remember
radia #245: memento internationale + radia #41: ressonoria
two travels into the space of radiophonic memory.
first adrian hall leads us into the head of a old man, retrieving the sounds of the past:
"This an atmospheric work for radio which takes place inside the head, and the history, of an elderly man.
He dwells on moments and places he may have been, and the life in turn of his father.
The work is initially set in the shaving mirror of his home, and touches on mortality,
and the trades of working men everywhere…" [A.H.]
afterwards, we're going down on the airport of ressonoria, the land of recollected sounds:
"Ressonoria (from: res/republic and sonus/sound) is an anti-utopic static story about a country-airport.
The whole political moral is manifested in forcing absurd sound limits, frequency sell, prison for violators.
Anti-utopia aimed at the airport of all sound experimentalists, full of bites – like the name of the airport is called ”frequenz shumen” (shumen is “noisy” in bulgarian). of course in the end the naivity smashes the airport and ends the game." [tkirst]

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.]

COUNTING YEARS von | by Jörg Köppl & Peter Zacek (radia #215)
"counting years" is based on a radio and sound art project that took place in 2007 in amman, the capital city of jordan, in the framework of "no condition is permament" – an art project in public space initiated by the swiss artist rayelle niemann. it is for the first time that ammann encouners interventions in public space, conducted by artists from jordan, egypt, palestine, lebanon, and switzerland.

n0nBLOG
Absolutely no need for another weblog. Yet miss.gunst has installed one – and this time, one of these standard blogs normally chosen by absolute beginners. Why?
To muse about "negation, Nichts, Nul(l), zero / ZERO, negativity, absence, doing nothing…" ???
Oh, no!

Digital Dust Diaries
The project is dedicated to digital dust collection and what might be called a media archeology in the broadest sense; subjects of research include a wide spectrum of (para)phenomena, instable, dead and undead media, their apparitions and their dispersion.
