LIVE-ish: Negativland -> Over The Edge

(In “Concert” 3 hour delayed relay from Toronto)

we lent a respectful relaying hand to Don, Peter & the boys who were in Canada performing Over The Edge “radio shows” live in concert – read about it here. The program, “It’s All In Your Head”, was a stereophonic look at monotheism in all its forms, as hosted by the venerable Dr. Oslo Norway. This performance took place in Toronto, Ontario at the Deep Wireless festival, and kicked off a month-long Celebration of Radio Art with performances held throughout the city. The source webcast came from CKLN fm, Toronto

running time: 2 hrs

Royal Oakland Gramophone Company: Roaring Brass Flower

The original inspiration for the ROGC were the stories and recordings of the early expeditions during the first decade of the 20th century, namely the recordings by the Gramophone Co. of London of the Caucasus in 1908-1909
The thought of a lost recorder perhaps being passed along and traded by merchants and locals, each contributing a small imprint to the hand cranked anthropological sound collage had a nice narrative appeal. Then there was the floral shape of the bell itself, which of course attraced the futuristic mechanical insects that were sent from the far, far distant future to all points in time to invisibly relay the sounds of civilization. Something like that.
This show was actually a composite of the March 20th / and March 27th 2005 shows. I cut them together into an hour show for air on Otoscope, Nantes France…

Headphoner & The Nurse: Classic is Fantastic

This was the first show to be offered on s&S from these sound genies – running their microphones into the dusty bins of dusty classical music library section (and more) – they offer something simply fantastic

LIVE: The Royal Oakland Gramophone Company
(Czirluye un Czpenocza)

…with another exciting ROGC adventure. Directly beamed from the year 1905, the sound expedition continued. We heard allusions to the fate of the pack, messages for the Kaiser, curses, hexes, benedictions and recorded proof that wolves could once fly.
