That! Resounding! Sound!

This week's show was a live mix. It featured some of my own audio tracks (wheel of fortune clips, a stuttering obama, and b-songs from my ipod) and others I have played before on the show... Seth Price video game trax, B Gysin, WSBurroughs, Dick Higgins, and some ethno-poetry off UBU and some other stuff as well. If you're interested I can direct you in the right direction, and I think this is the route I'll take from now on... no more listing everything meticulously. Anyway I was quite proud of this "cut-up/cleansing show" and now feel prepared for hijack. If you'd like to listen to what you missed you can follow the title of this post to the hour broadcast preserved forever at internet archives. Thanks for listening.WHWHHAHHHWHHAHHHWHHAHHWAHHHAWHHH WA W AHW HAWHHAWHH WAW HAWHWHH W HAHW HHW AhwH W HWAHWHHWA H A W h HAW Hh a h hwh

Okay this week I'm having fun... intergrating Brain Joseph Davis as the fabric that holds my "songiness" theme together and bouncing these fried tracks off more or less listenable stuff from Madlib to Monkey Chants to Talking Heads to a plundered Micheal Jackson... it's just an experiment...1. Lady Be Good - Ella Fitzgerald - from the Ubuweb : ethnopoetics... check the link for some words about scat, Louis Armstrong, and a connection between jazz and dada2. Brian Joseph Davis - from Ten Banned Albums Burned Then Played (a contemporary sound project which is just as it sounds) - Stravinsky3. Madlib - from Beat Konducta vol. 5+6 two tracks, back to-back (a twofer Tuesday ha!): 1) Infinity Sound & 2) Sacrifice4. Ketjak : The Ramayama Monkey Chant- (9 minute excerpt) - also from ubuweb : ethnopoetics (I liked how this fit with the skipping, repetitive nature of B.J. Davis "burned albums"5. Brian Joseph Davis - Ten Banned Albums Burned Then Played - Sex Pistols6. John Oswald - Plunderphonics - Micheal Jackson "Dab"7. Sonic Youth - Goo Interview Flexi - from disc 2 of the Goo reissue8. Brian Joseph Davis - Ten Banned Albums Burned Then Played - The Beatles9. Talking Heads - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) - from the album Speaking in Tongues10. Morales-Taniel_Sin-Cabeza_15-Movimiento-sexual (I don't know where I got this [I thought ubu] but I can't find it again and I don't know anything other than the file's name, sorry)11. Negativland - Richard Nixon Died Today - from the album Thigmotactic12. Brian Joseph Davis - Ten Banned Albums Burned Then Played - First Family/Louie Louie13. New Humans - You Must Be Free - from album New Humans14. Brain Joseph Davis - Ten Banned Albums Burned Then Played - 2 Live Crew15.

Boundaries... storytelling... from within the institute we broadcast our tales even as the tales we tell broadcast our buildings... oh, I'll quit being so enigmatic and just say: welcome to this week's show.1) The first 7:11 excerpted from Vito Acconci's Bristol Project (I've been waiting to play this awhile and if you're getting up at 4 am this will probably lull you right back to sleep but it promises a nice nod back off to...) The entire piece is nearly 50 minutes; a quite lovely, audio glimpse "that informs" (sorry, art school verbiage) Acconci's later work...2) "Interior Conversations #1" - This week features UI sculpture graduate student Erica Damman, as she discusses windows in the air, doors through trees, and her work in the Institute of Storytelling...3) Kenneth Goldsmith, excerpt from Traffic (from a 3-28-07 reading at Moma) (12:14)4) JohnEKilowatt performs "Panther Rabbi" (6:20)5) John Cage and Rahsaan Roland Kirk "Sound?" will fill out the remainder of the hour... I feel a little guilty about putting such a long piece on the air (and for saturating my show with John Cage in the early goings) but I think this is justified because his ideas are such a fundamental backbone for the ideas I am after in this show on a weekly basis, but also specifically this week's "boundaries" slant. This piece is brilliant, it's actually a film, the link for the film is above, you should watch it. (26:37)I want to especially thank Erica Damman for her collaboration this week and support of this radio show/project in general. In our conversations leading up to this week's "interview" she spoke of the following poem... Her piece (see photo below), named after it's title, is located at the new U of I Studio Arts building and I've included the poem because this is the internet and information wants to be free: Because You Asked about the Line between Prose and Poetryby Howard Nemerov Sparrows were feeding in a freezing drizzleThat while you watched turned into pieces of snowRiding a gradient invisibleFrom silver aslant to random, white, and slow.There came a moment that you couldn't tell.And then they clearly flew instead of fell.---------And on a trivial note: Nemerov was brother to the late, great photographer Diane Arbus... thanks for listening...WHWHHAHHHWHHAHHHWHHAHHWAHHHAWHHH WA W AHW HAWHHAWHH WAW HAWHWHH W HAHW HHW AhwH W HWAHWHHWA H A W h HAW Hh a h hwh
