A mosaic of different sound of human voices, found and recorded. Field recordings from the festival in Velka nad Velickou, east Moravia, made in July 2008 serves as a patch for experiment on the globalisation phenomen. The festival is one of few in Czech republic, where local folk culture plays a key role. We have set up a virtual encounter of traditional Moravian music with different ethnic groups { Siberia, Schotland, Australia, etc], both recorded or found on the interent.

Sounds of places which are connected through the community project ‘Share’. It is a platform for open discussion and a creative meeting place for all who take interest in audiovisual culture overlaps.
Show includes samples from NYC, Melbourne, Budapest and Belgrade share jam session archives.

track 1:
Roman Stetina – “Who is done it”
Nights awakened, nights of headache, nights suffered, and nights I was dying. Endless, unheard conversations… whisper that ends at dawn. Blindness the eyes get used to. Shadows of events. Nights delicate, clear, nights flown about. Time does not flow, but runs and leaps. I let the radio on. My sphincter clenched, hot asphalt, bare feet and the ripple of the brook. Gravel between my toes. I am standing in my pajamas in a dried puddle.

Second part of the RetroSonoGrafia series. This time aimed at programs created, organized and supported by LemurieT.A.Z. during the year 2007.

The break of the year always tends to force people into evaluating past. This program is a result of Lemurie looking at the last year recordings and trying to get something new from them.
What you’re about to here in this show is a non-commented mix of most of the programs Lemurie produced, organised and initiated during the last year. Included are excerpts from regular radio jams [AUDIO BloKs], samples from Share events Lemurie co-organized and recordings from workshops [such as pirate-radio workshop we did in Bratislava]..
Thanks to everyone who participated and collaborated in 2007.

Share TAZ is a czech part of project SHARE.DJ and this radio show is paradocument about it and was recorded during share-workshop on ULTRAHANG festival Budapest.

The Share Taz show is a series of sound recordings and sound notes Lemurie team gathered during the Share Workshop in Budapest in March 2007… this show does not intend to be a document nor it tries to be informative – it is only an attempt to grasp the feeling into a short-time piece.

A commemoration of the glory of the microphone and sounding wires: radio essay.

sound and concept: Radio lemurie, july 2007, mixing and recording: Milos Vojtechovsky, Stanislav Abraham.

December 1989. In Bucharest President Nicolae Ceausescu was holding on the balcony his last famous speech. All of sudden something unexpected happened down on the square: a sign of turmoil, protest. Ceausescu is confused and starts calling repeatedly: halo!, halo!, halo! tapping with his finger on the microphone to get back the contact with the usually obedient crowd, bewitched and captivated by the magic of the amplified voice of the dictator. Several days later, on 25 of December the national tribunal condemned Elena and Nicolae Ceausescu. They have been shot to death. Their execution as well as the trial was videotaped.

Elena screams to the solders, who led them to the execution place: “Child do not do this to me! Don’t you listen? Stop touching me. Haven’t you heard? What are you doing?” Nicolae tells Elena “Relax. Leave it be.” “Let me go!” screams Elena. Let my hands go!” Nicolae shouts “How do you have the right to do this?” (Dec. 25, 1989).

Electricity and amplified sound of the human voice transformed deeply the social, psychological and political context of the human discourse. Certain traces of totalitarianism are imbedded in almost every bit of broadcasted and transformed voice. The collage combines different samples of voices, speaking via telephone, found on the internet with ambient sounds, recorded in Prague, Wroclaw, Muenster and Kassel.
