ROGC: 17 Year Cicada
After 17 years of loveless, subterranian root munching, how about inviting all your swingin single pals for the biggest ‘hook-up’ party of your seemingly eternal pupal life!
Let’s make some noise!!! Yes, I realize not all of the cicadas in this episode are of the aforementioned variety…. But with all the merry-making, I don’t think anyone minded a handful of inter-species party crashers.
I’d discovered a bunch of cassette recordings online of a woman describing the month-long coming (and going) of 17 year Cicadas (Brood X) in 2004 and 1987. While her cicadas completely overloaded her recordings, her narration was what i was most attracted to… A sentimental biologist’s tone. This show was easily inspired. Insects are generally good for that.
running time: 2 hours

Royal Oakland Gramophone Company – Untitled
Oooo..<*)))-{ The device sat in the study of a wealthy aristocrat, while late at night the cook would haul it downstairs and perform a midnight symphony of kitchenware. You recall the scene in star wars inside the big Jawa recycling mobile – where droids and droid parts crunched & clattered? This wasn’t much different….just moodier. Another chapter revealed the whirring and chirping of reposessed sound gathering devices – held captive – en route to the next ROGC show in the year 1905
**mp3 excerpts:
- Cerf’s sketches, iron skillets, Iranian Tar, etc
- stupid beat, feedback, Bird People Of China, Irish
- adult beat loop, effected victrola skips, cello sounds, etc
- Cerf’s sketches, more iron skillets, Gramophone Birds

The Royal Oakland Gramophone Company
It was 1905 AD. The missing Gramophone recorder made it’s way back westward … passing through many hands, many lands… listening to, and remembering, every part of it’s now fractured history. Was the roaring brass flower in the cross hairs of a futuristic queen bee – great grannny-to-be of s&S?? We didn’t exactly find that out this time around, but among the long list of other revealed characters: a rabid Sumatran flute player, a mysterious man muttering on his deathbed, a crazed Englishman going on and on about hobgoblins, etc
**mp3 excerpts:
- 2 different CoStar records played in tandem revealed this story,
cheesey TG loop, fat audio feedback - (temporarily offline) man of his deathbed (CoStar); creepy shaman
- even more CoStar, Jaws soundtrack, stupid beat, noise, etc
running time: 2 hours
