small worlds radia #300: the exclamation of a liliputian discovering gulliver + radia #263: miniatures

small worlds. a big issue!

bits'n'bytes of stories about small worlds, people, things:

"Whatever the power of words, we already are on the other side, where the universe of Swift, Verne, London mingle happily to embark us on a ship, drifting from the surface to the underwaters depths […]  A prism of preposterous stories with many fascinating animals coming from the dawn of time, just for traumatizing children." [L.B./T.R./F.P.]

and great sound miniatures. en gros:

"… to rub concrete materials to the spirit of the times, dipping into the fluctuating fonds of web, movies and songs.
28 minutes about a meeting between the instant and the unstable, unstructured and restructured songs, exiled voices and transitional piano …" [P.M./E.N.]

how great is that!

sonata dawn radia #239 morsonata + radia #40 dead by dawn

a sonata in two movements.
both rather dark.

however, the first one is take from live and about the living:

"Morsonata is the radia edit of a hour long live radio show produced by Mobile Radio for the FON festival in Barrow-in-Furness, England. With Barrow being home to Europe's biggest submarine shed and neighbouring Lake District having hosted Kurt Schwitters for the last years of his life we decided to combine these two influences. Schwitters' Ursonate performed in morse code by one of Barrow's retired submariners is the underlying thread to the show that includes live music and field recordings by FON artists in residence Haco, Susan Matthews, Sarah Washington and Knut Aufermann."

the second one, composed by tom wallace, deals with the dead, with

"clinical reports of people (mainly young drug abusers) who die whilst in hospital. The reading of their unfortunate medical histories is underscored with an electronic music composition made from hospital noises. The piece has been played once on Resonance fm, but was hidden in a larger programme due to the sensitiity of the theme." [T.W.]
