Sine Languages

One of my BSR colleagues started a new show entitled 'Sine Languages', which I am quite enjoying. So, I figured it would be a good idea to pass on the link to you all. Make sure to subscribe/follow, if you like!

Starting this fall, Sine Languages will be in the BSRlive schedule, on Sundays at 6pm.

Schubert'ing it

Tonight I'll be filling in on the air for the Schubert Report, from 10-12. A tough set of shoes to fill, but I'll do my best. Expect lots of artsy-fartsy music, electro acoustic, modern classical, film music, ambient, and much more!

Although I am sorry to report I don't have any mixes in the works for the blog at this moment, I am filling in tonight for a radio show on Brown Student and Community Radio, at 7pm EST.

Tune in for lots of new, exciting stuff from the wide world of non-popular music!

Summer Mix

I felt a little rusty working on this mix. First one on this blog in a year! Hopefully there's some stuff that interests you.

The mix I posted in Sept 09 qualified as a "fall" mix.... so it looks like we've just snuck in a summer mix.

Ben Frost - Theory of Machines

Fred Frith - Nowhere to Run

Zeena Parkins - Inyoufrom

Mapstation - Ensemble of Four

Marc Ribot - New Sad

Baby Boots / The Anti Grammys

Tune in tonight, 8-9pm for the maiden voyage show from Misterboots. Serving up sound combinations so dense and fresh you'll wish you had an extra set of ears to take it all in. Good thing for the archives!

the quelformat? Fall Mix Partie Deux

Just realized the last mix of avantgard-y of songs I threw together (not under the guise of a "spring mix"), named the Quelformat? mix, happened in the fall. So, with the leaves already changing here in the northeast, I figured I'd make this mix a partie deux.

The beginning starts with a beautiful accordion solo rendition of a Phillip Glass piece, followed by a dive (through a bit more accordion) into some Alvin Curran (representing Providence!), followed by some percussion, improvised structures..oh just see below. And as always, an eternal indebtedness to John Lurie, not only for the use of his artwork, but also for all of the great music he created over the years.

• What Capitalism Was - Facades
• The Beat Circus - Hypnogogia
• The Beat Circus - The Good Witch
• Alvin Curran - Music is not Music
• Ben Frost - Leo Needs a New Pair of Shoes
• Billy Martin - Killing the Drought
• Ches Smith - The Contra Alto Clarinet in E Flat
• Fred Frith - Screen
• Fred Frith - Bricks for Six
• Vincent Courtois, Sylvie Courvoisier & Ellery Eskelin - Extended

• Morgan Packard - A Place Worth Keeping Part 2
• DJ Spooky - Disjecta (excerpt from Rhythm Science)
• Hal Willner - We Travel the Subways

ELEVENELEVEN :: 19 BUTTRESS O’KNEEL

Some of you may have visted the Plumindustries link I have on my blog--their most recent post is from a woman after my musical heart, and her name is Butress O'Kneel.

From the original Plumindustries post:

Buttress O’Kneel is a sound artist from Melbourne, who has to date released 12 plunderphonic audio-documentaries (on topics such as globalisation, Harry Potter, war, oil, racism, humyn rights, 9/11, exorcisms, “Australian values”, and the Bilderberg Group), 13 albums of culture-jammed post-pop noncore metabreaks, and several other Special Projects, including live manipulations of mainstream CDs through a series of destructive guitar pedals, collaborations with various other folks (including a fully sick deconstruction of Led Zeppelin IV with Blue Mountains misanthrope, Lucas Darklord), and commissioned art-pieces for the ABC.

She has dedicated her life to fighting the reptilian mind-control agenda, whether or not it actually exists.

This Eleven Eleven Special is a surreal journey through time and space, where the listener can meet some of her friends, influences, idols, total strangers whose work she thinks totally rocks, and of course her good self. CONTAINS NO BREAKCORE.

Buttress O’Kneel will be performing in Sydney for the first time for Liquid Architecture 10 more details…

free103point9

free103point9 is a non-profit arts organization focused on establishing and cultivating the genre Transmission Arts. This genre encompasses a diversity of practices and media working with the idea of transmission or the physical properties of the electromagnetic spectrum. Transmission art is generally a participatory live-art or time-based art, and often manifests as radio art, video art, light sculpture, installation, and performance. free103point9 activities support and promote artists exploring transmission mediums for creative expression. free103point9's programs include public performances and exhibitions, an online radio station, the free103point9 Transmission Artists, an artist residency program, a distribution label, an education initiative, a sculpture garden, a study center, and an online archive.

Founded in 1997 as a microcasting artist collective in Brooklyn, NY, free103point9's mobile operations made airtime available to community voices, local bands, and most significantly to a group of under-served artists shaping conceptual works specifically for radio transmission. free103point9 established itself as a non-profit in 2002.
free103point9 Online Radio is available around the clock and features live weekly programs, special guest segments, selections from free103point9's archives, audio theater, and other forms of radio art. free103point9 Online Radio also features live on-location coverage of performances and events involving artists working in transmission arts. The curated pre-recorded content tracks movements in experimental sound art and fringe music genres such as noise, free jazz, and avant-folk. 7YMFJA66J58H
