Sound Immersions
How often does one get a chance to say, "Speaking of Cadavre Exquis"? Well, today's my day...
I spent a good part of my morning today listening to a streaming broadcast of sound art from students of the University of Minnesota. You can tune-in to their 4-day internet Radio broadcast featuring field recordings/phonography through Memorial Day.
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 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.
