Long Distance Sitting Piece

Untitled Sit for Your Aetheric Body by Michelle Nagai.

This work is one in a series of sitting pieces. A collection of (usually live) performance works, these sitting pieces share several common themes, one of which is the presence of the performer and the listener in one “space” together. This broadcast’s subtitle, Untitled Sit, is the generic label for a series of compositions originally devised for live performance in private homes. Each work, created and performed by the composer, is centered around the presence of a still and silent seated figure in close physical proximity to the audience. Variations on the basic form are permitted, and in all cases, a free-form exchange of sensory information is encouraged between performer, viewer and environment. This is an interactive radio broadcast.

Three excepts from interviews from Bua and Bercowetz’s recent show “Things Got Legs” at Derek Eller Gallery in New York.

For this installment the featured authors and filmmaker will be:
* Peter Levenda, Author of Unholy Alliance (a history of Nazi involvement with the Occult) and a three-volume book Sinister Forces (a Grimoire of American Political Witchcraft) discusses a trip he made down to Chile in 1979 in search of the Nazi run Colonia Dignidad.
*William H. Kennedy author of Lucifer’s Lodge (Satanic Ritual Abuse in the Catholic Church) and Satanic Crime (a Threat in the New Millennium) talks about how he came to write his book after a tip from father Malachi Martin.
* Bart Sibrel a filmmaker who’s documentary, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon seriously questions the authenticity of the Apollo moon missions, talks about his transition from being one of Apollo’s biggest fans as a child to one of their biggest doubters as an adult.

free103point9 Program Director and Transmission Artist Tom Roe will present a Radio Lab workshop as well as discuss his work with Joe Milutis’s students in The Department of Modern Culture & Media at Brown University. Roe discusses free103point9’s early history, and microcasting history in the United States in the 1990s, as well as exploring transmission art and playing brief examples of performances from free103point9’s Tune (In))) The Kitchen with Scanner, Gregory Whitehead, Thurston Moore, Michelle Nagia, and others.

Mediascapes heard from radios suspended in the theatre, broadcast on 4 watts FM.
Originally designed for pirate radio broadcast as part of a youth theatre/media and democracy project in Toronto, Canada, spring 2006. I created a series of pieces to serve as mediascapes surrounding actors in a physical theatre, reflecting on themes suggested by participating high school students (ages 16-18) such as power, commercialized culture and media saturation, justice, and freedom. The pieces were heard from radios suspended in the theatre, broadcast on 4 watts FM.
