Created by Sam Sebren.
For this Fall 2018 edition, NIRRH creator Sam Sebren features a live recording of a composition called "Mental Institution" which he debuted at Wave Farm’s 20th Anniversary celebration on October 21, 2017 at the Fridman Gallery in NYC. This piece was specially written for the event, using a combination of multiple transmission sources and electronics for the performance. Listeners will also hear a new sound collage made from a variety of Sebren’s other recent works. Tune in to 90.7-FM or wavefarm.org on September 29, 11am - 12pm to hear the show.
The Nothing Is Real Radio Hour, created by Sam Sebren broadcasts on WGXC 90.7-FM from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on the fifth Saturday (of months with 5 Saturdays) as part of Wave Farm's Transmission Arts and Experimental Sound programming. The Nothing Is Real Radio Hour includes sound and transmission arts works by Sebren, and occasionally works by other artists, both pre-recorded and performed live in the studio.
In a multidisciplinary practice, much of Sebren's work challenges notions of accepted reality in art, advertising, and public spaces. In mediums including sound, Sebren's work blurs actual, imagined, and technological realities as he critiques socio-political rules & regulations in our consumer "culture" and urges his audience to smile and re-think our priorities.
