[english]

an hour of radio art dedicated to lovers of strange sounds, wonderful weird electronics, and acoustical pataphysics pataphysical acoustics…

in the first part of the show, dieter van dam presents a pataphysical tape cut-up featuring one of our most favourite pataphysicians, felix kubin:

"a sample based homage to the brilliant work of musician and radio artist Felix Kubin. The piece is build up around various fragments, most of them taken from Kubin radio experiments and music productions, some parts taken from releases on his Gagarin record label and interwoven with some bits and pieces from other artists, regarded as a source of inspiration by the artist himself (Sun Ra, Yuri Gagarin and Gregory Whitehead to name but a few)." [D.V.D.]

afterwards, we 'll continue with another incredibly talented specialist for strange noises, sophie wilder – who won't tell us before why she choose the number twelve:

"Things Sophie likes / Electronic experimentation / Birdsong / Old Science fiction / Totnes / The great outdoors / Cats // Things Sophie hates / Convention / Capitalism / Broccoli / Winter / Spiders / Garden gnomes // Things Sophie is / A drifting clarifier / An experimenter / Usually late / An introvert // Things Sophie is not / Organised / Good at writing about herself. Sophie Wilder is not married, has no children, and does not live in Surrey." [S.W.]

Sophie Wilder has been making strange noises for over thirty years, initially at home but then as part of the legendary lost 80s band Well Crucial. Nowadays she intersperses infrequent improvisation as part of the A Band with weekly broadcasts of bizarre sounds on Soundart Radio. Her home equipment consists of a couple of battered synth modules, a few musical toys and primitive recording equipment.
