Show 616: Rural Futurism: sonic escapade in the heart of Liminaria (Radio Papesse)

Liminaria is a research field project set to create cultural, social and economic sustainable networks in the Fortore Area, a micro region in the province of Benevento, Italy.

At Liminaria, artists and researchers are invited to work together with local communities in building “actions” within the territory; and “actions” is what Maurizio Chiantone, Fernando Godoy, Miguel Isaza and David Velez set in place during their residency in Summer 2016.

Rural Futurism is an open ear towards their encounters in Fortore: field recordings, candid conversations, manipulated sounds, voices and noises from the villages of Ginestra and Montefalcone.
Performances, concerts and wind all merge into a 28 minutes voyage between past and present; old traditions are renewed into public performances and artists David Velez and Fernando Godoy question themselves on the importance of giving back to the local communities that have welcomed them, meanwhile a 84 years old woman recounts her history and the villages transformation.

The last part of the show takes us in the middle of the joyous cacophony that has been an itinerant bell-concert devised by David Velez and Fernando Godoy which saw the participation of the whole community of Montefalcone.
From the children to the elderly people, dozens crossed the village streets and made the them resonate once again with the rural sounds of animal bells and traditional instruments; a procession guided by the sounds of the village church-bells and a single horse-rider, a girl whom, like a modern Don Quixote, defies the present and looks at the future.

Show 590: Musica Experimental en el Perù [Radio Papesse]

Radia_590_Musica_Experimentale_en_el_Peru

Valencia Vanessa Ramos, former member of RadioDialnet.com and member of the Group of Sonora Research Peru, presents Musica Experimental en el Peru, a radio documentary that sheds light onto the experimental music scene in Peru, by bringing together the testimonies of some of its authors – from Lima, Barranco, Miraflores, Los Olivos to Jesu Maria, Independence, El Rimac and Cusco – their comments and thoughts about the many ways their music have sought to break the established parameters of Peruvian society by using noise and dissonance.

The documentary is part of A Blind Date, a quite original sound cycle of eight documentaries presented at the Alliance Francaise de Miraflores. The project is led by journalist and sound researcher Alejandro Cornejo Montibeller.

Musica Experimental en el Perù is produced in collaboration with ​Cinthya Robles Rodríguez, Alfredo García Burga, Rosa Dávila López​ – now part of radiodialment.com – and Alejandro Cornejo Montibeller.

Show 539: Proposal for a Performance by Jeremiah Day | Radio Papesse

This week show is a radio piece by artist Jeremiah Day, with whom Radio Papesse had the chance to collaborate since his arrival at Villa Romana, in Florence, last January 2015.

This piece constitutes a chapter of the ongoing public talks marking the conclusion of Day’s Doctorate of the Arts project: A Kind of Imagination that has Nothing To Do with Fiction? Allan Kaprow and Hannah Arendt and a Practice for a New Publicness of Art.
Jeremiah Day’s work is a personal exploration of art’s capacity to have a role in public life. This talk – a thought experiment in what would be involved in making a performance in a prison or jail – sits ambiguously between being an artwork itself and a piece of critical reflection on art practice today.

It was recorded on July 15, 2015 at Radio Papesse’s studio at Villa Romana, Florence.

Radia_539_JaremiahDay_RadioPapesse2

BIO | Jeremiah Day’s work employs photography, speech and improvisational movement. Questions of site and historical memory are explored through fractured narrative and image. In a hybrid form of realism, Day appropriates historical incident to serve as metaphor and exemplification that can shed insight upon broader philosophical and political questions.
Day graduated from the Art Department of the University of California at Los Angeles in 1997 and lived and worked in Los Angeles until moving to Holland in 2003 to attend the Rijksakademie.
From 2000 to 2002 Day was artist-in-residence at Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center in Los Angeles where he organized such events as The Great Silence: 10 Years After the Burning, commemorating the 1992 riots.
Day’s performances, photographs and installations have been presented at such institutions as the Santa Monica Museum, the Smart Museum at the University of Chicago, the Centre George Pompidou in Paris, the Stedelijk Museum and this year’s Thessaloniki Biennial and his work held in the public collection of Frac Champagne-Ardenne and the Stedelijke Museum, Amsterdam.

A short documentary about last year’s collaboration with the Arnolfini, Bristol is shown here.

Show 513: VHS tape loop in a magnetic field by Eddie Spanier & Black Monk (Radio Papesse)

A closed circuit formed by a loop that exploits the digital technology in VHS and a magnetic field, activated by the magnets of a powered speaker for the diffusion of audio. This system ensures the maintenance of an onanistic process that leads to constant and progressive disruption of the audio and video signal supported by the magnetic tape of the VHS. The residual audio, which gradually loses quality, is channeled into a mixing system and spread through the same audio speakers that degenerate the sound source itself.

This show was produced for Radio Papesse from the recordings of a performance held at xenos arte contemporanea (Firenze) in October 2014

He is an auto-generated intelligence swarm, a dense team of highly-trained space monkeys, skilled and ontologically devoted to artistic do-it-yourself processes, obsolete technologies and retrogaming, technological onanism and hypertrophic mechanical systems, pseudo-scientific dogma, subculture science, conspiracy theories and the former life of L. Ron Hubbard, the Day of Judgment, and popular culture. Eddie Spanier is a gray area, a gray eminence that often conspires against itself, a machine of propaganda and a parasite of free information.

Black Monk
It is a new moniker concealing the other half of the duo Alpin Folks, a musical project that blends the literary references and visual arts related to mountains.
Immersed in electronic listenings he gives space to the compositions of Steve Reich, Terrence Dixon and Helm. His records are a valuable asset for use as connective or degenerative material. Fascinated by the triptych word, sound, images, he works for the first time with Eddie Spanier, making four hands.

Show 489: Birds of Marrakech by Radio Papesse

This week show come no where else than form our very own recorders.
It is a non-linear walk recorded during the opening days of the 2014 Marrakech Biennale.


tag


It all started from a terrace during the 2014 Bienniale opening days, then moved into the streets; among the crowd, the tourists, people wandering into new territories, just to find unexpected sounds and stories.
A quest that brought us into a misused theatre, then back to the streets, into the old town, where the ancient and the modern mix.
To hop into a taxi, where the outside noises slowly faded into soundart and migration stories; then back to where history meet the contemporary, in the frequencies of Marrakech cranes, into a lost flock, and the Muezzins’ prayers.
After days of wanderings and getting lost into the Marrakech dedalus, came an unexpected and healing encounter; but then, it is inevitable to end back again into the crowd until, just turning the corner, everything is relaxed and almost silent.
Just time for a mint tea and the birds come back in, so does the music, and the radios and the car horns.
The new birds of Marrkech.

Show 465: WJM cuts for Radio Papesse

This week show is a special cutandslice produced by WJM for Radio Papesse coming as series of outtakes form her album NO

Roberta WJM Andreucci is a percussionist, an experimental producer and DJ, and on air personality. She has more than twenty year of experience organizing and promoting alternative music events. She practices plagiarism and the cutting and mixing of musical and ambiental aural sources. Early in her career she started focusing on the use of voices and on vocal metalinguism, focalizing on her personal practice of “cuttingandslicing” and on rhythm patterns obtained through an improper use of her tools of the trade (cdjs, cd
player, md, mics, mixer).
Through the years her percussion set morphed into a hybrid encompassing a dj booth, a radio dj one, a microphone station for electroacustic experiments, and a mnemonic butcher’s slab.
She is a founding member of performing music units such as Jealousy Party, Semerssuaq, The Secretaries and Sistemi Audiofobici Burp.
She is the director of the music label Burp Publications.

Show 441: Postcards from Italy by Gianmarco Del Re (for Radio Papesse)

Taking cue from Gianmarco Del Re’s column on Fluid Radio, which profiles the most interesting sound artists and musicians currently operating within the Italian electroacoustic scene, musicians Giulio Aldinucci and Attilio Novellino have launched the Postcard from Italy project.
They invited the Aips collective artists to take parte in the project asking them to take field recordings in their own respective cities and areas, which were then redistributed amongst the group on an anonymous basis in order to be reworked and processed.
The resulting sounds ended up being a multifaceted sonic snapshot of the Italian peninsula, articulated into an album to be released this September, a live event that took place in London July21st, 2013 at Café OTO and an installation at SoundFjord.

This Radia Show was then produced by the original inspirator of the whole project, Gianmarco Del Re. He assembled fragments of the compositions included the Aips album, mixed them together with the original field recordings, excerpts from the installation sounds and recordings form the live shows of the Aips collective at CaféOTO and Power Lunches.
The result is a 28minutes compendium of processed sketches from Italy.

Show 416: Shadow-walks (Florence) by Viv Corringham for Radio Papesse

Knowing where you are, is knowing who you are
Steven Feld
Your footsteps follow not what is outside the eyes, but what is within, buried, erased.
Italo Calvino. Invisible Cities.
Shadow-walks (Florence) is the Italian chapter of Viv Corringham’s ongoing project that responds to people’s relationship with familiar places and explores how that bond links to an interior landscape of personal history, memory and association.
In Florence she has been walking together with an actress, a street vendor, a graphic designer, a performer and a former school teacher; they took her to the post office, the market, villas closed by walls, the hospital, an occupied house and cafés… she then walked the same routes by herself creating her own rendering through vocal improvisation.
The project involves three main activities: walking with others, listening and singing; it relates with soundscape, the explored places and its inhabitants keeping in mind that knowing where you are is knowing who you are.
Viv Corringham knows how to listen; in fact, this is the common thread that unites her work: vocal virtuosity, composition and improvisation are tools aimed at listening, our listening. Shadow Walk (Florence) is a five-stop walk in search of Florence out of the limelight. Like a game of Chinese boxes, one way of listening opens the door to another: from the street, we enter a bar and then the post office, from the fishmonger we go to the market, we go through the country and sit down in the hospital. Viv Corringham’s work does not mean to be a documentary or sociological, it does not claim to tell any particular ‘stories’, but as it drags us through the daily life of a neighborhood, it illustrates points of view that are unexpected or usually taken for granted.
Shadow Walks (Florence) is a work by Viv Corringham for Nuovi Paesaggi [radiopapesse.org/nuovipaesaggi], a project by Radio Papesse and Villa Romana; it is produced by Radio Papesse and curated by Lucia Farinati.
Viv Corringham lives and works in Minneapolis, US.
This work was recorded in Florence (Italy) and produced in Autumn 2012.

Show 393: Viandanti (Nostalghia paths, homage to Andrei Tarkovsky) by Giulio Aldinucci

This week RADIA show is presented by Radio Papesse and produced by Italian composer and sound artist Giulio Aldinucci

You can listen to and download the show from here

“In your second album as Obsil, Distances, out on Disasters by Choice, you have also included field recordings from Bagno Vignoni. Did you specifically choose it because it was also the location for a famous sequence in Andrei Tarkovsky’s Nostalghia?I chose this location for two reasons: Nostalghia is one of my favourite films, and also, I hold very fond memories of Bagno Vignoni from many years ago. In both cases, the sounds of the thermal baths are associated with tender and intangible images: on the one hand there’s the film, therefore fiction, on the other, there are my memories that become further and further removed from the present with the passing of time and are destined to repeat themselves “statically” as if they were scenes from a movie.”

Viandanti (Nostalghia paths, homage to Andrei Tarkovsky) was built using:
• field recordings taken in Bagno Vignoni (Siena – Italy) in September 2012. This little Tuscan town is one of the most peculiar Tarkovsky’s Nostalghia location and it’s characterized by a rectangular tank in place of the main square, which contains water that comes from the underground hot springs
• recordings from the Nostalghia’s set.
• various field recordings taken in Val di Merse (Siena – Italy) the area where Giulio was born and where he actually lives. In Val di Merse is also located the Abbey of San Galgano, another Tarkovsky’s Nostalghia location. The field recordings comprise sounds from a procession, the melting snow, the small river Merse flowing…
• granulized fragments of the Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 by Ludwig van Beethoven. The symphony is the preeminent composition of the Nostalghia’s soundtrack.

The recordings of the hot springs taken in Bagno Vignoni some days ago slowly merge with sounds coming from a set of 30 years ago, like following eyes from a middle ‘800 daguerreotype portrait with one’s eyes.
The aquatic sounds flow like a tale with the other different sounds coming on their path like wayfarers, sometimes they follow the movie narration and mood.
The granulized fragments of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony come like a soundtrack that suspend the time.
Giulio Aldinucci was born in Siena (Italy) in 1981.
He is active in the field of electroacoustic music for year now, working in various research fields: from the soundscape to the musical composition for traditional instruments.
From 2006 to 2011, under his project name Obsil (OBserving SILence), he has published three album on CD. A composition from his album Vicino, released by the Irish label Psychonavigation, was chosen from the Wire for the The Wire Tapper 25 CD, enclosed to the April 2011 issue.
The Obsil project ended in 2011; after that he release an ep for Laverna and in August 2012 the Japanese labelNomadic Kids Republic released on CD Tarsia, his first album published with his real name.
He also wrote music for theatrical performances, video art, short movies and he has also contributed to some installation, like Sounding Doors (part of the Talking Doors project by Julijonas Urbonas. This work won the Award of Distinction in Interactive Art at Prix Ars Electronica 2010).
