with that word: Marseille has become a product as well, a trademark, that local decision-makers are selling – some would add ‘cheaply’.
ma[Marseille] is a work on the meaning of the words through how they sound. François captured melody, phrasing and accent in inhabitants’ voices and returned them into a musical form. In counterpoint he processed disembodied synthesis voices. His composition questions the words that have been pinned on his city. Actually, Marseille has for ages and from all sides been covered with words, images and legends, always contradictory and continually renewed.
