This
week we
presented another live project, Dance For Radio, a dance piece
choreographed specially fro Framework by Lisa Alexander and performed
by Lisa and Nicola Herd. This short piece was recorded in several
different environments by several different methods, a selection of
which were presented prior to a live performance of the piece in the
Resonance FM studio. More details of the individual recordings
below. We're very curious to hear what people thought of this
piece; if you heard it, please let us know! We
also, of
course, had some great new music to present: perhaps my favorite
raw field recording submission yet, by Simon Keep, some domestic
composition by The Beige Channel, and a glorious new double cd by Gen
Ken Montgomery. This will be the last playlist this year, as I
will be away until mid January, but the show will go on with Joel at
the helm, and I'll catch you up on the artist info when I return.

We
had an
extra long show this week, allowing us to play some longer pieces in
full. New pieces from s'agita recordings and their new sublabel
(including my own new cd eyes like a fish), two appearances by
Seth Nehil, and a beautiful new appearance on Bernhard Gunter's trente
oiseaux. Our next show will feature a live phonography experiment
with dancer/choreographer Lisa Alexander, dance for radio... paolo

Thanks
to
everyone in London who came down to Hoxton Hall last week for the show,
and to all of you who were able to listen in to our Resonance
performance online. It's been a busy couple of weeks, but things
are settling back down now. Three weeks ago we featured material
by Jonathan and Michael as well as Joel and me (murmer) in preparation
for the gigs, and the new phonography.org composers compilations
(featuring field recordings used in composition, as opposed to the raw
material that has been phonography.org's concentration so far).
This past week we looked at the French label Sonoris, as well as some
work by Generator Sound's Gen Ken Montgomery. Gen

recording of
mostly quiet, resonating electronic sounds. "With the music of Bernard
Parmegiani something in us is freed and comes out of passivity. This
thing, which I know now was blocked without my knowing where, is the
buzzing and Time within the flesh -- a humming of millions of closed
mouths between the cells. What is the murmur made up of? The body
develops a tongue in listening to this music, and there is within it
great movement of the sound material... it is music that makes the
organic breathe, lifts it up and stretches it... music that takes the
ear 'beyond' work, but touching the inner side." -- Bernard Noel.

A
recent
computer meltdown has left us out of touch for the past several weeks,
but the show has gone on as normal. Hence this is a special
edition of our playlist: 3 shows in one! There has been a lot
great music passing through our halls, culminating in a special 2 hour
broadcast this past Friday. Thanks, as always, to all of you
who've been sending in submissions. One
more
thing: our next show, October 4th, features a live performance by
San Francisco's Nuuk, and, if all goes well, Michael Northam will be
making an appearance in the next few weeks as well. *Francisco

aired
slightly later this show, from 9:30 to 10:30pm GMT; I hope this didn't
cause confusion for anyone trying to listen in (it was a surprise for
us as well...). This coming week we're back to our normal
broadcast time. For
this
show I finally started to delve in to the material that you've
been sending in - some really great stuff! I also played some of
my own field recordings between tracks, underneath the commentary: the
Brooklyn Bridge, a small marina in Massachusetts, crickets from the
bedroom window in my mother's house... We finished the show with
a wonderful live set from Sawako; look out for her 2 upcoming releases
(on aesova and throat). This Friday I welcome Joel's return to
the show; he's been away on tour but has now returned to us. No
live performance this week, but in the works for the next couple months
are possible live appearances by Rosy Parlane and Mattin, Nuuk, and
others... Koura

with 'cough') to join me this week and to bring along some selections
of his own to play before the live set. He then played a new
piece, Halant, live, followed by a recording of a live duo with Aube
earlier this year, and finished off with a live improvised
duo with myself. This Friday will feature a live performance
by Japanese artist Sawako in the 2nd half of the show - hope you can
