Show as will be broadcast

Javier Aregger – ( Radiophonica)
Adam Wimbush – ( short excerpt from Demon Call)
Mark Pilkington – (Universal Frustration)
“If it has to be about something, it’s about frustration. This is the theme of 91-year-old Californian telescope maker John Dobson’s talk. There’s also my frustration, as a non-musician, trying to make music and use a new piece of music software. I used only my first takes for the musical parts. I suppose it’s also about mankind’s frustration at getting established in space, we’re fumbling, like me on the keyboard. The whooshing sounds were recorded by the Huygens-Cassini probe as it hurtled through Titan’s atmosphere earlier this year. Today, 12 October, China has launched its second manned spaceflight. They also only get one take, but I hope we all get there in the end!”
Dan Wison – (Nervous) this radio art is based around agglomerations of fingernail bites recorded from a piezoed jaw!
Chris Weaver – (Mexico City 104.4)
Adam Wimbush – (Virtual Radioality)
CARTER TUTTI – (4:16:16)
Concept: To create an audio sound piece from visual images of the creative process of the composition itself. The listener is hearing an audio representation of the visual form of the compositional process of the piece they are listening to. The structure is numerologically based upon the 104.4 frequency. (4 x 104.4 = 4:16:16) i.e. 4 images converted into 4 audio pieces and arranged to present the linear sound of the visual pixels of the 4 images. These images are found at www.chrisandcosey.com/41616
Tom Wallace – (Voice and Data)
John Lovett – (TV hijacking in the `80’s )
Magz Hall – (Surfing The Euro 104.4 Pop Poodles and Greek Margaritas)
Bjorn Hatleskog – (Makeashit)
Jem Finer and Marcia Farquhar – (o is for rocket h is for shark )
(excerpt _ a to I ) An excerpt from a 16 minute piece made for the number 8 tram in Helsinki.
Richard Bowers – (Hymn) includes a poetic text cut up from an English translation of Novalis’ “Hymns to the Night”, read by the artist. The cutting up of the text is echoed in the (partly) randomised segmentation of radio voices:often reduced to textural reiterations of single phonemes. This near chaos is suspended on a bed of noise which drives the piece forward, like a ‘plane during take off.
Angus Carlyle – (For Gimpo And Tim) – Poor recordings of a sublime event. For the past eight years, at the time of the Vernal Equinox, Gimpo, Tim and those brave enough to join them embark upon a continuous 25 hour voyage around the M25, London’s orbital motorway. In 2004, the white transit van leading the procession was equipped with an FM transmitter locked to 104.4 FM. I DJ’d non-stop in the back of the van throughout the trip. What you hear are snatches of conversation 17 hours in as we refuel to the accompaniment of Clackett Lane Service Station’s own choice of music”.
Fari Bradley – excerpt from (Euros)
These three artists have created radio pieces made from edits of programmes aired on several European radios which broadcast on 104.04 (Radio Klara-Spain, Era Aegean-Greece, 104 Dublin, Eire, Radio Pilatus -Switzerland, Sputnik-Germany, Stanta Cristina-Spain, Radio Factor-Czech Republic).
William English – excerpt from (Tape work)
Iris Garrelfs – Excerpt from (Talking) Space To Space is an ongoing radio project by Iris Garrelfs. Switch on your radio and listen to this echo of creation! Using captured natural radio emissions from celestial objects, Iris reshapes these sounds into an audio composition and flings them back to the stars in a radio broadcast. A poetic gesture, a sensual fiction which takes the past, re-shapes it in real-time and travels with it into the future.
