LIVE: SAGAN

* Scholarly blazer? – CHECK!

* Turtleneck? – CHECK!

* Billions & billions of tiny, etc? – CHECK!

If you REALLY love your mum, what better way to have celebrated Mother’s Day than to have taken her on a cosmic sound tour of the outer universe with a LIVE Sagan show? – all without even leaving the trailer?! There was none.

This performance of what has apparently become the monthly Sunday SAGAN Fireside Sound-Council was simply top-notch. A LIVE studio to studio linked event!!

Unfortunately, on this round, we had some technical problems – namely an intermittently shakey audio link with the Sagan studio – often it was just great, but in segments sputtered like crazy – we’ll be ironing this stuff out during the week and making the setup ‘bulletproof’ for next time. Thanks for all the LIVE emailed input from listeners out there in the field!

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

SPL (David Slusser, Len Paterson, Scott Looney)

LIVE performance from a warm noisey nest of wires – champion squeaky, creaky, beepy boopy, squeal & doot-n-doot!! Tophats off to these boys for dropping by the compound, gear in-tow and toasting up our cryogenic crypts

LIVE: SAGAN returned!!!

Though it didn’t technically count as “returning” since they LIVE audio linked with the s&S studio from their home base. Hope you tuned in, blended yourself a future-shake, listened to the sounds of the year 6000 AD – and vainly made an attempt to graph the incomprehensible multi-dimensional routes signals took before reaching your ears. Featured were loads of field sounds recorded at the Chabot Observatory earlier in the day
