The broadcast, at 8 p.m. Sat., March 14, features works by Hank Bull and Felix Kubin, as well as David Crowley's look at Oskar Hansen's links to the twentieth-century Polish electroacoustic scene, and the role of the experimental radio studio in Warsaw at the time; Franco Berardi remembering the days of Radio Alice, a legendary free radio in the seventies; Lawrence Abu Hamdan exploring the contemporary politics of listening and the role of the voice in law; and reintrepretation of Samuel Beckett's play 'Cascando', by Joan Morey.
1 a.m.: Selected Songs: Quintron From Wikipedia: "Quintron (real name Robert Rolston; born circa 1967, Germany) is an American musician and leader of the eponymous one-man-band, "Quintron". He is a celebrated nightclub organist and inventor, who has patented a number of his own inventions and often performs at his own private club, the Spellcaster Lodge, located on St. Claude Avenue in New Orleans’ 9th Ward. He frequently performs with his wife, fellow musician and puppeteer, Panacea Pussycat (also known as Miss Pussycat), co-founder of the 9th Ward's now defunct Pussycat Caverns. Quintron's most notable invention to date is the Drum Buddy, a mechanically-rotating, five-oscillator, light-activated drum machine."
