Internet Radio Broadcast/Field Recordings

hi everyone,

just a notice to let you know my sound art students at the University of Minnesota have launched a 4-day Internet Radio broadcast featuring field recordings/phonography.

You can tune in from:

http://artlabs.umn.edu/websound

this is the first of three broadcasts over the next three weeks and is largely comprised of un-processed site recordings.

17 students made this broadcast, inspired by the Dadaist Exquisite Corpse technique. Each individual made a 60 second recording then handed off the recorder to another person who added 60 seconds and so on. Sometimes the microphone is stationary, revealing the locational perspective of the recordist. Sometimes it is a searching microphone, finding sounds and audio-images in the environment. Sometimes the recordists actively performed using found objects or their own body as an instrument.

3 additional tracks were later remixed from the original source footage.

The radio stream will be broadcast for 24 hours a day until next Tuesday (May 31) and
works with a dial-up internet connection speed or higher. You simply need a music program on your computer, any free player like iTunes or Real Player for Mac or PC will work.

best wishes,

Abinadi Meza
