Broadcasts

This program was assembled by Conduction Series member Jimmy Garver, culled from 81 minutes of collaborative improvisational bursts created by the Conduction Series group.
The Conduction Series is a collaborative live radio broadcast produced by sound and transmission artists across the Americas on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM Radio for Open Ears in New York’s Upper Hudson Valley.

Part 2: American novelist, short story writer, essayist, painter, and spoken word performer William S. Burroughs is sonically explored in this episode. Born 100 years ago and died in 1997, Burroughs’ cut-up period — the mid-1950s to mid-1960s — is explored here, with a special focus on Burroughs use of bodies and diseases as transmission metaphors. Ronald De Feo wrote in Modern Occasions in 1972, “in ‘The Ticket that Exploded,’ he scatters among his short-winded and repetitive fantasies a metaphysics, an eschatology, a theory of possession by demonic tape recorders, a theory of sexuality, an assault on advertising as a form of brainwashing, the usual quota of flashbulb-and-firecracker sodomies, and some suggestions for mind-changing party games.” This show cuts-up Burroughs’ words and mixes them with other odd sounds and stories.

New and forgotten ways of making radio

There were many Dada’s. They have inhabited different cities, were named with many names, some were left unknown, others nameless. Borderlessness is written all over Dada’s body. She is not offended and she makes offenses. Directing infinity back to its own beginnings makes Dada capable of recurrently establishing clarity. Crossing and dismantling sense out of borders and limits – we know them as obstacles, as constraints, as objects to walk over, dodge and evade. For its destruction and digestion we need Dada that takes the principle of “kakortedragost” (“asyouplease” – the concept of Dragan Aleksić) to break through the ingrained structures of power. And more radia by RADADAR: a multimedia digestive circuit performative installation took place on 17th December 2020 in Ljubljana, Slovenia as an annual event of Radio Student’s open radio (art-theory) investigative platform RADAR (www.radiostudent.si/radar), hosted by Cirkulacija2, a basement echo chamber residing below the city’s main street.

#1074: What became of the Library of Alexandria? It seems to have fallen victim to the flames. Just like our beautiful jingle. Only remnants of it remain, because we allowed ourselves to play with fire in this programme. We were amazed at how many levels there are links between the element of fire and radio! It starts with the German word “Funkfeuer” (radio beacon) and ends with Telefunken and lightning. We enjoy the convivial warmth of the campfire and marvel at electromagnetic inventiveness. A programme featuring sonic illusions and surprising parallel universes. Production and recordings by Barbara Huber, Barbara Kaiser, Fabi Lux, Stefan Nussbaumer & Karl Schönswetter. Contains industrial recordings by kwandalist.
