Show 574: Travel Sounds (TEA FM)

Leave a comment

banner Radia 574Cuando viajas, un mundo de sonidos, ambientes y voces crece y evoluciona a tu alrededor. Es un buen ejercicio prestar atención a ese universo sonoro para descubrir aquellos detalles escindidos tras una voz de niño, una llamada de aviso o un motor lejano.

When you make a journey, a world of sounds, voices environments grows and evolves around you. It is a good exercise to pay attention to the sound universe around you to discover those details split after a child’s voice, a call warning or a distant motor.
A sound work from Chuse Fernandez with sound captures from Aragon, Spain and Colombia.

Show 573: Other (Radio Panik)

Leave a comment

Others
Librement inspiré de “Huis Clos” de Jean-Paul Sartre, cette création
radiophonique est animée par trois personnages principaux : deux
femmes et un son (la voix de Sartre inclue). Ces trois là échangent,
se rencontrent puis se détestent… Laissant place à la coalition ou à
sa dissolution. Il s’agit d’aborder cette manière dont l’autre nous
forme par son regard… et comment l’on souhaite alors manier ses yeux
qui nous forment. Et puis finalement abandonner… s’abandonner.

Ou peut-être que cette pièce aborde une autre triangulation celle de
deux langages cherchant à dessiner un code commun.

Entre le bruit et le silence, tracer un chemin vers la compréhension.
Ou alors il s’agit peut-être simplement de vous et de votre autre vous
Ou alors il s’agit peut-être de moi et de mon autre moi ….

Une réalisation d’Anne Lepère
Avec Lenka Luptakova
Mars 2016
Durée : 24’10

Show 572: Jacovitti & The Salami (Radio Klangendum/Worm)

Leave a comment

44776360

There is comic writer Benito’s Javovitti’s underestimated promotion of the Salami AN SICH, as a concept, as a weapon, as an ideology. And there is a growing scene of Salami awareness around the world… An underground cult that is still under the radar but will inevitably find world domination -or at least some form of tax evasion.

So with the spicy taste still in his mouth, Dr Klangendum went and looked for some entities that could explain him the basics of Salamiism.

Italian Salamist; Stefano Giannotti

Scottish Salami Scientist; Jim Whelton

One Bad Word Could Lead You To Hellfire; Sheikh Mansur Al-Salami

Research; Silvia Scaglioni

Text; LG Simonis, J Whelton

Show 571: Taxonomy of sonorous order (Radio Orange 94.0)

Categorising, tagging, assigning and conducting research as a creative process. Where do art and order come together? How do artists use archives or archived material? Does the digital card index therefore need a digital artist? How can digital archives be handled artistically? What are the interests of community radio stations? What is the infrastructure like? Lale Rodgarkia-Dara and Karl Schönswetter want to use a live (radio) performance to transform material from archives and on-site recordings into a live feedback transmission and thereby establish a seamless transition between a reticent lecture and an in-your-face live show. What happens if the public annotates the transmission and creates a new work of art out of the archive molasses? An acoustic overwriting of a long day of busy conferencing mixed with archive material from the conference participants. Well, now we know.

Lale Rodgarkia-Dara and Karl Schönswetter from Vienna used an analog catalogue of the Cultural Broadcasting Archive and Live-Recordings from the conference “Radio Archives in European Community Media” to activate free radio archives.
“Taxonomy of sonorous order” was recorded 6th june 2015 in Halle.

Show 569: Unintentional Autobiography By Michael McLaren

Leave a comment

I raced around my attic quarters, scavenging a textbook, an old high school essay, a favourite story.
An autobiographical work told through readings chosen both with and without intent.
The dice serve a dual purpose. As a composing utility, the uncertainty of dice and related methods beings me joy unparalleled. As for the product, it is the better for being in some small way freed from my own limited vision.

Show 568: Back Again by Laura Morris ( Campus Paris)

Leave a comment

Morris Radia image

The search for something new encompasses the search for a new you. Why travel? To see new places? Or for the chance to be or become someone else? Who are you in a new, anonymous crowd?

But the further we go, the longer we stay, the closer we are to something essential, the same rope of reactions, the same anchor of thoughts.

In the piece certain sounds return again and again, sometimes altered, but ultimately the same.

These recordings come from three weeks spent mostly on trains in the Balkan countries (Bosnia, Servia, Croatia, as well as Hungary, Slovenia, and Austria). The recordings are presented in a mostly chronological order.

Laura Morris is sometimes a painter, always a New Yorker, and certainly a radio producer living and working in Paris.

radia season 36 – show #566 (radio x) – TO THE LIMIT OF ENDURANCE by GABI SCHAFFNER
– playing from february 1 to february 7, 2016 –

TO THE LIMIT OF ENDURANCE
by GABI SCHAFFNER

He was a slender man of average height in his 60s, adressing the Lido with his back turned to the city. At first, there was noone around listening, eventually, later, some passer-bys stopped… just like me. He never turned around, he didn’t even cast a glance at his listeners. I had the most awful stomach cramps from having eaten something I shouldn’t, my forehead was covered in sweat from pain – but I held the recorder… just so.

TO THE LIMIT OF ENDURANCE assembles field recordings from Venice, Italy. Snippets of a gondola race, excerpts from church mass, voices and choices of the Biennale and a memorable poetry reading are combined into a collage that is dedicated to the power and beauty of languages, both spoken and lost. Dear unknown poet, thank you for your words.
Additional musical support: Trumpet improvisation by Claudio Comandini, recorded in Wedding, Berlin.
Field recordings, editing and mix: Gabi Schaffner/raw audio recordings 2015/2016

Radia Show 565: CHANT IV by Golem Mecanique for Jet FM

Leave a comment

IMG_0099(French below)

CANTO IV

Electro acoustic composition for radiophonic broadcast

Golem Mecanique : Voice , magnetic tape recorders device, drone box
Antoine Lang : Voice, reading
Alexis Degrenier : Mixing and mastering

I walked for a long time with Dante on my mind
Wandering in the infernal circles was for me a true allegory of my perpetual search of meaning.
In Canto IV, I chewed the words, I drew a new topography of the circles, I distorted the speech.
A work that I started years ago with”Inferno”, a reinterpretation of sound process and over recording from and that I used in Canto IV
I invited Antoine Lang a Swiss artist who works on the destruction and organic manipulation of the spoken, sung , whispered sound.
His guttural appearances intensify the idea of a perceptible hell.
An invisible forest. A tense contemplation.

CHANT IV

Pièce electro-acoustique pour diffusion radiophonique.

Golem Mecanique : Voix, dispositif magnétophones à bandes, boite à bourdons
Antoine Lang : Voix et lecture
Alexis Degrenier : Mixage et Mastering

Longtemps je me suis promenée avec Dante dans mon esprit.
La déambulation dans les cercles infernaux était pour moi la juste allégorie de ma recherche perpétuelle d’un sens.
Pour Chant IV , j’ai remâché les mots, j’ai redessiné la topographie des cercles ,altérant la parole . Un travail que j’ai commencé depuis quelques années avec notamment “Inferno ” , un travail de réinterpretation du procédé de sur-enregistrement d’Alvin Lucier et dont je me sers dans Chant IV.
J’ai convié Antoine Lang un artiste suisse qui travaille sur la destruction et la manipulation organique du son chanté, parlé, murmurée.
Ses apparitions gutturales renforcent l’idée d’un enfer perceptible.
Une forêt invisible. Une contemplation tendue.
