This night, M.C. Schmidt (known to most as the pointier half of esteemed 70′s super group MATMOS) descended upon the s&S studio with his current crew of noise students from the San Francisco Art Institute.
For this show, his New Genres Orchestra “6″ class performed & relayed a LIVE, champion collection of original works.
Precision execution indeed! sounds to soothe and exfoliate!

RADIO LIVE TRANSMISSION: M. C. SCHMIDT AND THE NEW GENRES ORCHESTRA
Never underestimate the healing, Muse-protecting power of gainful employment. In M. C. Schmidt’s waking life as an instructor in the New Genres Department of the San Francisco Art Institute, he has been teaching a course called “Sound As Music” this semester. M. C. and his faithful crew have been improvising together, building instruments, and writing and rehearsing new compositions, when they aren’t busy reclining in total darkness on yoga mats and listening to voices, percussion-based music, old synthesizer albums, cut-ups and musique concrete, and general mayhem for hours and hours on end. They are taking a break from this busy schedule of meditation and study to share some of their recordings and to perform live on Shirley and Spinoza Internet radio on Sunday, April 30th at 8 PM.

Ub Radio: – Musical Chairs

okay……

THE RULES:

  • Each musician brought an instrument that everyone would be able to “play”.
  • When DJ Footstool played the theme music, the musicians got up and circled the table.
  • When the theme music stopped playing, the musicians sat in the closest chair & played that instrument!
  • got it?

Ub Radio #8

This was a special pre-recorded show hosted by dAS of the usual Ub Radio crew. In this yummy little 1/1/’06 gifty-pie, the man thrust a diamond tipped, mp3-encoded shovel deep into the Ub Radio time capsule – to see what long lost treasures would come a-bubblin up. The history of UbRadio is aeons older than appearances on s&S, you see. These nomadic noise makers and hosts have been bringing you delicious warm, noise milk to amuse and challenge since ….um the mid freakin 80′s? (is that right, dAS?)

sounds and performances by:

Freshly Wrapped Candies,
Illusion of Safety,
Monks of Doom,
Crash Worship,
Monte Cazazza,
Negativland,
Randy Grief,
If, Bwana,
Suckdog,
Minoy,
The Haters,
