Radio Stew: Postnuklea rekviemo
Produced by various artists.
A premiere broadcast of Postnuklea rekviemo, composer and musician Jim Petit’s fourth album, released on March 11, 2018 in conjunction with the seventh anniversary of Fukushima nuclear plant accident. The album explores a new musical path employing symphony orchestra, a minimoog synth, a blues-rock band, a church organist, a vibraphonist, the National Rhine Opera's youth choir, concrete sounds, voices from Windscale, Three Miles Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima and commentaries about Hiroshima and Bikini Island nuclear bomb test, and Jim Petit's very own slide guitars. Most of this music was recorded using solar energy, and the vinyl LP was pressed by biomass energy. At the end of the broadcast, listeners are invited to take a picture of their eyes and send it to Jim for a participatory, visual and sound installation artwork that will be created throughout 2018.
