radia #445: quaker hall hire + radia #315: epic fail
[pls. scroll down for english version]

geräusche. nachgerade klassisches material für klangkunst – das sich eben deshalb auch auf die unterschiedlichste art und weise verwenden lässt.
beispielsweise in einer bricolage aus unterschiedlichsten archivalien. oder auch symphonisch-konzertant…

im ersten teil der sendung lädt uns der noise-spezialist L$D fundraiser aus dunedin in neuseeland dazu ein, ihm in die tiefen seiner sammlung gefundener kassetten von kirchenkonzerten zu folgen.

im anschluss kredenzt uns marufura fufunjiru eine nach dem zufallsprinzip aus fragmenten von klängen und geräuschen komponierte symphonie mit paukenschlag, die zugleich von der freude an fehlendem und an fehlern erzählt.

noise(s). almost a classic for creating sound art. yet for this very reason the source for a whole variety of considerably different aesthetics.
as in today's show, ranging from wild bricolages of found tape sounds to a proper symphony…

in the first part of the show artist dunedin based noise specialist L$D fundraiser invites us to follow him into the depths of his found tape collections from church concerts:

"'Quaker Hall Hire' is a tape-based composition which was woven together for radia by Dunedin noise bricoleur L$D Fundraiser, from his extensive cache of found tapes of church recordings. A repeated sample from the answering machine tape from a Quaker hall, with its thrown-away, yet undeleted messages from people wanting to hire the venue, overlays borrowings from various found tapes from the discarded archives of Walter Ballantyne’s ‘N. Z Training Schools for Prophets and Intercessors’. A woozy, tape-quivered psychedelia runs through the piece’s emphasis on voice and mantric repetition, the cassette as found object being filtered through a decidedly outsider sampling process, by an artist with a predilection for splicing together careful, precise collages from the farthest reaches of audio material culture, his own sampled loops of guitar noise and other standard and invented instrumentation layering with the audio from VHS educational videos about raising children with handicaps. This material is then put through a process which equally balances the aleatory and the incisive, embracing both the aesthetics of the mistake and the humour of detourned juxtaposition, with digital files re-dialed through analogue history, time stretched and pulled by re-recording to 4 track off a cassette recorder for blind and handicapped persons with variable speed control. Searching the trash of mainstream political and cult-toned religious culture for clues, evidence of sickness, and strategies of subversion, sharing a language with Burroughs cut up tape-experiments, an aesthetic affinity with Stockhausen’s deconstruction of militarist nationalism (Hymnen) as filtered through the psychedelia of The Faust Tapes, and an interest in the grim side of the discarded excesses of capitalist culture in a way that implies decades-long familiarity with the Re:search Industrial Culture Handbook, while refracting such influences through local sensibilities, this is Dunedin dump-shop musique concrète at its finest." [R.D.]

afterwards we'll listen to a piece by marufura fufunjiru, who presents a symphony with drumbeat from fragments of sounds and noises, generated by chance and cherishing the beauty of faults and failures:

"There are two main approaches to my artistic output. One is based on ideas. Thinking, considering, rejecting, building, destroying – everything inside my head. Mostly without notes, definitely without interim results. And then sooner or later the whole 'product' comes out like a chicken egg, ready to be published, staged….. or thrown away. The other approach is based on experiment. I simply throw myself into a situation with no ideas how to deal with them and work from there. It’s a bit like blindfolding myself and slowly removing the blindfold by running into things with my head.
For 'Epic fail No. 9 mit Paukenschlag' I followed the second approach. I had old but never published material on my computer. Mostly short notes (loops) of noise and beats. So I used chance operations…" [M.F.]
