coming home from nowhere to somewhere – or was it the other way round?
let´s see. or maybe better: let´s listen…
stalkers radia #273: history exhaustion + radia #193: the military landscape show
today we'll take a trip to the zone. no no man's land. but nevertheless lost.
first we'll join an expedition with no return:
"three friends search for an ominous radio station that transmits number sequences with mysterious messages. told is the expedition’s story through an area bearing names such as 'path of the invisible hand', 'stalin highlands' or 'post-modernist cave labyrinth'.
the characters – student, entrepreneur, skilled worker – lose their life or at least get lost under unpleasant circumstances…" [F.H.]
history exhaustion is the audio transformation of an installation francis hunger created in 2009, focussing on the subject of 'verausgabung' (exhaustion).
with the voice of richard cotter.
francis hunger is an artist, writer and curator. he lives in leipzig, germany. find out more about francis hunger and his work at www.irmielin.org
further information on the installation work 'history exhaustion' can be found at www.irmielin.org/works/history_exhaustion/index.htm
and at www.metro-berlin.net/index.php/francis-hunger-history-exhaustion-press-release
radia # 273: "history exhaustion" by francis hunger is a contribution by radiator x for radia art radio network
premiere week on radia: june 21-27, 2010
afterwards we walk military landscapes in different countries from alaska to new mexico:
"The sonic resonance that surround current and former military landscapes have intrigued artists working with sound. Memories of power and technology settle as an uneasy layer in these environments, creating opportunities for artists. I intend for this to be an on-going series, hopefully weaving in writings, interviews and inviting collaborations." [J.C.]
"military landscape" is a radio project curated and produced by jay cotter. with pieces by richard lerman and louise k. wilson.

HISTORY EXHAUSTION von | by francis hunger (radia #273)
today we'll take a trip to the zone. no no man's land. but nevertheless lost.
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]

miss.gunst would like to thank the following artists and sound collectors:

adrian hall and radio one, dunedin, for the acoustic memento;
tkirst and radio cult, sofia, for inviting us to ressonoria;
as well as radia.fm radio art network for being a crowd of incredibly creative partners.
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.]
